Polyglot Bible: 2 Corinthians: 2 Corinthians 4

GNT

1 διὰ τοῦτο, ἔχοντες τὴν διακονίαν ταύτην, καθὼς ἠλεήθημεν, οὐκ ἐγκακοῦμεν,

2 ἀλλὰ ἀπειπάμεθα τὰ κρυπτὰ τῆς αἰσχύνης, μὴ περιπατοῦντες ἐν πανουργίᾳ μηδὲ δολοῦντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ τῇ φανερώσει τῆς ἀληθείας συνιστάνοντες ἑαυτοὺς πρὸς πᾶσαν συνείδησιν ἀνθρώπων ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ.

3 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἔστιν κεκαλυμμένον τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἡμῶν, ἐν τοῖς ἀπολλυμένοις ἐστὶν κεκαλυμμένον,

4 ἐν οἷς ὁ θεὸς τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου ἐτύφλωσεν τὰ νοήματα τῶν ἀπίστων εἰς τὸ μὴ αὐγάσαι τὸν φωτισμὸν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τῆς δόξης τοῦ χριστοῦ, ὅς ἐστιν εἰκὼν τοῦ θεοῦ.

5 οὐ γὰρ ἑαυτοὺς κηρύσσομεν ἀλλὰ ἰησοῦν χριστὸν κύριον, ἑαυτοὺς δὲ δούλους ὑμῶν διὰ ἰησοῦν.

6 ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ὁ εἰπών, ἐκ σκότους φῶς λάμψει, ὃς ἔλαμψεν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν πρὸς φωτισμὸν τῆς γνώσεως τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν προσώπῳ [ἰησοῦ] χριστοῦ.

7 ἔχομεν δὲ τὸν θησαυρὸν τοῦτον ἐν ὀστρακίνοις σκεύεσιν, ἵνα ἡ ὑπερβολὴ τῆς δυνάμεως ᾖ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ μὴ ἐξ ἡμῶν·

8 ἐν παντὶ θλιβόμενοι ἀλλ᾽ οὐ στενοχωρούμενοι, ἀπορούμενοι ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἐξαπορούμενοι,

9 διωκόμενοι ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἐγκαταλειπόμενοι, καταβαλλόμενοι ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἀπολλύμενοι,

10 πάντοτε τὴν νέκρωσιν τοῦ ἰησοῦ ἐν τῶ σώματι περιφέροντες, ἵνα καὶ ἡ ζωὴ τοῦ ἰησοῦ ἐν τῶ σώματι ἡμῶν φανερωθῇ.

11 ἀεὶ γὰρ ἡμεῖς οἱ ζῶντες εἰς θάνατον παραδιδόμεθα διὰ ἰησοῦν, ἵνα καὶ ἡ ζωὴ τοῦ ἰησοῦ φανερωθῇ ἐν τῇ θνητῇ σαρκὶ ἡμῶν.

12 ὥστε ὁ θάνατος ἐν ἡμῖν ἐνεργεῖται, ἡ δὲ ζωὴ ἐν ὑμῖν.

13 ἔχοντες δὲ τὸ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα τῆς πίστεως, κατὰ τὸ γεγραμμένον, ἐπίστευσα, διὸ ἐλάλησα, καὶ ἡμεῖς πιστεύομεν, διὸ καὶ λαλοῦμεν,

14 εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ ἐγείρας τὸν κύριον ἰησοῦν καὶ ἡμᾶς σὺν ἰησοῦ ἐγερεῖ καὶ παραστήσει σὺν ὑμῖν.

15 τὰ γὰρ πάντα δι᾽ ὑμᾶς, ἵνα ἡ χάρις πλεονάσασα διὰ τῶν πλειόνων τὴν εὐχαριστίαν περισσεύσῃ εἰς τὴν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ.

16 διὸ οὐκ ἐγκακοῦμεν, ἀλλ᾽ εἰ καὶ ὁ ἔξω ἡμῶν ἄνθρωπος διαφθείρεται, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ἔσω ἡμῶν ἀνακαινοῦται ἡμέρᾳ καὶ ἡμέρᾳ.

17 τὸ γὰρ παραυτίκα ἐλαφρὸν τῆς θλίψεως ἡμῶν καθ᾽ ὑπερβολὴν εἰς ὑπερβολὴν αἰώνιον βάρος δόξης κατεργάζεται ἡμῖν,

18 μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.

