I and II Corinthians in E-Prime with Interlinear Greek in IPA

NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation
E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all to be verbs (is,
are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the is of identity (instead of John
is a teacher, we use John teaches.), the is of predication (instead of The apple is sweet,
we use The apple tastes sweet.), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of
Blessed is the man, we use God blesses the man.). By performing these linguistic
procedures, we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.
Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers
The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and
Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic
Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with
borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is
100% phonetic, while the English Alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only
60% phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration scemes are also hit and
miss. Using the IPA pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the
most stable elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will
cause trouble continually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end
English speakers as they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew
IPA texts.

Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

Paul a called apostle of Jesus Christ
dia lematos -u ke sosnes o adlfos

by [the] will of God and Sosthenes the brother.

To the church of God which meets at Corinth, to those who have received sanctification in
Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
e klesia tu u te use n
to the church of God which is in

Corinth having being sanctified in Christ Jesus
kletis agi-is sn pasin tis pikalumnis

called saints with all those calling on

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
aris min ke erene apo -u patros emon

grace to you and peace from God Father of us
ke kjriu iesu ristu

and [the] Lord Jesus Christ
4
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which Jesus Christ gave you,
juaristo to -o mu pantot pri mon

I thank the God of me always concerning you
pi te ariti tu -u te doese min

for the grace of God having been given to you
n risto iesu
in Christ Jesus.
5
that in everything you received enrichment in Him, in all speech and all knowledge,
oti n panti plutiset n avto n

that in everything you were enriched in him in
panti logo ke pase gnose

all talk and all knowledge
6
even as the testimony concerning Christ received confirmation in you,
kaos to martrion tu ristu bbe-oe n min

as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you.
7
so that you do not lack in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
ost mas me strese n medni

so that you not are lacking in not one
arismati apkdomnus ten apokalpsin tu

gift waiting the revelation of the
kriu iesu ristu

Lord of us Jesus Christ.
6
8
who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
os ke bbe-ose mas os tlus

who also will confirm you to [the] end
annkletus n te emra tu kriu emon

blameless in the day of the Lord of us
iesu risto
Jesus Christ.
9
God remains faithful, through whom you received calling into fellowship with His Son, Jesus
Christ our Lord.
pistos o os di u kleet es
Faithful [is] God by whom you were called into
kinonian tu u-i-u avtu iesu ristu tu

fellowship of the Son of him Jesus Christ the
kriu emon
Lord of us.
10
Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that
you should have no divisions among you, but that you may reach consensus in the same
mind and in the same judgment.
parakalo d mas adlfi dia tu

I exhort moreover you brothers by the
onomatos tu kriu emon iesu ristu ina

name the Lord of us Jesus Christ that
to avto lget pants ke me e n

the same thing you say all and not there be among
min sismata et d katertismni n

you divisions you be moreover knot together in
to avto ni ke n te avte gnome

the same mind and in the same judgment
7
11
For I have received information concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe's people, that
quarrels erupted among you.
deloe gar mi pri mon adlfi mu

it was shown indeed to me concerning you brothers of me
po ton loes oti rids n min

by those of [the house of] Chloe that quarrels among you
esin
there are.
12
Now I mean this, that each one of you say, "I belong to Paul," and "I belong to Apollos," and
"I belong to Cephas," and "I of Christ."
lgo d tuto oti kastos mon lege

I say moreover this that each of you says
go mn emi pavlu go d apolo

I indeed am of Paul I moreover of Apollos
go d kefa go d ristu
I moreover of Cephas I moreover of Christ.
13
Has Christ become divided? Paul did not submit to crucifixion for you, did he? Or did
someone baptize you in the name of Paul?
mmriste o ristos me pavlos

Has been divided Christ not Paul
stavroe pr mon e es to onoma

was crucified for you or to the name
pavlu baptiset
of Paul were you baptized?
14
I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
juaristo to o oti udna mon

I thank God that no one of you
baptisa e me krispon ke ge-on

I baptized if not Crispus and Gaius
8
15
so that no one would say you received baptism in my name.
ina me tis epe oti es to mon

that not anyone should say that unto my
onoma baptiset
name you were baptized.
16
Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I
baptized any other.
baptisa d ke ton stfana ikon

I baptized moreover also the of Stephana household
lipon uk e tina alon baptisa

as to the rest not I know if any other I baptized
17
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech,
so that the cross of Christ would not become void.
u gar apsteln m ristos baptizen ala

not indeed sent me Christ to baptize but
ju-anglizseuk n sofia logu ina me

to preach the gospel not in wisdom of word that not
knoe o stavros tu ristu

be emptied of power the cross of the Christ.
The Wisdom of God

18
For the word of the cross seems foolishness to those who perish, but to us who receive
salvation, we recognize it as the power of God.
o logos gar o tu stavru tis mn

the word indeed of the cross to those indeed
apolmnis moria stin tis d

perishing foolishness is those moreover
9
19
For the scriptures state;
"I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE,
AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."
ggrapte gar
It has been written indeed
apolo ten sofian ton sofon

I will destroy the wisdom of the wise
ke ten snsin ton snton ateso

and the intelligence of the intelligent ones I will frustrate.
20
Where do we find the wise man? Where do we find the scribe? Where do we find the
debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
pu sofos pu gramatus pu
Where [is the] wise ? where [the] scribe ? where [the]
szetes tu i-onos tutu ui morann

debater the age of this not? did make foolish
o os ten sofian tu kosmu

God the wisdom the world?
21
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God,
God expressed pleasure through the foolishness of the message preached to save those
who believe.
pede gar n te sofia tu u uk

since indeed in the wisdom of God not
gno o kosmos dia tes sofias ton on

knew the world through the wisdom God
judokesn o os dia tes morias tu

was pleased God by the foolishness of the
kergmatos sose tus pistju-ontas

proclamation to save those that believe
10
22
For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;
pede ke iude-i semea etusin ke

Since both Jews a sign ask for and
lens sofian zetusin

Greeks wisdom seek.
23
but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness,
emes d kersomn riston stavromnon

we however preach Christ crucified
iude-is mn skandalon nsin d marian

to Jews indeed a stumbling block to Greeks moreover foolishness.
24
but to those who have received the calling, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God
and the wisdom of God.
avtis d tis kletis iude-is t ke

to them however the called Jews both and
lesin riston -u dnamin ke -u

Greeks Christ God's power and God's
sofian
wisdom.
25
Because the foolishness of God proves wiser than men, and the weakness of God proves
stronger than men.
oti to moron tu -u sofotron ton

For the foolishness of God wiser
anropon stin ke to asns tu -u

than men is and the weakness of God
isrotron ton anropon

stronger than men.
11
26
For consider your calling, brethren, that God did not call many wise according to the flesh,
not many mighty, not many noble;
blpt gar ten klesin mon adlfi oti

you see indeed the calling of you brothers that
u poli sofi kata sarka u poli

not many wise according to flesh [there are] not many
dnati u poli jugnes

powerful not many highborn.
27
but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen
the weak things of the world to shame the things which seem strong,
ala ta mora tu kosmu lato o

But the foolish things of the world chose
os ina katisne tus sofus ke ta

God that he might put to shame the wise and the
katisne asne tu kosmu lto

he might be put to shame weak things of the world chose
o -os ina ta isra

God that the strong things
28
and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that do not
amount to much, so that He may nullify the things that seem to amount to much,
ke ta agne tu kosmu ke ta
and the low-born of the world and the
unemna lato o -os ke

despised chose God and
onta ta me onta ina ta

are the things that not are that the things that
katargese
he might annul.
12
29
so that no man may boast before God.
opos me kavxesete pasa sar nopion tu -u

so that not might boast all flesh before God
30
But by His doing you dwell in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and
righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
avtu d mes st n risto iesu

out of him moreover you are in Christ Jesus
os gnee sofia emin apo -u

who was made wisdom to us from God.
dikeosne t ke agiasmos ke apoltrosis

righteousness and also sanctification and redemption
31
so that, just as the scriptures state, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD."
ina kaos ggrapte o kavomnos n

that as it has been written He that boasts in[the]
krio kavaso
Lord let him boast.
NASB E-Prime DFM with Interlinear Greek in IPA
Paul's Reliance upon the Spirit

1
And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom,
proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
kago lon pros mas adlfi elon u

And I having come to you brothers came not
ka proen logu e sofias

according to excellency of word or wisdom
katanglon min to msterion tu -u

proclaiming to you the testimony of God
13
2
For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
u gar krina ti edne min e

nothing indeed I decided anything among you if
me iesun riston ke tuton stavromnon

not Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
3
I stayed with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,
kago n asne-a ke n fobo ke n

And I in weakness and in fear and in
tromo polo gnomen pros mas

trembling much was with you
4
and my message and my preaching did not come in persuasive words of wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
ke o logos mu ke to kerma mu uk n peis

and the message of me and the preaching of me [was] not in persuasive
sofias logis al n apodee pnjumatos ke dnam-os

of wisdom words but in demonstration of [the] Spirit and of power
5
so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
ina e pistis mon me e n sofia

that the faith of you not might be in wisdom
anropon al n dname -u
of men but in power of God
6
Yet we do speak wisdom among those who have matured; a wisdom, however, not of this age
nor of the rulers of this age, who pass away;
sofian d lalumn n tis tle-is

wisdom moreover we speak among the mature
sofian d u tu i-onos tutu ud ton

wisdom moreover not the age of this nor of the
aronton tu i-onos tutu ton katargumnon

rulers the age of this who are coming to nought.
14
7
but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before
the ages to our glory;
ala lalumn -u sofian n msterio ten

But we speak of God wisdom in a mystery that
apokkrmnen en pro-orisn o os pro

hidden which predetermined God before
ton i-onon es doan emon

the ages for glory of us
8
the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;
en udes ton aronton tu i-onos tutu

which no one of the rulers the age of this
gnokn e gar gnosan uk an ton

has understood if indeed they had understood not anyhow the
krion tes does stavrosan

Lord of glory they would have crucified
9
but just as the scriptures stated,
"THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD,
AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN,
ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM."
ala kaos ggrapte

but as it has been written
ke pi kardian anropu uk anbe

and into heart of man not came
a ofalmos uk edn ke us uk ekusn

things which eye not saw and ear not heard
a etimasn o os tis agaposin

which prepared God for those that love
15
10
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the
depths of God.
emin d apkalpsn o os dia tu

to us moreover revealed [them] God by the
pnjumatos to gar pnjuma panta ravna ke

Spirit the indeed Spirit all things searches even
ta bae tu -u
the depths of God.
11
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which resides
in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.
tis gar idn anropon ta tu

who indeed knows of men the things of the
anropu e me to pnjuma tu anropu

man if not the spirit of the man
to n avto utos ke ta tu -u
which [is] in him ? so also the things of God
udes gnokn e me to pnjuma tu -u

no one knows if not the Spirit of God.
12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so
that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
emes d u to pnjuma tu kosmu

we moreover not the spirit of the world
labomn ala to pnjuma to k tu

received but the Spirit who[is] from
arisnta u ina edomn ta po

having been granted God that we might know the things by
tu -u emin
God to us.
16
13
which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by
the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
a ke lalumn uk n didaktis
which also we speak not in taught
anropines sofias logis al n didaktis

of human wisdom words but in [those] taught
pnjumatos pnjumatikis pnumatika snkrinonts

of [the] Spirit by spiritual[means] spiritual things communicating
14
But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they appear foolishness
to him; and he cannot understand them, because one can only spiritually appraise them.
psikos d anropos u dte ta

[the] natural moreover man not receives the things
tu pnjumatos tu -u moria gar avto

of the Spirit of God foolishness indeed to him
stin ke u dnate gnone oti

they are and not he is able know [them] because
pnjumatikos anakrinte
spiritually they are discerned
15
But he who has spiritual resources appraises all things, yet no one can appraise him.
o d pnjumatikos anakrine ta panta

he who [is] moreover spiritual judges all things
avtos d p udnos anakrinte

himself however by no one is judged.
16
For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT
HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.
tis gar gno nun kriu

who indeed did know [the] mind of [the] Lord ?
emes d nun ristu omen os smbibase avton

we however [the] mind of Christ have who will instruct him?
17
Foundations for Living

1
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to
infants in Christ.
kago adlfi uk edneen lalese min os

And I brother not was able to speak to you as
risto pnjumatikos al os sarkinis os nepi-is n

Christ to spiritual but as to fleshly as to little children in
2
I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you could not yet receive it. Indeed, even now
you dont seem able to consume it,
gala mas potisa u broma upo gar

Milk you I gave to drink not food not yet indeed
dnas al ud ti nn dynas
were you able but neither yet now are you able
3
for you still find yourself with fleshly drives. For since jealousy and strife exist among you,
dont you still have flesh, and do you not walk like mere men?
ti gar sarkiki st opu gar n min

still indeed fleshly you are where indeed among you
zelos ke ris ui sarkiki st ke kata

jealousy and strife not fleshly are you and according to
anropon pripatet
man walk?
4
For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," do you aspire to
more than mortal humanity?
otan gar lge tis go mn emi pavlu

when indeed might say one I indeed am of Paul
tros d go apolo uk anropi st?

another moreover I of Apollos not fleshly are you
18
5
What then does Apollos represent? And what does Paul represent? Servants through whom
you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.
ti un stin apolos ti d stin

ho then is Apollos ? who moreover is
pavlos diakoni di on pistjusat ke

paul ? servants through whom you believed also
kasto os o krios dokn

to each as the Lord gave?
6
I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth.
go ftjusa apolos potisn ala o

I planted Apollos watered but
-os e-uann
God gave growth.
7
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters consists of anything, but God causes
the growth.
ost ut o fjtjuon stin ti ut o

So that neither he that plants is anything nor he that
potizon al o auanon -os

waters but who gives growth God.
8
Now he who plants and he who waters show a unity of purpose; but each will receive his own
reward according to his own labor.
o ftju-on d ke o potizon n
he that plants moreover and he that waters one
esin kastos d ton idion mison

are each however the own reward
lemoste kata ton idion kopon

will receive according to the own labor
19
9
For we serve as God's fellow workers; you represent God's field, God's building.
-u gar smn snrgi -u gorgion -u

of God indeed we are fellow workers God's field God's
ikodome st
building you are.
10
According to the grace of God which He gave to me, like a wise master builder I laid a
foundation, and another built on it. But each man must show care how he builds on it.
kata ten arin tu -u ten doesan

According to the grace of God having been given
mi os sofos aritkton mlion eka

to me as a wise builder [the] foundation I have laid
pos alos d pikodome kastos d

how another however builds up each man however
blpto pikodome
let take heed he builds up.
11
For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which God laid, namely Jesus Christ.
mlion gar alon udes dnate ene

foundation indeed other no one is able to lay
para ton kemnon os stin lesus ristos

besides that which is laid which is Jesus Christ
12
Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
straw,
e d tis pikodome pi ton mlion

If moreover anyone builds upon the foundation
rson argron lius timius la

gold silver stones precious wood
orton kalamen
hay straw,
20
13
each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because will become revealed
with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.
kastu to rgon fanron gneste e gar

of each the work manifest will become the indeed
emra delose oti n pri apokalptte

day will declare [it] because in fire it is revealed
to ke kastu to rgon opjon stin pr

the and of each the work what sort it is fire
avto dokimase
itself will prove.
14
If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.
e tinos to rgon mne o

If of anyone the work abides which
pikodomesn mison lempste

he built up a reward he will receive
15
If any man's work burns up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will receive salvation, yet so
as through fire.
e tinos to rgon kataka-este zemioeste

If of anyone the work will be consumed he will suffer loss
avtos d soeste utos d os dia pros

he himself moreover will be saved thus however as through fire.
16
Do you not know that you represent a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in
you?
uk t oti na-os -u st ke to
not Know you that temple of God you are and the
pnjuma tu -u n min ike

Spirit of God in you dwells?
21
17
If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God has
holiness, you have holiness too.
e tis ton naon tu -u peri pre

If anyone the temple of God destroys will destroy
tuton o os o gar naos tu -u

him God indeed [the] temple of God
agios stin itins st mes

holy is which are you.
18
Let no man deceive himself If any man among you thinks himself wise in this age, he must
become foolish, so that he may become wise.
medes eavton apatato e tis doke

No one himself let deceive if anyone thinks [himself]
sofos ene n min n to e-oni tuto

wise to be among you in the age this
moros gnso ina gnete sofos

foolish let him become that he might be wise
19
For the wisdom of this world proves foolishness before God. For the scriptures state, "HE
CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS";
e gar sofia tu kosmu tutu moria para

the indeed wisdom the world of this foolishness with
to o stin ggrapte gar

God is it has been written indeed
o drasosmnos tus sofus

the [one] catches the wise
n te panurgia
in the craftiness.
22
20
and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY PROVE
USELESS."
ke palin
and again
krios ginoske tus dialogismus ton sofon

the Lord knows the thoughts of the wise
oti esin mate-i

that they are futile
21
So then let no one boast in men for all things belong to you,
ost medes kavaso n anropis panta

