| [1]It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851[G5719] for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744[G5738].[G1063] I will comeG2064[G5695] toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. |
[1]Καυχᾶσθαι δεῖ, οὐ συμφέρον μέν, ἐλεύσομαι δὲ εἰς ὀπτασίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεις κυρίου. |
| [2]I knewG1492[G5758] a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492[G5758]; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492[G5758]: GodG2316 knowethG1492[G5758];) such an oneG5108 caught upG726[G5651] toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772. |
[2]οἶδα ἄνθρωπον ἐν χριστῷ πρὸ ἐτῶν δεκατεσσάρων, (εἴτε ἐν σώματι οὐκ οἶδα, εἴτε ἐκτὸς τοῦ σώματος οὐκ οἶδα, ὁ θεὸς οἶδεν), ἁρπαγέντα τὸν τοιοῦτον ἕως τρίτου οὐρανοῦ. |
| [3]AndG2532 I knewG1492[G5758] suchG5108 a manG444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492[G5758]: GodG2316 knowethG1492;[G5758]) |
[3]καὶ οἶδα τὸν τοιοῦτον ἄνθρωπον, (εἴτε ἐν σώματι εἴτε χωρὶς τοῦ σώματος, οὐκ οἶδα, ὁ θεὸς οἶδεν), |
| [4]How thatG3754 he was caught upG726[G5648] intoG1519 paradiseG3857, andG2532 heardG191[G5656] unspeakableG731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832[G5752] for a manG444 to utterG2980.[G5658] |
[4]ὅτι ἡρπάγη εἰς τὸν παράδεισον καὶ ἤκουσεν ἄῤῥητα ῥήματα, ἃ οὐκ ἐξὸν ἀνθρώπῳ λαλῆσαι. |
| [5]OfG5228 such an oneG5108 will I gloryG2744[G5695]: yetG1161 ofG5228 myselfG1683 I willG2744 notG3756 gloryG2744[G5695], butG1508 inG1722 mineG3450 infirmitiesG769. |
[5]ὑπὲρ τοῦ τοιούτου καυχήσομαι, ὑπὲρ δὲ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐ καυχήσομαι, εἰ μὴ ἐν ταῖς ἀσθενείαις· |
| [6]ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309[G5661] to gloryG2744[G5664], I shallG2071 notG3756 beG2071[G5704] a foolG878; forG1063 I will sayG2046[G5692] the truthG225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339[G5736], lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049[G5667] ofG1519 meG1691 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG991[G5719] meG3165 to be, orG2228 that he hearethG191[G5719] ofG5100[G1537] meG1700. |
[6]ἐὰν γὰρ θελήσω καυχήσασθαι, οὐκ ἔσομαι ἄφρων· ἀλήθειαν γὰρ ἐρῶ· φείδομαι δέ, μή τις εἰς ἐμὲ λογίσηται ὑπὲρ ὃ βλέπει με, ἢ ἀκούει ἐξ ἐμοῦ. |
| [7]AndG2532 lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229[G5747] through the abundanceG5236 of the revelationsG602, there was givenG1325[G5681] to meG3427 a thornG4647 in the fleshG4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852[G5725] meG3165, lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229.[G5747] |
[7]Καὶ τῇ ὑπερβολῇ τῶν ἀποκαλύψεων διὸ ἵνα μὴ ὑπεραίρωμαι, ἐδόθη μοι σκόλοψ τῇ σαρκί, ἄγγελος σατανᾶ ἵνα με κολαφίζῃ. |
| [8]ForG5228 this thingG5127 I besoughtG3870[G5656] the LordG2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG868[G5632] fromG575 meG1700. |
