sentence1: But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,

sentence1: If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.

sentence2: Yey we alak re ri Cristo, riꞌ alak ralcꞌoꞌal ri Abraham yey cacꞌul cꞌu alak ri sipanic ubiꞌtisim lo ri Dios.


sentence1: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

sentence2: Xa jun ꞌanom alak chwach ri Dios, tob jujun che alak e cuqꞌuil raj judiꞌab o na e ta cuqꞌuil, tob ne jujun che alak e aj chaquib elokꞌotalic yey jujun chic quechacun pa que rique, tob achi o ixok; ma onoje ralak, xa jun ꞌanom alak ruma alak cꞌo pukꞌab ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo.

sentence2: Onoje cꞌu ralak ri xcꞌul alak ri bautismo chupa rubiꞌ ri Jesús, woꞌora alak chi re ri Cristo y cacꞌut cꞌu alak waꞌ rucꞌ ri binic silabic alak.


sentence1: For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

sentence2: Ma onoje ralak alak chi ralcꞌoꞌal ri Dios ruma ri cubulibal cꞌuꞌx alak rucꞌ ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo.


sentence1: But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

sentence2: Echiriꞌ cꞌamajaꞌ cacꞌun ri Jun cacubiꞌ kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ, e ri Tzij Pixab xojuchajij y xucꞌam lo kawach chaꞌ cacubiꞌ kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Cristo echiriꞌ copon rukꞌijol cakꞌalajisax ri Utzilaj Tzij chikawach.


sentence1: So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

sentence2: Ecꞌu queꞌelawi, ri Tzij Pixab tzꞌibital can ruma ri Moisés xojuchajij y xucꞌut chike ri cajawaxic cakamajo, pachaꞌ chi oj acꞌalab; xukꞌalajisaj cꞌu pan rucꞌunibal ri Cristo chaꞌ ruma ri cubulibal kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ Rire, ri Dios cuꞌan jusucꞌ chike.


sentence1: But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

sentence2: Ecꞌu woꞌora cubul chi kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Cristo, jecꞌulaꞌ na oj jinta chi chuxeꞌ ri Tzij Pixab ri xucꞌam lo kawach ojertan.


sentence1: But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

sentence2: Ma chupa ri Tzij Pixab tzꞌibital canok, cakꞌalajinic konoje ri oj ticawex oj cꞌo pukꞌab ri mac; e uwariꞌche lic cajawax ri biꞌtisinic uꞌanom lo ri Dios chique ri cacubiꞌ quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo.

sentence1: Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

sentence2: ¿Saꞌ cꞌu ruchac riꞌ ri Tzij Pixab tzꞌibital can ruma ri Moisés? E chaꞌ cukꞌalajisaj chique ri ticawex saꞌ tak ri quimac chwach ri Dios.

sentence1: For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

sentence2: Ma we ta cakacꞌul rubiꞌtisim ri Dios ruma cakatakej ri Tzij Pixab, riꞌ na e ta ruma ri biꞌtisinic xuꞌan ri Dios; noꞌj ri xusipaj ri Dios che ri Abraham e ruma ri biꞌtisinic uꞌanom chi che.


sentence1: Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

sentence2: Wa kintajin che ubꞌiꞌxik e waꞌ: Ri Dios xuꞌan jun tzij rukꞌ ri Abraham. Xikꞌow na kꞌu cuatrocientos treinta junabꞌ kꞌa echiriꞌ ri Moisés xutzꞌibꞌaj kan ri taqanik re ri Tzij Pixabꞌ. Ekꞌu wa taqanik na utz taj kuyoj wa nabꞌe tzij y na kuyoj tane ri xubꞌiꞌtisij lo ri Dios.


sentence1: Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.

sentence2: Ecꞌu ri Dios xuya rubiꞌtisinic che ri Abraham y che can ri Jun ralcꞌoꞌal. Rutzij Upixab ri Dios na jetawaꞌ cubiꞌij «chique can rawalcꞌoꞌal», pachaꞌ e uqꞌuiyal ticawex, ma jewaꞌ cubiꞌij «che can ri Jun awalcꞌoꞌal»; waꞌ queꞌelawi e ri Cristo.


sentence1: Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds to it.

sentence2: Hermanos, ri uꞌanom ri Dios canjunimaj rucꞌ ri caquiꞌan ri ticawex chaꞌ camaj alak usucꞌ: Echiriꞌ queb achijab caquiꞌan juna tzij chiquiwach y caquijiquibaꞌ uwach, lic na utz ta cꞌu riꞌ we jun chique cutzelej uchꞌaꞌtem che ri ubiꞌim chic o cucoj uwiꞌ ri quijiquibam chic.


sentence1: that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

sentence2: E xuꞌan waꞌ ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo chaꞌ ri rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios, ri xbiꞌtisix che ri Abraham, cayaꞌtaj na paquiwi ri na e ta aj Israel ruma ri Cristo; y jecꞌulaꞌ ruma ri cubulibal kacꞌuꞌx, konoje cakacꞌul ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios biꞌtisim chi ulok.


sentence1: Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”

sentence2: Ri Cristo xojresaj chuxeꞌ ri kꞌatbal tzij cꞌo pakawiꞌ ruma xkapalajij Rutzij Upixab ri Dios; xuꞌan cꞌu waꞌ echiriꞌ xuya rib pakacꞌaxel ri oj aj mac, ma jewaꞌ ri tzꞌibital can pa Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios: Chwach ri Dios, itzel uwach junok catzayabax chwa juna cheꞌ.

