2 Corinthians 1:3-11

3Blessed [be] the 1GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of compassions, and 2GodG2316 of all encouragementG3874;

4who encourages us in all our tribulationG2347, that we may be ableG1410 to encourageG3870 those who are in any tribulationG2347 whatever, through the encouragementG3874 with which we ourselves are encouragedG3870 of 3GodG2316.

5Because, evenG2532 as the sufferings of the ChristG5547 aboundG4052 towards us, so through the ChristG5547 does our encouragementG3874 alsoG2532 aboundG4052.

6But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragementG3874 and salvationG4991, wrought in the enduranceG5281 of the sameG846 sufferings which we alsoG2532 sufferG3958,

7(and our hopeG1680 for you [isG1510] sureG949;) or whether we areG1510 encouraged, [it isG1510] for your encouragementG3874 and salvation: knowing that as ye areG1510 partakersG2844 of the sufferings, so alsoG2532 of the encouragementG3874.

8For we do not wishG2309 you to be ignorantG50, brethren, as to our tribulationG2347 which happenedG1096 [to us] in AsiaG773, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] powerG1411, so as to despair evenG2532 of livingG2198.

9But we ourselves had the sentence of deathG2288 in ourselves, that we should not have our trustG3982 in ourselves, but in 4GodG2316 who raisesG1453 the deadG3498;

10who has deliveredG4506 us from so greatG5082 a deathG2288, and does deliverG4506; in whom we confide that he will alsoG2532 yet deliverG4506;

11ye alsoG2532 labouring together by supplicationG1162 for us that the giftG5486 towards us, through means of manyG4183 persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of manyG4183 for us.
