Comparison
2 Corinthians 2
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow. | Statui autem hoc ipsum apud me, ne iterum in tristitia venirem ad vos. |
| 2 | For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me? | Si enim ego contristo vos: et quis est, qui me laetificet, nisi qui contristatur ex me? |
| 3 | And I wrote this same to you; that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow, from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. | Et hoc ipsum scripsi vobis, ut non cum venero, tristitiam super tristitiam habeam, de quibus oportuerat me gaudere: confidens in omnibus vobis, quia meum gaudium, omnium vestrum est. |
| 4 | For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you. | Nam ex multa tribulatione et angustia cordis scripsi vobis per multas lacrimas: non ut contristemini, sed ut sciatis, quam caritatem habeam abundantius in vobis. |
| 5 | And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all. | Si quis autem contristavit, non me contristavit: sed ex parte, ut non onerem omnes vos. |
| 6 | To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many: | Sufficit illi, qui eiusmodi est, obiurgatio haec, quae fit a pluribus: |
| 7 | So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. | ita ut e contrario magis donetis, et consolemini, ne forte abundantiori tristitia absorbeatur qui eiusmodi est. |
| 8 | Wherefore, I beseech you, that you would confirm your charity towards him. | Propter quod obsecro vos, ut confirmetis in illum caritatem. |
| 9 | For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things. | Ideo enim et scripsi, ut cognoscam experimentum vestrum, an in omnibus obedientes sitis. |
| 10 | And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ. | Cui autem aliquid donastis, et ego: nam et ego quod donavi, si quid donavi, propter vos in persona Christi, |
| 11 | That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices. | ut non circumveniamur a Satana: non enim ignoramus cogitationes eius. |
| 12 | And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened unto me in the Lord, | Cum venissem autem Troadem propter Evangelium Christi, et ostium mihi apertum esset in Domino, |
| 13 | I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia. | non habui requiem spiritui meo, eo quod non invenerim Titum fratrem meum, sed valefaciens eis, profectus sum in Macedoniam. |
| 14 | Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place. | Deo autem gratias, qui semper triumphat nos in Christo Iesu, et odorem notitiae suae manifestat per nos in omni loco: |
| 15 | For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish. | quia Christi bonus odor sumus Deo in iis qui salvi fiunt, et in iis qui pereunt: |
| 16 | To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient? | aliis quidem odor mortis in mortem: aliis autem odor vitae in vitam. Et ad haec quis tam idoneus? |
| 17 | For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak. | non enim sumus sicut plurimi, adulterantes verbum Dei, sed ex sinceritate, sed sicut ex Deo, coram Deo, in Christo loquimur. |