So that medes let boast in men all things
gar mon stin

indeed of you are
22
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to
come; all things belong to you,
ete pavlos ete apolos et kefas

Whether Pavlos or Apollos or Cephas
et kosmos et zoe ete anatos ete

or[the] world or life or death or
nstota et mlonta panta mon

prevent things or coming things all yours
23
and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.
mes d ristu ristos d -u

you moreover of Christ Christ moreover of God.
23
Servants of Christ
1
Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of
God.
utos emas logizo anropos os pertas

So of us let reckon a man as servants
ristu ke ikonomus msteron u

of Christ and stewards of mysteries of God's.
2
In this case, moreover, we require of stewards that one should prove trustworthy.
od lipon zetete n tis ikonomis

Moreover as to the rest it is required in the stewards
ina pistos tis jure

that faithful one be found.
3
But to me it seems a very small thing that you may examine me, or by any human court; in
fact, I do not even examine myself.
mi d es laiston stin ina f

me moreover to the smallest matter it is that by
mon anakrio e po anropins emras

you I be examined or by man's court
al ud mavton anakrino
But neither myself do I examine.
4
For I have not had consciousness of nothing against myself, yet I have not become acquitted
by this; but Lord alone examines me.
udn gar mavto s ni da al uk n tuto

nothing indeed in myself I am conscious but not by this
ddi-e-ome o d anakrinon m krios stin

have I been justified he who moreover judges me [the] Lord is
24
5
Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes, Who
will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of
men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God.
ost me pro keru ti krint os

So that not before [the] time anything judge until
an le o krios os ke
anyhow might have come the Lord who both
fanrose fotise ta krpta tu

will make manifest will bring to light the hidden things
skotus ke tas bulas ton kardion ke

of darkness and the motives of the hearts and
-u tot o penos gneste kasto apo tu -u

God then the praise will be to each from God.
6
Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes,
so that in us you may learn not to exceed what the scripture states, so that no one of you
will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.
tavta d adlfi mtsematisa es

these things moreover brothers I transferred to
mavton ke apolon di mas ina n

myself and apolos on account of you that in
emin maet to me pr a ggrapte

us you might learn not above what has been written

one has been written that not one for

you be puffed up against the other.

For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did
receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
tis gar s diakrine ti d es

who indeed you makes different What moreover have you
labs e d ke labs ti
you did receive if moreover also you did receive why
kavse os me labon
boast as not having received?
8
You have already become filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings
without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign
with you.
ede kkorsm ni st ede plutesat

Already satiated you are already you were enriched
oris emon basiljusat ke oflon g

apart from us you reigned and I wish surely
basiljusat ina ke emes min smbasiljusomn

you did reign that also we you might reign with.
9
For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we
have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
doko gar o -os emas tus apostolus

I think indeed God us apostles
satus apden os pianatius oti

last set forth as appointed to death that
atron gneemn to kosmo ke anglis ke anropis

a spectacle we became to the world both to angels and to men.
26
10
We have become fools for Christ's sake, but you show prudence in Christ; we seem weak,
but you seem strong; you seem distinguished, but we seem without honor.
emes mori dia riston mes d

We [are] fools on account of Christ you however
froni mi n risto emes asnes mes

wise in Christ we weak you
ato mi d isrimes indoi emes d

without honor however strong you honored we however.
11
To this present hour we have become both hungry and thirsty, and look poorly clothed, and
receive rough treatment, and have no homes;
ari tes arti oras ke penomn ke dipsomn

as far as the present hour both we hunger and thirst
ke gmnitju-omn ke kolafizoma ke astatumn

and are naked and are struck and wander without a home.
12
and we toil, working with our own hands; when we receive revilement, we bless; when we
receive persecution, we endure;
ke kopiomn rgazom ni tes idi-is rsin

and toil working with the own hands
lidorum ni julogumn diokom ni anoma

Railed at we bless persecuted we endure.
13
when we suffer slander, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the
dregs of all things, even until now.
dsfemum ni parakalumn os
slandered we entreat as[the]
prikaarmata tu kosmu gneemn panton

refuse of the world we are become of all [the]
pripsema os arti
off-scouring until presently.
27
14
I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
uk ntpon mas grafo tavta al os

Not shaming you do I write these things but as
tkna mu agapteta nuton

children my beloved I admonish [you]
15
For if you would have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in
Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
an gar mrius pedagogus et n

if indeed ten thousand tutors you should have in
risto al u polus patras n gar

Christ yet not many fathers in indeed
gnesa risto iesu dia tu juangliu go mas

did beget Christ Jesus through the gospel I you.
16
Therefore I exhort you, imitate me.
parakalo un mas mimete mu gins

I exhort therefore you imitators of me become.
17
For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who has become my beloved and faithful child in
the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which dwell in Christ, just as I teach
everywhere in every church.
dia tuto pmpsa min timoon os

On account of this I sent to you Timothy who

that [are] Lord who you will remind of the ways

of me in Christ Jesus as everywhere in

every church I teach.
28
18
Now some have become arrogant, as though I did not come to you.
os me romnu d mu pros mas

As to not coming now my to you
efsiesan tins
were puffed up some
19
But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those
who arrogantly use their power.

I will come however shortly to you if the
krios lese ke gnosome u ton logon

Lord wills and I will know not the word

of those who are puffed up but the power
20
For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.
u gar n logo he basile-a tu -u

not indeed in word the kingdom of God[is]
al n dname
but in power
21
What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
ti lt n rabdo lo pros mas

What desire you? with a rod I should come to you
e n agape pnjumati t pravtetos

or in love spirit moreover of gentleness?
29
Immorality Rebuked
1
We have actually heard reports that immorality exists among you, and immorality of such a
kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife.
olos alu-te n min porne-a ke ti-avte

Actually is reported among you sexual immorality and such
porne-a etis ud n tis nsin

sexual immorality which not even among the pagans
ost gneka tina tu patros en

so as wife one of the father to have.
2
You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this
deed you would remove him from your midst.
ke mes pfsiom ni st ke ui malon

And you puffed up are and not rather
pnesat ina are k msu mon

did mourn that might be taken out of midst of you
o to rgon tuto praas

the [one] the work this having done!
3
For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who
has so committed this, as though I had come in your midst.
go mn gar apon to somati paron

I indeed though being absent in body being present
d to pnjumati ede kkrika os

moreover in spirit already have judge as
paron ton utos tuto katrgasamnon

being present the [one] this having produced
30
4
In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you assemble, and I with you in spirit, with the power of
our Lord Jesus,
n to ononmati tu kyriu emon iesu snanton non

in the name of the Lord of us Jesus having been gathered together
ke tu emu pnjumatos sn te dname tu kriu emon iesu

and my spirit with the power of the Lord of us Jesus.
5
I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit
may receive salvation in the day of the Lord Jesus.
paradunak ton ti-uton to satana es olron

to deliver such a one to Satan for destruction
n tes sarkos ina to pnjuma

in of the flesh that the spirit
soe te emra tu kriu

might be saved the day of the of Lord.
6
Your boasting does not seem good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the wole
lump of dough?
u kalon to kavema mon uk t oti

Not good [is] the boasting of you not Know you that
mikra zme olon to frama z mi

a little leaven all the lump leavens?
7
Clean out the old leaven so that you may become a new lump, just as you have in fact become
unleavened. For Christ our Passover also suffered sacrifice.
kaarat ten pale-an zmen ina et

Cleanse out the old leaven that you might be
non frama kaos st az mi ke gar

a new lump as you are unleavened also indeed
to pasa emon te ristos

the Passover lamb of us was sanctified Christ .
31
8
Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and
wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
ost ortazomen me n zme pale-a

So that we might celebrate the feast not with leaven old
med n zme kakias ke ponerias al n

nor with leaven of malice and wickedness with
az mi s elikrine-as ke alee-as
unleavened [bread] of sincerity and of truth.
9
I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;
grapsa min n te pistole me

I wrote to you in the letter not
snanamignse pornis
to associate with the sexually immoral;
10
I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and
swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.
u pantos tis pornis tu kosmu tutu

not altogether with the sexually immoral the world of this
e tis pl-onk tes ke arpaxin e

or with the covetous and swindlers or
edololatres pe ofelt ara k tu kosmu len

idolaters since you ought then out of the world to go
11
But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he proves an
immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler
not even to eat with such a one.
nn d grapsa min me snanamignse

actually moreover I wrote to you not to associate with [him]
an tis adlfos onomazomnos e

if anyone brother designated be either
32
e pornos e plonktes e
or sexually immoral or covetous or
edolatres lidoros e msos e

idolater railer or a drunkard or
arpax to ti-uto med snsien

swindler with such a one not even to eat
12
For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who remain within the
church?
ti gar mi tus o krinen ui tus

What indeed [it is] to me those outside to judge? not those
so mes krint
within you do you judge?
13
But those who remain outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM
AMONG YOURSELVES.
tus d o o os krine arate

Those however outside God will judge you shall put out
ton ponron mon avton

the evil person from among yourselves that.
33
Lawsuits Discouraged
1
Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the
unrighteous and not before the saints?
Tolma tis mon pragma on pros ton

Dare anyone of you a matter having against the
tron krinse pi ton adikon ke ui

other go to law before the unrighteousness and not
pi ton agion
before the saints?
2
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If you will judge the world, do you
not feel competent to constitute the smallest law courts?
e uk t oti i e-i ton kosmon

or not know you that the saints the world
krinusin ke e n min krinte o

will judge? and if by you is judged the
kosmos anai-i st kriterion laiston

world unworthy are you of judgments the smallest?
3
Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?
uk t oti anglus krinumn metig

Not know you that angels we will judge ? much more than
biotika
things of this life?
34
4
So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who
have no respect in the church?
biotika mn un kriteria an et tus

Things of this life indeed then judgment [as to] if you have who
unemnus n te klesia tutus

are least esteemed in the church those
kaizt
set you up?
5
I say this to your shame. Doesnt any of you have the wisdom to decide between his brethren,
pros ntropen min lgo utos uk ni n

For shame to you I say this Thus not is there among
min udes sofos os dneste diakrine

you no one a wise [man] who will be able to decide
ana mson tu adlfu avtu

in between the brother of him ?
6
but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
ala adlfos mta adlfu krinte ke tuto

But brother with brother goes to law and this
pi apiston
before unbelievers!
7
Actually, then, you already suffer defeat, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not
rather allow yourself to become wronged? Why not rather allow yourselves to become
defrauded?
ede mn un olos tema min stin oti

Already indeed therefore altogether a defeat for you is that
krimata t m avton dia ti ui

lawsuits you have among one another because of why not
malon adikes dia ti ui malon apostres

rather suffer wrong ? because of why not rather be defrauded?
35
8
On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren.
ala mes adiket ke apostret ke tuto adlfus

But you do wrong and defraud and these things [to your] brothers!
9
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not
deceive yourselves; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
homosexuals,
e uk t oti adiki u basile-an

Or not know you that unrighteous ones [the] of God kingdom
u kleronomesusin me planas ut
not will inherit ? not Be misled neither
por ni ut edoloatre ut mi i
the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers
ut malaki ut arsnokite
nor effeminate nor homosexuals
10
nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the
kingdom of God.
ut klpte ut plonkte u msi

nor thieves nor covetous not drunkards
u lidori u harpags basile-an -u

nor slanderers nor swindlers [the] kingdom of God
kleronomesusin
will inherit.
11
Some of you used to have this description; but you became washed, but you became
sanctified, but you received justification in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the
Spirit of our God.
ke tavta tins et ala aplusas

And these things some you were but you were washed
ala egiaset ala dikeoet n to

but you were sanctified but you were justified in the
36
onomati tu kriu emon iesu ristu ke

name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ and
n to pnjumati tu -u emon
by the Spirit of the God of us
The Body Belongs to the Lord

12
All things prove lawful for me, but not all things profit. All things prove lawful for me, but I
will not become mastered by anything.
panta mi stin al u panta smfre

All things to me are lawful but not all things do profit
panta mi stin al uk go
all things to me are lawful but not I
usiasesome po tinos
will be mastered by any
13
Food belongs to the stomach and the stomach craves food, but God will do away with both
of them. Yet the body you should not use for immorality, but for the Lord, and the body
belongs to the Lord.
ta bromata te kilia ke he kilia tis

the foods for the belly and the belly the
bromasin o d os ke tavten ke tavta

for foods but God both this and these
katargese to d soma u te
will bring to nought and [the] body [is] not
to pornea ala to krio ke o

for the for sexual immorality but for the Lord and the
krios somati
Lord body.
37
14
Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power.
o d os ke ton krion egern ke

and God both the Lord raised up and
emas gere dia tes dnam-os avtu

us will raise out by the power of him
15
Do you not know that your bodies belong to the body of Christ? Shall I then take away the
members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never happen!
uk t oti ta somata mon mle

not Know you that the bodies of you members
ristu stin aras un ta mle tu

of Christ are ? Having taken then the members of the
ristu pi-eso pornes mle me g ni to

Christ shall I make [them] of a prostitute members never may it be!
16
Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with
her? For He says, "THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH."
e uk t oti o kolomnos te
Or not know you that he that is joined to the
porne n soma stin sonte gar fesin

prostitute one body is ? will be indeed he says,
i do es sarka mian
the two for flesh one
17
But the one who joins himself to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.
o d kolomnos to krio en pnjuma stin

he who however is joined to the Lord one spirit is.
38
18
Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits he commits outside the body, but the
immoral man sins against his own body.
fjugt ten pornean pan amartema o

Flee sexual immorality every sin which
an pise anropos ktos tu somatos

if might practice a man outside the body
idion stin o d pornjuon es to

own is he who however commits sexual immorality against the
soma amartane
body sins.
19
Or do you not know that your body you regard as a temple of the Holy Spirit which dwells in
you, whom you have from God, and that you do not belong to yourself?
e uk t oti to soma mon naos tu

Or not know you that the body of you a temple of the
n min agiu pnjumatos stin u t

in you Holy Spirit is which you have
apo -u ke uk st avton

20
For God bought you with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

you were bought indeed with a price glorify indeed God

pmjumati ymon atina stin tu -u

Teaching on Marriage
1
Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it proves wise for a man not to touch a
woman.
pri d on grapsat kalon

concerning moreover what things you wrote [it is] good
anropo gnekosme aptse

for a man a woman not to touch
2
But because of immoralities, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should
have her own husband.
dia d tas porneas kastos ten

because of however sexual immorality each one
e avtu gneka to ke kaste ton idion andra

of himself wife let have and each the own husband.
3
The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
te gyneki o aner ten ofelen apodidoto

To the wife the husband the duty let give
omjos d ke e gne to andri

likewise moreover also the wife to the husband
4
The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also
the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
e gne tu idiu somatos uk usiaze

The wife the own body not has authority over
ala o aner o mi os d ke o aner

but the husband likewise moreover also the husband
tu idiu somatos uk usiaze ala e gne

of the own body not has authority over but the wife.
40
5
Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote
yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of
your lack of self-control.
me apostrete alelus e meti an k

Not deprive one another if not anyhow by
smfonu pros keron ina solaset

consent for because a season that you might be at leisure
to te prosjue ke palin pi avto

the for prayer and again together same
et ina me peraze mas o Satanas

come together that not might tempt you Satan
dia ten akrasian mon

because of the lack of self control of you
6
But this I say by way of concession, not of command.
tuto d lgo kata sngnomen u kat

this moreover I say by way of permission not by way of
pitagen
command.
7
Yet I wish that all men could live as I do. However, each man has his own gift from God, one
in this manner, and another in that.
lo d pantas anropus ene os ke

Yet I wish moreover all men to be as even
mavton ala kastos idion e arisma k

myself but each his own has gift from
-u o mn utos o d utos
God one indeed so one moreover so
41
8
But I say to the unmarried and to widows that they should remain even as I.
lgo d tis agamis ke tes eres

I say moreover to the unmarried and to the widows
kalon avtis -an menosin os kago

