Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly: but do bear with me.
1οφελον ανειχεσθε μου μικρον τη αφροσυνη αλλα και ανεχεσθε μου
2For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
2ζηλω γαρ υμασ θεου ζηλω ηρμοσαμην γαρ υμασ ενι ανδρι παρθενον αγνην παραστησαι τω χριστω
3But I fear lest, as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted, and fall from the simplicity that is in Christ.
3φοβουμαι δε μηπωσ ωσ ο οφισ ευαν εξηπατησεν εν τη πανουργια αυτου ουτωσ φθαρη τα νοηματα υμων απο τησ απλοτητοσ τησ εισ τον χριστον
4For if he that cometh preacheth another Christ, whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, whom you have not received; or another gospel which you have not received; you might well bear with him.
4ει μεν γαρ ο ερχομενοσ αλλον ιησουν κηρυσσει ον ουκ εκηρυξαμεν η πνευμα ετερον λαμβανετε ο ουκ ελαβετε η ευαγγελιον ετερον ο ουκ εδεξασθε καλωσ ηνειχεσθε
5For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles.
5λογιζομαι γαρ μηδεν υστερηκεναι των υπερ λιαν αποστολων
6For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but in all things we have been made manifest to you.
6ει δε και ιδιωτησ τω λογω αλλ ου τη γνωσει αλλ εν παντι φανερωθεντεσ εν πασιν εισ υμασ
7Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself, that you might be exalted? Because I preached unto you the gospel of God freely?
7η αμαρτιαν εποιησα εμαυτον ταπεινων ινα υμεισ υψωθητε οτι δωρεαν το του θεου ευαγγελιον ευηγγελισαμην υμιν
8I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry.
8αλλασ εκκλησιασ εσυλησα λαβων οψωνιον προσ την υμων διακονιαν
9And, when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia; and in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you, and so I will keep myself.
9και παρων προσ υμασ και υστερηθεισ ου κατεναρκησα ουδενοσ το γαρ υστερημα μου προσανεπληρωσαν οι αδελφοι ελθοντεσ απο μακεδονιασ και εν παντι αβαρη υμιν εμαυτον ετηρησα και τηρησω
10The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia.
10εστιν αληθεια χριστου εν εμοι οτι η καυχησισ αυτη ου φραγησεται εισ εμε εν τοισ κλιμασιν τησ αχαιασ
11Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth it.
11δια τι οτι ουκ αγαπω υμασ ο θεοσ οιδεν
12But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off the occasion from them that desire occasion, that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
12ο δε ποιω και ποιησω ινα εκκοψω την αφορμην των θελοντων αφορμην ινα εν ω καυχωνται ευρεθωσιν καθωσ και ημεισ
13For such false apostles are deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
13οι γαρ τοιουτοι ψευδαποστολοι εργαται δολιοι μετασχηματιζομενοι εισ αποστολουσ χριστου
14And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light.
14και ου θαυμαστον αυτοσ γαρ ο σατανασ μετασχηματιζεται εισ αγγελον φωτοσ
15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers be transformed as the ministers of justice, whose end shall be according to their works.
15ου μεγα ουν ει και οι διακονοι αυτου μετασχηματιζονται ωσ διακονοι δικαιοσυνησ ων το τελοσ εσται κατα τα εργα αυτων
16I say again, (let no man think me to be foolish, otherwise take me as one foolish, that I also may glory a little.)
16παλιν λεγω μη τισ με δοξη αφρονα ειναι ει δε μηγε καν ωσ αφρονα δεξασθε με ινα καγω μικρον τι καυχησωμαι
17That which I speak, I speak not according to God, but as it were in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.
17ο λαλω ου λαλω κατα κυριον αλλ ωσ εν αφροσυνη εν ταυτη τη υποστασει τησ καυχησεωσ
18Seeing that many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.
18επει πολλοι καυχωνται κατα την σαρκα καγω καυχησομαι
19For you gladly suffer the foolish; whereas yourselves are wise.
19ηδεωσ γαρ ανεχεσθε των αφρονων φρονιμοι οντεσ
20For you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you on the face.
20ανεχεσθε γαρ ει τισ υμασ καταδουλοι ει τισ κατεσθιει ει τισ λαμβανει ει τισ επαιρεται ει τισ υμασ εισ προσωπον δερει
21I speak according to dishonour, as if we had been weak in this part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also.
21κατα ατιμιαν λεγω ωσ οτι ημεισ ησθενησαμεν εν ω δ αν τισ τολμα εν αφροσυνη λεγω τολμω καγω
22They are Hebrews: so am I. They are Israelites: so am I. They are the seed of Abraham: so am I.
22εβραιοι εισιν καγω ισραηλιται εισιν καγω σπερμα αβρααμ εισιν καγω
23They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise). I am more; in many more labours, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.
23διακονοι χριστου εισιν παραφρονων λαλω υπερ εγω εν κοποισ περισσοτερωσ εν πληγαισ υπερβαλλοντωσ εν φυλακαισ περισσοτερωσ εν θανατοισ πολλακισ
24Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes, save one.
24υπο ιουδαιων πεντακισ τεσσαρακοντα παρα μιαν ελαβον
25Thrice was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea.
25τρισ εραβδισθην απαξ ελιθασθην τρισ εναυαγησα νυχθημερον εν τω βυθω πεποιηκα
26In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren.
26οδοιποριαισ πολλακισ κινδυνοισ ποταμων κινδυνοισ ληστων κινδυνοισ εκ γενουσ κινδυνοισ εξ εθνων κινδυνοισ εν πολει κινδυνοισ εν ερημια κινδυνοισ εν θαλασση κινδυνοισ εν ψευδαδελφοισ
27In labour and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
27εν κοπω και μοχθω εν αγρυπνιαισ πολλακισ εν λιμω και διψει εν νηστειαισ πολλακισ εν ψυχει και γυμνοτητι
28Besides those things which are without: my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches.
28χωρισ των παρεκτοσ η επισυστασισ μου η καθ ημεραν η μεριμνα πασων των εκκλησιων
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire?
29τισ ασθενει και ουκ ασθενω τισ σκανδαλιζεται και ουκ εγω πυρουμαι
30If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity.
30ει καυχασθαι δει τα τησ ασθενειασ μου καυχησομαι
31The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not.
31ο θεοσ και πατηρ του κυριου ιησου χριστου οιδεν ο ων ευλογητοσ εισ τουσ αιωνασ οτι ου ψευδομαι
32At Damascus, the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to apprehend me.
32εν δαμασκω ο εθναρχησ αρετα του βασιλεωσ εφρουρει την δαμασκηνων πολιν πιασαι με θελων
33And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and so escaped his hands.
33και δια θυριδοσ εν σαργανη εχαλασθην δια του τειχουσ και εξεφυγον τασ χειρασ αυτου
