GNT

1 παῦλος ἀπόστολος χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ διὰ θελήματος θεοῦ, καὶ τιμόθεος ὁ ἀδελφός, τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ τῇ οὔσῃ ἐν κορίνθῳ, σὺν τοῖς ἁγίοις πᾶσιν τοῖς οὗσιν ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ἀχαΐᾳ·

2 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

3 εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, ὁ πατὴρ τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν καὶ θεὸς πάσης παρακλήσεως,

4 ὁ παρακαλῶν ἡμᾶς ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ θλίψει ἡμῶν, εἰς τὸ δύνασθαι ἡμᾶς παρακαλεῖν τοὺς ἐν πάσῃ θλίψει διὰ τῆς παρακλήσεως ἧς παρακαλούμεθα αὐτοὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ·

5 ὅτι καθὼς περισσεύει τὰ παθήματα τοῦ χριστοῦ εἰς ἡμᾶς, οὕτως διὰ τοῦ χριστοῦ περισσεύει καὶ ἡ παράκλησις ἡμῶν.

6 εἴτε δὲ θλιβόμεθα, ὑπὲρ τῆς ὑμῶν παρακλήσεως καὶ σωτηρίας· εἴτε παρακαλούμεθα, ὑπὲρ τῆς ὑμῶν παρακλήσεως τῆς ἐνεργουμένης ἐν ὑπομονῇ τῶν αὐτῶν παθημάτων ὧν καὶ ἡμεῖς πάσχομεν.

7 καὶ ἡ ἐλπὶς ἡμῶν βεβαία ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, εἰδότες ὅτι ὡς κοινωνοί ἐστε τῶν παθημάτων, οὕτως καὶ τῆς παρακλήσεως.

8 οὐ γὰρ θέλομεν ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν, ἀδελφοί, ὑπὲρ τῆς θλίψεως ἡμῶν τῆς γενομένης ἐν τῇ ἀσίᾳ, ὅτι καθ᾽ ὑπερβολὴν ὑπὲρ δύναμιν ἐβαρήθημεν, ὥστε ἐξαπορηθῆναι ἡμᾶς καὶ τοῦ ζῆν·

9 ἀλλὰ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς τὸ ἀπόκριμα τοῦ θανάτου ἐσχήκαμεν, ἵνα μὴ πεποιθότες ὦμεν ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς ἀλλ᾽ ἐπὶ τῶ θεῶ τῶ ἐγείροντι τοὺς νεκρούς·

10 ὃς ἐκ τηλικούτου θανάτου ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς καὶ ῥύσεται, εἰς ὃν ἠλπίκαμεν [ὅτι] καὶ ἔτι ῥύσεται,

11 συνυπουργούντων καὶ ὑμῶν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τῇ δεήσει, ἵνα ἐκ πολλῶν προσώπων τὸ εἰς ἡμᾶς χάρισμα διὰ πολλῶν εὐχαριστηθῇ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν.

12 ἡ γὰρ καύχησις ἡμῶν αὕτη ἐστίν, τὸ μαρτύριον τῆς συνειδήσεως ἡμῶν, ὅτι ἐν ἁπλότητι καὶ εἰλικρινείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ, [καὶ] οὐκ ἐν σοφίᾳ σαρκικῇ ἀλλ᾽ ἐν χάριτι θεοῦ, ἀνεστράφημεν ἐν τῶ κόσμῳ, περισσοτέρως δὲ πρὸς ὑμᾶς.

13 οὐ γὰρ ἄλλα γράφομεν ὑμῖν ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἃ ἀναγινώσκετε ἢ καὶ ἐπιγινώσκετε, ἐλπίζω δὲ ὅτι ἕως τέλους ἐπιγνώσεσθε,

14 καθὼς καὶ ἐπέγνωτε ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ μέρους, ὅτι καύχημα ὑμῶν ἐσμεν καθάπερ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ κυρίου [ἡμῶν] ἰησοῦ.

15 καὶ ταύτῃ τῇ πεποιθήσει ἐβουλόμην πρότερον πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλθεῖν, ἵνα δευτέραν χάριν σχῆτε,

16 καὶ δι᾽ ὑμῶν διελθεῖν εἰς μακεδονίαν, καὶ πάλιν ἀπὸ μακεδονίας ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ὑφ᾽ ὑμῶν προπεμφθῆναι εἰς τὴν ἰουδαίαν.

17 τοῦτο οὗν βουλόμενος μήτι ἄρα τῇ ἐλαφρίᾳ ἐχρησάμην; ἢ ἃ βουλεύομαι κατὰ σάρκα βουλεύομαι, ἵνα ᾖ παρ᾽ ἐμοὶ τὸ ναὶ ναὶ καὶ τὸ οὒ οὔ;

18 πιστὸς δὲ ὁ θεὸς ὅτι ὁ λόγος ἡμῶν ὁ πρὸς ὑμᾶς οὐκ ἔστιν ναὶ καὶ οὔ.

