King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
1Utinam sustineretis modicum quid insipientiæ meæ, sed et supportare me:
2For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
2æmulor enim vos Dei æmulatione. Despondi enim vos uni viro, virginem castam exhibere Christo.
3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
3Timeo autem ne sicut serpens Hevam seduxit astutia sua, ita corrumpantur sensus vestri, et excidant a simplicitate, quæ est in Christo.
4For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him .
4Nam si is qui venit, alium Christum prædicat, quem non prædicavimus, aut alium spiritum accipitis, quem non accepistis: aut aliud Evangelium, quod non recepistis: recte pateremini.
5For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
5Existimo enim nihil me minus fecisse a magnis Apostolis.
6But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
6Nam etsi imperitus sermone, sed non scientia, in omnibus autem manifestati sumus vobis.
7Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
7Aut numquid peccatum feci, meipsum humilians, ut vos exaltemini? quoniam gratis Evangelium Dei evangelizavi vobis?
8I robbed other churches, taking wages of them , to do you service.
8Alias ecclesias expoliavi, accipiens stipendium ad ministerium vestrum.
9And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself .
9Et cum essem apud vos, et egerem, nulli onerosus fui: nam quod mihi deerat, suppleverunt fratres, qui venerunt a Macedonia: et in omnibus sine onere me vobis servavi, et servabo.
10As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
10Est veritas Christi in me, quoniam hæc gloriatio non infringetur in me in regionibus Achaiæ.
11Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
11Quare? quia non diligo vos? Deus scit.
12But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
12Quod autem facio, et faciam: ut amputem occasionem eorum qui volunt occasionem, ut in quo gloriantur, inveniantur sicut et nos.
13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
13Nam ejusmodi pseudoapostoli sunt operarii subdoli, transfigurantes se in apostolos Christi.
14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
14Et non mirum: ipse enim Satanas transfigurat se in angelum lucis.
15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
15Non est ergo magnum, si ministri ejus transfigurentur velut ministri justitiæ: quorum finis erit secundum opera ipsorum.
16I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
16Iterum dico (ne quis me putet insipientem esse, alioquin velut insipientem accipite me, ut et ego modicum quid glorier),
17That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
17quod loquor, non loquor secundum Deum, sed quasi in insipientia, in hac substantia gloriæ.
18Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
18Quoniam multi gloriantur secundum carnem: et ego gloriabor.
19For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
19Libenter enim suffertis insipientes, cum sitis ipsi sapientes.
20For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you , if a man take of you , if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
20Sustinetis enim si quis vos in servitutem redigit, si quis devorat, si quis accipit, si quis extollitur, si quis in faciem vos cædit.
21I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
21Secundum ignobilitatem dico, quasi nos infirmi fuerimus in hac parte. In quo quis audet (in insipientia dico) audeo et ego:
22Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
22Hebræi sunt, et ego: Israëlitæ sunt, et ego: semen Abrahæ sunt, et ego.
23Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
23Ministri Christi sunt (ut minus sapiens dico), plus ego: in laboribus plurimis, in carceribus abundantius, in plagis supra modum, in mortibus frequenter.
24Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
24A Judæis quinquies, quadragenas, una minus, accepi.
25Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
25Ter virgis cæsus sum, semel lapidatus sum: ter naufragium feci, nocte et die in profundo maris fui,
26In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
26in itineribus sæpe, periculis fluminum, periculis latronum, periculis ex genere, periculis ex gentibus, periculis in civitate, periculis in solitudine, periculis in mari, periculis in falsis fratribus:
27In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
27in labore et ærumna, in vigiliis multis, in fame et siti, in jejuniis multis, in frigore et nuditate,
28Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
28præter illa quæ extrinsecus sunt, instantia mea quotidiana, sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum.
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
29Quis infirmatur, et ego non infirmor? quis scandalizatur, et ego non uror?
30If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
30Si gloriari oportet, quæ infirmitatis meæ sunt, gloriabor.
31The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
31Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui est benedictus in sæcula, scit quod non mentior.
32In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
32Damasci præpositus gentis Aretæ regis custodiebat civitatem Damascenorum ut me comprehenderet:
33And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
33et per fenestram in sporta dimissus sum per murum, et sic effugi manus ejus.