1  Therefore^{1223 5124} seeing we have²¹⁹² this⁵⁰²⁶ ministry,¹²⁴⁸ as²⁵³¹ we have received mercy,¹⁶⁵³ we faint¹⁵⁷³ not;³⁷⁵⁶

2  But²³⁵ have renounced⁵⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ hidden things²⁹²⁷ of dishonesty,¹⁵² not³³⁶¹ walking⁴⁰⁴³ in¹⁷²² craftiness,³⁸³⁴ nor³³⁶⁶ handling the word of God deceitfully;^{1389 3588 3056 2316} but²³⁵ by manifestation⁵³²¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ truth²²⁵ commending⁴⁹²¹ ourselves¹⁴³⁸ to⁴³¹⁴ every³⁹⁵⁶ man's⁴⁴⁴ conscience⁴⁸⁹³ in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of God.²³¹⁶

3  But¹¹⁶¹ if^{1487 2532} our²²⁵⁷ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ be²⁰⁷⁶ hid,²⁵⁷² it is²⁰⁷⁶ hid²⁵⁷² to¹⁷²² them that are lost:⁶²²

4  In¹⁷²² whom³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ god²³¹⁶ of this⁵¹²⁷ world¹⁶⁵ hath blinded⁵¹⁸⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ minds³⁵⁴⁰ of them which believe not,⁵⁷¹ lest³³⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ light⁵⁴⁶² of the³⁵⁸⁸ glorious¹³⁹¹ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ who³⁷³⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ the image¹⁵⁰⁴ of God,²³¹⁶ should shine⁸²⁶ unto them.⁸⁴⁶

5  For¹⁰⁶³ we preach²⁷⁸⁴ not³⁷⁵⁶ ourselves,¹⁴³⁸ but²³⁵ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ the Lord;²⁹⁶² and¹¹⁶¹ ourselves¹⁴³⁸ your⁵²¹⁶ servants¹⁴⁰¹ for Jesus' sake.^{1223 2424}

6  For³⁷⁵⁴ God,²³¹⁶ who commanded²⁰³⁶ the light⁵⁴⁵⁷ to shine²⁹⁸⁹ out of¹⁵³⁷ darkness,⁴⁶⁵⁵ hath³⁷³⁹ shined²⁹⁸⁹ in¹⁷²² our²²⁵⁷ hearts,²⁵⁸⁸ to⁴³¹⁴ give the light⁵⁴⁶² of the³⁵⁸⁸ knowledge¹¹⁰⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ glory¹³⁹¹ of God²³¹⁶ in¹⁷²² the face⁴³⁸³ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

7  But¹¹⁶¹ we have²¹⁹² this⁵¹²⁶ treasure²³⁴⁴ in¹⁷²² earthen³⁷⁴⁹ vessels,⁴⁶³² that²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ excellency⁵²³⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ power¹⁴¹¹ may be⁵⁶⁰⁰ of God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² not³³⁶¹ of¹⁵³⁷ us.²²⁵⁷

8  We are troubled²³⁴⁶ on¹⁷²² every side,³⁹⁵⁶ yet²³⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ distressed;⁴⁷²⁹ we are perplexed,⁶³⁹ but²³⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ in despair;¹⁸²⁰

9  Persecuted,¹³⁷⁷ but²³⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ forsaken;¹⁴⁵⁹ cast down,²⁵⁹⁸ but²³⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ destroyed;⁶²²

10  Always³⁸⁴² bearing about⁴⁰⁶⁴ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ body⁴⁹⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ dying³⁵⁰⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ that²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ life²²²² also²⁵³² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ might be made manifest⁵³¹⁹ in¹⁷²² our²²⁵⁷ body.⁴⁹⁸³

11  For¹⁰⁶³ we²²⁴⁹ which live²¹⁹⁸ are always¹⁰⁴ delivered³⁸⁶⁰ unto¹⁵¹⁹ death²²⁸⁸ for Jesus' sake,^{1223 2424} that²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ life²²²² also²⁵³² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ might be made manifest⁵³¹⁹ in¹⁷²² our²²⁵⁷ mortal²³⁴⁹ flesh.⁴⁵⁶¹

12  So then^{5620 3303} death²²⁸⁸ worketh¹⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² us,⁵²¹³ but¹¹⁶¹ life²²²² in¹⁷²² you.²²⁵⁴