[it is] good for them if they should remain as even I.
9
But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it shows better sense to marry than to
burn with passion.
e d uk nkrarju-onte gamesatosan
If moreover not they have self-control let them marry
kreton gar stin gamese e pjruse

better indeed it is to marry than to burn with passion.
10
But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her
husband
tis d ggamekosin paranglo uk go

to moreover married I warn not I
ala o krios gneka apo andros me

but the Lord wife from husband not
orisene
to be separated.
11
(but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else become reconciled to her
husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.
an d ke orise mnto agamos

if moreover also she be separated let her remain unmarried
e to andri katalgeto ke andra

or to the husband be reconciled and husband
gneka me afine
wife not to leave.
42
12
But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who does not believe, and
she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.
tis d lipis lgo go u o

to the moreover rest say I not the
krios e tis adlfos gneka e

Lord if any brother wife has
apiston ke avte snjudoke iken mt avtu

an unbelieving and she consents to dwell with him

not let him leave her.
13
And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must
not send her husband away.
ke gne e tis e andra apiston ke

And a woman if any has a husband unbelieving and
utos snjudoke iken mt me afito

he consents to dwell with her not let her leave
ton andra
the husband
14
For the unbelieving husband receives sanctification through his wife, and the unbelieving
wife receives sanctification through her believing husband; for otherwise people would
consider your children unclean, but now people regard them as holy.
egiaste gar o aner o apistos n te

Is sanctified for the husband unbelieving in the

wife and is sanctified the wife unbelieving
mon n to adlfo pe ara ta tkna

of you in the husband else then the children
akaarta stin nn d agia stin

unclean are now however holy they are
43
15
Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister has not placed
themselves under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.
e d o apistos orizte
If moreover the unbeliever separated himself
orizo u ddulote o adlfos

let him separate himself not is under bondage the brother
ti-utis e e adlfe n tis n

such [cases] or the sister in in

moreover peace has called us God.
16
For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know,
O husband, whether you will save your wife?
ti gar idis gne ton andra

how indeed know you O wife if the husband
soses e ti idis aner e ten

you will save or how know you O husband if the
gneka soses
wife you will save?
17
Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him
walk. And so I direct in all the churches.
e me kasto os mrisn o krios

if not to each as divided the Lord
kaston os kklekn o os utos

each as has called God so
pase pripateto ke utos n tes

all let him walk and thus in the

churches I order
44
18
Did any man receive a calling when he had already undergone circumcision? He should not
try to become uncircumcised. Has anyone receives calling in uncircumcision? He does
not have to become circumcised.
prittmemnos tis klee me

Having been circumcised any one was called not
pispaso n akrobstia kklete tis

let him be uncircumcised in uncircumcision was called any one
me pritmnso
not let him be circumcised.
19
Circumcision equates to nothing, and uncircumcision equates to nothing, but what matters
consists of the keeping of the commandments of God.
e pritome udn stin ke e akrobstia

Circumcision nothing is and uncircumcision
udn stin ala teresis ntolon -u

nothing is but keeping [the] commandments of God .
20
Each man must remain in that condition in which he received his calling.
kastos n te klese e klee n tavte mnto

Each in the calling in which he was called in this let him abide
21
Did you receive your calling while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you can become
free, rather do that.
dulos klees me si mlto al

servant [being] were you called not to you let it be a care but
e ke dnasi ljuros gnse malon

if moreover you are able free to become rather
rese
use [it].
45
22
For he who the Lord called when he still served as a slave, becomes the Lord's freedman;
likewise he who received his calling as a free person becomes Christ's slave.
o gar n krio klees dulos

the [one] indeed in [the] Lord having been called [being] a slave
apljuros kriu stin o mi os o

a freedman of [the] Lord is likewise the [one]

free having been called a slave is of Christ.
23
God bought you with a price; do not become slaves of men.

With a price you were bought not become servants
anropon
of men
24
Brethren, each one should remain with God in that condition in which he received his
calling.

Each wherein he was called brothers in

that let him abide with God.
25
Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who
by the mercy of the Lord proves trustworthy.
pri d ton parnon pitagen kriu

concerning moreover the virgins commandment of [the] Lord
uk o gnomen d didomo os
not I have judgment however I give as
el-emnos po kriu pistos ene

having received mercy from [the]Lord faithful to be
46
26
I think then that this seems good in view of the present distress, that it seems good for a man
to remain as he finds himself now.
nomizo un tuto kalon paren dia ten

I think then this good is because of the
nstosan anaken oti kalon anropo to utos ene

present necessity that [it is] good for a man so to be.
27
Have you bound yourself to a wife? Do not seek release. Have you released yourself from a
wife? Do not seek a wife.
ddse gyneki me zete lsin apo

have you been bound to a wife not seek to be loosed from
gnekos me zte gneka

a wife ? not seek a wife
28
But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such
will have trouble in this life, and I have tried to spare you.
an d ke gameses u emarts
if however also you might have married not you did sin

and if might have married the virgin not

she did sin tribulation however in the flesh will have

such I moreover you spare.
29
But this I say, brethren, the time has shortened, so that from now on those who have wives
should live as though they had none;
to d femo adlfi o keros

this moreover I say brothers the season
sstalmnos stin to lipon ina ke i

shortened is [it] remains that even those
onts gnekas os me onts osin

having wives as not having be
47
30
and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did
not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
ke i kle-onts os me kle-onts ke
and those weeping as not weeping and
i eronts os me eronts ke i
those rejoicing as not rejoicing and those
agorazonts os me katonts
buying as not possessing
31
and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this
world passes away.
ke i rom ni ton kosmon os me kata rom ni

and those using the world as not using [it] as their own
parage gar to sema tu kosmu tuto

passes away indeed the present form the world of this
32
But I want you to have freedom from concern. One who remains unmarried has the
opportunity to concern himself about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
lo d mas amrimnus ene o agamos

I wish moreover you without care to be the unmarried
mrimna ta tu kriu pos arese to krio

cares for the things of the Lord how he shall please the Lord.
33
but one who marries concerns himself about the things of the world, how he may please his
wife,
o d gamesas mrimna ta tu
the[one] however having been married cares for the things of the

world how he shall please the wife

and his interests become divided. The woman who has not yet married, and the virgin,
concerns herself about the things of the Lord, that she may demonstrate holiness both in
body and spirit; but one who has married concerns herself about the things of the world,
how she may please her husband.
ke mmriste ke e gne e agamos ke

and divided are both the woman unmarried and
e parnos mrimna ta tu kriu ina

the virgin cares for the things of the Lord that
e agia ke to somati ke to
she might be holy both things in body and things
pnjumati e d gamesasa
in spirit the [one] however having been married

how cares for the things of the world she shall please the husband.
35
This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what we
consider appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.
tuto d pros to mon avton smforon

this moreover for the of you yourselves benefit
lgo u ina broon min pibalo ala

I say not that a restraint you I might cast before but

without distraction for what [is] seemly and

waiting on the Lord.
36
But if any man thinks that he acts unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she has
passed her youth, and if it must take place so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin;
let her marry.
e d tis asemonen pi ten parnon

if moreover anyone behaving unseemly to the virgin
avtu nomize an e prakmos ke

of him thinks if he be beyond[his] prime and
49
utos ofele ginse o le pi-eto u

so it ought to be what he wills let him do not
amartane gametosan
he does sin let them marry.
37
But he who stands firm in his heart, feeling no constraint, but has authority over his own
will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, he will do
well.
os d stekn n te kardia avtu

he who however stands in the heart of him

has over the own will and this
avtu kkrikn n te idia kardia

of himself has judged in the own heart

to keep virginity well he does
38
So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well, and he who does
not give her in marriage will do better.
ost ke o gamizon ten avtu parnon

So that also he that gives the own virgin
kalos pi-e ke o me gamizon kreson pi-ese

well does and he that not gives better does
39
A wife has bound herself as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she has the
freedom to marry whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

A wife is bound for as long as time may live the husband

But in my opinion she remains happier if she remains single; and I think that I also have the

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge

Concerning moreover the things sacrificed to idols we know indeed

If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know;

if anyone thinks to have known anything not yet he has yet known

but if anyone loves God, God knows him.

if however anyone loves God he is known by him.

Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that we dont recognize
any such thing as an idol in the world, and that we have only one God.
pri tes brosos un ton edoloton

concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols

we know that nothing an idol [is] in [the] world and

For even if people have so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed people have

yet for us we have but one God, the Father, from whom come all things and we exist for Him;

However not all men have this knowledge; but some, having become accustomed to the idol
until now, eat food as if we had sacrificed to an idol; and their weak conscience becomes
defiled.

But not in all[is] this knowledge some moreover

8
But food will not commend us to God; we do not make ourselves neither the worse if we do
not eat, nor the better if we do eat.

food however us not does commend to God

neither if not we might eat do we come short neither if

But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the
weak.

be careful however lest somehow the right of you

this an occasion of stumbling become to those being weak.
10
For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, will not his
conscience, if he has weakness, have the boldness to eat things sacrificed to idols?

if indeed anyone sees you who have knowledge

For through your knowledge he who has a weakness becomes ruined, the brother for whose
sake Christ died.

is destroyed moreover this weak person through

12
And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it has
weakness, you sin against Christ.

thus moreover sinning against the brothers

Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not

Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not

these things?

Not according to a man those things do I speak the law

For the scriptures read in the Law of Moses, "YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX
WHILE HE THRESHES" God does not concern Himself about oxen, does He?

in indeed the of Moses law it has been written not you will muzzle

an ox treading out grain not For the is there care with God?
56

Or does He speak altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it appeared in scripture, because
the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the
crops.
e di emas pantos lge di emas gar

or because of us altogether says he [it] for sake of us indeed

If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right,
but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar?

So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.

So also the Lord did order to those the gospel

proclaiming of the gospel to live.

But I have used none of these things. And I do not write these things so that it happen in my

For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have a stewardship
entrusted to me.
e gar kon tuto praso mison o e d akon

if indeed willingly this I do a reward I have if however unwillingly

What then constitutes my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel
without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

What then of me is the reward ? That in proclaiming the gospel

more.

To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as

but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I
myself will not receive disqualification.

ristos stin kfale d gnekos o aner kfale d

Christ is [the] head moreover of [the] woman [is] the man [the]head moreover
tu ristu o os
of Christ God.
4
Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.
pas aner prosjuomnos e profetjunon kata kfales

Every man praying of prophesying [anything] on [his] head
on katisne ten kfalen avtu

having puts to shame the head of him.
5
But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her
head, for she behaves the same as the woman who shaves her head.
pasa d gne prosjuomne e profetju-usa

every moreover woman praying or prophesying
akatakalpto te kfale ka tesne ten kfalen avtes

revealed with the head puts to shame the head same
remne n gar stin ke to avto te

without having been shaven one indeed it is and the same the
70
6
For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it seems
disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her
head.
e gar u katakalptte gne ke keraso e

if indeed not be concealed a woman also let her be shaved if [it be]
d esron to gyneki kease e rase

moreover shameful to a woman to be shaved or to be shaven
katakalptso
let her be concealed.
7
For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he reflects the image and glory of God;
but the woman reflects the glory of man.
aner mn gar uk ofele katakalptse ten kfalen ekon

man truly indeed not ought to have concealed the head image
ke doa -u paron e gne d doa andros stin

and glory of God being the woman however glory of man is.
8
For man does not derive from woman, but woman from man;
u gar stin aner k gnekosala gne andros

not indeed is man of woman but woman of man
9
for indeed man did not become created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.
ke gar uk ktise aner dia ten gneka ala gne

truly indeed not was created man on account of the woman but woman
dia ton andra

on account of the man.
10
Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
dia tuto ofele e gne usian en pi tes

Because this ought the woman authority to have on the
kfales dia tus anglus

head on account of the angels
71
11
However, in the Lord, neither does woman make herself independent of man, nor does man
make himself independent of woman.
plen ut gne oris andros ut aner oris

However neither woman apart from man nor man apart from
gnekos n krio
woman in [the] Lord.
12
For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman;
and all things originate from God.
ospr gar e gne k tu andros utos ke o

for as indeed the woman of the man[is] so also the
aner dia tes gnekos ta d panta k tu u

man by the woman [is] the moreover all things of God
13
Judge for yourselves: does it seem proper for a woman to pray to God with her head
uncovered?
n min avtis krinat prpon stin gneka

In you yourselves judge becoming is it for a woman
akatakalpton to o prsjuse
revealed to God to pray?
14
Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it dishonors him,
ud e fsis avte didaskae mas oti aner mn an

not even than nature itself does teach you that a man indeed if
koma atimia avto stin

he has long hair a dishonor to him it is
15
but if a woman has long hair, it glorifies her? For her hair serves as her covering.
gne d an koma doa avte stin oti e

A woman however if she has long hair glory to her it is for the
kome anti pribolj-u ddote avte

long hair instead for a covering is given to her.
72
16
But if one feels inclined to act contentiously, we have no other practice, nor have the
churches of God.
e d tis doke filonekos ene emes ti-avten snee-an

if moreover anyone thinks contentious to be we such custom
uk omn ude e klese tu -u

not have nor the churches of God.
17
But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the
better but for the worse.
tuto d paranglon uk peno oti uk es

in this moreover charging [you] not I do praise [you] that not for
to kreson ala es to eson snrs

the better but for the worse you come together.
18
For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among
you; and in part I believe it.
proton mn gar snromnon mon n klesia aku-o

First indeed for coming together you in church I hear
sismata n min paren ke mros ti pistju

divisions among you to be and part it I believe
19
For there must also develop factions among you, so that those who God approves may
become evident among you.
de gar ke erses n min ene ina ke i

there must indeed also factions among you be that also the
doki mi fanri gnonte n min

approved evident might become among you.
20
Therefore when you meet together, you do not do so to eat the Lord's Supper,
snrmnon un mon pi to avto uk stin

Coming therefore you together one place not it is
kriakon depnon fagen

[the] Lord's supper to eat.
73
21
for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one feels hungry and another gets
drunk.
kastos gar to idion depnon prolambane n to

one indeed the own supper takes first in
fagen ke os mn pena os d mje

eating and one indeed is hungry one moreover is drunk
22
What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of
God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In
this I will not praise you.
me gar ikias uk t es to si-en ke pinen

no indeed houses not have you for eating and drinking?
e tes klesias tu -u katafronet ke ka tesnt

or the church of God do you despise and put to shame
tus me ontas ti epo min penso mas

them that not have? What should I say ? shall I praise you
n tuto uk peno !
in this? not do I praise !
The Lord's Supper

23
For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the
night in which He suffered betrayal took bread;
go gar parlabon apo tu kri-u o ke pardika

I indeed received from the Lord that which also I delivered
min oti o krios iesus n te nkti e

to you that the Lord Jesus in the night in which
pardidto labn arton

he was betrayed took bread.
74
24
and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This represents My body, which I give
for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
ke juaristesas klasn ke epn tuto mu stin to

and having given thanks he broke [it] and said this of me is the
soma to pr ymon tuto pi-ete es ten mn

body for you this do in of me
anamnesin
remembrance.
25
In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup represents the new
covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
osavtos ke to poterion mta to depnese lgon

In like manner also the cup after having supped saying
tuto to poterion e kene diaeke stin n to

This cup the new covenant is in
men mo emati tuto pi-et osakis an pinet

of me my blood this do as often as if you might drink [it]
es ten anamnesin
in the remembrance.
26
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He
comes.
osakis gar an siet ton arton tuton ke to

as often as indeed if your might eat bread this and the
poterion pinet ton anaton tu kriu katanglit

cup might drink the death of the Lord you proclaim
aris u le
until that he might come
75
27
Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall
have guilt of the body and the blood of the Lord.
ost os an sie ton arton e pine to

So that whoever anyhow should eat the bread or should drink the
poterion tu kriu anios noos ste tu somatos

cup of the Lord unworthily guilty will be of the body
ke tu ematos tu kriu
and of the blood of the Lord.
28
But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he will eat of the bread and drink of the
cup.
dokimazto d anropos avton ke utos k tu

let examine moreover a man himself and thus of the
artu sito ke k tu poteriu pineto

bread let him eat and of the cup let him drink.
29
For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the
body rightly.
o gar sion ke pinon krima avto si-e ke pine

he who indeed eats and drinks judgment to himself eats and drinks
me diakrinon to soma
not discerning the body.
30
For this reason many among you have become weak and sick, and a number sleep.
dia tuto n min poli asnes ke arosti

Because of this among you many [are] weak and sick
ke kimonte ika ni
and are fallen asleep many
31
But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not receive judgment.
e d avtus dikrinomn uk an krinoma

If for ourselves we scrutinized not anyhow we should be judged.
76
32
But when we receive judgment, we receive discipline by the Lord so that we will not receive
condemnation along with the world.
krinom ni d po tu kriu pedju-oma ina me

Being judged however by the Lord we are disciplined that not
sn to kosmo katakriomn
with the world we should be condemned.
33
So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
ost adlfi mu snrom ni es to fagen alelus

