2 Mga Corinto 1

1Si Pablo, na Apostol ni Cristo Jesus sa pamamagitan ng kalooban ng Dios, at si Timoteo, na ating kapatid sa Iglesia ng Dios na nasa Corinto, kalakip ng lahat ng mga banal na nasa buong Acaya. 2Sumainyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaang mula sa Dios na ating Ama at sa Panginoong Jesucristo. 3Purihin nawa ang Dios at Ama ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, ang Ama ng mga kaawaan at Dios ng buong kaaliwan; 4Na siyang umaaliw sa atin sa lahat ng kapighatian, upang ating maaliw ang nangasa anomang kapighatian, sa pamamagitan ng pagaliw na inialiw din sa atin ng Dios. 5Sapagka't kung paanong sumasagana sa atin ang mga sakit ni Cristo, ay gayon din naman ang aming kaaliwan ay sumasagana sa pamamagitan ni Cristo. 6Datapuwa't maging kami man ay mapighati, ay para sa inyong kaaliwan at kaligtasan; o maging kami man ay maaliw ay para sa inyong kaaliwan, na siyang gumagawa sa pagdadalitang may pagtitiis ng mga gayon ding pagbabata na amin namang binabata: 7At ang aming pagasa tungkol sa inyo ay matibay; yamang nalalaman na kung paanong kayo'y mga karamay sa mga sakit, ay gayon din naman kayo sa kaaliwan. 8Hindi namin ibig na kayo'y di makaalam, mga kapatid, ng tungkol sa mga kapighatian namin na nangyari sa Asia, na kami ay totoong nabigatan, ng higit sa aming kaya, ano pa't kami ay nawalan na ng pagasa sa buhay: 9Oo, kami'y nagkaroon sa aming sarili ng hatol sa kamatayan, upang huwag kaming magkatiwala sa amin ding sarili, kundi sa Dios na bumubuhay na maguli ng mga patay: 10Na siyang sa amin ay nagligtas sa gayong lubhang malaking kamatayan, at nagliligtas: na siya naming inaasahan na siya namang magliligtas pa sa amin; 11Kayo naman na nagsisitulong ng inyong panalangin na patungkol sa amin; upang dahil sa kaloob na ipinagkaloob sa amin sa pamamagitan ng marami, ay makapagpasalamat ang maraming tao dahil sa amin. 12Sapagka't ang aming pagmamapuri ay ito, ang pagpapatotoo ng aming budhi, ayon sa kabanalan at pagtatapat sa Dios, hindi ayon sa karunungan ng laman, kundi sa biyaya ng Dios, na kami'y nagugali ng gayon sa sanglibutan at lalong sagana pa nga sa inyo. 13Sapagka't hindi namin kayo sinusulatan ng ibang mga bagay, maliban na sa inyong binabasa, o kinikilala, at umaasa ako na inyong kikilalanin hanggang sa katapusan: 14Gaya naman ng inyong bahagyang pagkilala sa amin, na kami'y inyong kapurihan, gayon din naman kayo'y sa amin, sa araw ng Panginoong si Jesus. 15At sa pagkakatiwalang ito ay ninasa kong pumariyan muna sa inyo, upang kayo'y mangagkaroon ng pangalawang pakinabang; 16At magdaan sa inyo na patungo sa Macedonia, at muling buhat sa Macedonia ay magbalik sa inyo, at nang tulungan ninyo ako sa paglalakbay ko sa Judea. 17Nang nasain ko nga ang ganito, ako baga kaya ay nagatubili? o ang mga bagay na ninasa ko, ay mga ninasa ko baga ayon sa laman, upang magkaroon sa akin ng oo, oo, at ng hindi, hindi? 18Nguni't palibhasa'y ang Dios ay tapat, ang aming salita sa inyo ay di oo at hindi. 19Sapagka't ang Anak ng Dios, si Jesucristo, na ipinangaral namin sa inyo, ako at si Silvano at si Timoteo, hindi naging oo at hindi, kundi sa kaniya ay naging oo. 20Sapagka't maging gaano man ang mga pangako ng Dios, ay nasa kaniya ang oo: kaya nga naman na sa kaniya ang Siya Nawa sa ikaluluwalhati ng Dios sa pamamagitan namin. 21Ngayon, siya na ang nagpapatibay sa amin na kasama ninyo kay Cristo, at nagpahid sa atin, ay ang Dios, 22Na siyang nagtatak naman sa atin, at nagbigay ng patotoo ng Espiritu sa ating mga puso. 23Datapuwa't ang Dios ang tinatawag kong maging saksi sa aking kaluluwa, na upang huwag kayong papagdamdamin ay hindi muna ako napariyan sa Corinto. 24Hindi sa kami ay may pagkapanginoon sa inyong pananampalataya, kundi kami ay mga tagatulong sa inyong katuwaan: sapagka't sa pananampalataya kayo'y nangagsisitatag.