sentence1: The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nations will be blessed.”

sentence2: Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios xex chi ubiꞌim wi lo paquiwi ri na e ta aj Israel, we rique cacubiꞌ quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios, quebuꞌan jusucꞌ. Ma jewaꞌ ri utzilaj tzij xbiꞌx lo ojertan che ri Abraham: Awuma riꞌat, ri Dios quebuꞌan bendecir conoje tak ri tinamit che ruwachulew.


sentence1: Know therefore that those who are of faith are children of Abraham.

sentence2: E uwariꞌche, chirajawaxic quetaꞌmaj alak waꞌ: E janipa ri lic cubul quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios, riꞌ e ralcꞌoꞌal can ri Abraham.


sentence1: Even so, Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”

sentence2: Ri Abraham xcubiꞌ ucꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios y ruma cꞌu riꞌ xꞌaniꞌ jusucꞌ che.


sentence1: He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

sentence2: Ma echiriꞌ ri Dios cuya ri Ruxlabixel che alak y rucꞌ ruchukꞌab cuꞌan nimak tak milagros chixoꞌl alak, ¿suꞌanic cuꞌano? ¿E nawi ruma takem alak ri takanic que raj judiꞌab o e ruma xta alak ri Utzilaj Tzij y xcubiꞌ cꞌuꞌx alak che?

sentence2: ¿Na jinta cami utikom riꞌ che alak janipa tak ri cꞌulum alak ruma ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios? Na cancoj ta cꞌana riꞌin we waꞌ na jinta utikom che alak.

sentence1: I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

sentence2: Na cuaj ta cꞌut cancꞌak bi ukꞌij ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios; ma we ta cꞌo junok curiko cuꞌan jusucꞌ che rib chwach ri Dios ruma utakem ri tzij pixab, riꞌ na jinta cutikoj rucamic ri Cristo.

sentence1: I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.

sentence2: Jecꞌulaꞌ, ri nucꞌaslemal na weꞌin ta chic, ma e re ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo. E pachaꞌ xincam chwa ri cruz junam rucꞌ ri Cristo. Woꞌora che ri nucꞌaslem, ronoje ri canꞌano e ruma ri cubulibal nucꞌuꞌx rucꞌ Rucꞌajol ri Dios, ri lic cꞌax xinunaꞌo y xuya rib pa camic wuma riꞌin.

sentence2: Ma we cancꞌosoj tanchi lo uwach ri nucꞌakom chubi, riꞌ e queꞌelok in jun aj palajiy tzij.


sentence1: But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!

sentence2: Ecꞌu riꞌoj lic cakaj cojuꞌan jusucꞌ chwach ri Dios xew ruma ri cubulibal kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Cristo; yey we chiquiwach cꞌu jujun chic, oj aj mac ruma na cakatakej ta chi ri quitakanic rique, ¿e nawi queꞌelok cojuꞌana aj mac ruma ri cubulibal kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Cristo? ¡Na e ta riꞌ!


sentence1: yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

sentence2: Na rucꞌ ta cꞌu riꞌ, ketaꞌam na jinta junok cuꞌan jusucꞌ che rib ruma cutakej ri takanic que raj judiꞌab; ma ri lic chirajawaxic wi e ri cubulibal cꞌuꞌxaj rucꞌ ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo.

sentence1: But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

sentence1: For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

sentence1: And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

sentence2: Xew cꞌu lic xquitzꞌonoj chike na quekamescꞌutaj ta ri e nibaꞌib y waꞌ lic e cacha nucꞌuꞌx che uꞌanic.


sentence1: and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

sentence2: Ecꞌu ri Jacobo, ri Pedro y ri Juan, ri lic cꞌo quiwach pa riglesia, xquimaj usucꞌ e ri Dios yaꞌyom wa jun chac chwe.

sentence1: for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—

sentence1: but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—

sentence2: Y na xew ta waꞌ, ma xkimaj usukꞌ e ri Dios xyaꞌw panuqꞌabꞌ riꞌin rutzijoxik ri Utzilaj Tzij chike ri na e ta aj judiꞌabꞌ, jelaꞌ pachaꞌ xyaꞌiꞌ che ri Pedro rutzijoxik waꞌ chike ri e aj judiꞌabꞌ.


sentence1: But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

sentence2: E tak cꞌu raj wach re riglesia ri lic cꞌo quiwach, tob na jinta cꞌo cuꞌan chwe riꞌin we ri petinak lok cꞌo quiwach o na jintaj ma chwach ri Dios xa jun kawach; rique na jinta juna cꞌacꞌ tzij xquicoj puwi ri nucꞌutunic riꞌin.

sentence1: This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

sentence2: Xkamol cꞌu kib cucꞌ wa e aj wach, ma e cꞌo jujun na e ta sakil hermanos xquimin quib chikaxoꞌlibal riꞌoj chaꞌ e caquicꞌacꞌalej ri kabinic kasilabic ri oj re ri Cristo, ri Jun xojresaj lo chuxeꞌ ri takanic que raj judiꞌab. Xquiꞌan waꞌ xa re cacaj cojcꞌojiꞌ paquikꞌab rique.

sentence2: Cʼa xicʼaw ni cajlajuj junab, teʼuri xin ʼe chic pa Jerusalen, junam ruʼ i ma Bernabe; xak xin cʼam bi i ma Títo kuʼ.


sentence1: I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

sentence1: Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

sentence2: Yey na xinwil ta kiwach ri jujun chik e taqoꞌn; xew xinwil uwach ri Jacobo, ruchaqꞌ ri Qanimajawal.


