Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
1παυλοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου δια θεληματοσ θεου και τιμοθεοσ ο αδελφοσ τη εκκλησια του θεου τη ουση εν κορινθω συν τοισ αγιοισ πασιν τοισ ουσιν εν ολη τη αχαια
2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
3ευλογητοσ ο θεοσ και πατηρ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο πατηρ των οικτιρμων και θεοσ πασησ παρακλησεωσ
4who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
4ο παρακαλων ημασ επι παση τη θλιψει ημων εισ το δυνασθαι ημασ παρακαλειν τουσ εν παση θλιψει δια τησ παρακλησεωσ ησ παρακαλουμεθα αυτοι υπο του θεου
5For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
5οτι καθωσ περισσευει τα παθηματα του χριστου εισ ημασ ουτωσ δια του χριστου περισσευει και η παρακλησισ ημων
6But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
6ειτε δε θλιβομεθα υπερ τησ υμων παρακλησεωσ και σωτηριασ τησ ενεργουμενησ εν υπομονη των αυτων παθηματων ων και ημεισ πασχομεν και η ελπισ ημων βεβαια υπερ υμων ειτε παρακαλουμεθα υπερ τησ υμων παρακλησεωσ και σωτηριασ
7Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
7ειδοτεσ οτι ωσπερ κοινωνοι εστε των παθηματων ουτωσ και τησ παρακλησεωσ
8For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
8ου γαρ θελομεν υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι υπερ τησ θλιψεωσ ημων τησ γενομενησ ημιν εν τη ασια οτι καθ υπερβολην εβαρηθημεν υπερ δυναμιν ωστε εξαπορηθηναι ημασ και του ζην
9Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
9αλλα αυτοι εν εαυτοισ το αποκριμα του θανατου εσχηκαμεν ινα μη πεποιθοτεσ ωμεν εφ εαυτοισ αλλ επι τω θεω τω εγειροντι τουσ νεκρουσ
10who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
10οσ εκ τηλικουτου θανατου ερρυσατο ημασ και ρυεται εισ ον ηλπικαμεν οτι και ετι ρυσεται
11you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
11συνυπουργουντων και υμων υπερ ημων τη δεησει ινα εκ πολλων προσωπων το εισ ημασ χαρισμα δια πολλων ευχαριστηθη υπερ υμων
12For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
12η γαρ καυχησισ ημων αυτη εστιν το μαρτυριον τησ συνειδησεωσ ημων οτι εν απλοτητι και ειλικρινεια θεου ουκ εν σοφια σαρκικη αλλ εν χαριτι θεου ανεστραφημεν εν τω κοσμω περισσοτερωσ δε προσ υμασ
13For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
13ου γαρ αλλα γραφομεν υμιν αλλ η α αναγινωσκετε η και επιγινωσκετε ελπιζω δε οτι και εωσ τελουσ επιγνωσεσθε
14as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
14καθωσ και επεγνωτε ημασ απο μερουσ οτι καυχημα υμων εσμεν καθαπερ και υμεισ ημων εν τη ημερα του κυριου ιησου
15In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
15και ταυτη τη πεποιθησει εβουλομην ελθειν προσ υμασ το προτερον ινα δευτεραν χαριν εχητε
16and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
16και δι υμων διελθειν εισ μακεδονιαν και παλιν απο μακεδονιασ ελθειν προσ υμασ και υφ υμων προπεμφθηναι εισ την ιουδαιαν
17When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
17τουτο ουν βουλευομενοσ μητι αρα τη ελαφρια εχρησαμην η α βουλευομαι κατα σαρκα βουλευομαι ινα η παρ εμοι το ναι ναι και το ου ου
18But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
18πιστοσ δε ο θεοσ οτι ο λογοσ ημων ο προσ υμασ ουκ εγενετο ναι και ου
19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
19ο γαρ του θεου υιοσ ιησουσ χριστοσ ο εν υμιν δι ημων κηρυχθεισ δι εμου και σιλουανου και τιμοθεου ουκ εγενετο ναι και ου αλλα ναι εν αυτω γεγονεν
20For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
20οσαι γαρ επαγγελιαι θεου εν αυτω το ναι και εν αυτω το αμην τω θεω προσ δοξαν δι ημων
21Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
21ο δε βεβαιων ημασ συν υμιν εισ χριστον και χρισασ ημασ θεοσ
22who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
22ο και σφραγισαμενοσ ημασ και δουσ τον αρραβωνα του πνευματοσ εν ταισ καρδιαισ ημων
23But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.
23εγω δε μαρτυρα τον θεον επικαλουμαι επι την εμην ψυχην οτι φειδομενοσ υμων ουκετι ηλθον εισ κορινθον
24We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
24ουχ οτι κυριευομεν υμων τησ πιστεωσ αλλα συνεργοι εσμεν τησ χαρασ υμων τη γαρ πιστει εστηκατε
