Epistola II ad Corinthios

Has ergo habentes promissiones, carissimi, mundemus nos ab omni inquinamento carnis et spiritus, perficientes sanctificationem in timore Dei.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God.

Hoc ergo habe promissiones, carissimo, munda nos ab omni inquinamento de carne et de spiritu, perfice sanctificatione in timore de Deo.

Capite nos. Neminem læsimus, neminem corrupimus, neminem circumvenimus.

Receive us. We have injured no man: we have corrupted no man: we have overreached no man.

Capite nos. Nemine laede, nemine corrumpe, nemine circumvenie.

Non ad condemnationem vestram dico: prædiximus enim quod in cordibus nostris estis ad commoriendum et ad convivendum.

I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before that you are in our hearts: to die together and to live together.

Non ad condemnatione vestro dic: praedica nam quod in cordes nostro es ad commorior et ad conviva.

Multa mihi fiducia est apud vos, multa mihi gloriatio pro vobis: repletus sum consolatione; superabundo gaudio in omni tribulatione nostra.

Great is my confidence for you: great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.

Multo ad me fiducia es apud vos, multo ad me gloriatione pro vos: reple es consolatione; superabunda gaudio in omni tribulatione nostro.

Nam et cum venissemus in Macedoniam, nullam requiem habuit caro nostra, sed omnem tribulationem passi sumus: foris pugnæ, intus timores.

For also, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest: but we suffered all tribulation. Combats without: fears within.

Nam et cum veni in Macedonia, nullo requie carne nostro habe, sed omni tribulatione pate es: foris de pugna, intus timores.

Sed qui consolatur humiles, consolatus est nos Deus in adventu Titi.

But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.

Sed qui consola humili, consola es nos Deo in adventu de Tito.

Non solum autem in adventu ejus, sed etiam in consolatione, qua consolatus est in vobis, referens nobis vestrum desiderium, vestrum fletum, vestram æmulationem pro me, ita ut magis gauderem.

And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me: so that I rejoiced the more.

Non solo autem in adventu de illo, sed etiam in consolatione, quo consola es in vos, refer ad nos vestro desiderio, vestro fletu, vestro aemulatione pro me, ita ut magis gaude.

Quoniam etsi contristavi vos in epistola, non me pœnitet: etsi pœniteret, videns quod epistola illa (etsi ad horam) vos contristavit,

For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent. And if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful,

Quia etsi contrista vos in epistola, non me poenite: etsi poenite, vidente quod epistola illa (etsi ad hora) vos contrista,

nunc gaudeo: non quia contristati estis, sed quia contristati estis ad pœnitentiam. Contristati enim estis ad Deum, ut in nullo detrimentum patiamini ex nobis.

Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful, but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.

Nunc gaude: non quia contrista es, sed quia contrista es ad poenitentia. Contrista nam es ad Deo, ut in nullo detrimento pate ex nos.

Quæ enim secundum Deum tristitia est, pœnitentiam in salutem stabilem operatur: sæculi autem tristitia mortem operatur.

For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Que nam secundo Deo tristitia es, poenitentia in salute stabile operor: de saeculo autem tristitia morte operor.

Ecce enim hoc ipsum, secundum Deum contristari vos, quantam in vobis operatur sollicitudinem: sed defensionem, sed indignationem, sed timorem, sed desiderium, sed æmulationem, sed vindictam: in omnibus exhibuistis vos incontaminatos esse negotio.

For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you: yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge. In all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.

Ecce nam hoc ipso, secundo Deo contrista vos, quanto in vos operor sollicitudine: sed defensione, sed indignatione, sed timore, sed desiderio, sed aemulatione, sed vindicta: in omni exhibe vos incontaminato es negotio.

Igitur, etsi scripsi vobis, non propter eum qui fecit injuriam, nec propter eum qui passus est: sed ad manifestandam sollicitudinem nostram, quam habemus pro vobis

Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it: but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you

Ergo, etsi scribe ad vos, non propter illo qui fac iniuria, nec propter illo qui passo es: sed ad manifesta sollicitudine nostro, quam habe pro vos

coram Deo: ideo consolati sumus. In consolatione autem nostra, abundantius magis gavisi sumus super gaudio Titi, quia refectus est spiritus ejus ab omnibus vobis:

Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

Coram Deo: ideo consola es. In consolatione autem nostro, abundanter magis gaude es super gaudio de Tito, quia reficie es spiritu de illo ab omni vos:

et si quid apud illum de vobis gloriatus sum, non sum confusus: sed sicut omnia vobis in veritate locuti sumus, ita et gloriatio nostra, quæ fuit ad Titum, veritas facta est,

And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame: but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.

Et si quid apud illo de vos glorior es, non es confunde: sed sicut omni ad vos in veritate loque es, ita et gloriatione nostro, que es ad Tito, veritate facto es,

et viscera ejus abundantius in vobis sunt, reminiscentis omnium vestrum obedientiam: quomodo cum timore et tremore excepistis illum.

And his bowels are more abundantly towards you: remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.

Et visceras de illo abundanter in vos es, reminisce de omni vestro obedientia: quomodo cum timore et tremore excipe illo.

Gaudeo quod in omnibus confido in vobis.

I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.

Gaude quod in omni confide in vos.