sentence1: Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.

sentence2: Xicꞌow na cꞌu oxib junab echiriꞌ xintzelej Jerusalem re canwetaꞌmaj uwach ri Pedro y xincꞌojiꞌ chilaꞌ rucꞌ woꞌlajuj kꞌij.

sentence2: Na xinꞌec tane Jerusalem re quebeꞌnuwila ri ebuꞌanom takoꞌn nabe chinuwa riꞌin. Ri xinꞌano, e xinꞌec Arabia y cꞌa tecꞌuchiriꞌ xintzelej tanchi Damasco.


sentence1: to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,

sentence2: Na rucꞌ ta cꞌu riꞌ, ri Dios xinuchaꞌ lo riꞌin echiriꞌ cꞌamajaꞌ ne quinalaxic, xinusiqꞌuij ruma ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx

sentence1: For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

sentence2: ¿E neba cantzucuj riꞌin ri yacbal nukꞌij chiquiwach ri ticawex o e cuaj canꞌan janipa ri caraj ri Dios? ¿E neba cuaj riꞌin quinel chi utz chiquiwach ri ticawex? We ta riꞌin xa e cantzucuj ri cayac nukꞌij cuma ri ticawex, riꞌ na in ta sakil aj chac re ri Cristo.


sentence1: But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

sentence2: Cubisoj nucꞌuꞌx ma cꞌaxtaj we xinopon ucꞌ alak, na utz ta ꞌanom alak y jelaꞌ cꞌu riꞌ na cucꞌul ta nucꞌuꞌx ri quiꞌnrikaꞌ.

sentence1: Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

sentence2: Tape alak: Riꞌin nuyijbam chi wib chaꞌ quinopon ucꞌ alak churox laj. Y we xinoponic, na canya ta alcꞌayew che alak, ma na jinta cꞌo cantzꞌonoj che alak.

sentence1: He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

sentence2: Noꞌj Rire jewaꞌ xubiꞌij chwe: «Ri unimal rutzil nucꞌuꞌx cꞌo awucꞌ, e waꞌ ri lic cajawax chawe. Ma ri nuchukꞌab más cakꞌalajin cucꞌ ri na jinta quichukꞌab» xchaꞌ. E uwariꞌche riꞌin lic quinquiꞌcot che echiriꞌ na jinta nuchukꞌab, ma jelaꞌ e cacꞌojiꞌ ruchukꞌab ri Cristo wucꞌ.


sentence1: Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

sentence2: Ruma cꞌu riꞌ, oxlaj xinelaj che ri Kajawal chaꞌ caresaj waꞌ chwe.


sentence1: By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.

sentence1: For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.

sentence2: Ma we ta cuaj canyac nukꞌij ruma rukꞌalajisam ri Dios chwe, riꞌ na rakꞌubal ta ri cambiꞌij, ma lic e ube riꞌ. Pero na canꞌan taj, ma na cuaj taj cꞌo junok cucoj uwi ri ilitajinak y ri tatajinak chwe.

sentence1: For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,

sentence2: We tamaji e ri Dios yaꞌyom chike cojopon ucꞌ alak, riꞌ xa pa ke riꞌoj cakaꞌan ri chac ucꞌ alak. Pero na e ta riꞌ. Lic cꞌu takal chike cakapixabaj pan alak woꞌora, ma riꞌoj oj ri nabe xojopon ucꞌ alak rucꞌ ri Utzilaj Tzij re ri Cristo.


sentence1: But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

sentence2: Noꞌj riꞌoj na cakatacꞌabaꞌ tane kakꞌij ruma juna chac na kaꞌanom taj, ma e cakaꞌan ri uyaꞌom ri Dios pakakꞌab. Yey e Rire ri xuya chike xojopon cꞌa chilaꞌ ucꞌ alak rucꞌ ri Utzilaj Tzij.


sentence1: For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

sentence2: Riꞌoj na cakachꞌob tane cakajunimaj kib cucꞌ ri jujun xa caquitacꞌabaꞌ quikꞌij chiquibil quib. Ma rique xa caquijunimaj quib cucꞌ ri cachbiꞌil. Ri quebanaw re waꞌ, na jusucꞌ ta ri quinaꞌoj.


sentence1: Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

sentence2: Ecꞌu ri quebiꞌn re waꞌ chirajawaxic caquetaꞌmaj na je ta laꞌ uꞌanom, ma e janipa ri cakatzꞌibaj pan che alak, junam ubiꞌxiquil cakaꞌano echiriꞌ oj cꞌo chiwach alak.


sentence1: For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”

sentence2: Ma cꞌo quebiꞌn re: «Ri Pablo chupa tak rucartas lic cꞌax ri cubiꞌij, pachaꞌ lic cꞌo uchukꞌab; noꞌj echiriꞌ cꞌo chikawach, cuxiꞌij rib y na il tane uwach ruchꞌaꞌtem» quechaꞌ.


sentence1: that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.

sentence2: Na cuaj taj cachꞌob alak rakan e canxibij pa alak rucꞌ ri cantzꞌibaj pan che alak.


sentence1: For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,

sentence2: Y na xew ta riꞌ, ma na kinkꞌix tane che tobꞌ kanjikibꞌaꞌ uwach ri taqanik kaqaꞌan pawiꞌ alaq, ma waꞌ e ri Qajawal yaꞌyom paqaqꞌabꞌ. Y waꞌ na re ta sachibꞌal wach alaq, ma re kꞌiyibꞌal alaq chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.

