2 Corinthians 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, with all the holy ones throughout Achaia:	1 Paulus, apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei, et Timo theus fraterecclesiae Dei, quae est Corinthi, cum sanctis omnibus, qui sunt in universaAchaia:
2 grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.	2 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement,	3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum etDeus totius consolationis,
4 who encourages us in our every affliction, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction with the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God.	4 qui consolatur nos in omni tribulatione nostra, utpossimus et ipsi consolari eos, qui in omni pressura sunt, per exhortationem,qua exhortamur et ipsi a Deo;
5 For as Christ's sufferings overflow to us, so through Christ does our encouragement also overflow.	5 quoniam, sicut abundant passiones Christi innobis, ita per Christum abundat et consolatio nostra.
6 If we are afflicted, it is for your encouragement and salvation; if we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement, which enables you to endure the same sufferings that we suffer.	6 Sive autem tribulamur,pro vestra exhortatione et salute; sive exhortamur, pro vestra exhortatione,quae operatur in tolerantia earundem passionum, quas et nos patimur.
7 Our hope for you is firm, for we know that as you share in the sufferings, you also share in the encouragement.	7 Et spesnostra firma pro vobis, scientes quoniam, sicut socii passionum estis, siceritis et consolationis.
8 We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction that came to us in the province of Asia; we were utterly weighed down beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.	8 Non enim volumus ignorare vos, fratres, de tribulatione nostra, quae facta estin Asia, quoniam supra modum gravati sumus supra virtutem, ita ut taederet nosetiam vivere;
9 Indeed, we had accepted within ourselves the sentence of death, that we might trust not in ourselves but in God who raises the dead.	9 sed ipsi in nobis ipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simusfidentes in nobis sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:
10 He rescued us from such great danger of death, and he will continue to rescue us; in him we have put our hope (that) he will also rescue us again,	10 qui de tanta morteeripuit nos et eruet, in quem speramus, et adhuc eripiet;
11 as you help us with prayer, so that thanks may be given by many on our behalf for the gift granted us through the prayers of many.	11 adiuvantibus etvobis in oratione pro nobis, ut propter eam, quae ex multis personis in nos est,donationem, per multos gratiae agantur pro nobis.
12 For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, with the simplicity and sincerity of God, (and) not by human wisdom but by the grace of God.	12 Nam gloria nostra haec est, testimonium conscientiae nostrae, quod insimplicitate et sinceritate Dei et non in sapientia carnali, sed in gratia Deiconversati sumus in mundo, abundantius autem ad vos.
13 For we write you nothing but what you can read and understand, and I hope that you will understand completely,	13 Non enim alia scribimusvobis quam quae legitis aut etiam cognoscitis; spero autem quod usque in finemcognoscetis,
14 as you have come to understand us partially, that we are your boast as you also are ours, on the day of (our) Lord Jesus.	14 sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quia gloria vestra sumus,sicut et vos nostra in die Domini nostri Iesu.
15 With this confidence I formerly intended to come to you so that you might receive a double favor,	15 Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundam gratiam haberetis,
16 namely, to go by way of you to Macedonia, and then to come to you again on my return from Macedonia, and have you send me on my way to Judea.	16 et per vos transire in Macedoniam et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos et avobis deduci in Iudaeam.
17 So when I intended this, did I act lightly? Or do I make my plans according to human considerations, so that with me it is "yes, yes" and "no, no"?	17 Cum hoc ergo voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum?Aut, quae cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me “ Est, est ” et “Non, non ”?
18 As God is faithful, our word to you is not "yes" and "no."	18 Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fit apud vos, nonest “ Est ” et “ Non ”!
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not "yes" and "no," but "yes" has been in him.	19 Dei enim Filius Iesus Christus, qui in vobisper nos praedicatus est, per me et Silvanum et Timotheum, non fuit “ Est ”et “ Non ”, sed “ Est ” in illo fuit.
20 For however many are the promises of God, their Yes is in him; therefore, the Amen from us also goes through him to God for glory.	20 Quotquot enim promissiones Deisunt, in illo “ Est ”; ideo et per ipsum “ Amen ” Deo ad gloriam pernos.
21 But the one who gives us security with you in Christ and who anointed us is God;	21 Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christum et qui unxit nos, Deus,
22 he has also put his seal upon us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a first installment.	22 et qui signavit nos et dedit arrabonem Spiritus in cordibus nostris.
23 But I call upon God as witness, on my life, that it is to spare you that I have not yet gone to Corinth.	23 Ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam, quod parcens vobis non veniultra Corinthum.
24 Not that we lord it over your faith; rather, we work together for your joy, for you stand firm in the faith.	24 Non quia dominamur fidei vestrae, sed adiutores sumus gaudiivestri, nam fide stetistis.
