2 Corinthians 1 Pros Korinthioin B 1
1Paulos apostolos ⸂Christou Iēsu⸃ dia thelēmeu theou kai Timotheos tos adelfos ta ekklēsa tou theou ta arōnta en Korintha, sun toi hagioi pantoi toi arōntoi en hola ta Achaia;Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia: 2charitas vi kai eirēnas apo theou patrou nu kai kuriou Iēsu Christou.Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3Eulogētos tos theos kai patros tou kuriou nu Iēsu Christou, tos patros toiu oiktirmoiu kai theos pantau paraklēsiau,Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4tos parakalarōntos nin epi panta ta thlipsia nu, eis tem dunorō nin parakalarō toin en panta thlipsia dia tau paraklēsiau hau parakalonō autois hupo tou theou.who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5hoti kathōs perisseuatō teim pathēmeim tou Christou eis nin, houtōs dia tou Christou perisseuatō kai tas paraklēsias nu.For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6eite de thlibonō, huper tau vu paraklēsiau kai sōtērēau; ⸂eite parakalonō, huper tau vu paraklēsiau⸃ tau energorōntau en hupomona teiu auteiu pathēmeiu heiu kai nis paschanō,If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience. 7kai tas elpidas nu bebaias huper ⸀vu; oidarēntois hoti ⸀hōs koinōnois avō teiu pathēmeiu, houtōs kai tau paraklēsiau.And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort. 8Ouk gar thelanō vin agnoarō, adelfoir, ⸀huper tau thlipsiau nu tau ⸀generantau en ta Asia, hoti kata huperbolan ⸂huper dunamian barina,⸃ hōste exaporira nin kai teu zōarō;We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. 9alla autois en heautoi tem apokrimem tou thanatou echanē, hina mē peitharēntois aneiō epi heautoi alla epi to theo to egerarōnto toin nekroin;Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead. 10hos ek tēlikoutou thanatou rueta nin kai ⸀rueti, eis hon elpizanē hoti kai ēti rueti,He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us, 11sunupourgarōntoiu kai vu huper nu ta deēsia, hina ek polleiu prosōpeiu tem eis nin charismem dia polloiu eucharistiteia huper ⸀nu.as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers. 12Tas gar kauchēsias nu houtas atō, tem marturiem tau suneidēsiau nu, hoti en ⸀hagiota kai eilikrineia ⸀tou theou, ⸀ouk en sofia sarkika alla en charita theou, anastrefina en to kosmo, perissoterōs de pros vin;For this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God — not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God. 13ouk gar alloseim grafanō vi alla ē heim anagnōskavō ē kai epignōskavō, elpizamō de ⸀hoti heōs teleu epignōskevi,For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely, 14kathōs kai epignōskava nin apo mereu, hoti kauchēmem vu anō kathaper kai vis nu en ta hēmera tou kuriou ⸀nu Iēsu.as you have already understood us in part, that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus. 15Kai houta ta pepoithēsia boulome ⸂proterem pros vin erchara,⸃ hina deuteran ⸀charitan ⸀echaveia,Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing. 16kai dia vu dierchara eis Makedonian, kai palin apo Makedoniau erchara pros vin kai hupo vu propempira eis tan Ioudaian.I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea. 17houtem oun ⸀boulorōntos mēti ara ta elafria chrema? ē heim bouleuomō kata sarkan bouleuomō, hina ateiō para mi tem Nai nai kai tem Ou ou?When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” and also “No, no”? 18pistos de tos theos hoti tos logos nu tos pros vin ouk ⸀atō Nai kai Ou.But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.” 19tos ⸂tou theou gar⸃ huios ⸂Iēsus Christos⸃ tos en vi dia nu kērussirantos, dia mu kai Silouanou kai Timotheou, ouk geneta Nai kai Ou, alla Nai en auto genatē;For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.” 20hosais gar epangeliais theou, en auto tem Nai; ⸀dio kai ⸂dia autou⸃ tem Amēn to theo pros doxan dia nu.For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God. 21tos de bebaiarōntos nin sun vi eis Christon kai chriarantos nin theos,Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us, 22tos kai sfragizerantos nin kai dōarantos ton arrabōnon teu pneumeu en tai kardiai nu.placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come. 23Mis de marturon ton theon epikalomō epi tan ēman psuchan, hoti feidorōntos vu ouketi erchama eis Korinthan.I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth. 24ouk hoti kurieuanō vu tau pistiau, alla sunergois anō tau charau vu, ta gar pistia stēavē.Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.