19 ὁ τοῦ θεοῦ γὰρ υἱὸς ἰησοῦς χριστὸς ὁ ἐν ὑμῖν δι᾽ ἡμῶν κηρυχθείς, δι᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ σιλουανοῦ καὶ τιμοθέου, οὐκ ἐγένετο ναὶ καὶ οὔ, ἀλλὰ ναὶ ἐν αὐτῶ γέγονεν.

20 ὅσαι γὰρ ἐπαγγελίαι θεοῦ, ἐν αὐτῶ τὸ ναί· διὸ καὶ δι᾽ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἀμὴν τῶ θεῶ πρὸς δόξαν δι᾽ ἡμῶν.

21 ὁ δὲ βεβαιῶν ἡμᾶς σὺν ὑμῖν εἰς χριστὸν καὶ χρίσας ἡμᾶς θεός,

22 ὁ καὶ σφραγισάμενος ἡμᾶς καὶ δοὺς τὸν ἀρραβῶνα τοῦ πνεύματος ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν.

23 ἐγὼ δὲ μάρτυρα τὸν θεὸν ἐπικαλοῦμαι ἐπὶ τὴν ἐμὴν ψυχήν, ὅτι φειδόμενος ὑμῶν οὐκέτι ἦλθον εἰς κόρινθον.

24 οὐχ ὅτι κυριεύομεν ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως, ἀλλὰ συνεργοί ἐσμεν τῆς χαρᾶς ὑμῶν, τῇ γὰρ πίστει ἑστήκατε.

1  Paul,³⁹⁷² an apostle⁶⁵² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ by¹²²³ the will²³⁰⁷ of God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² Timothy⁵⁰⁹⁵ our brother,⁸⁰ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ of God²³¹⁶ which is⁵⁶⁰⁷ at¹⁷²² Corinth,²⁸⁸² with⁴⁸⁶² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ saints⁴⁰ which are⁵⁶⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² all³⁶⁵⁰ Achaia:⁸⁸²

2  Grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ be to you⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² peace¹⁵¹⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ God²³¹⁶ our²²⁵⁷ Father,³⁹⁶² and²⁵³² from the Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

3  Blessed²¹²⁸ be God,²³¹⁶ even²⁵³² the Father³⁹⁶² of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Father³⁹⁶² of mercies,³⁶²⁸ and²⁵³² the God²³¹⁶ of all³⁹⁵⁶ comfort;³⁸⁷⁴

4  Who³⁵⁸⁸ comforteth³⁸⁷⁰ us²²⁴⁸ in¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ our²²⁵⁷ tribulation,²³⁴⁷ that we²²⁴⁸ may be able¹⁴¹⁰ to comfort³⁸⁷⁰ them³⁵⁸⁸ which are in¹⁷²² any³⁹⁵⁶ trouble,²³⁴⁷ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ comfort³⁸⁷⁴ wherewith³⁷³⁹ we⁸⁴⁸ ourselves are comforted³⁸⁷⁰ of⁵²⁵⁹ God.²³¹⁶

5  For³⁷⁵⁴ as²⁵³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sufferings³⁸⁰⁴ of Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ abound⁴⁰⁵² in¹⁵¹⁹ us,²²⁴⁸ so³⁷⁷⁹ our²²⁵⁷ consolation³⁸⁷⁴ also²⁵³² aboundeth⁴⁰⁵² by¹²²³ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

6  And¹¹⁶¹ whether¹⁵³⁵ we be afflicted,²³⁴⁶ it is for⁵²²⁸ your⁵²¹⁶ consolation³⁸⁷⁴ and²⁵³² salvation,⁴⁹⁹¹ which is effectual¹⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² the enduring⁵²⁸¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ sufferings³⁸⁰⁴ which³⁷³⁹ we²²⁴⁹ also²⁵³² suffer:³⁹⁵⁸ or whether¹⁵³⁵ we be comforted,³⁸⁷⁰ it is for⁵²²⁸ your⁵²¹⁶ consolation³⁸⁷⁴ and²⁵³² salvation.⁴⁹⁹¹

7  And²⁵³² our²²⁵⁷ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ of⁵²²⁸ you⁵²¹⁶ is steadfast,⁹⁴⁹ knowing,¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ as⁵⁶¹⁸ ye are²⁰⁷⁵ partakers²⁸⁴⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ sufferings,³⁸⁰⁴ so³⁷⁷⁹ shall ye be also²⁵³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ consolation.³⁸⁷⁴

