Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.
Greeting
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The God of All Comfort
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;
Comfort in Suffering
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.
Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which *we* also suffer,
Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
(and our hope for you [is] sure;) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.
And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.
But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;
Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,
who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.
Paul's Change of Plans
For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.
For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.
For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,
For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end
even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as *ye* [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
(as also you have understood us in part), that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
Sparing the Church
And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit —
And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit —
and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.
to pass by way of you to Macedonia, to come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea.
Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?
Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?
Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea *is* in him.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us — by me, Silvanus, and Timothy — was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.
For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.
For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,
Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.
Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.
