¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

¹Pavel, apoštol Ježiša Krista, vôľou Božou a brat Timoteus cirkvi Božej, ktorá je v Korinte, so všetkými svätými, ktorí sú v celej Achaji:

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

²milosť vám a pokoj od Boha, nášho Otca, a od Pána Ježiša Krista.

³Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

³Požehnaný Bôh a Otec nášho Pána Ježiša Krista, Otec milosrdenstiev a Bôh každého potešenia,

⁴Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

⁴ktorý nás teší v každom našom súžení, aby sme aj my mohli tešiť tých, ktorí sú v akomkoľvek súžení, potešením, ktorým sme sami tešení od Boha.

⁵For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

⁵Lebo jako hojnejú utrpenia Kristove proti nám, tak skrze Krista hojneje i naše potešenie.

⁶And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

⁶A buď že sme súžení - za vaše potešenie a spasenie, ktoré pôsobí v trpezlivom znášaní tých istých utrpení, ktoré aj my trpíme; buď že sme tešení - za vaše potešenie a spasenie, a naša nádej je pevná za vás,

⁷And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

⁷vediac, že jako ste účastníkmi utrpení, tak i potešenia.

⁸For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

⁸Lebo nechceme, aby ste nevedeli, bratia, o našom súžení, ktoré sme mali v Ázii, že sme boli nad mieru obťažení, nad svoju silu, takže sme pochybovali aj o svojom živote;

⁹But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

⁹ale sami v sebe boli sme dostali odvetu smrti nato, aby sme nedúfali sami v seba, ale v Boha, ktorý kriesi mŕtvych,

¹⁰Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

¹⁰ktorý nás vytrhol z takej veľkej smrti a vytrhuje, na ktorého sa nadejeme, že aj ešte vytrhne,

¹¹Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

¹¹keď aj vy spolu pôsobíte modlitbou za nás, aby mnoho osôb ďakovalo za nás za dar milosti, nám daný skrze mnohých.

¹²For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

¹²Lebo našou chválou je toto: svedoctvo nášho svedomia, že v svätosti, (prostote) a v čistote Božej, nie v telesnej múdrosti, ale v milosti Božej sme obcovali na svete a zvlášte u vás,

¹³For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

¹³lebo vám nepíšeme iného, ale iba to, čo čítate alebo čo i dobre znáte, a nadejem sa, že aj až do konca znať budete,

¹⁴As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁴jako ste nás aj poznali z čiastky, že sme vašou chlúbou, jako aj vy našou v deň nášho Pána Ježiša.

¹⁵And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

¹⁵A v tejto dôvere som chcel tam prv prijsť k vám, aby ste mali druhú milosť,

¹⁶And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.

¹⁶a potom od vás ísť do Macedonie a z Macedonie zase prijsť k vám, aby ste ma potom doprevadili do Judska.

¹⁷When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

¹⁷Keď som teda to chcel, či to tedy bola ľahkomyseľnosť z mojej strany? Alebo to, čo si kedy umyslím, či si to umyslím podľa tela, aby bolo u mňa áno áno a nie nie?

¹⁸But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

¹⁸Ale verný je Bôh, že naše slovo, vám hovorené, nebolo áno a nie.

¹⁹For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

¹⁹Lebo Syn Boží, Ježiš Kristus, ktorý bol skrze nás medzi vami kázaný, skrze mňa a Silvána a Timotea, nebol áno a nie, ale bolo áno a v ňom.

²⁰For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

²⁰Lebo všetky zasľúbenia Božie, koľko ich je, sú v ňom áno a preto aj skrze neho ameň, Bohu na slávu skrze nás.

²¹Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

²¹Avšak ten, kto nás spolu s vami upevňuje v Krista a nás pomazal, je Bôh,

²²Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

²²ktorý si nás i zapečatil a dal závdavok Ducha do našich sŕdc.

²³Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

²³No, ja volám Boha za svedka na svoju dušu, že preto, že som vás šetril, neprišiel som viac do Korintu.

²⁴Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

²⁴Nie že by sme panovali nad vašou vierou, ale že sme spolupracovníkmi na vašej radosti, lebo vierou stojíte.
