Προς Κορινθιους Β΄ 1
1 παυλοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου δια θεληματοσ θεου και τιμοθεοσ ο αδελφοσ τη εκκλησια του θεου τη ουση εν κορινθω συν τοισ αγιοισ πασιν τοισ ουσιν εν ολη τη αχαια
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, the brother, to the congregation of God which is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
Favor to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 ευλογητοσ ο θεοσ και πατηρ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο πατηρ των οικτιρμων και θεοσ πασησ παρακλησεωσ
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies, and the God of all consolation!
4 ο παρακαλων ημασ επι παση τη θλιψει ημων εισ το δυνασθαι ημασ παρακαλειν τουσ εν παση θλιψει δια τησ παρακλησεωσ ησ παρακαλουμεθα αυτοι υπο του θεου
who comforts us in all out affliction, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any affliction, by the consolation with which they are comforted of God.
5 οτι καθωσ περισσευει τα παθηματα του χριστου εισ ημασ ουτωσ δια του χριστου περισσευει και η παρακλησισ ημων
For as the sufferings for Christ abound in us, also, our consolation abounds through Christ.
6 ειτε δε θλιβομεθα υπερ τησ υμων παρακλησεωσ και σωτηριασ τησ ενεργουμενησ εν υπομονη των αυτων παθηματων ων και ημεισ πασχομεν και η ελπισ ημων βεβαια υπερ υμων ειτε παρακαλουμεθα υπερ τησ υμων παρακλησεωσ και σωτηριασ
Now, whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort, and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effected by enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7 ειδοτεσ οτι ωσπερ κοινωνοι εστε των παθηματων ουτωσ και τησ παρακλησεωσ
And out hope of you is steadfast, knowing that, as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the comfort.
8 ου γαρ θελομεν υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι υπερ τησ θλιψεωσ ημων τησ γενομενησ ημιν εν τη ασια οτι καθ υπερβολην εβαρηθημεν υπερ δυναμιν ωστε εξαπορηθηναι ημασ και του ζην
Wherefore, brethren, we would not have you ignorant concerning our affliction, which happened to us in Asia; that we were exceedingly pressed above our strength, insomuch as we despaired even of life.
9 αλλα αυτοι εν εαυτοισ το αποκριμα του θανατου εσχηκαμεν ινα μη πεποιθοτεσ ωμεν εφ εαυτοισ αλλ επι τω θεω τω εγειροντι τουσ νεκρουσ
Nay, more, we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead;
10 οσ εκ τηλικουτου θανατου ερρυσατο ημασ και ρυεται εισ ον ηλπικαμεν οτι και ετι ρυσεται
who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 συνυπουργουντων και υμων υπερ ημων τη δεησει ινα εκ πολλων προσωπων το εισ ημασ χαρισμα δια πολλων ευχαριστηθη υπερ υμων
you, also, laboring together in prayer for us, that the gift to us from many persons, may, by many, be acknowledged with thanksgiving for us.
12 η γαρ καυχησισ ημων αυτη εστιν το μαρτυριον τησ συνειδησεωσ ημων οτι εν απλοτητι και ειλικρινεια θεου ουκ εν σοφια σαρκικη αλλ εν χαριτι θεου ανεστραφημεν εν τω κοσμω περισσοτερωσ δε προσ υμασ
For this is our glorying--the testimony of our conscience, that with godly simplicity and sincerity, (not with fleshly wisdom, but by the favor of God, ) we have behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly among you.
13 ου γαρ αλλα γραφομεν υμιν αλλ η α αναγινωσκετε η και επιγινωσκετε ελπιζω δε οτι και εωσ τελουσ επιγνωσεσθε
For we write no other things to you than what you read, and also acknowledge; and I hope that you will acknowledge, even to the end;
14 καθωσ και επεγνωτε ημασ απο μερουσ οτι καυχημα υμων εσμεν καθαπερ και υμεισ ημων εν τη ημερα του κυριου ιησου
seeing, indeed, you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 και ταυτη τη πεποιθησει εβουλομην ελθειν προσ υμασ το προτερον ινα δευτεραν χαριν εχητε
And in this persuasions I purposed to come to you first, that you might have a second gift;
16 και δι υμων διελθειν εισ μακεδονιαν και παλιν απο μακεδονιασ ελθειν προσ υμασ και υφ υμων προπεμφθηναι εισ την ιουδαιαν
and from you to pass through into Macedonia, and from Macedonia to come again to you, and by you to be sent forward into Judea.
17 τουτο ουν βουλευομενοσ μητι αρα τη ελαφρια εχρησαμην η α βουλευομαι κατα σαρκα βουλευομαι ινα η παρ εμοι το ναι ναι και το ου ου
Having, then, purposed this, did I, indeed, use levity? or the things which I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh; so that with me there should be yes, yes, and no, no?
18 πιστοσ δε ο θεοσ οτι ο λογοσ ημων ο προσ υμασ ουκ εγενετο ναι και ου
But as God is faithful, certainly our word, which was to you, was not yes and no.
19 ο γαρ του θεου υιοσ ιησουσ χριστοσ ο εν υμιν δι ημων κηρυχθεισ δι εμου και σιλουανου και τιμοθεου ουκ εγενετο ναι και ου αλλα ναι εν αυτω γεγονεν
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, even by me and Sylvanus, and Timothy, was not yes and no; but in him was yes.
20 οσαι γαρ επαγγελιαι θεου εν αυτω το ναι και εν αυτω το αμην τω θεω προσ δοξαν δι ημων
And whatever promises are of God, were through him yes, and through him amen, to the glory of God, by us.
21 ο δε βεβαιων ημασ συν υμιν εισ χριστον και χρισασ ημασ θεοσ
Now, he who establishes us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, in God:
22 ο και σφραγισαμενοσ ημασ και δουσ τον αρραβωνα του πνευματοσ εν ταισ καρδιαισ ημων
who has also sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 εγω δε μαρτυρα τον θεον επικαλουμαι επι την εμην ψυχην οτι φειδομενοσ υμων ουκετι ηλθον εισ κορινθον
Moreover, I call on God as a witness against my soul, that to spare you, I have not as yet come to Corinth.
24 ουχ οτι κυριευομεν υμων τησ πιστεωσ αλλα συνεργοι εσμεν τησ χαρασ υμων τη γαρ πιστει εστηκατε
Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are joint promoters of your joy: for by the faith you stand.