sentence2: Ralak xew catakej alak ri quilitaj uwach. We cꞌo cꞌu junok ujiquibam uwach chiribil rib lic cꞌo pukꞌab ri Cristo, e chuchꞌobo chi utz waꞌ: Na xew ta rire cꞌo pukꞌab ri Cristo, ma jenelaꞌ riꞌoj.

sentence2: Echiriꞌ cakilo lic cacoj alak utzij ri Cristo, cꞌa tecꞌuchiriꞌ cakakꞌat tzij paquiwi ri e aj palajiy tzij.


sentence1: throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

sentence2: waꞌ e ri itzel tak naꞌoj y tacꞌabal kꞌij, ri quebukꞌatej ri ticawex chaꞌ na caquetaꞌmaj ta uwach ri Dios. Cakaya cꞌu ronoje tak noꞌjibal pukꞌab ri Cristo chaꞌ cuꞌan pachaꞌ runaꞌoj Rire.


sentence1: for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,

sentence2: Ma echiriꞌ cojchꞌoꞌjin chirij ri na utz taj, na cakaꞌan ta rucꞌ kachukꞌab o kanaꞌoj riꞌoj, ma e cakaꞌan rucꞌ ruchukꞌab y rutoꞌbal ri Dios chaꞌ jelaꞌ cakasach uwach ronoje ri cayactaj chirij ri Dios;


sentence1: For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;

sentence2: Katzij, riꞌoj xa oj ticawex, pero na cakaꞌan ta keꞌoj pachaꞌ ri caquiꞌan ri winak re ruwachulew.


sentence1: Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

sentence2: Riꞌin in Pablo cuaj cancoj wib chiwach alak chupa rubiꞌ ri Cristo, ri na cuꞌan ta nim che rib y lic utz ucꞌuꞌx.

sentence1: Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

sentence2: ¡Xa maltiox cꞌu che ri Dios ruma ri nimalaj sipanic uyaꞌom chike, ma waꞌ lic na jinta cꞌo wi!


sentence1: while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

sentence2: Jecꞌulaꞌ rique cꞌutubal re ri rutzil quicꞌuꞌx che alak, caquiꞌan orar pawiꞌ alak ruma ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios quilom che alak.


sentence1: seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all,

sentence2: y jelaꞌ ri kekꞌuluw re wa qasaꞌn lik kakiyak uqꞌij ri Dios. Ma waꞌ e kꞌutubꞌal re paqatzij wi xkoj alaq ri Utzilaj Tzij re ri Cristo y kabꞌin alaq chupa waꞌ, yey e kꞌutubꞌal re ri relej kꞌuꞌx alaq chike rike y chike konoje rutinamit ri Dios.


sentence1: For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God,

sentence2: Ecꞌu waꞌ wa toꞌbal na xew ta cutzꞌakatisaj ri cajawax chique, ma e cucoj pa canimaꞌ rique ri lic quetioxin chwach ri Dios


sentence1: Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

sentence2: Ri Dios e cayaꞌw re rijaꞌ che rawanel yey e cayaꞌw re ri wa che ri cawaꞌic. Ecꞌu riꞌ Rire cuya na janipa ri cajawax che alak y cuya ne uwiꞌ, chaꞌ rucꞌ waꞌ caꞌan alak ri utz y jecꞌulaꞌ lic cꞌo cutikoj ri utzilaj chac caꞌan alak.


sentence1: As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.”

sentence2: E pachaꞌ ri tzꞌibital can chupa Rutzij Upixab ri Dios: Xujach ri cꞌo rucꞌ re quebutoꞌ ri nibaꞌib; janipa cꞌu ri utz uꞌanom na casach ta uwach cachaꞌ.


sentence1: And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

sentence2: Yey lic cꞌo pukꞌab ri Dios cutoꞌ alak chaꞌ caqꞌuiyar janipa ri cꞌo ucꞌ alak y jelaꞌ cꞌo ronoje ri cajawax che alak y na xew ta riꞌ, ma cuya ne uwiꞌ chaꞌ jelaꞌ catoꞌb alak che uꞌanic chomilaj tak chac.


sentence1: Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

sentence2: E uwariꞌche, chijujunal alak chuyaꞌa rukasaꞌn e chirij janipa ri xalax lo pa ranimaꞌ, na rucꞌ ta bis y na ruma ta minom alak chupa. Ma ri Dios lic cucꞌul ucꞌuꞌx ri cuya rukasaꞌn rucꞌ quiꞌcotemal.


sentence1: Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

sentence2: Cancuxtaj cꞌu waꞌ che alak: China ri na qꞌui ta ri cutico, riꞌ na qꞌui ta ri cumolo. Yey china ri lic qꞌui ri cutico, riꞌ lic qꞌui ri cumolo.


sentence1: I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.

sentence2: Ruma cꞌu waꞌ, xinchꞌobo quebenutak bi ucꞌ alak wa hermanos chaꞌ quenabej bi chikawach riꞌoj y caquitoꞌ alak che umolic ri kasaꞌn biꞌtisim chi alak. Jecꞌulaꞌ we xojopon riꞌoj, yijbam chi alak waꞌ. Cakꞌalajin cꞌu riꞌ xkasan alak rucꞌ ronoje cꞌuꞌx alak y na e ta ruma xtak alak che.


sentence1: lest by any means, if anyone from Macedonia comes there with me and finds you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) would be disappointed in this confident boasting.