So that brothers of me coming together in order to eat one another
kds
wait for.
34
If anyone hungers, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The
remaining matters I will arrange when I come.
e tis pena n iko sieto ina me es krima

if anyone be hungry at home let him eat that not for judgment
snrese ta d lipa os an elo

you might come together and [the] other things as soon as anyhow I might come
diataome
I will set in order.
The Use of Spiritual Gifts

1
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to remain ignorant.
pri d ton pnjumatikon adlfi u lo mas

concerning moreover spiritual [gifts] brothers not I do wish you
agno-en
to be ignorant
77
2
You know that when you lived as pagans, they led you to the mute idols, however you
became led.
t oti ot ne et pros ta edola ta afona

You know that when Gentiles you were to idos mute
os an egs apagom ni
as anyhow you migth be led led away
3
Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus
receives a curse"; and no one can say, "I acknowledge Jesus as Lord," except by the Holy
Spirit.
dio gnorizo min oti udes n pnjumati -u lalon

Therefore I give to know you that no one in [the] Spirit of God speaking
lge anama iesus ke udes dnate epen krios

says accursed [is] Jesus; and no one can say Lord
iesus e me n pnjumati agio

Jesus if not in [the] Spirit Holy.
4
Now there exist varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.
dierses d arismaton esin to d avto pnjuma

varieties moreover of gifts there are but [the] same Spirit ;
5
And there exist varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.
ke di-erses diakonion esin ke o avtos krios ;

and varieties of services there are but the same Lord
6
There exist varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.
ke diajrses nrgematon esin ke o d avtos

and varieties of working there are but the but same
os o nrgon ta panta n pasin

God who works the all things in all.
78
7
But to each one God gives the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
kasto d didote e fanrosis tu onjumatos pros

to each moreover is given the manifestation of the Spirit for
to smfron
the common good.
8
For to one the Lord gives the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of
knowledge according to the same Spirit;
o mn gar dia tu pnjumatos didote logos sofias

to one truly indeed by the Spirit is given a word of wisdom;
alo d logos gnosos kata to avto pnjuma

to another moreover a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;
9
to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
tro pistis n to avto pnjumati ala d

and to a different one faith in the same Spirit to another moreover
arismata iamaton n to ni pnjumati

gifts of healing in the same Spirit
10
and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the
distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the
interpretation of tongues.
alo d nrgemata dnam-on ala d profete-a

to another moreover working of miracles to another moreover prophecy
alo d diaskrises pnjumaton tro gne

to another moreover discerning of spirits and to a different one kinds
gloson alo d rmne-a gloson

of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues.
79
11
But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just
as He wills.
panta d tavta nrge to n ke to avto

all moreover these things works the one and the same
pnjuma diajrun idia kasto kaos bulte

Spirit , apportioning separately to each as he wills.
12
For even as the body consists of one entity and yet has many members, and all the members
of the body, though they have grown to many, constitute one body, so also does Christ.
kaapr gar to soma n stin ke mle pola e

even as for the body one is and members many has
panta d ta mle tu somatos pola onta n

all moreover the members of the body many being one
stin soma utos ke o ristos

are body ; so also Christ.
13
For by one Spirit we all received baptism into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether
slaves or free, and we all drank of one Spirit.
ke gar n ni pnjumati emes pants es n soma

also indeed, by one Spirit we all into one body
baptisemn et iude-i et lns et duli et

were baptized whether jews or Greeks whether slaves or
eljuri ke pants n pnjuma potsemn

free and all one Spirit were made to drink.
14
For the body does not constitute one member, but many.
ke gar to soma uk stin n mlos ala pola

also indeed the body not is one member but many.
80
15
If the foot says, "Because I cannot function as a hand, I do not belong to the body," it does
not for this reason become any the less a part of the body.
an epe o pus oti uk emi er uk emi k

If should say the foot Because not I am a hand not I am of
tu somatos u para tuto uk stin k tu somatos

the body not on account of this is it is it of the body.
16
And if the ear says, "Because I do not function as an eye, I do not belong to the body," it
does not for this reason consist of any the less a part of the body.
ke an epe to us oti uk emi ofalmos uk

and if should say the ear Because not I am an eye , not
emi k tu somatos u para tuto uk stin k tu somatos

I am of the body : not on account of this not as if of the body.
17
If the whole body functioned as an eye, where would the hearing come from? If the whole
consisted of hearing, where would the sense of smell come from?
e olon to soma ofalmos pu e akoe e

If all the body [were] an eye where the hearing ? if
olon akoe pu e osfresis

[the] wole hearing where the smelling?
18
But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.
nni d o os to ta mle n kaston avton
now however God set the members one each of them
n to somati kaos elesn

in the body as he desired.
19
If they all consisted of one member, where would the body form?
e d en ta panta n melos pu to soma

if moreover were all one member where the body?
20
But now there exist many members, but one body.
nn d pola mn mle n d soma

now however many even [are the] members one however body.
81
21
And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I
have no need of you."
u dnate d o ofalmos epen te eri re-an

not is able moreover the eye to say to the hand Need
su uk o e palin he kfale tis posin re-an

of you not I have or again the head to the feet Need

of you not I have.
22
On the contrary, it seems much truer that the members of the body which seem to have
weakness have necessity;
ala polo malon ta dokunta mle tu somatos

But much rather the which seem members of the body
asnstra paren anakea stin

weaker to be necessary are.
23
and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more
abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,
ke a dokumn atimotra ene tu somatos tutis

and thosewhich we think more void of honor to be of the body these
timmen prisotran primn ke ta asemona emon

honor more abundant we bestow and the unpresentable [ parts] of us
jusemosnen prisotran e
decorum more abundant have
24
whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the
body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,
ta d jusemona emon u re-an e ala o

and [the] presentable [parts] of us, no need have But
os snkrasn to soma to strumno
God tempered together the body to[parts] that being deficient
prisotran dus timn

more abundant having given honor
82
25
so that there may exist no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care
for one another.
ina me e sisma n to somati ala to avto

that not there might be division in the body but the same
pr alelon mrimnosin ta mle

for one another might have concern the members.
26
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member receives honor, all
the members rejoice with it.
ke et pase n mlos smpase panta ta mle

And if suffers one member suffers with[it] all the members;
ete doazte n mlos snere panta ta mle

if be glorified one member rejoice with[it] all the members
27
Now you belong to Christ's body, and individually members of it.
mes d st soma ristu ke mle k mrus

you moreover are [the] body of Christ and members in particular.
28
And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.
ke us mn to o os n te klesia proton
And certain indeed did set God in the church first
apostolus djutron profetas triton didaskalus

apostles secondly prophets thirdly teachers ;
antilemoses peta dnames peta arismata iamaton

helping then miracles then gifts of healing ;
kbrneses gne gloson

administering various kinds of tongues.
83
29
All do not function as apostles, do they? All do not function as prophets, do they? All do not
function as teachers, do they? All do not work miracles, do they?
me pants apostoli me pants profete me pants

not [are] all apostles ? not all prophets ? not all

teachers ? not [have] all miracles?
30
All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not
interpret, do they?

not all gifts have of healings? not all do speak
lalusin me pants di-rmenju-usin

31
But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way.
zelut d ta arismata ta mezona

Be desirous however the gifts greater
ke ti ka prbolen odon min deknymi

and yet by more surpassing a way to you I show.
The Excellence of Love

1
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I become a noisy gong
or a clanging cymbal.
an tes gloses ton anropon lalo ke ton anglon

if with the tongues the of men I speak and of angels
agapen d me o ggona alkos on e

love however not have I have become brass sounding or
kmbalon alalazon
a cymbal clanging.
84
2
If I become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal, have the gift of prophecy, and know all
mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do
not have love, I become nothing.
ke an o profete-an ke edo ta msteria panta

and if I have prophecy and know the mysteries all
ke pasan ten gnosin ke an o pasan ten pistin

and all the knowledge and if I have all the faith
ost ore mistane agapen d me o un emi

so as mountains to remove love however not have nothing I am.
3
And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to become
burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
kan psomiso panta ta paronta mu ke an parado

and if I give away all the possessions of me and if I deliver up
to soma mu ina kaesome agapen d me o

the body of me that I might be burned love however not have
udn oflume
nothing I am profited.
4
Love has patience, love has kindness and does not act jealously; love does not brag and does
not become arrogant,
e agape makrome restju-te e agape u zeli

Love has patience is kind love not is envious
e agape u prprju-te u fsi-ute

love not is boastful not is puffed up.
5
does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, does not become provoked, does not take
into account a wrong suffered,
uk asemone u zete ta -avtes u paronte

not acts unseemly not seeks the things of its own not is easily provoked,
u logizte to kakon
not thinks evil.
85
6
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
u ere pi te adikia snere d te alee-a

not rejoices at unrighteousness rejoices with however the truth;
7
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
panta stge panta pistju-e panta lpize panta pomne

all things bears all things believes all things hopes all things endures.
8
Love never fails; but if one has gifts of prophecy, they will disappear; if people have
tongues, they will cease; if they have knowledge, it will dissipate.
e agape udpot pipte et d profete-e katargeesonte

Love never fails if moreover prophesies they will be done away
ete glose pavsonte ete gnosis katargeeste

whether tongues they will cease; whether knowledge it will pass away.
9
For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
k mrus gar ginoskomn ke k mrus profetju-omn

in part indeed we know and in part we prophesy ;
10
but when the perfect comes, the partial will disappear.
otan d le to tle-on to k mrus katargeste

when however might come that which is perfect that in part will be done away.
11
When I lived a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when
I became a man, I did away with childish things.
ot emen nepios lalun os nepios fronun os

When I was a child I spoke as a child I thought as
nepios logizmen os nepios ot ggona aner

a child, I reasoned as a child; but when I became a man,
katergeka ta tu nepi-u
I did away with the things of the child
86
12
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will
know fully just as I also have become fully known.
blpomn gar arti di soptru n ajnigmati tot

we see indeed presently through a glass in obscurity; then
d prosopon pros prosopon arti ginosko k

moreover face to face presently I know in
mrus tot d pignosome kaos ke pgnosen

part then moreover I will know as also I have been fully known.
13
But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these consists of love.
nni d mne pistis lpis agape ta tria tavta

now moreover abides faith hope love the things three these
mezon d tuton e agape

greatest moreover of these [is] love.
Prophecy a Superior Gift

1
Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
dikt ten agapen zelut d ta pnjumatika malon

Pursue love ; be desirous of moreover spiritual gifts especially
d ina profetju-et
moreover that you might prophesy.
2
For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands,
but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.
o gar lalon glose uk anropis lale ala

the [one who] indeed speaks with a tongue not to men speaks but
o udes gar aku-e pnjumati d lale msteria

to God; no one indeed hears in spirit however he speaks mysteries.
87
3
But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.
o d profetju-on anropis lale ikodomen, ke

he who however prophesies to men speaks [for] building up and
paraklesin ke paramian
encouragement and consolation.
4
One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church.
o lalon glose -avton ikodome o d

He that speaks with a tongue himself builds up he who however
profetju-on klesian ikodome

prophesies [the] church builds up.
5
Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and
greater proves one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets,
so that the church may receive edifying.
lo d pantas mas lalen gloses malon d ina

I desire moreover all you to speak with tongues rather however that
profetju-et mezon d o profetju-on e o lolon

you should prophesy; greater moreover [is] he that prophesies than he that speaks
gloses ktos e me dirmenju-e ina e klesia

with tongues except if not he should interpret that the church
ikodomen labe
building up might receive.
6
But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak
to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?
nn d adlfi -an lo pros mas gloses lalon

now moreover brothers if I come to you with tongues speaking
ti mas ofleso an me min laleso e n

what you will I profit if not to you I shall speak either in
didae apokalpse e n gnose e n profete-a

teaching? revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy .
88
7
Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a
distinction in the tones, how will people know what one plays on the flute or on the harp?
omos ta apsa fonen didonta ete avlos ete kiara

Even lifeless things a sound giving whether flute or harp
an diastolen tis fongis me do pos gnoseste

if distinction to the sounds not they give how will be known
to aulumnon e to kiarizomnon
what [is] being piped or being harped?
8
For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
ke gar -an adelon salpinx fonen do tis

also indeed if an indistinct a trumpet sound gives who
paraskjuaste es polmon
will prepare himself for battle?
9
So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that which sounds clear, how will people
know what you speak? For you will speak into the air.
utos ke mes dia tes gloses an me jusemon

So also you by means of the tongue if not an intelligible
logon dot pos gnoseste to lalumnon ss gar

speech you give how will be known that being spoken ? you will be indeed
es ara lalunts
into [the] air speaking.
10
There exist, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind exists
without meaning.
tosavta e ti gne fonon esin n kosmo ke

So many if it may be kinds of languages are in [the] world and
udn afonon
none without meaning.
89
11
If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will seem to the one who speaks a
barbarian, and the one who speaks will seem a barbarian to me.
an un me edo ten dnamin tes fones some to

If therefore not I know the power of them sound I will be to him that
lalunti barbaros ke o lalon n mi

speaks a barbarian and he that speaks for me.
12
So also you, since you desire spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.
utos ke mes pe zelote st pnjumaton pros ten

So also you since zealous you are of spiritual gifts for the
ikodomen tes klesias zetete ina prisju-et

building up of the church seek that you might abound.
13
Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.
dio o lalon glose prosjuso ina drmenju-e

Therefore he that speaks with a tongue let him pray that he might interpret.
14
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind proves unfruitful.
an gar prosjuome glose to pnjuma mu

if indeed I pray with a tongue the spirit of me
prosjute o d nus mu akarpos stin

prays but [the] mind of me unfruitful is.
15
What constitutes the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind
also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.
ti un stin prosjuome to pnjumati prosjuome

What then is it? I will pray with the Spirit; I will pray
d ke to no-i psalo to pnjumati psalo

however also with the mind I will sing praise with the Spirit I will sing praise
d ke to no-i
however also with the mind.
90
16
Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted
say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you say?
pe an juloges n pnjumati o anapleron ton topon

Else if you bless with the spirit he that fills the place
tu idiotu pos re to amen pi te se

of the uninstructed how will he say the Amen your
juaristia pede ti lges uk idn

thanksgiving since what you say not he knows?
17
For you give thanks well enough, but the other person does not receive edification.
s mn gar kalos juaristes al o tros uk ikodomete

you truly indeed well give thanks but the other not is built up.
18
I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all;
juaristo to -o panton mon malon gloses lalo

I thank God, than all of you more with tongues speaking;
19
however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct
others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
ala n klesia lo pnt logus to no-i mu

but in [the] church I desire five words with mind of me
lalese ina ke alus kateeso e mri-us logus n glose

to speak that also others I might instruct than ten thousand words in a tongue
Instruction for the Church

20
Brethren, do not act like children in your thinking; yet in evil imitate infants, but in your
thinking demonstrate maturity.
adlfi me pidia gins tes fresin ala te kakia

Brothers not children be in the minds but in the [regard] to evil
nepiazt tes d fresin tle-i gins

be little children; in the [regard to] however thinking full grown be .
91
21
In the Law the scripture says, "BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS
OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL
NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord.
n to nomo ggrapte oti

In the law it has been written,
n troglosis ke n elsin tron

By other tongues and by lips other
laleso to lao tuto ke ud utos esakusonte mu lege krios

I will speak to the people this and not even thus me says the Lord.
22
So then tongues serve as a sign, not to thosewho believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy
serves as a sign, not to unbelievers but to thosewho believe.
ost e glose es seme-on esin u tis

So that tongues for a sign are not to those that
pistju-usin ala tis apistis e d profete-a

believe but to the unbelievers; those who moreover prophecy,
u tis apistis ala tis pistju-usin

not to the unbelievers but to those that believe.
23
Therefore if the wole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men
or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you appear mad?
an un snle e klesia ole pi to avto

If therefore comes together the church wole wole the place
ke pants lolosin gloses eslosin d idiote

and all should speak with tongues come in however uninstructed ones
e apisti uk rusin oti majns

or unbelievers not will they say that you are mad?
24
But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he receives conviction by
all, he receives a calling to account by all;
- an d pants profetju-osin esle d tis apistos

if however all prophesy should come in moreover some unbeliever
92
e idiotes lnte po panton anakrinte po panton

or uninstructed he is convicted by all he is examined by all.
25
the secrets of his heart become disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God,
declaring that God dwells certainly among you.
ta krpta tes kardias avtu fanra ginte ke utos

the secrets of the heart of him manifest become and thus
pson pi prosopon prosknese to -o apanglion oti

having fallen upon [his] face he will worship to God declaring that
ontos o os n min stin

indeed God among you is.
26
What happens then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has
a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things occur for edification.
ti un stin adlfi otan snres kastos

