2 Corinthians 1

Introduction

1PaulG3972, 1an apostleG652 of 2ChristG5547 JesusG2424 3by the willG2307 of GodG2316, and our brotherG80 4TimothyG5095,

To 5the churchG1577 of GodG2316 which is at 6CorinthG2882 with allG3956 the 7saintsG40 who are throughoutG3650 8AchaiaG882:

29GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515 from GodG2316 our FatherG3962 and the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

310BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of merciesG3628 and 11GodG2316 of allG3956 comfortG3874, 4who 12comfortsG3870 us in allG3956 our afflictionG2347 soG1519 thatG1519 we will be ableG1410 to comfortG3870 thoseG3588 who are in 13anyG3956 afflictionG2347 with the comfortG3874 with whichG3739 we ourselvesG846 are comfortedG3870 by GodG2316. 5For justG2531 14asG2531 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547 are 15oursG1473 in abundanceG4052, soG3779 alsoG2532 our comfortG3874 isG4052 abundantG4052 throughG1223 ChristG5547. 6But ifG1535 we are afflictedG2346, it is 16for your comfortG3874 and salvationG4991; orG1535 ifG1535 we are comfortedG3870, it is for your comfortG3874, which is effectiveG1754 in the patientG5281 enduringG5281 of the sameG846 sufferingsG3804 whichG3739 we alsoG2532 sufferG3958; 7and our hopeG1680 for you is firmlyG949 groundedG949, knowingG3609 that 17as you are partnersG2844 in our sufferingsG3804, soG3779 alsoG2532 you are in our comfortG3874.

8For 18we do not wantG2309 you to be unawareG50, brothersG80 and sisters, of our 19afflictionG2347 which occurredG1096 in 2021AsiaG773, that we were burdenedG916 excessivelyG2596G5236, beyondG5228 our strengthG1411, soG5620 thatG5620 we despairedG1820 evenG2532 of lifeG2198. 922IndeedG235, we hadG2192 the sentenceG610 of deathG2288 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438 soG2443 thatG2443 we would not trustG3982 in ourselvesG1438, but in GodG2316 who raisesG1453 the deadG3498, 10whoG3739 23rescuedG4506 us from soG5082 greatG5082 a danger of deathG2288, and will rescueG4506 us, He 2425on whomG3739 we have setG1679 our hopeG1679. And He will yetG2089 deliverG4506 us, 11if you alsoG2532 joinG4943 inG4943 26helpingG4943 us through your prayersG1162, soG2443 thatG2443 thanksG2168 may be givenG2168 by 27manyG4183 personsG4383 inG5228 our behalfG5228 for the favorG5486 granted to us throughG1223 the prayers of manyG4183.

Paul’s Integrity

12For our 28proudG2746 confidenceG2746 is thisG3778: the testimonyG3142 of 29our conscienceG4893, that in holinessG41 and 30godlyG2316 sincerityG1505, 31not in fleshlyG4559 wisdomG4678 but in the graceG5485 of GodG2316, we have conductedG390 ourselves in the worldG2889, and especiallyG4056 towardG4314 you. 13For we writeG1125 nothingG3756 elseG243 to you thanG2228 whatG3739 you readG314 and understandG1921, and I hopeG1679 you will understandG1921 32untilG2193 the endG5056; 14justG2531 asG2531 you alsoG2532 partiallyG3313 did understandG1921 us, that we are your reasonG2745 toG2745 beG2745 proudG2745 as you alsoG2532 are oursG1473, on 33the dayG2250 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424.

15In thisG3778 confidenceG4006 I intendedG1014 at firstG4387 to 34comeG2064 to you, soG2443 thatG2443 you might 35twiceG1208 receiveG2192 a 3637blessingG5485; 1638that is, to 39passG1330 40your wayG1223 into 41MacedoniaG3109, and againG3825 from MacedoniaG3109 to comeG2064 to you, and by you to be 42helpedG4311 onG4311 my journeyG4311 to JudeaG2449. 17ThereforeG3767, I was not vacillatingG5530G1644 when I intendedG1014 to do thisG3778, was I? OrG2228 whatG3739 I decideG1011, do I decideG1011 43accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, soG2443 thatG2443 with me there will be 44yesG3483, yesG3483 and noG3756, noG3756 at the same time? 18But as 45GodG2316 is faithfulG4103, 46our wordG3056 to you is not yesG3483 and noG3756. 19For 47the SonG5207 of GodG2316, ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who was preachedG2784 amongG1722 you by us--by me and 48SilvanusG4610 and 49TimothyG5095--was not yesG3483 and noG3756, but has beenG1096 yesG3483 50in Him. 20For 51as manyG3745 as the promisesG1860 of GodG2316 are, 52in Him they are yesG3483; thereforeG1352 throughG1223 Him alsoG2532 is 53our AmenG281 to the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 throughG1223 us. 21NowG1161 He who 54establishesG950 us with you in ChristG5547 and 55anointedG5548 us is GodG2316, 22who alsoG2532 56sealedG4972 us and 57gaveG1325 us the SpiritG4151 in our heartsG2588 as a 58pledgeG728.

23But 59I callG1941 GodG2316 as witnessG3144 to my soulG5590, that it was 60to spareG5339 you that I did not comeG2064 againG3765 to 61CorinthG2882. 24Not that we 62domineerG2961 overG2961 your faithG4102, but we are workersG4904 with you for your joyG5479; for in your faithG4102 you are 63standingG2476 firmG2476.
