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.
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 will 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.
For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.
Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also 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,
and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of 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 want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;
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 had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in 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;
who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,
who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
you also joining in helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on 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 Integrity
For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.
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 write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;
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 also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
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.
In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;
And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey 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.
Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be 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?
But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.
Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us — by me and Silvanus and Timothy — was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.
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 as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.
For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.
Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,
who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.
But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.