[8]ὑπὲρ τούτου τρὶς τὸν κύριον παρεκάλεσα, ἵνα ἀποστῇ ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ. |
| [9]AndG2532 he saidG2046[G5758] unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714[G5719] for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048[G5743] inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744[G5695] inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981[G5661] uponG1909 meG1691. |
[9]καὶ εἴρηκέν μοι, Ἀρκεῖ σοι ἡ χάρις μου· ἡ γὰρ δύναμις ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ τελεῖται. ἥδιστα οὖν μᾶλλον καυχήσομαι ἐν ταῖς ἀσθενείαις [μου], ἵνα ἐπισκηνώσῃ ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἡ δύναμις τοῦ χριστοῦ. |
| [10]ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106[G5719] inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770[G5725], thenG5119 amG1510[G5748] I strongG1415. |
[10]διὸ εὐδοκῶ ἐν ἀσθενείαις, ἐν ὕβρεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν διωγμοῖς, ἐν στενοχωρίαις, ὑπὲρ χριστοῦ· ὅταν γὰρ ἀσθενῶ, τότε δυνατός εἰμι. |
| [11]I am becomeG1096[G5754] a foolG878 in gloryingG2744[G5740]; yeG5210 have compelledG315[G5656] meG3165: forG1063 IG1473 oughtG3784[G5707] to have been commendedG4921[G5745] ofG5259 youG5216: forG1063 in nothingG3762 am I behindG5302[G5656] the very chiefestG3029 apostlesG652[G5228], thoughG1499 I beG1510[G5748] nothingG3762. |
[11]γέγονα ἄφρων· ὑμεῖς με ἠναγκάσατε. ἐγὼ γὰρ ὤφειλον ὑφ᾽ ὑμῶν συνίστασθαι· οὐδὲν γὰρ ὑστέρησα τῶν ὑπὲρ λίαν ἀποστόλων, εἰ καὶ οὐδέν εἰμι. |
| [12]TrulyG3303 the signsG4592 of an apostleG652 were wroughtG2716[G5681] amongG1722 youG5213 inG1722 allG3956 patienceG5281, inG1722 signsG4592, andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 mighty deedsG1411. |
[12]τὰ μὲν σημεῖα τοῦ ἀποστόλου κατειργάσθη ἐν ὑμῖν ἐν πάσῃ ὑπομονῇ, σημείοις καὶ τέρασιν καὶ δυνάμεσιν. |
| [13]ForG1063 whatG5101 is itG2076[G5748] whereinG3739 ye were inferiorG2274[G5681] toG5228 otherG3062 churchesG1577, exceptG1508 it be thatG3754 IG1473 myselfG846 wasG2655 notG3756 burdensomeG2655[G5656] to youG5216? forgiveG5483[G5663] meG3427 thisG5026 wrongG93. |
[13]τί γάρ ἐστιν ὃ ἡσσώθητε ὑπὲρ τὰς λοιπὰς ἐκκλησίας, εἰ μὴ ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐγὼ οὐ κατενάρκησα ὑμῶν; χαρίσασθέ μοι τὴν ἀδικίαν ταύτην. |
| [14]BeholdG2400[G5628], the third timeG5154 I amG2192[G5719] readyG2093 to comeG2064[G5629] toG4314 youG5209; andG2532 I willG2655 notG3756 be burdensomeG2655[G5692] to youG5216: forG1063 I seekG2212[G5719] notG3756 yoursG5216, butG235 youG5209: forG1063 the childrenG5043 oughtG3784[G5719] notG3756 to lay upG2343[G5721] for the parentsG1118, butG235 the parentsG1118 for the childrenG5043. |
[14]ἰδοὺ τρίτον τοῦτο ἑτοίμως ἔχω ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐ καταναρκήσω· οὐ γὰρ ζητῶ τὰ ὑμῶν, ἀλλὰ ὑμᾶς. οὐ γὰρ ὀφείλει τὰ τέκνα τοῖς γονεῦσιν θησαυρίζειν, ἀλλὰ οἱ γονεῖς τοῖς τέκνοις· |
