1 Paulus, apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei, et Timo theus fraterecclesiae Dei, quae est Corinthi, cum sanctis omnibus, qui sunt in universaAchaia:	1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy, a brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all of Achaia:
2 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo.	2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum etDeus totius consolationis,	3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation.
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;	4 He consoles us in all our tribulation, so that we too may be able to console those who are in any kind of distress, through the exhortation by which we also are being exhorted by God.
5 quoniam, sicut abundant passiones Christi innobis, ita per Christum abundat et consolatio nostra.	5 For just as the Passion of Christ abounds in us, so also, through Christ, does our consolation abound.
6 Sive autem tribulamur,pro vestra exhortatione et salute; sive exhortamur, pro vestra exhortatione,quae operatur in tolerantia earundem passionum, quas et nos patimur.	6 So, if we are in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation, or if we are in consolation, it is for your consolation, or if we are exhorted, it is for your exhortation and salvation, which results in the patience endurance of the same passion which we also endure.
7 Et spesnostra firma pro vobis, scientes quoniam, sicut socii passionum estis, siceritis et consolationis.	7 So may our hope for you be made firm, knowing that, just as you are participants in the suffering, so also shall you be participants in the consolation.
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;	8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about our tribulation, which happened to us in Asia. For we were weighed down beyond measure, beyond our strength, so that we became weary, even of life itself.
9 sed ipsi in nobis ipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simusfidentes in nobis sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:	9 But we had within ourselves the response to death, so that we would not have faith in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.
10 qui de tanta morteeripuit nos et eruet, in quem speramus, et adhuc eripiet;	10 He has rescued us, and he is rescuing us, from great peril. In him, we hope that he will continue to rescue us.
11 adiuvantibus etvobis in oratione pro nobis, ut propter eam, quae ex multis personis in nos est,donationem, per multos gratiae agantur pro nobis.	11 And you are assisting, with your prayers for us, so that from many persons, by that which is a gift in us, thanks may be given through many persons, because of us.
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.	12 For our glory is this: the testimony of our conscience, which is found in simplicity of heart and in sincerity toward God. And it is not with worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God, that we have conversed with this world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 Non enim alia scribimusvobis quam quae legitis aut etiam cognoscitis; spero autem quod usque in finemcognoscetis,	13 For we write nothing else to you other than what you have read and understood. And I hope that you will continue to understand, even unto the end.
14 sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quia gloria vestra sumus,sicut et vos nostra in die Domini nostri Iesu.	14 And just as you have acknowledged us in our role, that we are your glory, so also you are ours, unto the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundam gratiam haberetis,	15 And with this confidence, I wanted to come to you sooner, so that you might have a second grace,
16 et per vos transire in Macedoniam et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos et avobis deduci in Iudaeam.	16 and through you to pass into Macedonia, and to return to you again from Macedonia, and so be led by you on my way to Judea.
17 Cum hoc ergo voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum?Aut, quae cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me “ Est, est ” et “Non, non ”?	17 Then, although I had intended this, did I act lightly? Or in the things that I consider, do I consider according to the flesh, so that there would be, with me, both Yes and No?
18 Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fit apud vos, nonest “ Est ” et “ Non ”!	18 But God is faithful, so our word, which was set before you, was not, in him, both Yes and No.
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.	19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you through us, through myself and Sylvanus and Timothy, was not Yes, and No; but was simply Yes in him.
20 Quotquot enim promissiones Deisunt, in illo “ Est ”; ideo et per ipsum “ Amen ” Deo ad gloriam pernos.	20 For whatever promises are of God are, in him, Yes. For this reason, too, through him: Amen to God for our glory.
21 Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christum et qui unxit nos, Deus,	21 Now the One who confirms us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, is God.
22 et qui signavit nos et dedit arrabonem Spiritus in cordibus nostris.	22 And he has sealed us, and he has placed the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam, quod parcens vobis non veniultra Corinthum.	23 But I call God as a witness to my soul, that I was lenient with you, in that I did not return to Corinth:
24 Non quia dominamur fidei vestrae, sed adiutores sumus gaudiivestri, nam fide stetistis.	24 not because we have dominion over your faith, but because we are assistants of your joy. For by faith you stand.