sentence2: Ma cꞌaxtaj quincachbilaj bi jujun aj Macedonia yey we xojopon cꞌu ucꞌ alak, queꞌkarikaꞌ cꞌamajaꞌ yijbam alak ri kasaꞌn. We e xuꞌana riꞌ, qꞌuixbal cꞌu chike riꞌoj y che ralak, ma lic xcubiꞌ kacꞌuꞌx ucꞌ alak yey na xꞌan ta cꞌu alak ri kabiꞌim lok.


sentence1: But I have sent the brothers so that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,

sentence2: E uwariꞌche ebenutakom bi wa hermanos ucꞌ alak chaꞌ caquitoꞌ alak che uqꞌuisic umolic ri kasaꞌn. Ma we yijbam chi alak ri kasaꞌn jelaꞌ pachaꞌ ri nubiꞌim lok, cakꞌalajin cꞌu riꞌ lic katzij ri xkabiꞌij echiriꞌ xkayac kꞌij alak.


sentence1: for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to those of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for the past year. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.

sentence2: ma wetaꞌam chi ri relej cꞌuꞌx alak re catoꞌb alak. E uwariꞌche nuyacom kꞌij alak chiquiwach ri e aj Macedonia. Riꞌin nubiꞌim, ri alak aj Acaya cꞌo chi kasaꞌn molom lo alak junabir. Yey ruma wa ꞌanom ralak, e qꞌui chique ri e aj Macedonia xquijek caquiꞌan que rucꞌ ronoje quicꞌuꞌx.


sentence1: Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.

sentence2: E uwariꞌche checꞌulu alak chi utz chaꞌ jelaꞌ cacꞌut alak ri rutzil cꞌuꞌx alak y jecꞌulaꞌ cakꞌalajin chiquiwach riglesias suꞌbe lic cojquiꞌcot che alak.


sentence1: As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.

sentence2: Ri Tito e wachbiꞌil riꞌin, junam oj toꞌbel e alak. Yey ri hermanos erachbilam bi, echaꞌom lo cuma ri tinamit re ri Cristo, ma rucꞌ ri quibinic quisilabic quiyacom ukꞌij ri Cristo.


sentence1: We have sent with them our brother whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.

sentence2: E uwariꞌche junam cucꞌ ri quebec, cakatak bi jun chic hermano. Waꞌ na xa ta julaj ucꞌutum lic cacha ucꞌuꞌx che uqꞌuiyal chac. Yey woꞌora más ne cacha ucꞌuꞌx che wa benam ma lic cubul ucꞌuꞌx ucꞌ alak.


sentence1: Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

sentence2: Ri cakaj riꞌoj e cakaꞌan ronoje chi utz chwach ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo y chiquiwach ri ticawex.


sentence1: We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.

sentence2: Ecojom kachbiꞌil chaꞌ na jinta cꞌo quechꞌaꞌt chikij che uchapabexic wuꞌqꞌuiyal kasaꞌn cꞌo pakakꞌab.


sentence1: Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.

sentence2: Na xew tane waꞌ, ma wa jun hermano chaꞌom cuma riglesias re cojrachbilaj pa tak ri cojꞌec wi che umolic y che ujachic waꞌ wa kasaꞌn. Waꞌ wa chac oj cꞌo wi e re yacbal ukꞌij ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo y e cꞌutubal re ri relej kacꞌuꞌx.


sentence1: We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.

sentence2: Junam cꞌut rucꞌ ri Tito cakatak bi jun chic hermano chaꞌ carachbilaj bi. Waꞌ e jun lic chom ruchꞌaꞌtibexic caꞌan pa tak riglesias ruma ri utzilaj chac uꞌanom che utzijoxic ri Utzilaj Tzij.


sentence1: But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

sentence2: Xa maltiox cꞌu che ri Dios ma ucojom pa ranimaꞌ ri Tito cutoꞌ alak jelaꞌ pachaꞌ canꞌan riꞌin.


sentence1: but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.

sentence2: Woꞌora pakꞌab alak cꞌo wi quetoꞌ alak ri e cꞌo pa cꞌax. Takal cꞌu che alak cajach alak upa ri cꞌo ucꞌ alak chaꞌ jelaꞌ catzꞌakatisaj alak ri cajawax chique rique.

sentence1: For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,

sentence2: Na cambiꞌij ta waꞌ chaꞌ cacanaj can alak pa nibaꞌil ruma ri quetoꞌ alak jujun chic. Ma e ri caraj e chikajujunal cꞌo kucꞌ janipa ri cajawax chike.


sentence1: For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.

sentence2: Ma e junok lic caraj cakasanic, ri Dios cucꞌul chi utz ri kasaꞌn cuyaꞌo e chirij ri cꞌo rucꞌ; ma ri Dios na cutzꞌonoj ta che jun ri na jinta rucꞌ.


sentence1: But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.

sentence2: Ecꞌu woꞌora qꞌuisa pan alak utzaꞌm waꞌ rucꞌ ronoje cꞌuꞌx alak, jelaꞌ pachaꞌ ri xjekebej lo alak uꞌanic. Yaꞌa cꞌu alak janipa ri cachꞌij alak uyaꞌic.


sentence1: For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

sentence2: Ma lic etaꞌam chi alak ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo. Rire lic beyom; na rucꞌ ta cꞌu riꞌ, ruma ri rutzil ucꞌuꞌx che alak, xuꞌan nibaꞌ che rib chaꞌ rucꞌ runibaꞌil e xuya rubeyomalil ri Dios che ralak.