| [15]AndG1161 IG1473 will very gladlyG2236 spendG1159[G5692] andG2532 be spentG1550[G5701] forG5228 youG5590[G5216]; thoughG1499 the more abundantlyG4056 I loveG25[G5723] youG5209, the lessG2276 I be lovedG25.[G5743] |
[15]ἐγὼ δὲ ἥδιστα δαπανήσω καὶ ἐκδαπανηθήσομαι ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν, εἰ περισσοτέρως ὑμᾶς ἀγαπῶν ἧσσον ἀγαπῶμαι. |
| [16]ButG1161 be it soG2077[G5749], IG1473 didG2599 notG3756 burdenG2599[G5656] youG5209: neverthelessG235, beingG5225[G5723] craftyG3835, I caughtG2983[G5627] youG5209 with guileG1388. |
[16]ἔστω δέ, ἐγὼ οὐ κατεβάρησα ὑμᾶς· ἀλλὰ ὑπάρχων πανοῦργος, δόλῳ ὑμᾶς ἔλαβον. |
| [17]Did I make a gainG4122[G5656][G3361] of youG5209 byG1223 anyG5100 of themG846 whomG3739 I sentG649[G5758] untoG4314 youG5209? |
[17]μή τινα ὧν ἀπέσταλκα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐπλεονέκτησα ὑμᾶς; |
| [18]I desiredG3870[G5656] TitusG5103, andG2532 with him I sentG4882[G5656] a brotherG80. DidG4122[G3387] TitusG5103 make a gainG4122[G5656] of youG5209? walked weG4043[G5656] notG3756 in the sameG846 spiritG4151? walked we notG3756 in the sameG846 stepsG2487? |
[18]παρεκάλεσα Τίτον, καὶ συναπέστειλα τὸν ἀδελφόν· μή τι ἐπλεονέκτησεν ὑμᾶς Τίτος; οὐ τῷ αὐτῷ πνεύματι περιεπατήσαμεν; οὐ τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἴχνεσιν; |
| [19]AgainG3825, think yeG1380[G5719] thatG3754 we excuse ourselvesG626[G5736] unto youG5213? we speakG2980[G5719] beforeG2714 GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547: butG1161 we do all thingsG3956, dearly belovedG27, forG5228 yourG5216 edifyingG3619. |
[19]πάλαι δοκεῖτε ὅτι ὑμῖν ἀπολογούμεθα. κατέναντι θεοῦ ἐν χριστῷ λαλοῦμεν· τὰ δὲ πάντα, ἀγαπητοί, ὑπὲρ τῆς ὑμῶν οἰκοδομῆς. |
| [20]ForG1063 I fearG5399[G5736], lestG3381[G4458], when I comeG2064[G5631], I shallG2147 notG3756 findG2147[G5632] youG5209 such asG3634 I wouldG2309[G5719], and that IG2504 shall be foundG2147[G5686] unto youG5213 such asG3634 ye wouldG2309[G5719] notG3756: lestG3381[G4458] there be debatesG2054, envyingsG2205, wrathsG2372, strifesG2052, backbitingsG2636, whisperingsG5587, swellingsG5450, tumultsG181: |
[20]φοβοῦμαι γὰρ μή πως ἐλθὼν οὐχ οἵους θέλω εὕρω ὑμᾶς, κἀγὼ εὑρεθῶ ὑμῖν οἷον οὐ θέλετε, μή πως ἔρεις ζῆλος θυμοὶ ἐριθεῖαι καταλαλιαὶ ψιθυρισμοὶ φυσιώσεις ἀκαταστασίαι. |
| [21]And lestG3361, when I comeG2064[G5631] againG3825, myG3450 GodG2316 will humbleG5013[G5661] meG3165 amongG4314 youG5209, andG2532 that I shall bewailG3996[G5692] manyG4183 whichG3588 have sinned alreadyG4258[G5761], andG2532 haveG3340 notG3361 repentedG3340[G5660] ofG1909 the uncleannessG167 andG2532 fornicationG4202 andG2532 lasciviousnessG766 whichG3739 they have committedG4238.[G5656] |
[21]μὴ πάλιν ἐλθόντος μου ταπεινώσει με ὁ θεός μου πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ πενθήσω πολλοὺς τῶν προημαρτηκότων καὶ μὴ μετανοησάντων ἐπὶ τῇ ἀκαθαρσίᾳ καὶ πορνείᾳ καὶ ἀσελγείᾳ ᾗ ἔπραξαν; |
