Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

God of All Comfort
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,
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;
who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
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.
If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.
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,
Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.
(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.
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.
Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.
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;
He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.
who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.
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 are not writing to you anything other than what you read and understand and I hope you will fully understand —
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,
just as you did partially understand us — that on the day of our Lord Jesus you will boast of us as we will boast of you.
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.
Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a second experience of grace.
And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to come back to you from Macedonia and have you send me on my way to Judea.
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.
Was I vacillating when I wanted to do this? Do I make my plans according to the flesh, ready to say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
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?
As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No.
Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes.
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 all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.
For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.
And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us,
Now he that 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.
But I call God to witness against me — it was to spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.
But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.
