¹² · ho For gar our hēmeis confidence kauchēsis is eimi this houtos, the ho testimony martyrion of ho our hēmeis conscience syneidēsis, that hoti with en simplicity haplotēs and kai sincerity eilikrineia like that of ho God theos, and kai not ou with en earthly sarkikos wisdom sophia but alla by en the grace charis of God theos, we conducted anastrephō ourselves in en the ho world kosmos, and de all the more perissoterōs toward pros you hymeis. ¹³ Now gar we are graphō not ou writing graphō you hymeis anything allos other alla than ē what hos you can read anaginōskō and ē also kai understand epiginōskō. But de I hope elpizō that hoti you will understand epiginōskō fully heōs telos, ¹⁴ just as kathōs also kai you have understood epiginōskō us hēmeis partially apo meros, that hoti we are eimi your hymeis source of pride kauchēma, as kathaper you hymeis also kai are ours hēmeis, in en the ho day hēmera of the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous.

¹⁵ And kai because of this houtos · ho confidence pepoithēsis, I was intending boulomai to come erchomai to pros you hymeis first proteros, so that hina you might have echō a second deuteros benefit charis— ¹⁶ · kai through dia your hymeis help, to go dierchomai on to eis Macedonia Makedonia, and kai from apo Macedonia Makedonia to come erchomai back palin to pros you hymeis and kai to be helped by hypo you hymeis on my way propempō to eis · ho Judea Ioudaia. ¹⁷ Therefore oun when I was planning boulomai this houtos, I was chraomai not mēti · ho capricious elaphria, was I? Or ē the hos things I plan bouleuō, do I plan bouleuō according kata to the flesh sarx, so that hina with para me egō it would be eimi · ho “ Yes nai, yes nai” and kai · ho “ No ou, no ou” at the same time? ¹⁸ But de as surely as God theos is trustworthy pistos, · ho · ho our hēmeis word logos · ho to pros you hymeis has not ou been eimi “ Yes nai” and kai “ No ou.” ¹⁹ For gar the ho Son hyios of ho God theos, Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, the ho one who was proclaimed kēryssō among en you hymeis by dia us hēmeis— by dia me egō, · kai Silvanus Silouanos, and kai Timothy Timotheos— was ginomai not ou “ Yes nai” and kai “ No ou,” but alla in en him autos it has always been ginomai “ Yes nai.” ²⁰ For gar all hosos the promises epangelia of God theos find their ho “ Yes nai” in en him autos; and that is why dio · kai it is through dia him autos that we hēmeis say our ho “ Amen amēn” to ho God theos for pros his glory doxa. ²¹ Now de God theos is the ho one who strengthens bebaioō us hēmeis, together with syn you hymeis, in eis Christ Christos, and kai has anointed chriō us hēmeis, ²² and who ho has also kai sealed sphragizō us hēmeis and kai given didōmi us his ho Spirit pneuma in en our hēmeis hearts kardia as ho a pledge arrabōn. · ho

¹³ “ You hymeis are eimi the ho salt halas of the ho earth gē, but de if ean · ho salt halas has lost its taste mōrainō, how en tis will it be made salty halizō again? It is ischuō no longer eti good ischuō for eis anything oudeis but ei mē to be thrown ballō out exō and trampled katapateō under foot by hypo · ho people anthrōpos. ¹⁴ You hymeis are eimi the ho light phōs of the ho world kosmos. A city polis built keimai on epanō a hill oros cannot ou dynamai be hidden kryptō. ¹⁵ Nor oude do people light kaiō a lamp lychnos and kai put tithēmi it autos under hypo the ho meal-tub modios, but alla on epi a ho stand lychnia, and kai it gives light lampō to all pas · ho in en the ho house oikia. ¹⁶ Let your hymeis light phōs shine lampō · ho like that houtōs before emprosthen · ho others anthrōpos, so hopōs that they may see your hymeis · ho good kalos works ergon and kai glorify doxazō · ho your hymeis Father patēr who ho is in en · ho heaven ouranos.”

¹⁷ “ Do not mē think nomizō that hoti I came erchomai to abolish katalyō the ho law nomos or ē the ho prophets prophētēs. I did not ou come erchomai to abolish katalyō, but alla to fulfill plēroō. ¹⁸ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, until heōs an · ho heaven ouranos and kai · ho earth gē pass away parerchomai, not ou a single heis iota iōta or ē one heis little stroke keraia will pass parerchomai from apo the ho law nomos until heōs an everything pas takes ginomai place . ¹⁹ Therefore oun whoever hos ean relaxes lyō one heis of the ho least elachistos of these houtos commandments entolē · ho and kai teaches didaskō others anthrōpos to do the same houtōs · ho will be called kaleō least elachistos in en the ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos; but de whoever hos does poieō them and kai teaches didaskō others, this houtos person will be called kaleō great megas in en the ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos. ²⁰ For gar I tell legō you hymeis that hoti unless ean mē your hymeis righteousness dikaiosynē exceeds perisseuō · ho beyond polys that of the ho scribes grammateus and kai Pharisees Pharisaios, you will never ou mē enter eiserchomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos.