8  For¹⁰⁶³ we would²³⁰⁹ not,³⁷⁵⁶ brethren,⁸⁰ have you ignorant^{50 5209} of⁵²²⁸ our²²⁵⁷ trouble²³⁴⁷ which came¹⁰⁹⁶ to us²²⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² Asia,⁷⁷³ that³⁷⁵⁴ we were pressed⁹¹⁶ out of measure,^{2596 5236} above⁵²²⁸ strength,¹⁴¹¹ insomuch that⁵⁶²⁰ we²²⁴⁸ despaired¹⁸²⁰ even²⁵³² of life:²¹⁹⁸

9  But²³⁵ we⁸⁴⁸ had²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ sentence⁶¹⁰ of death²²⁸⁸ in¹⁷²² ourselves,¹⁴³⁸ that²⁴⁴³ we should⁵⁶⁰⁰ not³³⁶¹ trust³⁹⁸² in¹⁹⁰⁹ ourselves,¹⁴³⁸ but²³⁵ in¹⁹⁰⁹ God²³¹⁶ which raiseth¹⁴⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ dead:³⁴⁹⁸

10  Who³⁷³⁹ delivered⁴⁵⁰⁶ us²²⁴⁸ from¹⁵³⁷ so great⁵⁰⁸² a death,²²⁸⁸ and²⁵³² doth deliver:⁴⁵⁰⁶ in¹⁵¹⁹ whom³⁷³⁹ we trust¹⁶⁷⁹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he will²⁵³² yet²⁰⁸⁹ deliver⁴⁵⁰⁶ us;

11  Ye⁵²¹⁶ also²⁵³² helping together⁴⁹⁴³ by prayer¹¹⁶² for⁵²²⁸ us,²²⁵⁷ that²⁴⁴³ for the gift⁵⁴⁸⁶ bestowed upon¹⁵¹⁹ us²²⁴⁸ by the means of¹⁵³⁷ many⁴¹⁸³ persons⁴³⁸³ thanks may be given²¹⁶⁸ by¹²²³ many⁴¹⁸³ on our behalf.^{5228 2257}

12  For¹⁰⁶³ our²²⁵⁷ rejoicing²⁷⁴⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ this,³⁷⁷⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ testimony³¹⁴² of our²²⁵⁷ conscience,⁴⁸⁹³ that³⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² simplicity⁵⁷² and²⁵³² godly²³¹⁶ sincerity,¹⁵⁰⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ with¹⁷²² fleshly⁴⁵⁵⁹ wisdom,⁴⁶⁷⁸ but²³⁵ by¹⁷²² the grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God,²³¹⁶ we have had our conversation³⁹⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ world,²⁸⁸⁹ and¹¹⁶¹ more abundantly⁴⁰⁵⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ you-ward.⁵²⁰⁹

13  For¹⁰⁶³ we write¹¹²⁵ none³⁷⁵⁶ other things²⁴³ unto you,⁵²¹³ than^{235 2228} what³⁷³⁹ ye read³¹⁴ or^{2228 2532} acknowledge;¹⁹²¹ and¹¹⁶¹ I trust¹⁶⁷⁹ ye shall³⁷⁵⁴ acknowledge¹⁹²¹ even²⁵³² to²¹⁹³ the end;⁵⁰⁵⁶

14  As²⁵³¹ also²⁵³² ye have acknowledged¹⁹²¹ us²²⁴⁸ in⁵⁷⁵ part,³³¹³ that³⁷⁵⁴ we are²⁰⁷⁰ your⁵²¹⁶ rejoicing,²⁷⁴⁵ even as²⁵⁰⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ also²⁵³² are ours²²⁵⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ day²²⁵⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus.²⁴²⁴

15  And²⁵³² in this⁵⁰²⁶ confidence⁴⁰⁰⁶ I was minded¹⁰¹⁴ to come²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ before,⁴³⁸⁶ that²⁴⁴³ ye might have²¹⁹² a second¹²⁰⁸ benefit;⁵⁴⁸⁵

16  And²⁵³² to pass¹³³⁰ by¹²²³ you⁵²¹⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ and²⁵³² to come²⁰⁶⁴ again³⁸²⁵ out of⁵⁷⁵ Macedonia³¹⁰⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ you,⁵²⁰⁹ and²⁵³² of⁵²⁵⁹ you⁵²¹⁶ to be brought on my way⁴³¹¹ toward¹⁵¹⁹ Judea.²⁴⁴⁹

17  When I therefore³⁷⁶⁷ was thus minded,^{1011 5124} did I^{3385 686} use⁵⁵³⁰ lightness?¹⁶⁴⁴ or²²²⁸ the things that³⁷³⁹ I purpose,¹⁰¹¹ do I purpose¹⁰¹¹ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ that²⁴⁴³ with³⁸⁴⁴ me¹⁶⁹⁸ there should be⁵⁶⁰⁰ yea³⁴⁸³ yea,³⁴⁸³ and²⁵³² nay³⁷⁵⁶ nay?³⁷⁵⁶

