Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Propter quod non sustinentes amplius, placuit nobis remanere Athenis, solis:
1Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
2et misimus Timotheum fratrem nostrum, et ministrum Dei in Evangelio Christi, ad confirmandos vos, et exhortandos pro fide vestra:
2And 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:
3ut nemo moveatur in tribulationibus istis: ipsi enim scitis quod in hoc positi sumus.
3That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
4Nam et cum apud vos essemus, prædicebamus vobis passuros nos tribulationes, sicut et factum est, et scitis.
4For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
5Propterea et ego amplius non sustinens, misi ad cognoscendam fidem vestram: ne forte tentaverit vos is qui tentat, et inanis fiat labor noster.
5For 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.
6Nunc autem veniente Timotheo ad nos a vobis, et annuntiante nobis fidem et caritatem vestram, et quia memoriam nostri habetis bonam semper, desiderantes nos videre, sicut et nos quoque vos:
6But 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:
7ideo consolati sumus, fratres, in vobis in omni necessitate et tribulatione nostra, per fidem vestram,
7Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
8quoniam nunc vivimus, si vos statis in Domino.
8For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
9Quam enim gratiarum actionem possumus Deo retribuere pro vobis in omni gaudio, quo gaudemus propter vos ante Deum nostrum,
9For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
10nocte ac die abundantius orantes, ut videamus faciem vestram, et compleamus ea quæ desunt fidei vestræ?
10Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
11Ipse autem Deus, et Pater noster, et Dominus noster Jesus Christus, dirigat viam nostram ad vos.
11Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
12Vos autem Dominus multiplicet, et abundare faciat caritatem vestram in invicem, et in omnes, quemadmodum et nos in vobis:
12And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men , even as we do toward you:
13ad confirmanda corda vestra sine querela in sanctitate, ante Deum et Patrem nostrum, in adventu Domini nostri Jesu Christi cum omnibus sanctis ejus. Amen.
13To 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.