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: 2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 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. 5For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ. 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. 7Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort. 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. 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, 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; 11you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf. 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. 13For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end; 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. 15In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit; 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. 17When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?” 18But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.” 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.” 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. 21Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God; 22who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts. 23But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you. 24Not that we control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

1Paulus, een apostel van Jezus Christus, door den wil van God, en Timotheus, de broeder, aan de Gemeente Gods, die te Korinthe is, met al de heiligen, die in geheel Achaje zijn: 2Genade zij u en vrede van God, onzen Vader, en den Heere Jezus Christus. 3Geloofd zij de God en Vader van onzen Heere Jezus Christus, de Vader der barmhartigheden, en de God aller vertroosting; 4Die ons vertroost in al onze verdrukking, opdat wij zouden kunnen vertroosten degenen, die in allerlei verdrukking zijn, door de vertroosting, met welke wij zelven van God vertroost worden. 5Want gelijk het lijden van Christus overvloedig is in ons, alzo is ook door Christus onze vertroosting overvloedig. 6Doch hetzij dat wij verdrukt worden, het is tot uw vertroosting en zaligheid, die gewrocht wordt in de lijdzaamheid van hetzelfde lijden, hetwelk wij ook lijden; hetzij dat wij vertroost worden, het is tot uw vertroosting en zaligheid; 7En onze hoop van u is vast, als die weten, dat, gelijk gij gemeenschap hebt aan het lijden, gij ook alzo gemeenschap hebt aan de vertroosting. 8Want wij willen niet, broeders, dat gij onwetende zijt van onze verdrukking, die ons in Azie overkomen is, dat wij uitnemend zeer bezwaard zijn geweest boven onze macht, alzo dat wij zeer in twijfel waren, ook van het leven. 9Ja, wij hadden al zelven in onszelven het vonnis des doods, opdat wij niet op onszelven vertrouwen zouden, maar op God, Die de doden verwekt; 10Die ons uit zo groten dood verlost heeft, en nog verlost; op Welken wij hopen, dat Hij ons ook nog verlossen zal. 11Alzo gijlieden ook medearbeidt voor ons door het gebed, opdat over de gave, door vele personen aan ons teweeggebracht ook voor ons dankzegging door velen gedaan worde. 12Want onze roem is deze, namelijk de getuigenis van ons geweten, dat wij in eenvoudigheid en oprechtheid Gods, niet in vleselijke wijsheid, maar in de genade Gods, in de wereld verkeerd hebben, en allermeest bij ulieden. 13Want wij schrijven u geen andere dingen, dan die gij kent, of ook erkent; en ik hoop, dat gij ze ook tot het einde toe erkennen zult; 14Gelijkerwijs gij ook ten dele ons erkend hebt, dat wij uw roem zijn, gelijk gij ook de onze zijt, in den dag van den Heere Jezus. 15En op dit betrouwen wilde ik te voren tot u komen, opdat gij een tweede genade zoudt hebben; 16En door uw stad naar Macedonie gaan, en wederom van Macedonie tot u komen, en van ulieden naar Judea geleid worden. 17Als ik dan dit voorgenomen heb, heb ik ook lichtvaardigheid gebruikt? Of neem ik het naar het vlees voor, hetgeen ik voorneem, opdat bij mij zou wezen, ja, ja, en neen, neen? 18Doch God is getrouw, dat ons woord, hetwelk tot u is geschied, niet is geweest ja en neen. 19Want de Zoon van God, Jezus Christus, Die onder u door ons is gepredikt, namelijk door mij, en Silvanus, en Timotheus, was niet ja en neen, maar is geweest ja in Hem. 20Want zovele beloften Gods als er zijn, die zijn in Hem ja, en zijn in Hem amen, Gode tot heerlijkheid door ons. 21Maar Die ons met u bevestigt in Christus, en Die ons gezalfd heeft, is God; 22Die ons ook heeft verzegeld, en het onderpand des Geestes in onze harten gegeven. 23Doch ik aanroepe God tot een Getuige over mijn ziel, dat ik, om u te sparen, nog te Korinthe niet ben gekomen. 24Niet dat wij heerschappij voeren over uw geloof, maar wij zijn medewerkers uwer blijdschap; want gij staat door het geloof.
