| 1 | Oh, that you would bear with me in a little folly—and indeed you do bear with me. |
|
Όφελονανείχεσθέμουμικρόντιαφροσύνης·αλλὰκαὶανέχεσθέμου.
|
|
| 2 | For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. |
|
ζηλῶγὰρυμᾶςθεοῦζήλω,ηρμοσάμηνγὰρυμᾶςενὶανδρὶπαρθένοναγνὴνπαραστῆσαιτῶΧριστῶ·
|
|
| 3 | But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. |
|
φοβοῦμαιδὲμήπως,ωςοόφιςεξηπάτησενΕύανεντῆπανουργίααυτοῦ,φθαρῆτὰνοήματαυμῶναπὸτῆςαπλότητος[καὶτῆςαγνότητος]τῆςειςτὸνΧριστόν.
|
|
| 4 | For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it! |
|
ειμὲνγὰροερχόμενοςάλλονΙησοῦνκηρύσσειὸνουκεκηρύξαμεν,ὴπνεῦμαέτερονλαμβάνετεὸουκελάβετε,ὴευαγγέλιονέτερονὸουκεδέξασθε,καλῶςανέχεσθε.
|
|
| 5 | For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles. |
|
λογίζομαιγὰρμηδὲνυστερηκέναιτῶνυπερλίαναποστόλων·
|
|
| 6 | Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. But we have been thoroughly manifested among you in all things. |
|
ειδὲκαὶιδιώτηςτῶλόγω,αλλ᾿ουτῆγνώσει,αλλ᾿ενπαντὶφανερώσαντεςενπᾶσινειςυμᾶς.
|
|
| 7 | Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge? |
|
Ὴαμαρτίανεποίησαεμαυτὸνταπεινῶνίναυμεῖςυψωθῆτε,ότιδωρεὰντὸτοῦθεοῦευαγγέλιονευηγγελισάμηνυμῖν;
|
|
| 8 | I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. |
|
άλλαςεκκλησίαςεσύλησαλαβὼνοψώνιονπρὸςτὴνυμῶνδιακονίαν,
|
|
| 9 | And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself. |
|
καὶπαρὼνπρὸςυμᾶςκαὶυστερηθεὶςουκατενάρκησαουθενός·τὸγὰρυστέρημάμουπροσανεπλήρωσανοιαδελφοὶελθόντεςαπὸΜακεδονίας·καὶενπαντὶαβαρῆεμαυτὸνυμῖνετήρησακαὶτηρήσω.
|
|
| 10 | As the truth of Christ is in me, no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. |
|
έστιναλήθειαΧριστοῦενεμοὶότιηκαύχησιςαύτηουφραγήσεταιειςεμὲεντοῖςκλίμασιντῆςΑχαίας.
|
|
| 11 | Why? Because I do not love you? God knows! |
|
διὰτί;ότιουκαγαπῶυμᾶς;οθεὸςοῖδεν.
|
|
| 12 | But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. |
|
Ὸδὲποιῶκαὶποιήσω,ίναεκκόψωτὴναφορμὴντῶνθελόντωναφορμήν,ίναενῶκαυχῶνταιευρεθῶσινκαθὼςκαὶημεῖς.
|
|
| 13 | For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. |
|
οιγὰρτοιοῦτοιψευδαπόστολοι,εργάταιδόλιοι,μετασχηματιζόμενοιειςαποστόλουςΧριστοῦ.
|
|
| 14 | And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. |
|
καὶουθαῦμα,αυτὸςγὰροΣατανᾶςμετασχηματίζεταιειςάγγελονφωτός·
|
|
| 15 | Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. |
|
ουμέγαοῦνεικαὶοιδιάκονοιαυτοῦμετασχηματίζονταιωςδιάκονοιδικαιοσύνης,ῶντὸτέλοςέσταικατὰτὰέργααυτῶν.
|
|
| 16 | I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little. |
|
Πάλινλέγω,μήτίςμεδόξηάφροναεῖναι·ειδὲμήγε,κὰνωςάφροναδέξασθέμε,ίνακαγὼμικρόντικαυχήσωμαι.
