1 Paul,3972 an apostle652 of Jesus2424 Christ5547 by1223 the will2307 of God,2316 and2532 Timothy5095 our brother,80 unto the3588 church1577 of God2316 which is5607 at1722 Corinth,2882 with4862 all3956 the3588 saints40 which are5607 in1722 all3650 Achaia: 882

2 Grace5485 be to you5213 and2532 peace1515 from575 God2316 our2257 Father,3962 and2532 from the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547

3 Blessed2128 be God,2316 even2532 the Father3962 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 the3588 Father3962 of mercies,3628 and2532 the God2316 of all3956 comfort;3874

4 Who3588 comforteth3870 us2248 in1909 all3956 our2257 tribulation,2347 that we2248 may be able1410 to comfort3870 them3588 which are in1722 any3956 trouble,2347 by1223 the3588 comfort3874 wherewith3739 we848 ourselves are comforted3870 of5259 God.2316

5 For3754 as2531 the3588 sufferings3804 of Christ5547 abound4052 in1519 us,2248 so3779 our2257 consolation3874 also2532 aboundeth4052 by1223 Christ.5547

6 And1161 whether1535 we be afflicted,2346 it is for5228 your5216 consolation3874 and2532 salvation,4991 which is effectual1754 in1722 the enduring5281 of the3588 same846 sufferings3804 which3739 we2249 also2532 suffer:3958 or whether1535 we be comforted,3870 it is for5228 your5216 consolation3874 and2532 salvation.4991

7 And2532 our2257 hope1680 of5228 you5216 is steadfast,949 knowing,1492 that3754 as5618 ye are2075 partakers2844 of the3588 sufferings,3804 so3779 shall ye be also2532 of the3588 consolation.3874

8 For1063 we would2309 not,3756 brethren,80 have you ignorant50 5209 of5228 our2257 trouble2347 which came1096 to us2254 in1722 Asia,773 that3754 we were pressed916 out of measure,2596 5236 above5228 strength,1411 insomuch that5620 we2248 despaired1820 even2532 of life: 2198

9 But235 we848 had2192 the3588 sentence610 of death2288 in1722 ourselves,1438 that2443 we should5600 not3361 trust3982 in1909 ourselves,1438 but235 in1909 God2316 which raiseth1453 the3588 dead: 3498

10 Who3739 delivered4506 us2248 from1537 so great5082 a death,2288 and2532 doth deliver:4506 in1519 whom3739 we trust1679 that3754 he will2532 yet2089 deliver4506 us;

11 Ye5216 also2532 helping together4943 by prayer1162 for5228 us,2257 that2443 for the gift5486 bestowed upon1519 us2248 by the means of1537 many4183 persons4383 thanks may be given2168 by1223 many4183 on our behalf.5228 2257

12 For1063 our2257 rejoicing2746 is2076 this,3778 the3588 testimony3142 of our2257 conscience,4893 that3754 in1722 simplicity572 and2532 godly2316 sincerity,1505 not3756 with1722 fleshly4559 wisdom,4678 but235 by1722 the grace5485 of God,2316 we have had our conversation390 in1722 the3588 world,2889 and1161 more abundantly4056 to4314 you-ward.5209

13 For1063 we write1125 none3756 other things243 unto you,5213 than235 2228 what3739 ye read314 or2228 2532 acknowledge;1921 and1161 I trust1679 ye shall3754 acknowledge1921 even2532 to2193 the end;5056

14 As2531 also2532 ye have acknowledged1921 us2248 in575 part,3313 that3754 we are2070 your5216 rejoicing,2745 even as2509 ye5210 also2532 are ours2257 in1722 the3588 day2250 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus.2424

15 And2532 in this5026 confidence4006 I was minded1014 to come2064 unto4314 you5209 before,4386 that2443 ye might have2192 a second1208 benefit;5485

16 And2532 to pass1330 by1223 you5216 into1519 Macedonia,3109 and2532 to come2064 again3825 out of575 Macedonia3109 unto4314 you,5209 and2532 of5259 you5216 to be brought on my way4311 toward1519 Judea.2449

17 When I therefore3767 was thus minded,1011 5124 did I3385 686 use5530 lightness?1644 or2228 the things that3739 I purpose,1011 do I purpose1011 according2596 to the flesh,4561 that2443 with3844 me1698 there should be5600 yea3483 yea,3483 and2532 nay3756 nay?3756

18 But1161 as God2316 is true,4103 3754 our2257 word3056 toward4314 you5209 was1096 not3756 yea and nay.3483 2532 3756

19 For1063 the3588 Son5207 of God,2316 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 who was preached2784 among1722 you5213 by1223 us,2257 even by1223 me1700 and2532 Silvanus4610 and2532 Timothy,5095 was1096 not3756 yea and nay,3483 2532 3756 but235 in1722 him846 was1096 yea.3483

20 For1063 all3745 the promises1860 of God2316 in1722 him846 are3588 yea,3483 and2532 in1722 him846 3588 Amen,281 unto4314 the glory1391 of God2316 by1223 us.2257

