2 Corinthians 1:8-24

8For 1we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our 2affliction which occurred in 34Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. 95Indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead, 10who 6rescued us from so great a danger of death, and will rescue us, He 78on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us, 11if you also join in 9helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by 10many persons in our behalf for the favor granted to us through the prayers of many.

12For our 11proud confidence is this: the testimony of 12our conscience, that in holiness and 13godly sincerity, 14not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you. 13For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand 15until the end; 14just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, on 16the day of our Lord Jesus.

15In this confidence I intended at first to 17come to you, so that you might 18twice receive a 1920blessing; 1621that is, to 22pass 23your way into 24Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be 25helped on my journey to Judea. 17Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I decide, do I decide 26according to the flesh, so that with me there will be 27yes, yes and no, no at the same time? 18But as 28God is faithful, 29our word to you is not yes and no. 19For 30the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me and 31Silvanus and 32Timothy--was not yes and no, but has been yes 33in Him. 20For 34as many as the promises of God are, 35in Him they are yes; therefore through Him also is 36our Amen to the glory of God through us. 21Now He who 37establishes us with you in Christ and 38anointed us is God, 22who also 39sealed us and 40gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a 41pledge.

23But 42I call God as witness to my soul, that it was 43to spare you that I did not come again to 44Corinth. 24Not that we 45domineer over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are 46standing firm.
