Seconda lettera ai Corinzi 7

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Has igitur habentes promissio nes, carissimi, mundemus nos ab omniinquinamento carnis et spiritus, perficientes sanctificationem in timore Dei.	1 Therefore, having these promises, most beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God.
2 Capite nos! Neminem laesimus, neminem corrupimus, neminem circumvenimus.	2 Consider us. We have injured no one; we have corrupted no one; we have defrauded no one.
3 Nonad condemnationem dico; praedixi enim quod in cordibus nostris estis adcommoriendum et ad convivendum.	3 I am not saying this to your condemnation. For we have told you before that you are in our hearts: to die together and to live together.
4 Multa mihi fiducia est apud vos, multa mihigloriatio pro vobis; repletus sum consolatione, superabundo gaudio in omnitribulatione nostra.	4 Great is my confidence in you. Great is my glorying over you. I have been filled with consolation. I have a superabundant joy throughout all our tribulation.
5 Nam et cum venissemus Macedoniam, nullam requiem habuitcaro nostra, sed omnem tribulationem passi: foris pugnae, intus timores.	5 Then, too, when we had arrived in Macedonia, our flesh had no rest. Instead, we suffered every tribulation: exterior conflicts, interior fears.
6 Sed qui consolatur humiles, consolatus est nos Deus in adventu Titi;	6 But God, who consoles the humble, consoled us by the arrival of Titus,
7 nonsolum autem in adventu eius sed etiam in solacio, quo consolatus est in vobis,referens nobis vestrum desiderium, vestrum fletum, vestram aemulationem pro me,ita ut magis gauderem.	7 and not only by his arrival, but also by the consolation with which he was consoled among you. For he brought to us your desire, your weeping, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.
8 Quoniam etsi contristavi vos in epistula, non me paenitet; etsi paeniteret —video quod epistula illa, etsi ad horam, vos contristavit —	8 For though I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent. And if I did repent, but only for a time, having realized that the same epistle made you sorrowful,
9 nunc gaudeo, nonquia contristati estis, sed quia contristati estis ad paenitentiam; contristatienim estis secundum Deum, ut in nullo detrimentum patiamini ex nobis.	9 now I am glad: not because you were sorrowful, but because you were sorrowful unto repentance. For you became sorrowful for God, so that you might not suffer any harm from us.
10 Quaeenim secundum Deum tristitia, paenitentiam in salutem stabilem operatur; saeculiautem tristitia mortem operatur.	10 For the sorrow that is according to God accomplishes a repentance which is steadfast unto salvation. But the sorrow that is of the world accomplishes death.
11 Ecce enim hoc ipsum secundum Deumcontristari: quantam in vobis operatum est sollicitudinem, sed defensionem, sedindignationem, sed timorem, sed desiderium, sed aemulationem, sed vindictam! Inomnibus exhibuistis vos incontaminatos esse negotio.	11 So consider this same idea, being sorrowful according to God, and what great solicitude it accomplishes in you: including protection, and indignation, and fear, and desire, and zeal, and vindication. In all things, you have shown yourselves to be uncorrupted by this sorrow.
12 Igitur etsi scripsivobis, non propter eum, qui fecit iniuriam, nec propter eum, qui passus est, sedad manifestandam sollicitudinem vestram, quam pro nobis habetis, ad vos coramDeo.	12 And so, though I wrote to you, it was not because of him who caused the injury, nor because of him who suffered from it, but so as to manifest our solicitude, which we have for you before God.
13 Ideo consolati sumus. In consolatione autem nostra abundantius magis gavisi sumus super gaudium Titi,quia refectus est spiritus eius ab omnibus vobis;	13 Therefore, we have been consoled. But in our consolation, we have rejoiced even more abundantly over the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by all of you.
14 et si quid apud illum devobis gloriatus sum, non sum confusus, sed sicut omnia vobis in veritate locutisumus, ita et gloriatio nostra, quae fuit ad Titum, veritas facta est.	14 And if I have gloried in anything to him about you, I have not been put to shame. But, just as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our glorying before Titus has been the truth.
15 Etviscera eius abundantius in vos sunt, reminiscentis omnium vestrum oboedientiam,quomodo cum timore et tremore excepistis eum.	15 And his feelings are now more abundant toward you, since he remembers the obedience of you all, and how you received him with fear and trembling.
16 Gaudeo quod in omnibus confido in vobis.	16 I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