What then is it brothers? when you might come together each
psalmon e didaen e apokalpsin e glosan

a pasalm has a teaching has a revelation has a tongue
e rmene-an e panta pros ikodomen ginso

has an interpretation has All things for building up let be done.
27
If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should occur by two or at the most three, and each in turn,
and one must interpret;
et glose tis lale kata do e to pleston

If with a tongue anyone speak [let it be] by two or the most
tres ke ana mros ke es dirmenju-to

three, and in turn, and one let interpret;
93
28
but if one can find no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to
himself and to God.
an d me e dirmenjutes sigato n klesia;

if however not there be an interpreter let him be silent in [the] church;
avto d laleto ke to o
to himself moreover let him speak and to God.
29
Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.
profete d do tres laletosan ke i ali diakrintosan

prophets moreover two or let speak and the others let discern.
30
But if one makes a revelation to another who sits, the first one must keep silent.
-an d alo apokalpe kaemno o protos

if moreover to another should be a revelation sitting by the first
sigato
let be silent.
31
For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may receive exhortation;
das gar ka na pants profetju-en ina pants

You can for [one] by one all prophesy that all
mananosin ke pants parakalonte

might learn and all might be exhorted.
32
and the prophets keep under their under control;
ke pnjumata profeton profe tes yposete

And spirits of prophets to prophets are subject.
33
for God does not rule in confusion but in peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
u gar stin akatastasias ho os ala erenes

not indeed he is of disorder the God but of peace
os n pase tes klesies ton agion

as in all the churches of the saints.
94
34
The women should keep silent in the churches; for they do not have permission to speak, but
should subject themselves, just as the Law also says.
e gneks n tes klesies sigatosan u gar

the women in the churches let them be silent not indeed
pitrte au tes lalen ala potassosan kaos ke

it is allowed to them to speak ; but to be in submission, as also
o nomos lge
the law says
35
If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it seems
improper for a woman to speak in church.
e d ti maen lusin n iko tus idius andras

if moreover anything to learn they wish at home the own husbands
protatosan esron gar stin lalen n klesia

let them ask; a shame indeed it is for women to speak in church.
36
Did it come from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only?
e af mon o logos tu -u eln e es mas

Or from you the word of God went out ? or to you
monus katentesn
only did it arrive?
37
If anyone thinks he functions as a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things
which I write to you come from the Lord's commandment.
e tis doke profetes ene e pnjumatikos

If anyone thinks a prophet to be or spiritual,
piginoskto a grafo min oti kriu stin ntole

let him recognize the things I write to you that of [the]Lord they are commands.
38
But if anyone does not recognize this, he will not receive recognition.
e d tis agno-e agno-ete

if however any be ignorant, let him be ignorant .
95
39
Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.
ost adlfi mu zelut to profetju-en ke to

So that brothers of me, be desirous to prophesy; and
lalen me kolt gloses

to speak, not do forbid, with tongues.
40
But all things must occur properly and in an orderly manner.
panta d jusemonos ke kata tain ginso

All things also properly and with order let be done.
The Fact of Christ's Resurrection

1
Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you
received, in which also you stand,
gnorizo d min adlfi to ju-anglion o ju-englisisamn

I make known moreover to you; brothers the gospel which I proclaimed
ymin o ke parlabt n o ke stekat

to you which also you received in which also you stand.
2
by which also you receive salvation, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless
you believed in vain.

by which also you are being saved , the word I proclaimes to you
e katt ktos e me eke pistjusat

if you hold fast, unless if not in vain you believed.
96
3
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures,
pardoka gar min n protis o ke parlabon

I delivered indeed to you in the first place what also I received ,
oti ristos apann pr ton amartion emon kata

that Christ died for the sins of us according to
tas grafas
the Scriptures.
4
and that He became buried, and that God raised Him on the third day according to the
Scriptures,
ke oti tafe ke oti gegrte te emra te

and that he was buried and that he was raised the day the
trite kata tas grafas

third according to the Scriptures;
5
and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
ke oti ofe kefa eta tis dodeka

and that he appeared to Cephas then to the twelve .
6
After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain
until now, but some have fallen asleep;
peta ope pano pntakosi-is adlfis efapax

Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once of
on i ple-ons mnusin -os arti tins d

whom the greater part remain until presently some however

are fallen asleep.
7
then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;
peta ofe lakobo eta tis apostolis pasin

Then he appeared to James; then to the apostles all ;
97
8
and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.
saton d panton ospre to ktromati ope

last moreover of al , as the untimely birth , he appeared
ka mi
also to me.
9
For I consider myself the least of the apostles, and not fit to receive the calling as an apostle,
because I persecuted the church of God.
go gar emi o laistos ton apostolon os uk

I indeed am the least of the apostles, who not
emi ikanos kalese apostolos dioti dioa ten klesian

am fit to be called apostle because I persecuted the church
tu u
of God.
10
But by the grace of God I have turned into what I have turned into, and His grace toward me
did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of
God with me.
ariti d -u emi o emi ke e aris avtu

[by the] grace however of God, I am what I am and the grace of him
e es m u kne gnee ala prisotron avton

toward not void has been, but more abundantly than them

of God all I toiled , not I however, but the grace

which [is] me.
11
Whether then it came from me or them, so we preach and so you believed.
et un go ete ke ni jutos krysomn ke utos

Whether therefore I or they , so we preach, and so
pistjusat
you believed.
98
12
Now if we preach Christ, that He God has raised Him from the dead, how do some among
you say that no resurrection of the dead will occur?
e d ristos kalese oti k nkron

if moreover Christ is preached that from among [the] dead
gegrte pos lgusin n min tins oti anastasis

he has been raised how say among you some that a resurrection
nkron uk stin
of [the] dead not there is?
13
But if we have no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has undergone resurrection;
e d anastasis nkron uk stin ud ristos

If however a resurrection of [the]dead not there is neither Christ
gegrte
has been raised;
14
and if Christ has not undergone resurrection, then we preached in vain, your faith also has
proved vain.
e d ristos uk gegrte knon ara ke to

if moreover Christ not has been raised vain then also the
kergma emon kne ke e pistis mon

preaching of us void also the faith of you.
15
Moreover people can charge us as false witnesses of God, because we testified against God
that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead will not undergo
resurrection.
juriskoma d ke psjudomartrs tu -u oti

we are found moreover false witnesses of God ; for because
martresamn kata tu -u oti egern ton riston

we witnessed conquering God that he raised up Christ,
on uk egern epr ara nkri uk geronte

whom not he raised if then [the]dead not are raised
99
16
For if the dead do not rise, not even Christ has risen;
e gar nkri uk geronte ud ristos gegrte

if indedde [the]dead not are raised neither Christ has been raised:
17
and if Christ has not risen, your faith proves worthless; you still remain in your sins.
e d ristos uk gegrte mate-a e pistis mon

if moreover Christ not has been raised vain the faith of you
stin ti st n tes amarti-is mon

is still you are in the sins of you
18
Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
ara ke i kiments n risto apolonto

then also those having fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19
If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we of all men should receive pity.
e n te zo-e tavte n risto lpikots smn

if in the life this in Christ having hope we are

only more to be pitied than all men we are.
The Order of Resurrection

20
But now Christ has risen from the dead, the first fruits of thosewho have died.
nni d ristos gegrte k nkron apare ton

now however Christ has been raised from among [the] dead first-fruit of those
kkimemnon
fallen asleep.
100
21
For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.
pede gar di anropu anatos ke di anropu

since indeed by man[is] death also by man
anastasis nkron
resurrection of [the] dead.
22
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ God will make alive.
ospr gar n to adam pants aponeskusim utos ke

For as indeed in Adam all die so also
n to risto pants zo-opi-eesonte

in Christ all will be made alive
23
But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who belong to Christ at His
coming,
kastos d n to idio tagmati apare ristos

each however in the own order : [the ] first-fruit Christ
peta i ristu n te parusia avtu

then those Christ, at the coming of him.
24
then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has
abolished all rule and all authority and power.
eta to tlos otan paradido ten basile-an to

Then the end , when he shall have given up the kingdom to him who [is]
o ke patri otan katargese pasan aren ke

God and Father; when he shall have annulled all rule , and
pasan usian ke dnamin

all authority, and power.
101
25
For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
de gar avton basilju-en ari u e pantas

it behooves indeed him to reign until that he shall have put all
tus rus po tus podas avtu

enemies under the feet of him.
26
The last enemy that He will abolish we recognize as death.
satos ros katargete o anatos

[the] last enemy annulled [is] death.
27
For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He
says, "All things He put in subjection," it has become evident that He remains excepted
who put all things in subjection to Him.
panta gar ptan po tus podas avtu otan d

all things indeed he put in subjection under the feet of him when however
epe oti panta pottakte delon oti ktos

it be said that all things have been put in subjection, [it is] manifest that [it is]except
tu epe oti panta pottakte delon oti tu

the[one] it be said that all things have beed put in subjection, that [it is] except the[one]
potaantos avto ta panta

having put in subjection to him all things.
28
When all things become subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will subject Himself to
the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may become all in all.
otan d potage avto ta panta tot ke

when moreover shall have been put in subjection to him all things then also
avtos o i-os potageste to potaanti avto

himself the Son will be put in subjection to the [one] having put in subjection to Him
ta panta ina e o os ta panta n pasin

all things than might be God all in all.
102
29
Otherwise, what will thosedo who receive baptism for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all,
why then do they baptize for them?
pe ti pi-esusin i baptizom ni pr ton

otherwise what will they do who are baptized for the
nkron e olos nkri uk geronte ti ke

dead ? if at all [the] dead not are raised why also
baptizonte pr avton
are they baptized for them?
30
Why do we find ourselves also in danger every hour?
ti ke emes kindnju-omn pasan oran

Why also we are in danger every hour?
31
I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
ka emran aponesko ne ten mtran kavesin

every day I die by our boasting,
adlfi en o n risto iesu to krio emon

brothers which I have in Christ Jesus the Lord of us.
32
If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the
dead do not come to life, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.
e kata anropon eriomaesa n fso ti mi

If according to man I fought wild beasts in Ephesus, what to me
to oflos e nkri uk geronte

the profit? if [the] dead not are raised,
fagomn ke piomn
We might eat and we might drink;
avrion gar aponeskomn

tomorrow indeed we die.
103
33
Do not deceive yourselves: "Bad company corrupts good morals."
me planas perusin e resta omilie kake

not Be misled corrupts character good companionships bad.
34
Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God.
I speak this to your shame.
knepsat dikeos ke me amartant agnosian gar u

Awake up righteously and not sin ; ignorance indeed of God
tins usin pros ntropen min lalo

some have to shame your I speak.
35
But someone will say, "How do the dead rise? And with what kind of body do they come?"
ala re tis pos geronte i nkri pi-o d

But will say someone How are raised the dead? with what moreover
somati ronte
body do they come?
36
You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;
afron s o speres u zo-opi-te an me apoane

Fool you! what you sow, not is come to life if not it die.
37
and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which will eventually form, but a bare
grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
ke o speres u to soma to gnesomnon

And what you sow, not the body that will be
speres ala gmnon kokon e ti situ e tinos

you sow, bit a bare grain, if it may be of wheat or of some
ton lipon
of the rest.
104
38
But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.
o d os didosin avto soma kaos elesn ke

but God gives to it a body as he willed , and
kasto ton sprmaton , idion soma

to each of the seeds its own body.
39
All flesh does not have the same composition, but one flesh appears in men, and another
flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.
u pasa sar e avte sar ala ale mn anropon

Not all flesh [is] the same flesh, but one indeed of men,
ale d sar ktenon ale d sar ptenon ale

another moreover flesh of beasts, another the flesh of birds another
d i-on
of fish.
40
There appear also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly
manifests itself one way, and the glory of the earthly manifests itself another way.
ke somata purania ke somata pig-ia ala tra

And bodies [there are] heavenly, and bodies earthly but one
mn e ton puranion doa tra d e ton

truly the of the heavenly glory, one moreover that of the
pige-ion
earthly.
41
There exists one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the
stars; for star differs from star in glory.
ale doa eli-u ke ale doa slenes ke ale doa

one glory of [the] sun and another glory of [the] moon and another glory
astron aster gar astros diafre n doe

of [the] stars; star indeed from star differs in glory.
105
42
So also resembles the resurrection of the dead. It becomes sown in a perishable body, it
becomes raised in an imperishable body;
utos ke e anastasis ton nkron sperte n

So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in
pfora gerte n aparsia

decay, it is raised in immortality.
43
it becomes sown in dishonor, it becomes raised in glory; it becomes sown in weakness, it
becomes raised in power;
sperte n atimia gerte n doe sperte n

It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory . It is sown in
asne-a gerte n dname

weakness, it is raised in power.
44
it becomes sown a natural body, it becomes raised a spiritual body. If a natural body exists,
there will also emerge a spiritual body.
sperte soma psikon gerte soma pnjumatikon e

It is sown a body natural. it is raised a body spiritual. if
stin soma psikon stin ke pnjumatikon

there is a body natural, there is also spiritual.
45
So also the scriptures say, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last
Adam became a life-giving spirit.
utos ke ggrapte gnto o protos anropos adam

So also it has been written, Became the first man Adam
es psen zosan o satos adam es pnjuma

into a soul living; the last Adam into a spirit
zo-opojun
life-giving.
106
46
However, the spiritual does not come first, but the natural; then the spiritual.
al u proton to pnjumatikon ala to pskon

but not first [was] the spiritual , but the natural,
peta to pnjumatikon
then the spiritual.
47
The first man comes from the earth, earthy; the second man comes from heaven.
o protos anropos k ges ikos o djutros

the first man out of earth made of dust; the second
anropos uranu
man out of heaven
48
As exists the earthy, so also exists thosewho consists of the earthy; and as exists the
heavenly, so also exist the heavenly.
i os o ikos ti-uti ke i iki ke i os

Such as the [one] made of dust , such also [are] those made of dust and such as
o puranios ti-uti ke i purani-i

the heavenly [one] such also the heavenly [ones]
49
Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
ke kaos forsamn ten ekona tu iku forsomn

And as we bore the image of the [one] made of dust we shall bear
ke ten ekona tu puraniu

also the image of the [one] heavenly.
107
The Mystery of Resurrection

50
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does
the perishable inherit the imperishable.
tuto d femi adlfi oti sar ke ema basile-an

this moreover I say , brothers that flesh and blood [the] kingdom
-u kleronomesse u dnate ud e fora ten

of God to inherit not is able nor the decay, the
afarsian kleronome
immortality does inherit.
51
Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all undergo change,
idu msterion min iego pants u kimeesoma

Behold, a mystery to you I tell : All not we will fall asleep,
pants d alagesoma
all however we will be changed.
52
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and
God will raise the dead imperishable, and we will undergo change.
n atomo n ripe ofalmu n te sate

in an instant in [the] twinkling of an eye, at the last
salpingi salpise gar ke i nkri gresonte

trumpet; a trumpet will sound indeed and the dead will be raised
arti ke emes alagesoma

imperishable and we will be changed.
53
For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
de gar to farton tuto ndsase afarsian ke

it behooves indeed the perishable this, to put on imperishable; and
to neton tuto ndsase alanasian

the mortal this , to put on immortality.
108
54
But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on
immortality, then will come about the saying that the scriptures say, "LIFE SWALLOWS
DEATH UP in victory.
otan d to farton tuto ndsete ten afarsian ke

when moreover the perishable this shall have put on the imperishable , and
to neton, tuto endsete aanasian tot gneste o

the mortal , this put on immortality then will come to pass the
logos o ggramnos
word that has been written
katapoe o anatos es nikos

was swallowed up death in victory.
55
"O DEATH, WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE DOES
YOUR STING OCCUR?"
pu su anat to nikos
Where of you , O death, the victory ?
pu su anat to kntron
where of you, O death the sting?
56
The sting of death comes from sin, and the power of sin comes from the law;
to d kntron tu anatu e amartia e d

and [the] sting of death [is] sin and
dnamis tes amartias o nomos

[the] power of sin the law;
57
but thanks goes to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
to d -o aris to didonti emin to nikos dia

to moreover God [be]thanks who gives us the victory, through
tu kriu emon iesu ristu

the Lord of us , Jesus Christ.
109
58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, remain steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work
of the Lord, knowing that you toil not in vain in the Lord.
ost adlfi mu agapeti dari-iginse amtakineti

So that, brothers of me beloved , firm be , immovable,

abounding in the work of the Lord always , knowing
krio oti o kopos mon uk stin knos n krio

[the] Lord that the toil of you not is void, in the Lord.
Instructions and Greetings