18  But¹¹⁶¹ as God²³¹⁶ is true,^{4103 3754} our²²⁵⁷ word³⁰⁵⁶ toward⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ was¹⁰⁹⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ yea and nay.^{3483 2532 3756}

19  For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of God,²³¹⁶ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ who was preached²⁷⁸⁴ among¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ by¹²²³ us,²²⁵⁷ even by¹²²³ me¹⁷⁰⁰ and²⁵³² Silvanus⁴⁶¹⁰ and²⁵³² Timothy,⁵⁰⁹⁵ was¹⁰⁹⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ yea and nay,^{3483 2532 3756} but²³⁵ in¹⁷²² him⁸⁴⁶ was¹⁰⁹⁶ yea.³⁴⁸³

20  For¹⁰⁶³ all³⁷⁴⁵ the promises¹⁸⁶⁰ of God²³¹⁶ in¹⁷²² him⁸⁴⁶ are³⁵⁸⁸ yea,³⁴⁸³ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² him^{846 3588} Amen,²⁸¹ unto⁴³¹⁴ the glory¹³⁹¹ of God²³¹⁶ by¹²²³ us.²²⁵⁷

21  Now¹¹⁶¹ he which establisheth⁹⁵⁰ us²²⁴⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² you⁵²¹³ in¹⁵¹⁹ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² hath anointed⁵⁵⁴⁸ us,²²⁴⁸ is God;²³¹⁶

22  Who hath also sealed^{4972 2532} us,²²⁴⁸ and²⁵³² given¹³²⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ earnest⁷²⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ in¹⁷²² our²²⁵⁷ hearts.²⁵⁸⁸

23  Moreover¹¹⁶¹ I¹⁴⁷³ call¹⁹⁴¹ God²³¹⁶ for a record³¹⁴⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ my¹⁶⁹⁹ soul,⁵⁵⁹⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ to spare⁵³³⁹ you⁵²¹⁶ I came²⁰⁶⁴ not as yet³⁷⁶⁵ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Corinth.²⁸⁸²

24  Not³⁷⁵⁶ for that³⁷⁵⁴ we have dominion over²⁹⁶¹ your⁵²¹⁶ faith,⁴¹⁰² but²³⁵ are²⁰⁷⁰ helpers⁴⁹⁰⁴ of your⁵²¹⁶ joy:⁵⁴⁷⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ by faith⁴¹⁰² ye stand.²⁴⁷⁶

Vul

1 Paulus, Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Timotheus frater, ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi cum omnibus sanctis, qui sunt in universa Achaia.

2 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum, et Deus totius consolationis,

4 qui consolatur nos in omni tribulatione nostra: ut possimus et ipsi consolari eos qui in omni pressura sunt, per exhortationem, qua exhortamur et ipsi a Deo.

5 Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra.

6 Sive autem tribulamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, sive consolamur pro vestra consolatione, sive exhortamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, quæ operatur tolerantiam earumdem passionum, quas et nos patimur:

7 ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis.

8 Non enim volumus ignorare vos, fratres, de tribulatione nostra, quæ facta est in Asia, quoniam supra modum gravati sumus supra virtutem, ita ut tæderet nos etiam vivere.

9 Sed ipsi in nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes in mortuos, sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:

10 qui de tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit: in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet,

11 adjuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis: ut ex multorum personis, ejus quæ in nobis est donationis, per multos gratiæ agantur pro nobis.

12 Nam gloria nostra hæc est: testimonium conscientiæ nostræ, quod in simplicitate cordis et sinceritate Dei, et non in sapientia carnali, sed in gratia Dei, conversati sumus in hoc mundo: abundantius autem ad vos.

13 Non enim alia scribimus vobis, quam quæ legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,

14 sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quod gloria vestra sumus, sicut et vos nostra, in die Domini nostri Jesu Christi.

15 Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundum gratiam haberetis:

16 et per vos transire in Macedoniam, et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos, et a vobis deduci in Judæam.

17 Cum ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum? aut quæ cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me Est et Non?

18 Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fuit apud vos, non est in illo Est et Non.

19 Dei enim Filius Jesus Christus, qui in vobis per nos prædicatus est, per me, et Silvanum, et Timotheum, non fuit Est et Non, sed Est in illo fuit.

20 Quotquot enim promissiones Dei sunt, in illo Est: ideo et per ipsum Amen Deo ad gloriam nostram.

21 Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus:

22 qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris.

23 Ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam, quod parcens vobis, non veni ultra Corinthum:

24 non quia dominamur fidei vestæ, sed adjutores sumus gaudii vestri: nam fide statis.
