NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Propter quod non sustinentes amplius, placuit nobis, ut relin queremurAthenis soli,	1 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
2 et misimus Timotheum, fratrem nostrum et cooperatorem Dei inevangelio Christi, ad confirmandos vos et exhortandos pro fide vestra,	2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
3 ut nemoturbetur in tribulationibus istis. Ipsi enim scitis quod in hoc positi sumus;	3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
4 nam et cum apud vos essemus, praedicebamus vobis passuros nos tribulationes,sicut et factum est et scitis.	4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
5 Propterea et ego amplius non sustinens, misi adcognoscendam fidem vestram, ne forte tentaverit vos is qui tentat, et inanisfiat labor noster.	5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
6 Nunc autem, veniente Timotheo ad nos a vobis et annuntiante nobis fidem etcaritatem vestram, et quia memoriam nostri habetis bonam semper, desiderantesnos videre, sicut nos quoque vos;	6 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
7 ideo consolati sumus, fratres, propter vosin omni necessitate et tribulatione nostra per vestram fidem;	7 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
8 quoniam nuncvivimus, si vos statis in Domino.	8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
9 Quam enim gratiarum actionem possumus Deoretribuere pro vobis in omni gaudio, quo gaudemus propter vos ante Deum nostrum,	9 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
10 nocte et die abundantius orantes, ut videamus faciem vestram et compleamusea, quae desunt fidei vestrae?	10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
11 Ipse autem Deus et Pater noster et Dominus noster Iesus dirigat viam nostramad vos;	11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
12 vos autem Dominus abundare et superabundare faciat caritate ininvicem et in omnes, quemadmodum et nos in vos;	12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
13 ad confirmanda corda vestrasine querela in sanctitate ante Deum et Patrem nostrum, in adventu Domini nostriIesu cum omnibus sanctis eius. Amen.	13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