13  ¹¹⁶¹ We having²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of faith,⁴¹⁰² according as²⁵⁹⁶ it is written,¹¹²⁵ I believed,⁴¹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² therefore¹³⁵² have I spoken;²⁹⁸⁰ we²²⁴⁹ also²⁵³² believe,⁴¹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² therefore¹³⁵² speak;²⁹⁸⁰

14  Knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ he which raised up¹⁴⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ shall raise up¹⁴⁵³ us²²⁴⁸ also²⁵³² by¹²²³ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² shall present³⁹³⁶ us with⁴⁸⁶² you.⁵²¹³

15  For¹⁰⁶³ all things³⁹⁵⁶ are for your sakes,^{1223 5209} that²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ abundant⁴¹²¹ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ might through¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ thanksgiving²¹⁶⁹ of many⁴¹¹⁹ redound⁴⁰⁵² to¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ glory¹³⁹¹ of God.²³¹⁶

16  For which cause¹³⁵² we faint¹⁵⁷³ not;³⁷⁵⁶ but²³⁵ though¹⁴⁹⁹ our²²⁵⁷ outward¹⁸⁵⁴ man⁴⁴⁴ perish,¹³¹¹ yet²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ inward²⁰⁸¹ man is renewed³⁴¹ day by day.^{2250 2532 2250}

17  For¹⁰⁶³ our²²⁵⁷ light¹⁶⁴⁵ affliction,²³⁴⁷ which is but for a moment,³⁹¹⁰ worketh²⁷¹⁶ for us²²⁵⁴ a far more exceeding^{2596 5236 1519 5236} and eternal¹⁶⁶ weight⁹²² of glory;¹³⁹¹

18  While we²²⁵⁷ look not at^{4648 3361} the things which are seen,⁹⁹¹ but²³⁵ at the things which are not seen:^{991 3361} for¹⁰⁶³ the things which are seen⁹⁹¹ are temporal;⁴³⁴⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ the things which are not seen^{991 3361} are eternal.¹⁶⁶

Vul

1 Ideo habentes administrationem, juxta quod misericordiam consecuti sumus, non deficimus,

2 sed abdicamus occulta dedecoris, non ambulantes in astutia, neque adulterantes verbum Dei, sed in manifestatione veritatis commendantes nosmetipsos ad omnem conscientiam hominum coram Deo.

3 Quod si etiam opertum est Evangelium nostrum, in iis, qui pereunt, est opertum:

4 in quibus Deus hujus sæculi excæcavit mentes infidelium, ut non fulgeat illis illuminatio Evangelii gloriæ Christi, qui est imago Dei.

5 Non enim nosmetipsos prædicamus, sed Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum: nos autem servos vestros per Jesum:

6 quoniam Deus, qui dixit de tenebris lucem splendescere, ipse illuxit in cordibus nostris ad illuminationem scientiæ claritatis Dei, in facie Christi Jesu.

7 Habemus autem thesaurum istum in vasis fictilibus: ut sublimitas sit virtutis Dei, et non ex nobis.

8 In omnibus tribulationem patimur, sed non angustiamur: aporiamur, sed non destituimur:

9 persecutionem patimur, sed non derelinquimur: dejicimur, sed non perimus:

10 semper mortificationem Jesu in corpore nostro circumferentes, ut et vita Jesu manifestetur in corporibus nostris.

11 Semper enim nos, qui vivimus, in mortem tradimur propter Jesum: ut et vita Jesu manifestetur in carne nostra mortali.

12 Ergo mors in nobis operatur, vita autem in vobis.

13 Habentes autem eumdem spiritum fidei, sicut scriptum est: Credidi, propter quod locutus sum: et nos credimus, propter quod et loquimur:

14 scientes quoniam qui suscitavit Jesum, et nos cum Jesu suscitabit, et constituet vobiscum.

15 Omnia enim propter vos: ut gratia abundans, per multos in gratiarum actione, abundet in gloriam Dei.

16 Propter quod non deficimus: sed licet is, qui foris est, noster homo corrumpatur, tamen is, qui intus est, renovatur de die in diem.

17 Id enim, quod in præsenti est momentaneum et leve tribulationis nostræ, supra modum in sublimitate æternum gloriæ pondus operatur in nobis,

18 non contemplantibus nobis quæ videntur, sed quæ non videntur. Quæ enim videntur, temporalia sunt: quæ autem non videntur, æterna sunt.
