1PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 TimothyG5095 our brotherG3588G80, unto the AssemblyG3588G1577 of GodG3588G2316 which isG1510 atG1722 CorinthG2882, withG4862 allG3956 the saintsG40 which areG1510 inG1722 allG3650 AchaiaG3588G882: 2GraceG5485 be to youG4771 andG2532 peaceG1515 fromG575 GodG2316 ourG1473 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

3BlessedG2128 be GodG3588G2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3588G3962 of merciesG3588G3628, andG2532 the GodG2316 of allG3956 comfortG3874; 4WhoG3588 comfortethG3870 usG1473 inG1909 allG3956 ourG1473 tribulationG3588G2347, that weG1473 may be ableG1410 toG1519 comfortG3870 themG3588 which areG3739 inG1722 anyG3956 troubleG2347, byG1223 the comfort wherewithG3588G3874 we ourselvesG846 are comfortedG3870 ofG5259 GodG3588G2316. 5ForG3754 asG2531 the sufferingsG3588G3804 of ChristG3588G5547 aboundG4052 inG1519 usG1473, soG3779 ourG1473 consolationG3588G3874 alsoG2532 aboundethG4052 byG1223 ChristG5547. 6AndG1161 whetherG1535 we be afflictedG2346, it is forG5228 yourG4771 consolationG3588G3874 andG2532 salvationG4991, whichG3588 is effectualG1754 inG1722 the enduringG5281 of the sameG3588G846 sufferingsG3804 whichG3739 weG1473 alsoG2532 sufferG3958: or whetherG1535 we be comfortedG3870, it is forG5228 yourG4771 consolationG3588G3874 andG2532 salvationG4991. 7AndG2532 ourG1473 hopeG3588G1680 ofG5228 youG4771 is stedfastG949, knowingG1492, thatG3754 asG5618 ye areG1510 partakersG2844 of the sufferingsG3588G3804, soG3779 shall ye be alsoG2532 of the consolationG3588G3874.

8ForG1063 we wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, haveG50 youG4771 ignorantG50 ofG5228 ourG1473 troubleG3588G2347 which cameG3588G1096 to usG1473 inG1722 AsiaG3588G773, thatG3754 we were pressedG916 outG2596 of measureG5236, aboveG5228 strengthG1411, insomuch thatG5620 weG1473 despairedG1820 evenG2532 of lifeG3588G2198: 9ButG235 weG846 hadG2192 the sentenceG3588G610 of deathG3588G2288 inG1722 ourselvesG1438, thatG2443 we shouldG1510 notG3361 trustG3982 inG1909 ourselvesG1438, butG235 inG1909 GodG3588G2316 whichG3588 raisethG1453 the deadG3588G3498: 10WhoG3739 deliveredG4506 usG1473 fromG1537 so greatG5082 a deathG2288, andG2532 doth deliverG4506: inG1519 whomG3739 we trustG1679 thatG3754 he willG4506 yetG2089 deliverG4506 us; 11YeG4771 alsoG2532 helping togetherG4943 by prayerG3588G1162 forG5228 usG1473, thatG2443 for the giftG5486 bestowed uponG1519 usG1473 by the means ofG1537 manyG4183 personsG4383 thanks may be givenG2168 byG1223 manyG4183 onG5228 our behalfG1473. 12

ForG1063 ourG1473 rejoicingG2746 isG1510 thisG3778, the testimonyG3588G3142 of ourG1473 conscienceG3588G4893, thatG3754 inG1722 simplicityG572 andG2532 godlyG2316 sincerityG1505, notG3756 withG1722 fleshlyG4559 wisdomG4678, butG235 byG1722 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, we have had our conversationG390 inG1722 the worldG3588G2889, andG1161 more abundantlyG4057 toG4314 you-wardG4771. 13ForG1063 we writeG1125 noneG3756 other thingsG243 unto youG4771, thanG235 whatG3739 ye readG314 orG2228 acknowledgeG1921; andG1161 I trustG1679 ye shall acknowledgeG1921 evenG2532 toG2193 the endG5056; 14AsG2531 alsoG2532 ye have acknowledgedG1921 usG1473 inG575 partG3313, thatG3754 we areG1510 yourG4771 rejoicingG2745, even asG2509 yeG4771 alsoG2532 are oursG1473 inG1722 the dayG3588G2250 of the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424.

15AndG2532 in thisG3778 confidenceG3588G4006 I was mindedG1014 to comeG2064 untoG4314 youG4771 beforeG4386, thatG2443 ye might haveG2192 a secondG1208 benefitG5485; 16AndG2532 to passG1330 byG1223 youG4771 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109, andG2532 to comeG2064 againG3825 out ofG575 MacedoniaG3109 untoG4314 youG4771, andG2532 ofG5259 youG4771 to be brought on my wayG4311 towardG1519 JudaeaG3588G2449. 17When I thereforeG3767 wasG1011 thusG3778 mindedG1011, didG3361 I useG5530 lightnessG3588G1644? orG2228 the thingsG3739 that I purposeG1011, do I purposeG1011 according toG2596 the fleshG4561, thatG2443 withG3844 meG1473 there should beG1510 yeaG3483 yeaG3483, andG2532 nayG3756 nayG3756? 18ButG1161 as GodG3588G2316 is trueG4103, ourG1473 wordG3588G3056 towardG4314 youG4771 wasG1096 notG3756 yeaG3483 andG2532 nayG3756. 19ForG1063 the SonG5207 of GodG3588G2316, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 was preachedG2784 amongG1722 youG4771 byG1223 usG1473, even byG1223 meG1473 andG2532 SilvanusG4610 andG2532 TimothyG5095, wasG1096 notG3756 yeaG3483 andG2532 nayG3756, butG235 inG1722 himG846 wasG1096 yeaG3483. 20ForG1063 allG3745 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846 are yeaG3483, andG2532 inG1722 himG846 AmenG281, untoG4314 the gloryG1391 of GodG3588G2316 byG1223 usG1473. 21NowG1161 he whichG3588 stablishethG950 usG1473 withG4862 youG4771 inG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 hath anointedG5548 usG1473, is GodG2316; 22WhoG3588 hathG4972 alsoG2532 sealedG4972 usG1473, andG2532 givenG1325 the earnestG3588G728 of the SpiritG3588G4151 inG1722 ourG1473 heartsG3588G2588. 23

MoreoverG1161 IG1473 callG1941 GodG3588G2316 for a recordG3144 uponG1909 myG1699 soulG5590, thatG3754 to spareG5339 youG4771 I cameG2064 not as yetG3765 untoG1519 CorinthG2882. 24NotG3756 for thatG3754 we have dominionG2961 over yourG4771 faithG3588G4102, butG235 areG1510 helpersG4904 of yourG4771 joyG3588G5479: forG1063 by faithG4102 ye standG2476.
