STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 פּוֹלוֹס שְׁלִיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בִּרְצוֹן אֱלֹהִים וְטִימוֹתִיּוֹס אָחִינוּ אֶל־קְהִלַּת אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר בְּקוֹרִנְתּוֹס עִם כָּל־הַקְּדשִׁים אֲשֶׁר בַּאֲכַיָּא	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 חֶסֶד לָכֶם וְשָׁלוֹם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים אָבִינוּ וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	2 Grace unto you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 בָּרוּךְ הָאֱלֹהִים וַאֲבִי אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אַב הָרַחֲמִים וֵאלֹהֵי כָּל־הַנֶּחָמָה	3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.
4 הַמְנַחֵם אֹתָנוּ בְּכָל־לַחֲצֵנוּ עַד־שֶׁנּוּכַל לְנַחֵם הַנִּלְחָצִים בְּכָל־לַחַץ בַּנֶּחָמָה אֲשֶׁר אֲנַחְנוּ מְנֻחָמִים בָּהּ מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים	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 כִּי כְּרֹב עִנּוּיֵי הַמָּשִׁיחַ בָּנוּ כֵּן תִּרְבֶּה נֶחָמָתֵנוּ עַל־יְדֵי הַמָּשִׁיחַ	5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us: so also by Christ doth our comfort abound.
6 וְהִנֵּה אִם־נִלָּחֵץ הוּא לְנֶחָמַתְכֶם וְלִישׁוּעַתְכֶם אֲשֶׁר יֵרָאֶה כֹחָהּ בְּסָבְלְכֶם הָעִנּוּיִם אֲשֶׁר נִסְבֹּל אֹתָן גַּם־אֲנַחְנוּ וְאִם־נְנֻחַם גַּם־הוּא לְנֶחָמַתְכֶם וְלִישׁוּעַתְכֶם	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 וְתִקְוָתֵנוּ בַעַדְכֶם נְכוֹנָה הִיא בַּאֲשֶׁר יָדַעְנוּ כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר חֵלֶק לָכֶם בָּעִנּוּיִם כֵּן גַּם־חֵלֶק לָכֶם בַּנֶּחָמָה	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 כִּי לֹא־נְכַחֵד מִכֶּם אַחַי אֶת־צָרָתֵנוּ אֲשֶׁר מְצָאַתְנוּ בְּאַסְיָא אֲשֶׁר כָּבְדָה עָלֵינוּ עַד־לִמְאֹד וְיוֹתֵר מִכֹּחֵנוּ עַד כִּי־נוֹאַשְׁנוּ מִן־הַחַיִּים	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 וַאֲנַחְנוּ בִלְבָבֵנוּ חָרַצְנוּ לָנוּ אֶת־הַמָּוֶת לְמַעַן לֹא־נִהְיֶה בֹטְחִים בְּנַפְשֵׁנוּ כִּי אִם־בֵּאלֹהִים הַמְחַיֶּה אֶת־הַמֵּתִים	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 אֲשֶׁר הִצִּילָנוּ מִמָּוֶת כָּזֶה וְעוֹדֶנּוּ מַצִּיל וְלוֹ אֲנַחְנוּ מְקַוִּים כִּי יוֹסִיף לְהַצִּילֵנוּ	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 בַּעֲזָרְכֶם אֹתָנוּ בִּתְפִלַּתְכֶם לְמַעַן יוֹדוּ רַבִּים בַּעֲדֵנוּ עַל־מַתְּנַת הַחֶסֶד שֶׁהָיְתָה לָּנוּ עַל־יְדֵי רַבִּים	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 כִּי זֹאת הִיא תְהִלָּתֵנוּ עֵדוּת לְבָבֵנוּ אֲשֶׁר בְּתֹם וְישֶׁר אֱלֹהִים הִתְהַלַּכְנוּ בָעוֹלָם וּבְיוֹתֵר אִתְּכֶם וְלֹא־בְחָכְמַת הַבָּשָׂר כִּי אִם־בְּחֶסֶד אֱלֹהִים	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 כִּי לֹא־נִכְתֹּב לָכֶם כִּי אִם־מַה־שֶּׁאַתֶּם קֹרְאִים אוֹ גַם־יֹדְעִים	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 וַאֲקַוֶּה כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר יְדַעְתֶּם אֹתָנוּ לְמִקְצָת אַף־תֵּדְעוּ עַד־תַּכְלִית כִּי אֲנַחְנוּ תְּהִלַּתְכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־אַתֶּם תְּהִלָּתֵנוּ בְּיוֹם אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ	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 וּבַבִּטָּחוֹן הַזֶּה חָפַצְתִּי לָבוֹא אֲלֵיכֶם מֵרֹאשׁ לְמַעַן תְּקַבְּלוּ טוֹבָה פַּעֲמָיִם	15 And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace:
16 לַעֲבֹר בְּתוֹכְכֶם אֶל־מַקְדּוֹנְיָא וְלָשׁוּב מִמַּקְדּוֹנְיָא אֲלֵיכֶם וְאַתֶּם תְּשַׁלְּחוּנִי אֶל־אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה	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 וְעַתָּה הֲכִי נִמְהָר הָיִיתִי בַּעֲצָתִי אִם־אֲשֶׁר יָעַצְתִּי לְפִי הַבָּשָׂר יָעָצְתִּי וְהָיָה אֶצְלִי פַּעַם הֵן הֵן וּפַעַם לֹא לֹא	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 אָכֵן נֶאֱמָן הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי־דְבָרֵנוּ אֲלֵיכֶם לֹא הָיָה הֵן וָלֹא	18 But God is faithful, for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not.
19 כִּי בֶן־הָאֱלֹהִים יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַנִּקְרָא בְתוֹכְכֶם עַל־יָדֵינוּ עַל־יָדִי וְעַל־יְדֵי סִלְוָנוֹס וְטִימוֹתִיּוֹס הוּא לֹא הָיָה הֵן וָלֹא כִּי־הָיוֹ הָיָה בוֹ רַק־הֵן	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 כִּי כָּל־הַבְטָחוֹת הָאֱלֹהִים כֻּלָּן בּוֹ הָיוּ הֵן וּבוֹ הָיוּ אָמֵן לִכְבוֹד הָאֱלֹהִים עַל־יָדֵינוּ	20 For all the promises of God are in him, It is; therefore also by him, amen to God, unto our glory.
21 וְהַמְכוֹנֵן אוֹתָנוּ אִתְּכֶם בַּמָּשִׁיחַ וַאֲשֶׁר מְשָׁחָנוּ הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים	21 Now he that confirmeth us with you in Christ, and that hath anointed us, is God:
22 אֲשֶׁר גַּם־חֲתָמָנוּ וַאֲשֶׁר נָתַן בְּלִבֵּנוּ אֵת עֶרְבוֹן הָרוּחַ	22 Who also hath sealed us, and given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 וַאֲנִי אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים אֶקְרָא לִהְיוֹת עֵד לְנַפְשִׁי כִּי בַּעֲבוּר הֱיוֹתִי חָס עֲלֵיכֶם לֹא־בָאתִי עוֹד לְקוֹרִנְתּוֹס	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 לֹא שֶׁנִּמְשֹׁל בֶּאֱמוּנַתְכֶם כִּי אִם־עֹזְרִים אֲנַחְנוּ לְשִׂמְחַתְכֶם כִּי בָאֱמוּנָה עֲמַדְתֶּם