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you

concerning moreover the collection which [is] for the saints as
ditaa tes klesies tes galatias utos ke mes pi-esat

I directed the churches of Galatia, so also you do .
2
On the first day of every week each one of you should put aside and save, as he may prosper,
so that no collections should take place when I come.
kata mian sabatu kastos mon para avto tito

Introduction
1
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of
God which meets at Corinth with all the saints who live throughout Achaia:
pavlos apostolos ristu iesu dia lematos u

Paul apostle of Christ Jesus by will of God
ke timoos o adlfos te klesia tu -u te

and Timothy, the brother; to the church of God which
n use n Korino sn tis agi-is pasin tis

in is in Corinth, with the saints all, who
usin ole te aaja

are all of Achaia
2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
aris min ke erene apo u patros emon ke kriu

Grace to you and peace, from God [the]Father of us and [the Lord]
iesu ristu
Jesus Christ.
117
3
We bless the name of God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God
of all comfort,
julogetos o os ke pater tu kriu emon iesu o

Blessed [be] the god and Father of the Lord of us , Jesus the
ristu o pater ton iktirmon ke os pases

Christ, the Father of compassions and God of all
paraklesos
comfort;
4
who comforts us in all our affliction so that can comfort thosewho have any affliction with
the comfort with which we ourselves receive comfort from God.
o parakalon emas pi pase te lipse emon es to

who comforts us in all the tribulation of us, for
dnase emas parakalen tus n pase lipse dia tes

to be able us to comfort those in every tribulation, through the
parakles-os es parakaluma avti po tu -u

comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God.
5
For just as the sufferings of Christ have become abundantly ours, so also we receive abundant
comfort through Christ.
oti kaos prisju-e ta paemata tu ristu es

Because as abound the sufferings of the Christ toward
emas utos dia tu ristu prisju-e ke e

us thus so through Christ abounds also the
paraklesis emon
comfort of us.
118
6
But if we suffer affliction, we have received it for your comfort and salvation; or if we
receive comfort, we receive comfort for you, which proves effective in the patient
enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;
ete d liboma pr tes mon parakles-os ke

if moreover we are troubled [it is] your comfort and
soterias et parakaluma pr tes mon

salvation; whether we are encouraged [it is] for your
paraklesos tes nrgumnes n pomone ton avton

comfort being done in [the] endurance of the same
paematon on ke emes pasomn

sufferings which also we suffer.
7
and our hope for you we acknowledge as firmly grounded, knowing that as you share our
sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
ke e lpis emon bbe-a pr mon edots oti os

and the hope of us [is] sure for you knowing that as
kino ni st ton paematon utos ke tes paraklesos

partners you are of the sufferings so also of the comfort.
8
For we do not want you to have ignorance, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in
Asia, that we felt burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even
of life;
u gar lomn mas agno-en adlfi pr tes

not indeed do we wish you to be ignorant brothers as to the
lips-os emon tes gnomnes n te asia oti ka

tribulation of us having happened in Asia that against
perbolen pr dnamin bareemn ost aporeene

excessively beyond [our] power we were burdened so as despair
emas ke tu zen
we even of the [desire] to live.
119
9
indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves,
but in God who raises the dead;
ala avti n avtis to apokrima tu anatu

But ourselves self , the sentence of death
sekamn ina me ppiots omn f eavtis al

we have had, that not be trusting we should be in self , but
pi to o to geronti tus nkrus

in God, who raises the dead;
10
who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have
set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,
os k telikutut anatu rsato emas ke rste

who from so great a death delivered us and does deliver
es on elpikamn oti ke ti ryste

in whom we have hope, that also still he will deliver ;
11
your also joining in helping us through your prayers, so that many persons may give thanks
on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.
snpurgunton ke mon pr emon te d-ese ina

straining together also of you for us by the supplication that
k polon prospon to es emas arisma dia

by many persons , the toward us gift, through
polon juaristee pr emon

many, might be subject of thanksgiving for us.
Paul's Integrity
12
For our proud confidence consists in this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness
and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted
ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.
e gar kavesis emon avte stin to martrion tes

For [the] boasting of us this is the testimony of the
snedes-os emon oti n aploteti ke elikrine-a tu -u

conscience of us that in simplicity and sincerity God
120
ariti -u ke uk n sofia sarkike al n -u

grace of God and not in wisdom fleshly but in of God
anstrafemn n to kosmo prisotros d pros

we had our conduct in the world more abundantly moreover toward
mas
you.
13
For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will
understand until the end;
u gar ala grafomn min al e a

nothing indeed other things do we write to you , but than what
anaginoskt e ke piginoskt pizo d oti os

you read , or even acknowledge ; I hope moreover that to [the]
tlus pignoss
end you will acknowledge,
14
just as you also partially did understand us, that we represent your reason to feel proud as
you belong to us, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
kaos ke pgnot emas apo mrus oti kavema mon smn

as also you did acknowledge us in part that boasting of you we are,
kaapr ke mes emon n te emra tu kriu emon iesu

even as also you[are] ours in the day of the Lord of us, Jesus.
15
In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a
blessing;
ke tavte te ppiese bulomen protron pros mas

And with this confidence I purposed previously to you
len ina djutran arin set

to come that a second favor you might have;
121
16
namely, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and
by you to receive help on my journey to Judea.
ke di mon dilen es makdonian ke palin apo makdonias

and by you to pass through to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia
len pros mas ke f mon propmfne es ten iudajan

to come to you, and by you to be set forward to Judea.
17
Therefore, I had not vacillated when I intended to do this, did I? Or what I purpose, do I
purpose according to the flesh, so that with me we will have yes, yes and no, no at the
same time?
tuto un bulomnos meti ara te lafria resamen

thus Therefore purposing , not indeed lightness did I use?
e a bulju-ome kata sarka bulju-ome ina

or what I purpose, according to flesh do I purpose, that
to e par mi to ne ne ke u u
there should be with me yes yes, and no no
18
But as God demonstrates faithfulness, our word to you has not become yes and no.
pistos d o os oti o logos emon o pros

faithful moreover God[is] , that the word of us to
mas uk stin ne ke u
you, not was yes and no.
19
For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who Silvanus, Timothy, and I preached among youdid
not consist of yes and no, but only yes in Him.
o tu u gar i-os ristos iesus o n min

the of God indeed Son Christ Jesus who among you
di emon keres di mu ke silu-anu ke

by us having been proclaimed, by me and Silvanus, and
timo-u uk gnto ne ke u ala ne n avto ke ggonn

Timothy , not was yes and no but yes in him and has been.
122
20
For as many promises God has made, in Him they become yes; therefore also through Him
we recognize our Amen to the glory of God through us.
ose gar pangli-e -u n avto to ne

as many as indeed promises of God [there are] in him [is]the yes.
dio di avtu to amen to -o pros doan di emon

therefore in him , the Amen, to God glory , by us.
21
Now God establishes us and anointed us with you in Christ,
o d bbe-on emas sn min es riston ke

he who moreover establishes us with you unto Christ , and
risas emas -os

having anointed us [is] God,
22
who have sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
o ke sfragisamnos emas ke dus ton arabona

the [one] also having sealed us , and having given the pledge
tu pnjumatos n tes kardi-es emon

of the spirit , in the hearts of us.
23
But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.
go d martra ton on pikalume pi ten men

I moreover as witness God call upon my
psen oti fedommos mon ukti elon es korinon

soul that sparing you , not yet did I come to Corinth.
24
Not that we lord it over your faith, but work with you for your joy; for in your faith you
stand firm.
u oti kriju-omn mon tes pistos ala snrgi smn

Not that we lord it over your faith but fellow workers are
tes aras mon te gar piste stekat

of the joy of you; in the indeed faith you stand firm.
123
Reaffirm Your Love

1
But I determined this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.
krina gar mavto tuto to me palin n lpe pros mas len

I judged indeed with myself this not again in grief to you to come.
2
For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful?
e gar go lpo mas ke tis o jufrenon me

if indeed I grieve you also who gladdens me
e me o lpumnos mu
if not he who is grieved by me?
3
This very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from thosewho
ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would radiate to you
all.
ke grapsa tuto avto ina me lon lpen so

And I wrote this same, that not having come grief I might have
af on de me eren ppojos pi pantas

from [tos e] of whom it behooves me to rejoice; trusting in all
mas oti e me ara panton mon stin

you that my joy of all you is.
4
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that
you would sorrow, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.
k gar poles lipsos ke snoes kardias grapsa

out of indeed much tribulation, and distress of heart , I wrote
min dia polon dakron; u ina lpeet ala ten

to you through many tears ; not that you might be grieved but the
agrapen ina grot en o pisotros es mas

love that you might know, I have more abundantly toward you.
124
5
But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degreein order
not to say too muchto all of you.
e d tis llpekn uk m llpekn ala

if moreover anyone has grieved, not me has grieved , but
apo mrus ina me pibaro pantas mas

from part that not I might put it too severely all you.
6
Sufficient for such a one do we regard this punishment which the majority inflicted,
ikanon to ti-uto e pitimia avte e po ton

Sufficient to such a one [is] the punishment this which [is] by the
ple-onon
majority.
7
so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one
might succumb to excessive sorrow.
ost tunantion malon mas arisase ke parakalse

so that on the contrary rather you should forgive and encourage ,
me pos te prisotra lpe katapoe o

lest perhaps with the more abundant grief should be swallowed up the
toj-utos
such a one.
8
Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
dio parakalo mas krose es avton agapen

Therefore I exhort you to confirm toward him love.
9
For to this end also I wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you obey in all things.
es tuto gar ke grapsa ina gno ten dokimen

for this indeed, also did I write, that I might know the proof
mon e es panta peki st

of you if to everything obedient you are.
125
10
But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I
have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
o d ti arizs kago ke gar go o

to whom moreover anything your forgive, and I also indeed I ; to whom
karisme e ti karisme di mas n

I have forgiven if anything I have forgiven, [is] for sake of you in
prosopo ristu
[the] person of Christ;
11
so that no one would take advantage of us by Satan, for we have no ignorance of his scemes.
ina me plonkomn po tu satana u gar avtu

that not we be outwitted by Satan not indeed of his
to no-emata agno-umn
thoughts we are ignorant.
12
Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door opened for me in the
Lord,
lon d es ten troda es to juanglion tu

having come moreover to Troas for the gospel
ristu ke ras mi an-ogmnes n krio

of Christ, also a door to me having been opened in [the] Lord,
13
I had no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went
on to Macedonia.
uk seka ansin to pnjumati mu to me juren me

not I had ease in the spirit of me not finding I
titon ton adlfon mu ala apotaamnos avtis elon

Titus the brother of me but having taken leave of them I went out
es makdonian
to Macedonia.
126
14
But I thank God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the
sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
to d o aris to pantot riambju-onti emas n

to moreover God [be] thanks who always leads in triumph us in
to risto ke ten osmen tes gnos-os avtu

Christ, and the fragrance of the knowledge of him
fanrunti di emon n panti topo

makes manifest through us in every place.
15
For have become a fragrance of Christ to God among thosewho receive salvation and among
thosewho perish;
oti ristu ju-odia smn to -o n tis sozom ni s

For of Christ a sweet perfume to God in those being saved ,
ke n tis apolm nis

and in those perishing.
16
to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who
proves adequate for these things?
is mn osme k anatu es anaton is d

to one indeed an odor from death to death , to one moreover,
osme k zo-es es zo-en ke pros tavta tis ikanos

a fragrance from life to life ; and for these things who [is] competent?
17
For we do not like many, peddle the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we
speak in Christ in the sight of God.
u gar smn os i poli kapelu-unts ton logon

not indeed we are, as the many, are peddling the word
tu -u al os elikrine-as al os k -u
of God . but as of sincerity, but as of God
katnanti -u n risto lalumn

before God in Christ we speak.
127
Ministers of a New Covenant

1
Do we begin to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation
to you or from you?
aroma palin avtus snistanen e me rezomn os

Do we begin again ourselves to commend? or not we need, as
tins sstatikon pistolon pros mas e mon?

some, commendatory letters to you, or from you?
2
You represent our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
e pistole emon mes st nggramne n tes

the letter of us you are having been inscribed in the
kardi-es emon ginoskome ke anaginoskomne po panton anropon

hearts of us being known and being read by all men.
3
We maintain that you constitute a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but
with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
fanrum ni oti st pistole ristu diakoneesa f

being revealed that you are of Christ of Christ, having been ministered to by
emon nggramne u mlani ala pnjumati -u

us having been inscribed , not in ink , but with [the] Spirit of God
zintos uk n plain liines al n plain kardi-es sarkines

[the] living; not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of hearts human.
4
Such confidence we have through Christ toward God.
ppiesin d ti-avten omn dia tu ristu pros

Confidence moreover moreover , we have through Christ toward
ton on
God.
128
5
Not that we feel adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our
adequacy derives from God,
u oti af avton ika ni smn logisase ti os

not that from ourselves competent we are, to reckon anything as
avton al e ikanotes emon k tu -u

of ourselves, but the sufficiency of us [is] of God;
6
who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit;
for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
os ke ikanosn emas diakonus kenes diaekes u gramatos

who also made competent us [as] servants of a new covenant; not of letter,
ala pnjumatos to gar grama apoktne to d pnjuma zo-opi-e

but of Spirit ; the indeed letter kills, but [the] Spirit gives life.
7
But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of
Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading
as it seemed,
e d e diakonia tu anatu n gramasin

if moreover the ministry of death, in letters,
ntlpomne liis gnee n doe ost me dnase

having been engraven stones was produced in glory so as not to be able
dia atnise tus u-i-us israel es to prosopon

on account of to look intently the children of Israel into the face
mus-os ten doan tu prosopu avtu ten

of Moses , the glory of the face of him which
pnjumatos katargumnen
Spirit is being annulled;
8
how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to appear even more glorious?
pos ui malon he diakonia tu pnjumatos ste n doe

how not rather, the ministry of the Spirit will be in glory?
129
9
For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness
abound in glory.
e gar te diakonia tes katakris-os doa polo malon

if indeed the ministry of condemnation [be] glory , much rather
prisju-e e diakonia tes dike-osnes doe

abounds the ministry of righteousness [in] glory .
10
For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.
ke gar u ddoxaste to ddoasmnon n

and indeed, neither has been made glorious that which, having been made glorious in
tuto to mre enkn tes prbaluses does

this respect, on account of the surpassing glory.
11
For if that which fades away came with glory, much more that which remains does so in
glory.
e gar to katargumnon dia does polo malon

if indeed that which is being annulled [was] through glory much rather,
to mnon n doe
that which remains [is] in glory
12
Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech,
onts un ti-a-uten lpida pole paresia roma

Having therefore such hope much boldness we use ,
13
and do not behave like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel
would not look intently at the end of what would fade away.
ke u kaapr mo-uses tie kalma pi to

and not as Moses ; he would put a veil on the
prosopon avtu pros to me atnise tus u-i-us israel

face of himself for not to look intently the sons of Israel,
es to tlos tu katargumnu
to the end of that being annulled.
130
14
But their minds became hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant
the same veil remains unlifted, because Christ removes it.
ala poroe ta noemata avton ari gar tes semron

but were hardened the minds of then until indeed the present
emras to avto kalma pi te anagnose tes pale-as

day the same veil at the reading of the old
diaekes mne me anakalptomnon oti n risto

covenant remains not revealed which in Christ
katargete
is being annulled.
15
But to this day whenever they read Moses, a veil lies over their heart;
al os semron enika an anaginoskete mo-uses

But unto this day , when anyhow is being read Moses,
kalma pi ten kardian avton kete

a veil upon the heart of them lies.
16
but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the Lord takes away the veil.
enika d an pistrpse pros krion pri-irete to

whenever moreover if [one] shall have turned to [the]Lord , is taken away the
to kalma
the veil.
17
Now the Lord consists of Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord dwells, there dwells liberty.
o d krios to pnjuma stin u d to pnjuma

moreover Lord the Spirit is ; where moreover the Spirit
kriu ljuria
of [the] Lord [is] [there is] freedom.
131
18
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, will undergo
transformation into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
emes d pants anakkalmno prosopo ten doan

we moreover all , with unveiled face the glory
kri-u katoptrizom ni ten avten ekona mtamorfuma

of [the] Lord beholding as in a mirror [to], the same image are being transformed,
kriu apo does es doan kaapr apo pnjumatos

[the] Lord, from glory to glory, even as from [the] Spirit.

Paul's Apostolic Ministry

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,

but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or
adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to
every man's conscience in the sight of God.

