1Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ byGod's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly ofGod which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in the whole of Achaia:
2Grace to you, and peace fromGod our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Blessed [be] theGod and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, andGod of all encouragement;
3Blessedbethe God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
4who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged ofGod.
4who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
5For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.
6But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,
6But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
7(and our hope for you [is] sure;) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.
7and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
8For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.
8For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but inGod who raises the dead;
9yea, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead:
10who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
10who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;
11ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.
11ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
12For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity beforeGod, (not in fleshly wisdom but inGod's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.
12For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,
13For we write no other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:
14even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as ye [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
14as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
15And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;
16and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.
16and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judæa.
17Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?
17When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?
18NowGod [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
18But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.
19For the Son ofGod, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.
19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.
20For whatever promises ofGod [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory toGod by us.
20For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us.
21Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is]God,
21Now he that establisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
22who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
22who also sealed us, and gave us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