21 Now1161 he which establisheth950 us2248 with4862 you5213 in1519 Christ,5547 and2532 hath anointed5548 us,2248 is God;2316

22 Who hath also sealed4972 2532 us,2248 and2532 given1325 the3588 earnest728 of the3588 Spirit4151 in1722 our2257 hearts.2588

23 Moreover1161 I1473 call1941 God2316 for a record3144 upon1909 my1699 soul,5590 that3754 to spare5339 you5216 I came2064 not as yet3765 unto1519 Corinth.2882

24 Not3756 for that3754 we have dominion over2961 your5216 faith,4102 but235 are2070 helpers4904 of your5216 joy:5479 for1063 by faith4102 ye stand.2476

Chapter 1

1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Ti-mo'the-us our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all A-cha'ia:

2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

4 Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we also may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, by the very comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds in Christ.

6 Even though we are oppressed, it is for the sake of your consolation and for the sake of your salvation that we are oppressed; and if we are comforted, it is so that you might be comforted also; to be strength in you that you may be able to bear these sufferings, the same which we also suffer.

7 And our hope concerning you is steadfast, for we know that if you are partakers of the sufferings, you are also partakers of the consolation.

8 For we would wish you to know, my brethren, about the trouble we had in Asia Minor, for we were greatly oppressed beyond our strength; insomuch that we despaired of our lives:

9 And we decided to die, not trusting in ourselves but in God who raises the dead:

10 Who delivered us from horrible deaths, and who will, we hope, again deliver us;

11 You also helping by your supplications for us, that for his gift bestowed upon us, by means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

12 For our joy is this, the testimony of our conscience, in sincerity and in purity with the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in this world, and not through the wisdom of the flesh; and above all, we have so dealt with you.

13 For we write nothing to you except those things which you know and understand, and I trust you will understand them to the end;

14 Just as you have understood in part that we are your pride and joy, even as you also are ours in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ.

15 And in this confidence I wished to come to you before, that you might receive grace doubly;

16 And to pass by you on my way to Mac-edo'ni- a, and again to come back to you from Mac-e-do'ni-a, so that you may wish me Godspeed on my way to Judµa.

17 When I, therefore, was considering this, did I consider it lightly or are the things which I am considering wholly worldly? Because they should have been either yes, yes, or no, no.

18 But as God is true, our word to you was not yes and no.

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Ti-mo'the-us, was not yes and no, but with him always yes.

20 For all the promises of God were in Christ, yes; therefore by his hand, we are given Amen to the glory of God.

21 Now it is God who has confirmed us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us;

22 And who has sealed us, and pledged his spirit in our hearts.

23 Moreover I testify to God concerning myself, that it was because I wanted to spare you, that I did not come to Corinth.

24 Not that we are the masters of your faith, but we are helpers of your joy; for by faith you stand.

1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Ti-mo'the-us our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all A-cha'ia:

2 Grace5485 be to you5213 and2532 peace1515 from575 God2316 our2257 Father,3962 and2532 from the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547

2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed2128 be God,2316 even2532 the Father3962 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 the3588 Father3962 of mercies,3628 and2532 the God2316 of all3956 comfort;3874

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

4 Who3588 comforteth3870 us2248 in1909 all3956 our2257 tribulation,2347 that we2248 may be able1410 to comfort3870 them3588 which are in1722 any3956 trouble,2347 by1223 the3588 comfort3874 wherewith3739 we848 ourselves are comforted3870 of5259 God.2316

4 Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we also may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, by the very comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 For3754 as2531 the3588 sufferings3804 of Christ5547 abound4052 in1519 us,2248 so3779 our2257 consolation3874 also2532 aboundeth4052 by1223 Christ.5547

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds in Christ.

6 And1161 whether1535 we be afflicted,2346 it is for5228 your5216 consolation3874 and2532 salvation,4991 which is effectual1754 in1722 the enduring5281 of the3588 same846 sufferings3804 which3739 we2249 also2532 suffer:3958 or whether1535 we be comforted,3870 it is for5228 your5216 consolation3874 and2532 salvation.4991

6 Even though we are oppressed, it is for the sake of your consolation and for the sake of your salvation that we are oppressed; and if we are comforted, it is so that you might be comforted also; to be strength in you that you may be able to bear these sufferings, the same which we also suffer.

7 And2532 our2257 hope1680 of5228 you5216 is steadfast,949 knowing,1492 that3754 as5618 ye are2075 partakers2844 of the3588 sufferings,3804 so3779 shall ye be also2532 of the3588 consolation.3874

7 And our hope concerning you is steadfast, for we know that if you are partakers of the sufferings, you are also partakers of the consolation.

