Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:
1Paulus, Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Timotheus frater, ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi cum omnibus sanctis, qui sunt in universa Achaia.
2Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
3Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum, et Deus totius consolationis,
4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
4qui 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.
5For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
5Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra.
6If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.
6Sive 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:
7And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.
7ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis.
8We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.
8Non 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.
9Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.
9Sed ipsi in nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes in nobis, sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:
10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,
10qui de tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit: in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet,
11as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.
11adjuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis: ut ex multorum personis, ejus quæ in nobis est donationis, per multos gratiæ agantur pro nobis.
12And this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.
12Nam 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.
13For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,
13Non enim alia scribimus vobis, quam quæ legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,
14as you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.
14sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quod gloria vestra sumus, sicut et vos nostra, in die Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
15Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.
15Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundum gratiam haberetis:
16I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.
16et per vos transire in Macedoniam, et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos, et a vobis deduci in Judæam.
17When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” when I really mean “No, no”?
17Cum ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum? aut quæ cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me Est et Non?
18But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
18Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fuit apud vos, non est in illo Est et Non.
19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”
19Dei 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.
20For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.
20Quotquot enim promissiones Dei sunt, in illo Est: ideo et per ipsum Amen Deo ad gloriam nostram.
21Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,
21Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus:
22placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.
22qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris.
23I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.
23Ego 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.
24Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.
