King James Version
Paul, an apostle of Christ
Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To
the church of God in
Corinth, together
with all the saints throughout
Achaia:
Paul, 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:
Grace and
peace
to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace be
to you and
peace
from God our Father ,
and from
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be the
God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion
and the God of all comfort ,
Blessed be God ,
even
the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies,
and the God of all comfort ;
who comforts
us in all our troubles
, so
that we can
comfort those
in any trouble with
the comfort we ourselves have
received
from
God.
Who 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.
For just
as the sufferings of Christ overflow
to
us, so also through
Christ our
comfort
overflows
.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound
in
us, so our
consolation
also aboundeth
by
Christ.
If
we are
afflicted, it is for your comfort
and salvation ;
if
we
are
comforted
, it
is
for
your
comfort,
which accomplishes
in you
patient
endurance
of the same sufferings we experience
.
And
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
.
And our hope for
you is sure
, because
we
know
that just
as you
share
in
our
sufferings, so also you
will
share
in
our
comfort
.
And our hope of
you is stedfast
, knowing,
that as ye
are
partakers
of
the
sufferings, so shall
ye
be
also of
the
consolation
.
We do
not want
you
to
be
unaware
, brothers
, of the
hardships
we
encountered
in the
province
of
Asia .
We were under
a
burden
far
beyond
our
ability
to
endure
, so
that we despaired even of life .
For
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 :
Indeed,
we
felt
we were
under
the sentence of death ,
in order
that we would
not trust in ourselves, but in God ,
who
raises
the dead .
But
we had
the sentence of death in ourselves,
that we should
not trust in ourselves, but in God which
raiseth
the dead :
He
has
delivered us from such
a deadly
peril
, and He
will
deliver us.
In Him
we have
placed
our
hope
that He will yet again
deliver us ,
Who
delivered us from so
great
a death
, and doth
deliver :
in whom
we trust
that he will yet deliver us ;
as
you
help
us by your
prayers.
Then
many will
give
thanks on our behalf for
the
favor
shown
us
in
answer
to
their
prayers
.
Ye
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.
And
this
is
our boast:
Our conscience testifies
that
we
have
conducted
ourselves
in
the
world
, and
especially
in
relation
to
you,
in the
holiness
and sincerity that
are
from
God—
not in
worldly
wisdom, but in
the grace of God.
For
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
.
For we do
not
write you anything
that
is
beyond
your
ability
to
read and
understand.
And I hope
that
you
will
understand
us
completely,
For we write none
other
things
unto
you ,
than
what
ye
read or
acknowledge;
and I trust
ye
shall
acknowledge
even
to
the
end;
as you
have already
understood
us in part, so
that you
may
boast
of
us
just
as
we will
boast
of
you
in the day of our
Lord Jesus.
As 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.
Confident
of
this ,
I planned
to visit
you first
, so
that you
might receive
a double
blessing.
And
in
this confidence
I was
minded
to come
unto
you before
, that ye
might have
a second
benefit;
I
wanted
to visit
you on
my
way
to
Macedonia, and to return
to
you
from
Macedonia, and then
to
have
you help
me
on my way to
Judea
.
And
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
.
When I planned
this
, did I do
it
carelessly
? Or do
I make
my
plans
by
human
standards
, so
as
to say
“Yes
, yes”
when
I
really
mean
“No
, no”
?
When 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
?
But as surely
as
God is faithful
, our message
to
you is
not “Yes”
and “No
. ”
But as God is true
, our word
toward
you was
not yea
and nay
.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed
among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy
, was not “Yes”
and “No
, ”
but in Him it
has
always
been
“Yes
. ”
For 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
.
For all the promises of God are
“Yes”
in Christ.
And
so
through
Him, our
“
Amen ”
is
spoken
to
the glory of God.
For all the promises of God in him are
yea
, and
in
him
Amen ,
unto
the glory of God by
us
.
Now it
is
God
who
establishes
both
us and
you in Christ .
He
anointed us,
Now he
which
stablisheth
us with
you in Christ ,
and
hath
anointed us, is
God;
placed
His
seal
on
us, and put
His
Spirit in our hearts as
a
pledge
of
what
is
to
come
.
Who
hath
also
sealed
us, and given
the
earnest
of
the
Spirit in our hearts.
I call God as
my witness
that it
was
in
order
to spare you that
I did
not return
to
Corinth.
Moreover
I call God for
a
record
upon
my soul,
that to spare you I came
not as
yet
unto
Corinth.
Not that we lord
it
over your faith, but we
are fellow
workers
with
you
for
your joy ,
because
it
is
by faith that
you
stand firm
.
Not for
that we have
dominion
over your faith, but are helpers
of
your joy :
for
by faith ye
stand.
