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:
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:
Grace be
to
you
and peace from God our Father ,
and from
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace and peace to
you
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be God,
even
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies,
and the God of all comfort ;
Blessed be the God
and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion
and the God of all comfort ,
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.
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.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound
in
us, so our
consolation
also aboundeth
by
Christ.
For just
as the sufferings of Christ overflow
to
us, so also through
Christ our
comfort
overflows
.
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
.
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 our hope of
you is stedfast,
knowing
, that as ye
are
partakers
of
the
sufferings, so shall
ye
be
also of
the
consolation
.
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
.
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 :
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 .
But
we had
the sentence of death in
ourselves
, that we should
not trust in ourselves, but in God which
raiseth
the dead :
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 .
Who
delivered us from so
great
a death
, and doth
deliver :
in whom
we trust
that he will yet deliver us ;
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 ,
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.
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
.
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
.
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 we write none
other
things
unto
you ,
than
what
ye
read or
acknowledge;
and I trust
ye
shall
acknowledge
even
to
the
end;
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,
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.
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.
And
in
this confidence
I was
minded
to come
unto
you before
, that ye
might have
a second
benefit;
Confident
of
this ,
I planned
to visit
you first
, so
that you
might receive
a double
blessing.
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
.
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
.
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
?
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”
?
But as God is true
, our word
toward
you was
not yea
and nay
.
But as surely
as
God is faithful
, our message
to
you is
not “Yes”
and “No
. ”
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 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 all the promises of God in
him
are yea,
and
in him Amen
, unto
the glory of God by
us
.
For all the promises of God are “Yes”
in Christ.
And
so
through
Him, our
“Amen”
is
spoken
to
the glory of God.
Now he
which
stablisheth
us with
you in Christ ,
and
hath
anointed us, is
God;
Now it
is
God
who
establishes
both
us and
you in Christ .
He
anointed us,
Who
hath
also
sealed
us, and given
the
earnest
of
the
Spirit in our hearts.
placed
His
seal
on
us, and put
His
Spirit in our hearts as
a
pledge
of
what
is
to
come
.
Moreover
I call God for
a
record
upon
my soul,
that to spare you I came
not as
yet
unto
Corinth.
I call God as
my witness
that it
was
in
order
to spare you that
I did
not return
to
Corinth.
Not for
that we have
dominion
over your faith, but are helpers
of
your joy :
for
by faith ye
stand.
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
.
