Paul an apostle of Iesous Christos by the will of God and
Timotheus our brother to the congregation of God which is at Corinthum with all
the saints which are in all Achaia:
2: Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Iesous Christos
3: Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus the Christ Father of mercies and the God of all comfort 4: Who comforts us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God 5: For as the afflictions of Christ abound in us so our consolation also abounds by Christ 6: Whether we be troubled for your consolation and health which health shows her power in that you suffer the same afflictions which we also suffer or whether we be comforted for your consolation and health 7: Yet our hope is steadfast for you inasmuch as we know how that as you have your part in afflictions so shall you be partakers of consolation 8: For we would not brethren have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia that we were grieved out of measure above strength so greatly that we despaired even of life 9: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead to life again 10: Who delivered us from so great a death and does deliver in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us 11: You also helping together by prayer for us that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf 12: For our rejoicing is this the testimony of our conscience that in simplicity and godly sincerity not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God we have had our conversation in the world and more abundantly to you-ward 13: For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end 14: As also you have acknowledged us in part that we are your rejoicing even as you also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus 15: And in this confidence I was minded to come to you before that you might have a second benefit 16: And to pass by you into Macedonia and to come again out of Macedonia unto you and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea 17: When I therefore was thus minded did I use lightness or the things that I purpose do I purpose according to the flesh that with me there should be yea yea and nay nay 18: But as God is true our word toward you was not yes and nay 19: For the Son of God Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus was not yes and no but in him was yes 20: For all the promises of God in him are yes and in him Amen to the glory of God by us 21: Now he which establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God 22: Who has also sealed us and given the earnest of the Spirit into our hearts 23: Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul that to spare you I came not as yet to Corinthum 24: Not for that we be lords over your faith but helpers of your joy for by faith you stand.