|
|
| 17 | What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. |
|
ὸλαλῶουκατὰκύριονλαλῶ,αλλ᾿ωςεναφροσύνη,ενταύτητῆυποστάσειτῆςκαυχήσεως.
|
|
| 18 | Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast. |
|
επεὶπολλοὶκαυχῶνταικατὰσάρκα,καγὼκαυχήσομαι.
|
|
| 19 | For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise! |
|
ηδέωςγὰρανέχεσθετῶναφρόνωνφρόνιμοιόντες·
|
|
| 20 | For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face. |
|
ανέχεσθεγὰρείτιςυμᾶςκαταδουλοῖ,είτιςκατεσθίει,είτιςλαμβάνει,είτιςεπαίρεται,είτιςειςπρόσωπονυμᾶςδέρει.
|
|
| 21 | To our shame I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold—I speak foolishly—I am bold also. |
|
κατὰατιμίανλέγω,ωςότιημεῖςησθενήκαμεν·ενῶδ᾿άντιςτολμᾶ,εναφροσύνηλέγω,τολμῶκαγώ.
|
|
| 22 | Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. |
|
Εβραῖοίεισιν;καγώ.Ισραηλῖταίεισιν;καγώ.σπέρμαΑβραάμεισιν;καγώ.
|
|
| 23 | Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. |
|
διάκονοιΧριστοῦεισιν;παραφρονῶνλαλῶ,υπὲρεγώ·ενκόποιςπερισσοτέρως,ενφυλακαῖςπερισσοτέρως,ενπληγαῖςυπερβαλλόντως,ενθανάτοιςπολλάκις·
|
|
| 24 | From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. |
|
υπὸΙουδαίωνπεντάκιςτεσσαράκονταπαρὰμίανέλαβον,
|
|
| 25 | Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; |
|
τρὶςεραβδίσθην,άπαξελιθάσθην,τρὶςεναυάγησα,νυχθήμερονεντῶβυθῶπεποίηκα·
|
|
| 26 | in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; |
|
οδοιπορίαιςπολλάκις,κινδύνοιςποταμῶν,κινδύνοιςληστῶν,κινδύνοιςεκγένους,κινδύνοιςεξεθνῶν,κινδύνοιςενπόλει,κινδύνοιςενερημία,κινδύνοιςενθαλάσση,κινδύνοιςενψευδαδέλφοις,
|
|
| 27 | in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness— |
|
κόπωκαὶμόχθω,εναγρυπνίαιςπολλάκις,ενλιμῶκαὶδίψει,εννηστείαιςπολλάκις,ενψύχεικαὶγυμνότητι·
|
|
| 28 | besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. |
|
χωρὶςτῶνπαρεκτὸςηεπίστασίςμοιηκαθ᾿ημέραν,ημέριμναπασῶντῶνεκκλησιῶν.
|
|
| 29 | Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation? |
|
τίςασθενεῖ,καὶουκασθενῶ;τίςσκανδαλίζεται,καὶουκεγὼπυροῦμαι;
|
|
| 30 | If I must boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity. |
|
Εικαυχᾶσθαιδεῖ,τὰτῆςασθενείαςμουκαυχήσομαι.
|
|
| 31 | The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. |
|
οθεὸςκαὶπατὴρτοῦκυρίουΙησοῦοῖδεν,οὼνευλογητὸςειςτοὺςαιῶνας,ότιουψεύδομαι.
|
|
| 32 | In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me; |
|
ενΔαμασκῶοεθνάρχηςΑρέτατοῦβασιλέωςεφρούρειτὴνπόλινΔαμασκηνῶνπιάσαιμε,
|
|
| 33 | but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands. |
|
καὶδιὰθυρίδοςενσαργάνηεχαλάσθηνδιὰτοῦτείχουςκαὶεξέφυγοντὰςχεῖραςαυτοῦ.
|
