Seconda lettera ai Corinzi - 2 Corinthians 1

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Παυλος, αποστολος Ιησου Χριστου δια θεληματος Θεου, και Τιμοθεος ο αδελφος, προς την εκκλησιαν του Θεου την ουσαν εν Κορινθω μετα παντων των αγιων των οντων εν ολη τη Αχαια?	1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother: to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia:
2 χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.	2 Grace unto you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Ευλογητος ο Θεος και Πατηρ του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου, ο Πατηρ των οικτιρμων και Θεος πασης παρηγοριας,	3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.
4 ο παρηγορων ημας εν παση τη θλιψει ημων, δια να δυναμεθα ημεις να παρηγορωμεν τους εν παση θλιψει δια της παρηγοριας, με την οποιαν παρηγορουμεθα ημεις αυτοι υπο του Θεου?	4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation; that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God.
5 διοτι καθως περισσευουσι τα παθηματα του Χριστου εις ημας, ουτω δια του Χριστου περισσευει και η παρηγορια ημων.	5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us: so also by Christ doth our comfort abound.
6 Και ειτε θλιβομεθα, θλιβομεθα υπερ της παρηγοριας σας και σωτηριας της ενεργουμενης δια της υπομονης των αυτων παθηματων, τα οποια και ημεις πασχομεν? ειτε παρηγορουμεθα, παρηγορουμεθα υπερ της παρηγοριας σας και σωτηριας? και η ελπις, την οποιαν εχομεν, ειναι βεβαια υπερ υμων?	6 Now whether we be in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation: or whether we be exhorted, it is for your exhortation and salvation, which worketh the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7 επειδη εξευρομεν οτι καθως εισθε κοινωνοι των παθηματων, ουτω και της παρηγοριας.	7 That our hope for you may be steadfast: knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation.
8 Διοτι δεν θελομεν να αγνοητε, αδελφοι, περι της θλιψεως ημων, ητις συνεβη εις ημας εν τη Ασια, οτι καθ' υπερβολην εστενοχωρηθημεν υπερ δυναμιν, ωστε απηλπισθημεν και του ζην?	8 For we would not have you ignorant,brethren, of our tribulation, which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure above our strength, so that we were weary even of life.
9 αλλ' ημεις αυτοι εν εαυτοις, ελαβομεν την αποφασιν του θανατου, δια να μη εχωμεν την πεποιθησιν εις εαυτους, αλλ' εις τον Θεον τον εγειροντα τους νεκρους?	9 But we had in ourselves the answer of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead.
10 οστις ηλευθερωσεν ημας εκ τοσουτου μεγαλου θανατου και ελευθερονει, εις τον οποιον ελπιζομεν οτι και οτι θελει ελευθερωσει,	10 Who hath delivered and doth deliver us out of so great dangers: in whom we trust that he will yet also deliver us.
11 ενω και σεις συνεργειτε υπερ ημων δια της δεησεως, δια να γεινη εκ πολλων προσωπων ευχαριστια υπερ ημων δια το δοθεν εις ημας χαρισμα δια πολλων.	11 You helping withal in prayer for us: that for this gift obtained for us, by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many in our behalf.
12 Διοτι το καυχημα ημων ειναι τουτο, η μαρτυρια της συνειδησεως ημων, οτι εν απλοτητι και ειλικρινεια Θεου, ουχι εν σοφια σαρκικη, αλλ' εν χαριτι Θεου επολιτευθημεν εν τω κοσμω, περισσοτερον δε προς εσας.	12 For our glory is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity of heart and sincerity of God, and not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conversed in this world: and more abundantly towards you.
13 Διοτι δεν σας γραφομεν αλλο, παρ' εκεινα τα οποια αναγινωσκετε η και γνωριζετε, ελπιζω δε οτι και εως τελους θελετε γνωρισει.	13 For we write no other things to you than what you have read and known. And I hope that you shall know unto the end:
14 Καθως και μας εγνωρισατε κατα μερος, οτι ειμεθα καυχημα εις εσας, καθως σεις εις ημας, εν τη ημερα του Κυριου Ιησου.	14 As also you have known us in part, that we are your glory, as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Και με ταυτην την πεποιθησιν ηθελον να ελθω προς εσας προτερον, δια να εχητε δευτεραν χαριν,	15 And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace:
16 και δι' υμων να διαβω εις Μακεδονιαν, και παλιν απο Μακεδονιας να ελθω προς εσας και απο σας να προπεμφθω εις την Ιουδαιαν.	16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be brought on my way towards Judea.
17 Τουτο λοιπον βουλευομενος μηπως ταχα μετεχειρισθην ελαφροτητα; η οσα βουλευομαι, κατα σαρκα βουλευομαι, δια να ηναι εις εμε το ναι ναι, και το ου ου;	17 Whereas then I was thus minded, did I use lightness? Or, the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that there should be with me, It is, and It is not?
18 Αλλ' ομως πιστος ο Θεος οτι ο λογος ημων ο λαληθεις προς εσας δεν εγεινε ναι και ου.	18 But God is faithful, for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not.
19 Διοτι ο Υιος του Θεου Ιησους Χριστος ο κηρυχθεις μεταξυ σας δι' ημων, δι' εμου και του Σιλουανου και του Τιμοθεου, δεν εγεινε ναι και ου, αλλα ναι εγεινεν εν αυτω.	19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was preached among you by us, by me, and Sylvanus, and Timothy, was not, It is and It is not, but, It is, was in him.
20 Διοτι πασαι αι επαγγελιαι του Θεου ειναι εν αυτω, το ναι και εν αυτω το αμην, προς δοξαν του Θεου δι ' ημων.	20 For all the promises of God are in him, It is; therefore also by him, amen to God, unto our glory.
21 Ο δε βεβαιων ημας μεθ' υμων εις Χριστον και ο χρισας ημας ειναι ο Θεος,	21 Now he that confirmeth us with you in Christ, and that hath anointed us, is God:
22 οστις και εσφραγισεν ημας και εδωκε τον αρραβωνα του Πνευματος εν ταις καρδιαις ημων.	22 Who also hath sealed us, and given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Εγω δε μαρτυρα τον Θεον επικαλουμαι εις την ψυχην μου, οτι φειδομενος υμων δεν ηλθον ετι εις Κορινθον.	23 But I call God to witness upon my soul, that to spare you, I came not any more to Corinth: not because we exercise dominion over your faith: but we are helpers of your joy: for in faith you stand.
24 Ουχι διοτι εχομεν εξουσιαν επι της πιστεως σας, αλλ' ειμεθα συνεργοι της χαρας σας? επειδη εν τη πιστει στεκεσθε.
