Ad Corinthios II 1

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Paulus, Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Timotheus frater, ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi cum omnibus sanctis, qui sunt in universa Achaia.	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 Jesu Christo.	2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum, et Deus 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 : ut possimus 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 in nobis : ita et per Christum abundat 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 consolamur pro vestra consolatione, sive exhortamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, quæ operatur tolerantiam earumdem 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 ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis : scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis 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, quæ facta est in Asia, quoniam supra modum gravati sumus supra virtutem, ita ut tæderet nos etiam 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 nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes 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 tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit : in quem speramus quoniam 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 adjuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis : ut ex multorum personis, ejus quæ in nobis est donationis, per multos gratiæ 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 hæc est : testimonium conscientiæ nostræ, quod in simplicitate cordis et sinceritate Dei, et non in sapientia carnali, sed in gratia Dei, conversati sumus in hoc 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 scribimus vobis, quam quæ legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,	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, quod gloria vestra sumus, sicut et vos nostra, in die Domini nostri Jesu Christi.	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 a vobis deduci in Judæam.	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 ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum ? aut quæ cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me Est et 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 fuit apud vos, non est in illo 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 Jesus Christus, qui in vobis per nos prædicatus 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 Dei sunt, in illo Est : ideo et per ipsum Amen Deo ad gloriam nostram.	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 Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus :	21 Now the One who confirms us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, is God.
22 qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus 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 veni ultra Corinthum : non quia dominamur fidei vestæ, sed adjutores sumus gaudii vestri : nam fide statis.	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 not because we have dominion over your faith, but because we are assistants of your joy. For by faith you stand.