8 For1063 we would2309 not,3756 brethren,80 have you ignorant50 5209 of5228 our2257 trouble2347 which came1096 to us2254 in1722 Asia,773 that3754 we were pressed916 out of measure,2596 5236 above5228 strength,1411 insomuch that5620 we2248 despaired1820 even2532 of life: 2198

8 For we would wish you to know, my brethren, about the trouble we had in Asia Minor, for we were greatly oppressed beyond our strength; insomuch that we despaired of our lives:

9 But235 we848 had2192 the3588 sentence610 of death2288 in1722 ourselves,1438 that2443 we should5600 not3361 trust3982 in1909 ourselves,1438 but235 in1909 God2316 which raiseth1453 the3588 dead: 3498

9 And we decided to die, not trusting in ourselves but in God who raises the dead:

10 Who3739 delivered4506 us2248 from1537 so great5082 a death,2288 and2532 doth deliver:4506 in1519 whom3739 we trust1679 that3754 he will2532 yet2089 deliver4506 us;

10 Who delivered us from horrible deaths, and who will, we hope, again deliver us;

11 Ye5216 also2532 helping together4943 by prayer1162 for5228 us,2257 that2443 for the gift5486 bestowed upon1519 us2248 by the means of1537 many4183 persons4383 thanks may be given2168 by1223 many4183 on our behalf.5228 2257

11 You also helping by your supplications for us, that for his gift bestowed upon us, by means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

12 For1063 our2257 rejoicing2746 is2076 this,3778 the3588 testimony3142 of our2257 conscience,4893 that3754 in1722 simplicity572 and2532 godly2316 sincerity,1505 not3756 with1722 fleshly4559 wisdom,4678 but235 by1722 the grace5485 of God,2316 we have had our conversation390 in1722 the3588 world,2889 and1161 more abundantly4056 to4314 you-ward.5209

12 For our joy is this, the testimony of our conscience, in sincerity and in purity with the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in this world, and not through the wisdom of the flesh; and above all, we have so dealt with you.

13 For1063 we write1125 none3756 other things243 unto you,5213 than235 2228 what3739 ye read314 or2228 2532 acknowledge;1921 and1161 I trust1679 ye shall3754 acknowledge1921 even2532 to2193 the end;5056

13 For we write nothing to you except those things which you know and understand, and I trust you will understand them to the end;

14 As2531 also2532 ye have acknowledged1921 us2248 in575 part,3313 that3754 we are2070 your5216 rejoicing,2745 even as2509 ye5210 also2532 are ours2257 in1722 the3588 day2250 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus.2424

14 Just as you have understood in part that we are your pride and joy, even as you also are ours in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ.

15 And2532 in this5026 confidence4006 I was minded1014 to come2064 unto4314 you5209 before,4386 that2443 ye might have2192 a second1208 benefit;5485

15 And in this confidence I wished to come to you before, that you might receive grace doubly;

16 And2532 to pass1330 by1223 you5216 into1519 Macedonia,3109 and2532 to come2064 again3825 out of575 Macedonia3109 unto4314 you,5209 and2532 of5259 you5216 to be brought on my way4311 toward1519 Judea.2449

16 And to pass by you on my way to Mac-edo'ni- a, and again to come back to you from Mac-e-do'ni-a, so that you may wish me Godspeed on my way to Judµa.

17 When I therefore3767 was thus minded,1011 5124 did I3385 686 use5530 lightness?1644 or2228 the things that3739 I purpose,1011 do I purpose1011 according2596 to the flesh,4561 that2443 with3844 me1698 there should be5600 yea3483 yea,3483 and2532 nay3756 nay?3756

17 When I, therefore, was considering this, did I consider it lightly or are the things which I am considering wholly worldly? Because they should have been either yes, yes, or no, no.

18 But1161 as God2316 is true,4103 3754 our2257 word3056 toward4314 you5209 was1096 not3756 yea and nay.3483 2532 3756

18 But as God is true, our word to you was not yes and no.

19 For1063 the3588 Son5207 of God,2316 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 who was preached2784 among1722 you5213 by1223 us,2257 even by1223 me1700 and2532 Silvanus4610 and2532 Timothy,5095 was1096 not3756 yea and nay,3483 2532 3756 but235 in1722 him846 was1096 yea.3483

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Ti-mo'the-us, was not yes and no, but with him always yes.

20 For1063 all3745 the promises1860 of God2316 in1722 him846 are3588 yea,3483 and2532 in1722 him846 3588 Amen,281 unto4314 the glory1391 of God2316 by1223 us.2257

20 For all the promises of God were in Christ, yes; therefore by his hand, we are given Amen to the glory of God.

21 Now1161 he which establisheth950 us2248 with4862 you5213 in1519 Christ,5547 and2532 hath anointed5548 us,2248 is God;2316

21 Now it is God who has confirmed us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us;

22 Who hath also sealed4972 2532 us,2248 and2532 given1325 the3588 earnest728 of the3588 Spirit4151 in1722 our2257 hearts.2588

22 And who has sealed us, and pledged his spirit in our hearts.

23 Moreover1161 I1473 call1941 God2316 for a record3144 upon1909 my1699 soul,5590 that3754 to spare5339 you5216 I came2064 not as yet3765 unto1519 Corinth.2882

23 Moreover I testify to God concerning myself, that it was because I wanted to spare you, that I did not come to Corinth.

24 Not3756 for that3754 we have dominion over2961 your5216 faith,4102 but235 are2070 helpers4904 of your5216 joy:5479 for1063 by faith4102 ye stand.2476

24 Not that we are the masters of your faith, but we are helpers of your joy; for by faith you stand.
