Seconda lettera ai Corinzi - 2 Corinthians 11

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ειθε να υποφερητε ολιγον τι την αφροσυνην μου? αλλα και υποφερετε με.	1 Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly: but do bear with me.
2 Διοτι ειμαι ζηλοτυπος προς εσας κατα ζηλοτυπιαν Θεου? επειδη σας ηρραρωνισα με ενα ανδρα, δια να σας παραστησω παρθενον αγνην εις τον Χριστον.	2 For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 φοβουμαι ομως μηπως, καθως ο οφις εξηπατησε την Ευαν δια της πανουργιας αυτου, διαφθαρη ουτως ο νους σας, εκπεσων απο της απλοτητος της εις τον Χριστον.	3 But I fear lest, as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted, and fall from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 Διοτι εαν ο ερχομενος κηρυττη προς εσας αλλον Ιησουν, τον οποιον ημεις δεν εκηρυξαμεν, η λαμβανητε αλλο πνευμα, το οποιον δεν ελαβετε, η αλλο ευαγγελιον, το οποιον δεν εδεχθητε, καλως ηθελετε υποφερει αυτον.	4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Christ, whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, whom you have not received; or another gospel which you have not received; you might well bear with him.
5 Αλλα στοχαζομαι οτι δεν ειμαι εις ουδεν κατωτερος των πρωτιστων αποστολων.	5 For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles.
6 Εαν δε και ημαι ιδιωτης κατα τον λογον, αλλ' ουχι κατα την γνωσιν, αλλ' εν παντι τροπω εφανερωθημεν κατα παντα εις εσας.	6 For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but in all things we have been made manifest to you.
7 Η επραξα αμαρτιαν ταπεινονων εμαυτον δια να υψωθητε σεις, διοτι σας εκηρυξα δωρεαν το ευαγγελιον του Θεου;	7 Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself, that you might be exalted? Because I preached unto you the gospel of God freely?
8 Αλλας εκκλησιας εγυμνωσα λαβων τα αναγκαια δια την υπηρεσιαν σας,	8 I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry.
9 και οτε ημην παρων εις εσας και εστερηθην, δεν κατεβαρυνα ουδενα? διοτι την στερησιν μου προσανεπληρωσαν οι αδελφοι ελθοντες απο Μακεδονιας? και κατα παντα εφυλαξα εμαυτον και θελω φυλαξει αβαρη προς εσας.	9 And, when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia; and in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you, and so I will keep myself.
10 Ειναι αληθεια του Χριστου εν εμοι οτι η καυχησις αυτη δεν θελει αποκλεισθη εις εμε εν τοις τοποις της Αχαιας.	10 The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia.
11 Δια τι; διοτι δεν σας αγαπω; ο Θεος γινωσκει.	11 Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth it.
12 Ο, τι δε καμνω, τουτο και θελω καμνει, δια να εκκοψω την αφορμην των θελοντων αφορμην, ινα ευρεθωσιν εις εκεινο, δια το οποιον καυχωνται, τοιουτοι καθως και ημεις.	12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off the occasion from them that desire occasion, that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
13 Διοτι οι τοιουτοι ειναι ψευδαποστολοι, εργαται δολιοι, μετασχηματιζομενοι εις αποστολους Χριστου.	13 For such false apostles are deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 Και ουδεν θαυμαστον? διοτι αυτος ο Σατανας μετασχηματιζεται εις αγγελον φωτος.	14 And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light.
15 Δεν ειναι λοιπον μεγα αν και οι διακονοι αυτου μετασχηματιζωνται εις διακονους δικαιοσυνης, των οποιων το τελος θελει εισθαι κατα τα εργα αυτων.	15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers be transformed as the ministers of justice, whose end shall be according to their works.
16 Παλιν λεγω, Μηδεις ας μη με στοχασθη οτι ειμαι αφρων? ει δε μη, δεχθητε με καν ως αφρονα, δια να καυχηθω και εγω ολιγον τι.	16 I say again, (let no man think me to be foolish, otherwise take me as one foolish, that I also may glory a little.)
17 Ο, τι λαλω, εις τουτο το θαρρος της καυχησεως, δεν λαλω κατα τον Κυριον, αλλ' ως αφρων.	17 That which I speak, I speak not according to God, but as it were in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.
18 Επειδη πολλοι καυχωνται κατα την σαρκα, θελω καυχηθη και εγω.	18 Seeing that many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.
19 Διοτι σεις ευχαριστως υποφερετε τους αφρονας, οντες φρονιμοι?	19 For you gladly suffer the foolish; whereas yourselves are wise.
20 επειδη υποφερετε, εαν τις σας καταδουλονη, εαν τις σας κατατρωγη, εαν τις λαμβανη τα υμων, εαν τις επαιρηται, εαν τις σας κτυπα εις το προσωπον.	20 For you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you on the face.
21 Κατα ατιμιαν λεγω, ως να ημεθα ημεις ασθενεις. Αλλ' εις ο, τι τολμα τις, αφρονως ομιλω, τολμω και εγω.	21 I speak according to dishonour, as if we had been weak in this part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also.
22 Εβραιοι ειναι; και εγω? Ισραηλιται ειναι; και εγω? σπερμα Αβρααμ ειναι; και εγω?	22 They are Hebrews: so am I. They are Israelites: so am I. They are the seed of Abraham: so am I.
23 υπηρεται του Χριστου ειναι; παραφρονων λαλω, πλειοτερον εγω? εις κοπους περισσοτερον, εις πληγας καθ' υπερβολην, εις φυλακας περισσοτερον, εις θανατους πολλακις.	23 They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise): I am more; in many more labours, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.
24 υπο των Ιουδαιων πεντακις ελαβον πληγας τεσσαρακοντα παρα μιαν,	24 Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes, save one.
25 τρις ερραβδισθην, απαξ ελιθοβοληθην, τρις εναυαγησα, εν ημερονυκτιον εν τω βυθω εκαμον.	25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea.
26 εις οδοιποριας πολλακις, εις κινδυνους ποταμων, κινδυνους ληστων, κινδυνους εκ του γενους, κινδυνους εξ εθνων, κινδυνους εν πολει, κινδυνους εν ερημια, κινδυνους εν θαλασση, κινδυνους εν ψευδαδελφοις.	26 In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren.
27 εν κοπω και μοχθω, εν αγρυπνιαις πολλακις, εν πεινη και διψη, εν νηστειαις πολλακις, εν ψυχει και γυμνοτητι?	27 In labour and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28 εκτος των εξωτερικων ο καθ' ημεραν επικειμενος εις εμε αγων, η μεριμνα πασων των εκκλησιων.	28 Besides those things which are without: my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches.
29 Τις ασθενει, και δεν ασθενω; τις σκανδαλιζεται, και εγω δεν φλεγομαι;	29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire?
30 Εαν πρεπη να καυχωμαι, θελω καυχηθη εις τα της ασθενειας μου.	30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity.
31 Ο Θεος και Πατηρ του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου, ο ων ευλογητος εις τους αιωνας, γνωριζει οτι δεν ψευδομαι.	31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not.
32 Εν Δαμασκω ο εθναρχης του βασιλεως Αρετα εφρουρει την πολιν των Δαμασκηνων, θελων να με πιαση,	32 At Damascus, the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to apprehend me.
33 και δια θυριδος απο του τειχους κατεβιβασθην εν κοφινω και εξεφυγον τας χειρας αυτου.	33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and so escaped his hands.
