2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

Poul, apostle of Jhesu Crist, bi the wille of God, and Tymothe, brothir, to the chirche of God that is at Corinthi, with alle seyntis that ben in al Acaie, grace to you,

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

and pees of God oure fadir and of the Lord Jhesu Crist.

3 Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

Blessid be God and the fadir of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, fadir of mercies, and God of al coumfort,

4 who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

which coumfortith vs in al oure tribulacioun, that also we moun coumforte hem, that ben in al diseese, bi the monestyng bi which also we ben monestid of God.

5 because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

For as the passiouns of Crist ben plenteuouse in vs, so also bi Crist oure coumfort is plenteuouse.

6 and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;

And whether we ben in tribulacioun, for youre tribulacioun and heelthe, ethir we ben coumfortid, for youre coumfort, ethir we ben monestid, for youre monestyng and heelthe. Which worchith in you the suffring of the same passiouns, whiche `we also suffren,

7 and our hope [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings — so also of the comfort.

that oure hope be sad for you; witynge for as ye ben felowis of passiouns, so ye schulen ben also of coumfort.

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we despaired even of life;

For, britheren, we wolen that ye wite of oure tribulacioun, that was don in Asie; for ouer maner we weren greued ouer myyt, so that it anoiede vs, yhe, to lyue.

9 but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

But we in vs silf hadden answere of deth, that we truste not in vs, but in God that reisith deed men.

10 who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

Which delyuerede vs, and delyuerith fro so grete perelis, in to whom we hopen, also yit he schal delyuere,

11 ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

while also ye helpen in preier for vs; that of the persones of many faces of that yyuyng that is in vs, thankyngis ben don for vs bi many men to God.

12 For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

For oure glorie is this, the witnessyng of oure conscience, that in symplenesse and clennesse of God, and not in fleischli wisdom, but in the grace of God, we lyueden in this world, but more plenteuousli to you.

13 for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,

And we writen not othere thingis to you, than tho that ye han red and knowe, and Y hope that in to the ende ye schulen knowe,

14 according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye [are] ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus;

as also ye han knowe vs a parti; for we ben youre glorie, as also ye ben oure in the dai of oure Lord Jhesu Crist.

15 and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,

And in this tristyng Y wolde first come to you, that ye schulden haue the secounde grace,

16 and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea.

and passe bi you in to Macedonye, and eft fro Macedonye come to you, and of you be led in to Judee.

17 This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

But whanne Y wolde this thing, whether Y vside vnstidfastnesse, ether tho thingis that Y thenke, Y thenke aftir the fleisch, that at me be, it is and it is not?

18 and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,

But God is trewe, for oure word that was at you is and is not, is not ther ynne, but is is in it.

19 for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached — through me and Silvanus and Timotheus — did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;

For whi Jhesus Crist, the sone of God, which is prechid among you bi vs, bi me, and Syluan, and Tymothe, ther was not in hym is and is not, but is was in hym.

20 for as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

For whi hou many euer ben biheestis of God, in thilke is, `that is, ben fillid. And therfor and bi hym we seien amen to God, to oure glorie.

21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, [is] God,

Sotheli it is God that confermeth vs with you in Crist, and the which God anoyntide vs,

22 who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

and which markide vs, and yaf ernes of the spirit in oure hertis.

23 And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth;

For Y clepide God to witnesse ayens my soule, that Y sparynge you cam not ouer to Corynthe;

24 not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.

not that we ben lordis of youre feith, but we ben helperis of youre ioye; for thorouy bileue ye stonden.