But we renounced the hidden things of shame, not

And even if we veil our gospel, we veil it to those who perish,

if however also is concealed gospel our,

to those perishing it is concealed;

in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they
might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who constitutes the image of
God.

thoughts of the unbelieving , so as not to beam forth the radiancy

of the gospel of the glory of Christ who is [the] image of God.

For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants
for Jesus' sake.

not indeed ourselves do we proclaim, Christ Jesus Lord;
avtus d dulus mon dia iesun

For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," has become the One who has shown
in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

For God having spoken, out of darkness light to shine, who

For we who live receive constant deliverance over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of

So death works in us, but life in you.

But having the same spirit of faith, according to what the scriptures say, "I BELIEVED,

For all things occur for your sakes, so that the grace which has spread to more and more

Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man decays, yet our inner man renews

For momentary, light affliction produces for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all

surpassing to excessiveness, an eternal weight of glory produces for us.
While we look not at the things which we see, but at the things which we dont see; for the

things which we see prove temporal, but the things which we dont see prove eternal.

The Temporal and Eternal

1
For we know that if the earthly tent which serves as our house becomes torn down, we have a
building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
mn gar oti an he pige-os emon ikia tu skenus

we know indeed that if earthly of us house of the tabernacle
katale ikodomen k -u omn ikian aeropjeton

be destroyed , a building from God we have , a house not made with hands,

eternal in the heavens.
2
For indeed in this house we groan, longing to become clothed with our dwelling from heaven,
ke gar n tuto stnazomn to iketerion emon to

and indeed , in this we groan, the dwelling of us , which [is]

from heaven to be clothed with longing.
3
inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not find ourselves naked.
e g ke kdsam ni u gm ni juresoma
if besides also having been clothed not naked we will be found.
4
For indeed while we dwell in this tent, we groan, feeling burdened, because we do not want to
feel unclothed but to feel clothed, so that what we know as mortal will become
swallowed up by life.
ke gar i onts n to skene stnazomn

and indeed, who are in the tabernacle , we groan,

being burdened ; because that not we do wish to be unclothed, but
pndsae ina katapoe to neton po tes zo-es

to be clothed upon , that might be swallowed up the mortal by life.
137
5
Now God prepared us for this very purpose, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.

the [one] moreover having prepared us for this very this [purpose] [is] God
o dus emin ton arbona tu pnjumatos

having given to us the pledge of the Spirit.
6
Therefore, always having of good courage, and knowing that while we dwell at home in the
body we find ourselves absent from the Lord
arunts un pantot ke edots oti ndemunts n

Being confident therefore always, and knowing that being at home in

the body, we are from home, away from the Lord,
7
for we walk by faith, not by sight
dia pist-os gar pripatumn u dia edus

by faith indeed we walk , not by sight;
8
we have good courage, I say, and prefer rather to remain absent from the body and to become
at home with the Lord.

we are confident moreover and are pleased , rather to be from home out of the
somatos ke ndemese pros ton krion

body and to be at home with the Lord.
9
Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to please Him.
dio ke filotimuma ete ndemunts et kdemunts

Therefore also we are ambitious , whether being at home or being from home,

well-pleasing to him to be.
138
10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive
recompense for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or
bad.
tus gar pantas emas fanone de mprosn tu

indeed all we be revealed must before the
bematos tu ristu ina komiste kastos ta dia

judgment seat of Christ that might receive each the things [done] in

the body according to what he did whether good or evil
11
Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we become manifest to God;
and I hope that we manifest also in your consciences.
edots un ton fobon tu kri-u anropus peomn

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord men we persuade
-o d pfanroma lpizo d ke n tes

to God. moreover we have been revealed; I hope moreover also in the

consciences of you to have been revealed.
12
We do not again commend ourselves to you but give you an occasion to have pride in us, so
that you will have an answer for thosewho take pride in appearance and not in heart.
u palin avtus snistanomn min ala aformen didonts

For not again ourselves do we commend to you, but occasion are giving

to you of boasting in behalf of , that you might have [such] toward those

13
For if we seem beside ourselves, we do it for God; if we have a sound mind, we have it for
you.
et gar stemn -o et sofrunumn mim

If indeed we were beside ourselves , [it was] to God or are sober-minded for you.
139
14
For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all
died;
e gar agape tu ristu sne emas krinatas tuto

the indeed love of Christ constrains us having judged this,
oti es pr panton apann ara pants apanon

that one for all died, then all died.
15
and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him
who died and rose again on their behalf.
ke pr panton apann ina i zonts mekti

and for all he died , that they who live, no longer
avtis zosin ala to pr avton apoanonti ke

to themselves should live but to the [one] for them having died , and

having been raised again.
16
Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have
known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.
ost emes apo tu nn udna idmn kata sarka

So that we from now, no one regard according to flesh.
e ke gnokamn kata sarka riston ala nn ukti

if even we have regarded according to flesh Christ yet now no longer

we regard [him].
17
Therefore if anyone dwells in Christ, he has become a new creature; the old things passed
away; behold, new things have come.
ost e tis n risto kene ktisis ta are-a

So that if anyone [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creations. the old things

140
18
Now all these things come from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave
us the ministry of reconciliation,
ta d panta k tu -u tu katalaantos emas avto

moreover all things [are] of God having reconciled us to himself,
dia ristu ke dontos emin ten diakonian tes katalages

namely, that God performed through Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting
their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

not reckoning to them the trespasses of them , and having put

Therefore, we serve as ambassadors for Christ, as though God had made an appeal through
us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, to reconcile yourselves to God.

For Christ therefore we are ambassadors , as it were God

Receive us; no one did we wrong, no one did we corrupt,

I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said before that you remain in our hearts to die

For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we suffered affliction on
every side: conflicts without, fears within.

But God, who comforts the depressed, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

But he who encourages those brought low , encouraged us

God , by the coming of Titus;
147
7
and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he received comfort in you,
as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced
even more.

For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret itfor I

letter same , if even for an hour, grieved you.
9
I now rejoice, not that you felt sorrowful, but that you sorrowed to the point of repentance;
for you received sorrow according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in
anything through us.

Now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to
mta ni an lpeet gar kata on ina n medni

repentance; you were grieved indeed according to that in nothing

you might suffer loss by us.
148
10
For the sorrow that accords to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading
to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
e gar kata on lpe mta ni an es soterian

the indeed, according to God grief, repentance to salvation,
amtamleton rgazte e d tu kosmu lpe

without regret produces ; and [the] of the world grief,

death produces.
11
For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what
vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what
avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to have proven innocence
in this matter.

anger, but fear, but longing , but zeal but vengeance!

in every [way] you proved yourselves pure to be, in this matter.
12
So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the
one offended, but that your earnestness on our behalf might become known to you in the
sight of God.
ara e ke grapsa min u nkn tu adikesantos

Then if also I wrote to you, not for the sake of the[one] having done wrong,

rather not for the sake of the [one] having suffered wrong, rather for the sake of
fanroene ten spudn mon ten pr emon pros

being revealed the earnestness of you, which[is] for us to

149
13
For this reason we have received comfort. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much
more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has received refreshment by you all.

On account of this, we have been comforted.

we rejoiced at the joy of Titus, because has been refreshed the spirit

of him, by all of you.
14
For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I did not suffer shame; but as we spoke
all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved true.

Because if anything to him about you I have boasted, not

I was put to shame; but as all things in truth we spoke to you,

so also the boasting of us, which to Titus, truth became;
15
His affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all,
how you received him with fear and trembling.

and the affections of him more abundantly toward you are,

and trembling, you received him.
16
I rejoice that in everything I have confidence in you.

I rejoice that in everything I am confident in you.

Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which He gave to the

we make known moreover to you brothers the grace of God, which

For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own
accord,

For according to [their] ability, I bear witness, and beyond [their] ability ,

[they were] willing of themselves.

and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the

And not [only] as we hoped, but themselves they gave, first
to krio ke emin dia lematos -u

to the Lord, and to us , by [the] will of God.
6
So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in
you this gracious work as well.
es to parakalse emas titon ina kaos

According exhort we Titus, that as
pronerato utos ke pitlse es mas ke ten

he before began , so also he might complete with you also, the
arin tavten
grace this.
7
But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all
earnestness and in the love we inspired in you, see that you abound in this gracious work
also.
al ospr n panti prisju-t piste ke logo ke

But even as in every [way] you abound , in faith, and word, and
gnose ke pase spude ke te emon n min

knowledge , and all earnestness, and in the from us to you,
agape ina ke n tavte te ariti prisju-et

love , that also , in this the grace , you should abound.
8
I do not speak this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the
sincerity of your love also.
u kat pitagen lgo ala dia tes tron spudes

Not according to a command do I speak, but through the of others earnestness,
ke to tes mtras agapes gnesion dokimazon

and the of your love genuineness, proving .

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He had riches, yet for your sake
He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
ginoskt gar ten arin tu kriu emon iesu ristu

you know indeed the grace of the Lord of us Jesus Christ,
oti di mas ptojusn plusios on ina mes

that for the sake of you, he became poor, rich being that you
te kenu ptoe-a pluteset

of that poverty might be enriched.
10
I give my opinion in this matter, for this proves your advantage, who became the first to
begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it.
ke gnomen n tuto didomi tuto gar min smfre

And a judgment in this I give , this indeed for you is profitable,
itins u monon to pi-eseala ke to len

who not only the doing , but also the being willing,
pro-neas apo prsi

began before from a year ago.
11
But now finish doing it also, so that just as you had the readiness to desire it, so you may
complete it by your ability.
nni d ke to pi-ese pitlsat opos kaapr

now moreover also the doing complete; so that even as
e promia tu len utos ke to pitlse

[there was] the readiness of the being willing, so also the completing,
k tu en
out of that you have.
12
For if the readiness has presented itself, we find it acceptable according to what a person
has, not according to what he does not have.
e gar e promia prokete kao an e

if indeed the readiness is present, as if might have
juprosdktos u kao uk e
[he is] acceptable, not as not he has.
153
13
For this occurs not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of equality
u gar ina alis ansis min lipsis al

not indeed that to others [there may be] affliction ; but of

equality.
14
at this present time your abundance providing a supply for their need, so that their abundance
also may become a supply for your need, that there may come equality;

At the present time , your abundance for the of tos e

as the scriptures say, "HE WHO gathered MUCH DID NOT HAVE TOO MUCH, AND HE
WHO gathered LITTLE HAD NO LACK."

As it has been written , He who [gathered] much not had not too much

and he who [gathered] little no had lack.
16
But we give thanks to God who puts the same earnestness on your behalf in the heart of
Titus.

thanks moreover to God , who gives the same earnestness
pr mon n te kardia titu

for you in the heart of Titus
154
17
For he not only accepted our appeal, but showing himself very earnest, he has gone to you of
his own accord.

For the indeed exhortation he received, more earnest moreover

being, of his own accord he went out to you.
18
We have sent along with him the brother whose fame in the things of the gospel has spread
through all the churches;

We sent moreover with him the brother , of whom the
penos n to juanglio dia pason ton klesion

praise [is]in the gospel, through all all of the churches;
19
and not only this, but he has also received appointment by the churches to travel with us in
this gracious work, which the Lord administered by us for the His glory, and to show our
readiness,

not only moreover but also having been cos en by the churches

20
taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift;

avoiding this lest anyone us should blemish, in the
adroteti tavte te diakonumne f emon

abundance this , which [is] administered by us;
155
21
for we have regard for what proves honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in
the sight of men.
prono-umn gar kala u monon nopion kriu ala

providing for things right , not only before [the] Lord, but
ke nopion anropon
also before men.
22
We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many
things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you.

we sent with moreover them the brother of us , whom

we proved in many things often earnest to be , now

moreover much more earnest by the confidence great which is toward you.
23
As for Titus, he serves as my partner and fellow worker among you; as for our brethren, they
serve as messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

Therefore openly before the churches, show them the proof of your love and of our reason
for boasting about you.

God Gives Most

1
For I find it superfluous to write to you about this ministry to the saints;
pri mn gar tes diakonias tes es tus agius

Concerning now indeed the service which [is] for the saints,
prison mi stin to grafen min

superluous for me it is writing to you.
2
for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, namely, that
Achaia has completed preparation since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of
them.
ida gar ten promian mon en pr mon kavome

I know indeed the readiness of you , which concerning you I boast of
makdosin oti ae-a parskju-aste apo prsi ke to

to Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared from a year ago, and
mon zelos erisn tus ple-onas

your zeal provokes the great number.
3
But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not have emptiness in
this case, so that, as I said, you may prepare yourselves;
pmpsa d tus adlfus ina me to kavema emon

I sent moreover the brothers , that not the boasting , of us
to pr mon knoe n to mre tuto ina

which [is] about you, should be made void in the matter this , that
kaos lgon parskju-asm ni et

as I said prepared you might be.
157

otherwise if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, wenot to speak of
youwill suffer shame by this confidence.

not perhaps if should come with me Macedonians and find
mas aparakjuastus katesnomn emes ina me

you unprepared , should be put to shame we , that not
lgomn mes n te postase tavte

we might say you, in the confidence this.
5
So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange
beforehand your previously promised bountiful gift, so that the same you would have
ready as a bountiful gift and not affected by covetousness.
anankeon un egesamen parakalse tus adlfus ina

Necessary therefore I esteemed [it] to exhort the brothers , that

they should go before to you, and should complete beforehand the
utos propenglmnen julogian mon tavten timen ene os

thus foreannounced blessing of you this ready to be as
julogian ke me os plonian
a blessing , and not as [of] covetousness.
6
Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully
will also reap bountifully.
tuto d o speron fedomnos fedomnos ke

this moreover, he that sows sparingly , sparingly also
rise ke o speron p julogies p julogies

will reap; and he that sows on blessings upon blessings

also will reap.
158
7
Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion,
for God loves a cheerful giver.
kastos kaos pro-eretete kardia me k lpes e

each as he purposes in the heart ; not out of regret , or
anankes ilaron gar doten agapa o -os

of necessity; a cheerful indeed giver , loves God.
8
And God can make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in
everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;
dnate d o os pasan arin prisjuse es mas

able [is] moreover God all grace to make abound toward you,
ina n panti pantot , pasan atarke-an onts,

that in every [way] always, all sufficiency having,

you might abound into every work good.
9
as the scriptures read,
"HE SCATTERED ABROAD, HE GAVE TO THE POOR,
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER."
kaos ggrapte skorpisn dokn tis pnesin

as it has been written, He scattered, he gave to the poor,
e dikeosne avtu mne es ton eona

the righteousness of him abides to the age.
10
Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your
seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;
o d pioregon sporon to speronti ke arton

he who moreover supplies seed to him that sows , and bread
es brosin oregese ke plene ton sporon mon

for eating , may he supply and may he multiply the seed of you,
ke avese ta gnemata tes dikeosnes mon

and may he increase the fruits of the righteousness of you;
159
11
you will receive enrichment in everything for all liberality, which through us has produced
thanksgiving to God.
n panti plutizom ni es pasan aploteta etis

in every [way] being enriched to all generosity, which
katrgazte di emon juaristian to -o

produces through us, thanksgiving to God.
12
For the ministry of this service does not only fully supply the needs of the saints, but is also
overflows through many thanksgivings to God.
oti e diakonia tes keturgias tavtes u monon stin

Because the ministry of the service this, not only is
prosanaplerusa ta stremata ton agion ala ke

completely filling up the needs of the saints, but moreover
prisjusa dia polon juaristion to -o

abounding through many thanksgivings to God.
13
Because of the proof given by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to
your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your contribution to them
and to all,

through the proof of the service this [they] glorifying God

while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of
God in you.

