2 Corinthians 1
- 1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia.
- 2Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 3Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.
- 4Who comforts us in all our trouble, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God.
- 5For as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so our comfort also overflows through Christ.
- 6And whether we are suffering, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or whether we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
- 7And our hope of you is firm, knowing, that as you are sharers in the sufferings, so you shall be also of the consolation.
- 8For we would not, brothers and sisters, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, so much that we despaired even of life.
- 9But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead.
- 10Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver. In him we trust that he will yet deliver us.
- 11You also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed on us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
- 12For 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 conduct in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
- 13For we write none other things to you than what you read or acknowledge, and I trust you shall acknowledge even to the end.
- 14As also you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as you also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
- 15And in this confidence I planned to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit.
- 16And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia to you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judea.
- 17When I made this plan, then, was I being careless? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yes yes, and no no?
- 18But as God is true, our word toward you was not yes and no.
- 19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but in him was yes.
- 20For all the promises of God in him are yes, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.
- 21Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God.
- 22Who has also sealed us, and given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
- 23Also I call God as witness over my soul, that to spare you I did not come as yet to Corinth.
- 24Not because we rule over your faith, but are helpers of your joy. For by faith you stand.