sentence1: I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

sentence2: Rucꞌ waꞌ na quintajin ta che uyaꞌic jun takanic che alak. Ma xew xintzijoj che alak ri quisacꞌajil ri jujun chic che quitoꞌic ri cachbiꞌil, chaꞌ jelaꞌ cacꞌut alak pakatzij wi cꞌax quenaꞌ alak ri jujun chic hermanos.


sentence1: But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.

sentence2: E lic utz ri ꞌanom ralak che ronoje tak waꞌ: lic cꞌo cubulibal cꞌuꞌx alak rucꞌ ri Dios, lic carik alak utzijoxic Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios, yaꞌtal runaꞌoj ri Dios che alak, alak sacꞌaj che uꞌanic ruchac ri Dios yey lic ne cꞌax cojnaꞌ alak; jecꞌuriꞌlaꞌ, ꞌana alak chi utz wa jun chac re quitoꞌic ri nicꞌaj chic ka hermanos.


sentence1: So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.

sentence2: Ruma cꞌu laꞌ hermanos, xkabiꞌij che ri Tito chuqꞌuisa na utzaꞌm wa chac xujek ucꞌ ralak puwi rumolic ri kasaꞌn, ma waꞌ e cꞌutubal re ri relej cꞌuꞌx alak.


sentence1: This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

sentence2: Janipa cꞌu ri koyeꞌem riꞌoj chique na xew ta chi xquiꞌan riꞌ, ma nabe ne xquiya quib pukꞌab ri Dios, cꞌa tecꞌuchiriꞌ xquiya ri canimaꞌ chike riꞌoj chaꞌ jelaꞌ caquiꞌan janipa ri rajawal ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios.


sentence1: For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,

sentence2: Riꞌin cambiꞌij ri xinwilo: Ri xquiyaꞌo lic pa canimaꞌ xalax wi. Na xew ta xquiya e chirij ri cꞌo cucꞌ, ma xquiya ne uwiꞌ.


sentence1: how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.

sentence2: Tob rique na xa ta jubikꞌ ri cꞌax quicꞌowibem, ri quiꞌcotemal cꞌo cucꞌ na jinta utakexic. Y tob lic e nibaꞌib, xicꞌow ne uwiꞌ ri xquiya che quitoꞌic ri cachbiꞌil.


sentence1: Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,

sentence2: Hermanos, cakaj quetaꞌmaj alak ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios xquicꞌut rutinamit ri Cristo e cꞌo pa tak ri luwar re Macedonia.


sentence1: I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.

sentence2: Lic quinquiꞌcotic ma che ronoje lic cubul nucꞌuꞌx ucꞌ alak.


sentence1: His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

sentence2: Ecꞌu ri cꞌaxnaꞌbal ucꞌuꞌx ri Tito che alak más canimaric echiriꞌ cacꞌun chucꞌuꞌx rucꞌ xiꞌin ib pa animaꞌ alak xcꞌul alak y xya ib alak che uꞌanic janipa ri xubiꞌij che alak.


sentence1: For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

sentence2: Riꞌin nuyacom chi kꞌij alak chwach ri Tito y na quinqꞌuix ta che ri nubiꞌim. Ma ronoje ri cakabiꞌij che alak lic katzij; jecꞌulaꞌ riꞌ, janipa ri kabiꞌim chi che ri Tito pawiꞌ ralak, lic e xeꞌrila che alak.


sentence1: Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

sentence2: Ruma cꞌu xoc alak il che ri kacarta, lic xnimar kacꞌuꞌx. Yey uwiꞌ chi ri kaquiꞌcotemal riꞌoj, e ruquiꞌcotemal ri Tito, ma lic xnimarisaj lo alak ucꞌuꞌx.


sentence1: So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.

sentence2: E uwariꞌche, echiriꞌ xintzꞌibaj bi ri carta che alak, xinꞌano na xew ta ruma ri jun xꞌanaw re ri na usucꞌ taj y na xew tane ruma ri jun xꞌan ri na usucꞌ taj che, ma xinꞌano e chaꞌ cacꞌut alak chwach ri Dios: Pakatzij wi lic coc alak il chike.


sentence1: For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

sentence2: ¡Chilape cꞌu alak ronoje ri utz xucꞌam lo ri bis alak chwach ri Dios! Ma lic xoc alak il che waꞌ y xꞌaj cꞌu cakꞌalajisaj alak waꞌ chwe. Ecꞌu lic xpe oyowal alak che wa jun mac y lic xꞌaj cꞌu quil alak nuwach. Rucꞌ ronoje cꞌuꞌx alak y rucꞌ xiꞌin ib, xya ib alak che uꞌanic ri utz chwach ri Dios. Rucꞌ cꞌu tak ri xꞌan alak, woꞌora cakꞌalajinic utz ꞌanom ralak.


sentence1: For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

sentence2: Ri bis petinak rucꞌ ri Dios e cuꞌan chike coc chikacꞌuꞌx ri kamac, chaꞌ jelaꞌ cucꞌam lo tzelebal tzij y colobetajic chike y ¡waꞌ na cuya ta bis che junok! Noꞌj ri bis re ruwachulew xa cucꞌam lo camic.


sentence1: I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.

sentence2: Ecꞌu woꞌora lic quinquiꞌcotic, na ruma ta ri xbison alak che ri nucarta, ma e ruma ri bis alak xutoꞌ alak chaꞌ catzelej tzij alak, yey wa bis e xraj riꞌ ri Dios che alak. Jecꞌulaꞌ na jinta juna cꞌax xkaꞌan riꞌoj che alak.


sentence1: For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.