Paul Describes Himself

1
Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of ChristI who seem meek
when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent!
avtos d go pavlos parakalo mas dia tes

myself moreover I Paul, exhort you by the
pravtetos ke pi-eke-as tu ristu os kata

gentleness and gentleness of Christ, who as to
aro prosopon mn tapenos n min apon d

am bold appearance indeed [am] humble among you absent however

toward you.
2
I ask that when I meet you face to face I need not show boldness with the confidence with
which I propose to show courage against some, who regard us as if we walked according
to the flesh.
d-ome d to me paron arese te ppiese

I implore moreover that, not being present , I should be bold with the confidence
e logizome tolmese pi tinas tus logizomnus emas

with which I reckon , to be daring toward some who reckon of us,
os kata sarka pripatuntas

as according to flesh walking.
161
3
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
n sarki gar pripatunts u kata sarka

in flesh indeed walking , not according to flesh
stratju-oma
do we war.
4
for the weapons of our warfare do not derive from the flesh, but divinely powerful for the
destruction of fortresses.
ta gar opla tes strate-as emon u sarkika ala

the indeed weapons of the warfare of us [are] fleshly , but
dnata to -o pros kaeresin oromaton

powerful divine to overthrow of strongholds;
5
We destroy speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and
we take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,
logismus kairunts ke pan psoma pa-eromnon kata

arguments overthrowing, and every high thing lifting itself up against
tes gnosos tu -u ke imalotixonts pan noema es

the knowledge of God , and leading captive every thought into
ten pakoen tu ristu

the obedience of Christ;
6
and we have readiness to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience reaches
completion.
ke n timo onts kdikese pasan parako-en otan

and in readiness having, to avenge all disobedience , when
pleroe mon pako-e

might have fulfilled your obedience.
162
7
You look at things as they appear outward. If anyone has confidence in himself that he
belongs to Christ, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he belongs to
Christ, so do we.
ta kata prosopon blpt e tis ppin

The things according to appearance do you look at? if anyone is persuaded
avto ristu ene tuto logizso palin f avtu

in himself of Christ to be , this let him reckon again within himself,
oti kaos avtos ristu utos ke emes

that as he [is] of Christ, so also [are] we.
8
For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building
you up and not for destroying you, I will not endure shame,
an te gar prisotron ti kavesome pri tes

if even indeed more abundantly somewhat, I should boast concerning the
usias emon es dokn o krios es ikodomen

authority of us , which gave the Lord for building up,
ke uk es kaeresin mon uk esesome

and not for tearing down you not I will be ashamed;
9
for I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
ina me doo os an kfoben mas dia ton

that [I] not might seem as if anyhow frightening you, by means of the
pistolon
letters;
10
For they say, "His letters sound weighty and strong, but his personal presence seems
unimpressive and his speech contemptible."
oti e pistole mn fesin bare-e ke isre e

because the letters, indeed they say, [are]weighty and strong
d parusia tu somatos asnes ke o logos

but [the] presence of the body weak , and the speech
unemnos
nothing.
163
11
Let such a person consider this, that what we seem in word by letters when absent, such
persons we prove also in deed when present.
tuto logizso o ti-utos oti i-i smn to logo

This let reckon such a one , that such as we are in word
di pistolon aponts ti-uti ke paronts to rgo

by letters being absent, such [we are] also being present in deed.
12
For we do not have the boldness to class or compare ourselves with some of thosewho
commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare
themselves with themselves, they have no understanding.
u gar tolmonn nkrine e snkrine avtus

not indeed dare we rank among, or compare with ourselves,
tisin ton avtus snistanonton ala avti n

some who themselves commend ; but these by
avtis avtis mtrunts ke snkrinonts avtus

themselves, themselves measuring, and comparing themselves
avtis u sniasin
with themselves not understand.
13
But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God
apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.
emes d uk es ta amtra kavessoma ala

We however not to the things beyond measure will boast , but
kata to mtron tu kanonos u mrisn emin o

according to the measure of the area, which divided to us the
os mtru fikse ari ke mon

God of measure to reach as far as also you.
164
14
For we do not overextend ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we came to you first in
the gospel of Christ;
u gar os me fiknum ni es mas prktenomn

Not indeed, as not reaching to you , we do overextend
avtus ari gar ke mon fasamn n to juanglio tu ristu

ourselves, as far as indeed also you, we came in the gospel of Christ;
15
not boasting beyond our measure, namely, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as
your faith grows, we will become, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you,
uk es ta amtra kavom ni n alotri-is kopis

not to the things beyond measure boasting in others' labors;
lpida d onts auanomnes tes pistos mon n

hope moreover having increasing the faith of you, among
min mgalnene kata ton kanona mon es pris-e-an

you to be enlarged according to the area of us, to abundance.
16
so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast in what another
has accomplished in his sphere.
es ta prkena mon juanglisase uk n alotrio

to that beyond you to preach the gospel, not in another's
kanono es ta tima kavesase

area, as to things ready to boast.
17
But HE WHO BOASTS SHOULD BOAST IN THE LORD.
o d kavomnos n krio kavaso

he who moreover boasts , in [the] Lord let him boast.
18
For he does not commend himself, but the Lord commends.

not indeed he that himself commends this [one] is approved , but

whom the Lord commends.

Paul Defends His Apostleship

1
I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you bear with me.
oflon anese mu mikron ti afrosnes ala ke

I wish you were bearing with me a little any in foolishness; but indeed
ans mu
bear with me.
2
For I feel jealousy for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that
to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.
zelo gar mas -u zelo emosamen gar mas

I am jealous as to indeed you with[the] Jealousy I have espoused indeed you
ni andri parnon agnen parastese to risto

to one husband, a virgin pure to present [you] to Christ.
3
But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will go astray from
the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
fobume d me pos os o ofis epatesn ju-an

I fear however, lest by any means as the serpent deceived Eve
n te panurgia avtu fare ta noemata mon

in the craftiness of him should be corrupted the minds of you
ton apo tes aplotetos ke tes agnotetos tes es riston

from the simplicity and the purity as to Christ.
4
For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a
different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not
accepted, you bear this beautifully.
e mn gar o eromnos alon iesun kerse on

if truly indeed, he that comes another Jesus proclaims, whom
uk keramn e pnjuma tron lambant o uk

not we did proclaim, or a spirit different you receive which not
166
labt e juanglion tron o uk das kalos

you did take , or glad tidings different which not you did accept, well
ans
are you bearing with it.
5
For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles.
logizome gar medn trekne ton perlian apostolon

I reckon for in nothing, to have been behind those most eminent apostles.
6
But even if I seem unskilled in speech, yet I have knowledge; in fact, in every way we have
made this evident to you in all things.
e d ke idiotes to logo al u te gnose

if however, even unpolished in speech [I am] yet not in knowledge;
al n panti fanrosants n pasin es mas

but in every [way] having made manifest in all things to you.
7
Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might receive exaltation, because I
preached the gospel of God to you without charge?
n pi-esa mavton tapenon ina mes

Or sin did I commit, myself humbling , that you
psoet oti dor-an to tu u juanglion

might be exalted, because freely the of God gospel

I proclaimed to you?
8
I robbed other churches by taking wages from them to serve you;
alas klesias slesa labon opsonion pros ten mon

Other churches I robbed , having received support for toward you
diakonian
service.
167
9
and when I found myself present with you and felt in need, I did not become a burden to
anyone; for when the brethren came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in
everything I kept myself from becoming a burden to you, and will continue to do so.
ke paron pros mas ke strees u katnarkesa

And being present with you and having been in need not I did burden
unos to gar strema mu prosanplerosan i

no one indeed [the]need of me completely filled up the
adlfi lonts apo makdonias ke n panti abare

brothers having come from Macedonia and in everything not burdensome
mavton min teresa ke tereso

myself to you I kept , and will keep.
10
As the truth of Christ resides in me, this boasting of mine will not stop in the regions of
Achaia.
stin alee-a ristu n mi oti he kavesis avte

Is [the] truth of Christ in me that the boasting this,
u frageste es m n tis klimasin tes ae-as

not will be sealed up as to me in the regions of Achaia.
11
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
dia ti oti uk agapo mas o os idn

Because of why? because not I do love you? Hod knows [ I do] !
12
But what I do I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from thosewho desire
an opportunity to take advantage in the matter about which they boast.
o d pi-o ke pi-eso ina kopso ten afomen

what moreover I do , also i will do, that I might cut off the occasion
ton lonton aformen ina n o kavxonte

of those wishing an occasion that wherein what they boast,
jureosin kaos ke emes

they might be found as also we.
168
13
For such men prove themselves false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as
apostles of Christ.
i gar ti-uti psjedapostoli rgate doli-i

for such [are] false apostles , workers deceitful,
mtasematizom ni es apostolus ristu

disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14
No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
ke u auma avtos gar o satanas mtasematizte

And no wonder ; himself indeed Satan masquerades
es anglon fotos
as an angel of light.
15
Therefore does not surprise us if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of
righteousness, whose end will accord to their deeds.
u mga un e ke i diako ni avtu

[it is ] not surprising , if also also the servants of him
mtasematizonte os diako ni dikeosnes on to tlos

masquerade as servants of righteousness; of whom the end
ste kata ta rga avton

will be according to the works of them.
16
Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I
also may boast a little.
palin lgo me tis m doe afrona ene e

Again I say, Not anyone me should think a fool to be ; if
d melg kan os afrona das me ina kago

however otherwise , even as a fool receive me that I also
mikron ti kavesome
little a might boast.
169
17
What I say, I do not say as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of
boasting.
o lalo u kata krion lalo al os n

What I speak , not according to [the] Lord do I speak but as in
afrosne n tavte te postase tes kavesos

foolishness , in this the confidence of boasting.
18
Since many boast according to the flesh, I will boast also.
pe poli kauvonte kata ten sarka kago kavesome

Since many boast according the flesh , I also will boast.
19
For you, becoming so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.
ed-os gar anse ton afronon froni mi onts!

gladly indeed you bear with fools , intelligent being!
20
For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, anyone devours you, anyone takes advantage of
you, anyone exalts himself, anyone hits you in the face.
ans gar e tis mas kataduli e tis

you bear [it] indeed, if anyone you you bring into bondage, if anyone
katsi-e e tis lambane e tis perte e

devours [you] if anyone takes [from you], if anyone exalts himself, if
tis es prosopon mas dre

anyone on the face of you beats.
21
To my shame I must say that we have shown weakness by comparison. But in whatever
respect anyone else behaves boldlyI speak in foolishnessI behave just as boldly
myself.
kata atimian lgo os oti emes esenekamn n

As to dishonor I speak, as that we were weak ! wherein
o di an tis tolma , n afrosne lgo tolmo

whatever however anyhow anyone might be daring, in foolishness I speak am daring

Do they call themselves Hebrews? So do I. Do they call themselves Israelites? So do I. Do
they call themselves descendants of Abraham? So do I.
bre-i esin kago israelite esin kago sprma

Hebrews are they? I also . Israelites are they? I also. Seed

of Abraham are they? I also.
23
Do they call themselves servants of Christ?I speak as if insaneI more so; in far more
labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of
death.

Servants of Christ are they? as being beside myself I speak, above[measure] I [too];

beatings above measure in deaths often.

Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes.

From [the] Jews, five times, forty [lashes] except one, I received.
25
Three times they beat me with rods, once they stoned me three times, I suffered shipwreck, a
night and a day I have spent in the deep.

three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked,

I have gone on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers

churches.

29
Who has become weak without my becoming weak? Who gets led into sin without my
intense concern?

Who is weak , and not I am weak ? who is lead into sin, and
uk go prume
not I do burn inwardly?
172

If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness.
e kavase de ta tes asne-as mu

If to boast it behooves [in[ the things of the weakness of me

Paul's Vision
1
Boasting may become necessary, though it does not profit; but I will go on to visions and
revelations of the Lord.
kavase de u smfron mn ljusome d es

To boast indeed not is profitable to me; I will come moreover to
optasias ke apolkalpses kriu

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years agowhether in the body I do not know, or out of

Concerning such a one , I will boast ; Concerning however myself,

A Thorn in the Flesh

7
Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from
exalting myself, God gave me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me
to keep me from exalting myself!

And He has said to me, "My grace proves sufficient for you, for power perfects in weakness."

Christ may dwell in me.

strength.

hardships, in persecutions, and difficulties for Christ;
otan gar asno tot dnatos emi

when indeed I might be weak, then strong I am.
11
I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have received
commendation by you, for in no respect did I prove inferior to the most eminent apostles,
even though I seem a nobody.
ggona afron mes m enankasat go gar ofelon

I have become a fool; you me compelled. I indeed ought
f mon snistase udn gar stresa ton prlian

that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

what indeed is it that you were inferior, beyond the rest
klesias e me oti avtos go u katnarkesa

[of the] churches, if not that myself I not did burden
mon arisas mi ten adikian tavten

you? Forgive me the injustice this!
14
Here for this third time I find myself ready to come to you, and I will not burden you; for I
do not seek yours, but you; for children do not have the responsibility to save up for their
parents, but parents for their children.

Behold, third time this, ready I am to come to you, and not

16
But though it may seem, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, crafty fellow that I have
prove myself, I took you in by deceit.
sto d go u katbaresa mas ala paron

be it so however, I not did burden you ; but being

crafty , with trickery you I caught.

Certainly I have not taken advantage of you through any of thosewhom I have sent to you,
have I?
me tina on apstalka pros mas di avtu

not Any of whom I have sent to you , by him
plonktesa mas
did I overreach you?
18
I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you,
did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

I urged Titus and sent with [him] the brother. not
plonktesn mas titos u to avto pnjumati

did exploit you Titus? Not in the same spirit
pripatesamn u tis avtis insin

walked we? not in the same steps?
19
All this time you have thought that we defended ourselves to you. Actually, it has proved in
the sight of God that we have spoken in Christ; and all for your edification, beloved.
pale doket oti min apologuma katnanti -u n

all along do you think that to you we are making a defense? before God in
risto lalumn ta d panta agapeti pr tes

Christ we speak ; of the things moreover and all things, beloved , for
mon ikodomes
your building up.
178
20
For I fear that perhaps when I come I may find you to have become not what I wish and you
may find me not what you wish; that perhaps there will occur strife, jealousy, angry
tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;
fobume gar me pos lon u ius lo juro

I fear indeed lest perhaps, having come , not such as i wish, I should find
mas kago yuro min ion u lt me pos

you, and I be found by you such as not you do wish; lest perhaps
ris zelos mi rie-ekatalali-epsiris mi fsioses akatastasi-e

quarrels, jealousies, anger, contentions, slander , gossip, conceit, disorder;
21
I fear that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over
many of thosewho have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality
and sensuality which they have practiced.
me palin lontos mu tapenose m o os mu pros

lest again having come of me, should humble me the God of me as to
mas ke pneso polus ton proemartekoton

you, and I should mourn over many of thosewho have before sinned,
ke me mtano-esanton pi te akaarsia porne-a

and not having repented of the uncleanness , sexual immorality,
ke aslge-a e praan
and sensuality, which they practiced.
179
Examine Yourselves
1
This constitutes the third time I come to you. EVERY FACT SHOULD RECEIVE
CONFIRMATION BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.
triton tuto romepros mas pi stomatos do martron

third This [time] I am coming to . In [the] mouth mouth of two witnesses
ke trion staeste pan rema

or of three, will be established every matter.
2
I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance
to thosewho have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will
not spare anyone,
pro-ereka ke prolgo os paron to djutron

I have before declared and I say beforehand as being present the second time,

and being absent now to thosewho having before sinned , and to the rest
pasin oti an lo es to palin u fesome

all, that if I come to the [same] again, not I will spare .
3
since you seek for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who does not show weakness
toward you, but mighty in you.
pe dokimen zetete tu n mi laluntos ristu

Since a proof you seek in me speaking of Christ,
os es mas uk asne ala dnate n min

who toward you not is weak, but is powerful in you.
180
4
For indeed He suffered crucifixion because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of
God. For we also seem weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of
God directed toward you.
ke gar stavroe asne-as, ala ze k dnam-os

and indeed he was crucified in weakness , yet he lives by power
-u ke gar emes asnumn n avto ala zesomn

God's; and indeed we are weak in him but we will live
sn avto k dnam-os -u es mas

with him by power God's toward you,
5
Test yourselves to see if you remain in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not
recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ dwells in youunless indeed you fail
the test?
avtus perazt e st n te piste avtus

yourselves examine you if you are in the faith; yourselves
dokimazt e uk pignoskt avtus oti iesus

test or not do you recognize yourselves, that Jesus
ristos n min e meti adoki mi st

6
But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test.
lpizo d oti gnoss oti emes uk smn adoki mi

I hope moreover, that you will know that we not are rejected.
7
Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but
that you may do right, even though we may appear unapproved.
juoma d pros ton on me pise mas kakon

I pray moreover to God[that] not may do you evil
medn u ina emes dokimi fanomn al ina mes

nothing; not that we approved might appear, but that you
to kalon pi-et emes d os adokimi omen

181
8
For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth.
u gar dnama ti kata tes alee-esala pr tes

nothing indeed have we power any against the truth , but for the
alee-as
truth.
9
For we rejoice when we ourselves seem weak but appear strong; this we also pray for, that
you may receive completion.
eromn gar otan emes asnomn mes d dnati t

we rejoice indeed when we might be weak , you however strong might be.
tuto ke juoma ten mon katartisin.

But this also, we pray for the of you perfection.
10
For this reason I write these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity,
in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for
tearing down.
dia tuto tavta apon grafo ina paron me

because of Therefore these things, being absent I write, that being present , not

with severity I might treat [you] , according to the authority which the Lord

gave me , for building up and not for tearing down.

peace; and the God of love and peace will dwell with you.