sentence2: tob ne xubisoj nucꞌuꞌx echiriꞌ xintak bi ri nabe nucarta che alak, ma waꞌ xucoj alak pa bis queb oxib kꞌij. Pero na jinta chi cubiꞌij nucꞌuꞌx che, ma wetaꞌam ri carta lic cꞌo xutikoj che alak.


sentence1: and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

sentence2: Na xew ta cꞌu ruma rucꞌunibal xojquiꞌcotic; e lic xojquiꞌcotic ma xkato rire lic xquiꞌcot ri ranimaꞌ uma ralak. Ma xubiꞌij chike e lic caꞌaj alak quil alak nuwach, lic cabison alak ruma inyaꞌom alak pa bis y lic caꞌaj ne alak cacꞌut alak ri rutzil cꞌuꞌx alak chwe. Ruma tak cꞌu waꞌ, riꞌin más xinquiꞌcotic,


sentence1: Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

sentence2: Pero ri Dios, ri bochiꞌinel que ri paxinak quicꞌuꞌx, e xbochiꞌin kacꞌuꞌx ruma rucꞌunic ri hermano Tito kucꞌ.


sentence1: For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.

sentence2: Chwi xojcꞌun Macedonia, pakatzij wi na oj uxlaninak taj. Ma tob xa pa tak xpe wi ri cꞌax pakawiꞌ, xpe tak chꞌaꞌoj chikij y lic xoc xiꞌin ib pa kanimaꞌ.


sentence1: Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

sentence2: Lic cankꞌalajisaj ri cꞌo pa wanimaꞌ chiwach alak, ma lic cubul nucꞌuꞌx ucꞌ alak. Lic quinquiꞌcot che alak. E ne ralak ri xnimarisan nucꞌuꞌx y woꞌora nojinak ri wanimaꞌ che quiꞌcotemal tob oj cꞌo pa tak cꞌaxcꞌobic.


sentence1: I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.

sentence2: Ecꞌuchiriꞌ cambiꞌij waꞌ, na e ta re canya qꞌuix alak; ma pachaꞌ ri nubiꞌim lo che alak, lic cꞌo alak pa kanimaꞌ. Tob cꞌu oj cꞌas riꞌ o tob ne oj caminak chic, xa jun kacꞌuꞌx ucꞌ alak.


sentence1: Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.

sentence2: Chojcꞌola co chicꞌuꞌx alak; ma riꞌoj na jinta junok kaꞌanom ri na usucꞌ taj che, na jinta junok tzakinak pa mac kuma riꞌoj yey na jinta junok kasocosoꞌm.


sentence1: Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

sentence2: E uwariꞌche, hermanos, ruma tak wa biꞌtisinic uꞌanom lo ri Dios chike, kajoskꞌij kib che tak ri mac retzelam ri kacuerpo y ri kanimaꞌ. Rucꞌ jun xiꞌin ib chwach ri Dios kachukꞌubej kib che uchomaxic ri kabinic kasilabic chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.

sentence2: E uwariꞌche ri Dios jewaꞌ cubiꞌij pa Ruchꞌaꞌtem: Chixel chiquixoꞌlibal ri e aj mac y chiwesaj iwib cucꞌ. Michꞌulaj iwib rucꞌ ri na chom taj chwach ri Dios, y jelaꞌ Riꞌin quixincꞌul chi utz.


sentence1: What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

sentence2: Ri rocho ri Dios na cucꞌulaj ta rib rucꞌ tak ri tiox. Jecꞌuriꞌlaꞌ ralak na jinta chi e alak cucꞌ ri tiox, ma ralak alak rocho ri Dios cꞌaslic. E pachaꞌ rubiꞌim Rire: Quinjekiꞌ cucꞌ y chiquixoꞌlibal rique quimbin wi. In cꞌu Riꞌin qui Dios y rique e nutinamit xchaꞌ.


sentence1: What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?

sentence2: ¿Yey ri Cristo rucꞌ ri Belial cꞌo nawi utzil chiquiwach? ¿O saꞌ ri utz curik junok ucojom rubiꞌ ri Cristo che junok na ucojom taj?


sentence1: Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

sentence2: Hermanos, macꞌulaj ib alak cucꞌ ri na quicojom ta rubiꞌ ri Cristo, ma ri jusucꞌ na cucꞌulaj ta rib rucꞌ ri na jusucꞌ taj y ri kꞌijsak na cucꞌulaj ta rib rucꞌ ri kꞌekuꞌm.

sentence2: Ecꞌu woꞌora quinchꞌaꞌt ucꞌ alak pachaꞌ alak walcꞌoꞌal: Jelaꞌ pachaꞌ riꞌoj lic kacꞌutum ri rutzil kacꞌuꞌx che ralak, jecꞌulaꞌ ꞌana alak chike riꞌoj.

sentence2: Etaꞌam alak riꞌoj lic kacꞌutum ri rutzil kacꞌuꞌx che alak, noꞌj ralak na je ta laꞌ caꞌan alak chike riꞌoj.

sentence2: Y ruma laꞌ coj-jilow woꞌora, ma lic cakaj chic cojkꞌax chupa ri kocho chilaꞌ chicaj.


sentence1: while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

sentence2: Jelaꞌ cꞌu riꞌ ri camic cꞌo pakawiꞌ riꞌoj; yey ruma waꞌ, ralak rikom alak ri chomilaj cꞌaslemal re ri Dios.


sentence1: For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

sentence2: Tob cojternabex rucꞌ cꞌax, ri Dios na oj rokꞌotam taj. Tob ne cojmachꞌax pulew, na caquisach ta kawach.


sentence1: We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;

sentence2: Tob cape cꞌu uqꞌuiyal uwach cꞌaxcꞌobic pakawiꞌ, cojel na chupa. Tob cꞌo ubis kacꞌuꞌx, na capax ta kacꞌuꞌx che.


sentence1: But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.

sentence1: seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

sentence2: Ma ri Dios ri xtakan che xwon ri kꞌijsak chupa ri kꞌekuꞌm, e Rire ri xwon chupa ri kanimaꞌ chaꞌ rucꞌ laꞌ caketaꞌmaj runimal uchomalil Rire, ri cakꞌalajin ruma ri Cristo.

sentence2: Na e ta cꞌu cakatzijoj kib riꞌoj; ri cakatzijoj e ri Jesucristo e Takanel paquiwi conoje yey riꞌoj xa oj nimanel e alak, ma e caraj riꞌ ri Jesús chike.


sentence1: in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

sentence1: But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

sentence2: Riꞌoj na jinta cꞌo cakaꞌan xa xeꞌlakꞌay y qꞌuixbal uwach, na quekasoc tane ri ticawex yey na cakacoj tane uwiꞌ ri cubiꞌij Rutzij ri Dios. Ma e cakacꞌut pa sakil wi ri Kꞌijsak chaꞌ jelaꞌ conoje ri quetaw re, caquetaꞌmaj lic jusucꞌ ri cakaꞌano.


sentence1: But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

sentence2: Konoje riꞌoj na chꞌukutal ta chi ri kawach. E uwariꞌche, cakil chi utz ruchomalil ri Kanimajawal y cojwolkꞌin che ukꞌalajisaxic waꞌ rucꞌ ri kabinic kasilabic. Ma jalan catajin kajalcꞌatixic chaꞌ jelaꞌ cojuꞌana pachaꞌ ri Kanimajawal. Yey ri Ruxlabixel Rire e ri caꞌanaw re waꞌ kucꞌ.

sentence1: But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

sentence2: Noꞌj echiriꞌ junok cutzelej utzij chwach ri Kanimajawal, quesax na cꞌu riꞌ ri chꞌukuyum ruwach.


sentence1: But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

sentence1: But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

sentence2: Ecꞌu rique na xcaj ta caquimaj usucꞌ Rutzij ri Dios y cꞌa e ne wakꞌij ora echiriꞌ cacajilaj wa Tzij Pixab xuya ri Dios ojertan, na caquimaj ta usucꞌ; e pachaꞌ chꞌukutal ri quiwach. Yey waꞌ wa chꞌukuyum ri quiwach, xew ri Cristo quesan re chique.


sentence1: and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.

sentence2: Na e ta pachaꞌ rojertan echiriꞌ ri Dios xuya ri takanic che ri Moisés, ma rire xuchꞌuk rupalaj ruma lic xwonic, chaꞌ ri e aj Israel na caquitzutzaꞌ ta ruwonibal, ri xa quicꞌowic.

sentence2: Ruma lic cubul kacꞌuꞌx che wa na casach taj, riꞌoj lic cakakꞌalajisaj chi utz ri cꞌacꞌ tzij y na jinta cakewaj che.


sentence1: For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

sentence2: Rupalaj ri Moisés xwon xa pa jokꞌotaj ruma ruchomalil ri Tzij xuya ri Dios che; pero ¡más cꞌo uchomalil riꞌ ri cꞌacꞌ tzij, ma waꞌ na casach taj!


sentence1: For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.

sentence2: Ri takanic xuya ri Dios ojertan cꞌo uchomalil, pero ruchomalil waꞌ na cajunimax ta cꞌana rucꞌ ri cꞌacꞌ tzij.


sentence1: For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

sentence2: We cꞌo cꞌu uchomalil ri takanic xuya lo ri Dios ojertan, ¡janipa cꞌu lo riꞌ ruchomalil ruchac ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios cuꞌan kucꞌ!


sentence1: But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,

sentence2: Ri takanic tzꞌibital can chwa abaj cucꞌam lo camic, pero lic cꞌo uchomalil. Ma lic xwon rupalaj ri Moisés echiriꞌ xucꞌul wa takanic, cꞌutubal re ruchomalil Rutzij ri Dios. Yey ri e aj Israel na utz ta xquitzuꞌ uwach ri Moisés ruma waꞌ wa wonibal, yey waꞌ xa xicꞌowic.

sentence1: Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

sentence2: ¡Xa maltiox cꞌu che ri Dios! Ma cojel pan chi utz chwa ronoje ruma ri Cristo, yey yaꞌtal chike cakakꞌalajisaj rucꞌuꞌx Rire. Ma kuma riꞌoj queꞌec utzijoxic ri Cristo che ronoje luwar, e pachaꞌ cunabal quiꞌ ruxlab camuyuyic.

sentence2: Echiriꞌ xinopon chupa ri tinamit Troas che utzijoxic ri Utzilaj Tzij re ri Cristo, lic chom ri jekebal re ri nuchac xuya ri Kanimajawal chwe;

sentence2: Canꞌan cꞌu waꞌ chaꞌ ri Satanás na cumaj ta uchukꞌab pakawiꞌ, ma lic ketaꞌam chi runoꞌjibal chikij.


sentence1: Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

sentence1: Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.

sentence1: so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

sentence2: Ecꞌu ri takal che caꞌan alak woꞌora e cuyu alak umac y bochiꞌij alak ucꞌuꞌx chaꞌ jelaꞌ na casach ta ruma runimal ubis.
