Paul ,
an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God ,
and Timothy our brother ,
to the assembly of God which is at Corinth ,
with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia :
web @
2Corinthians:1:2 @
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ .
web @
2Corinthians:1:3 @
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
the Father of mercies and God of all comfort ;
web @
2Corinthians:1:4 @
who comforts us in all our affliction ,
that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction ,
through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God .
web @
2Corinthians:1:5 @
For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us ,
even so our comfort also abounds through Christ .
web @
2Corinthians:1:6 @
But if we are afflicted ,
it is for your comfort and salvation .
If we are comforted ,
it is for your comfort ,
which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer .
web @
2Corinthians:1:7 @
Our hope for you is steadfast ,
knowing that ,
since you are partakers of the sufferings ,
so also are you of the comfort .
web @
2Corinthians:1:8 @
For we don '
t desire to have you uninformed ,
brothers , {
The word for "
brothers "
here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "
brothers and sisters "
or "
siblings ."}
concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia ,
that we were weighed down exceedingly ,
beyond our power ,
so much that we despaired even of life .
web @
2Corinthians:1:9 @
Yes ,
we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves ,
that we should not trust in ourselves ,
but in God who raises the dead ,
web @
2Corinthians:1:10 @
who delivered us out of so great a death ,
and does deliver ;
on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us ;
web @
2Corinthians:1:11 @
you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication ;
that ,
for the gift bestowed on us by means of many ,
thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf .
web @
2Corinthians:1:12 @
For our boasting is this :
the testimony of our conscience ,
that in holiness and sincerity of God ,
not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world ,
and more abundantly toward you .
web @
2Corinthians:1:13 @
For we write no other things to you ,
than what you read or even acknowledge ,
and I hope you will acknowledge to the end ;
web @
2Corinthians:1:14 @
as also you acknowledged us in part ,
that we are your boasting ,
even as you also are ours ,
in the day of our Lord Jesus .
web @
2Corinthians:1:15 @
In this confidence ,
I was determined to come first to you ,
that you might have a second benefit ;
web @
2Corinthians:1:16 @
and by you to pass into Macedonia ,
and again from Macedonia to come to you ,
and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea .
web @
2Corinthians:1:17 @
When I therefore was thus determined ,
did I show fickleness ?
Or the things that I purpose ,
do I purpose according to the flesh ,
that with me there should be the "
Yes ,
yes "
and the "
No ,
no ?"
web @
2Corinthians:1:18 @
But as God is faithful ,
our word toward you was not "
Yes and no ."
web @
2Corinthians:1:19 @
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 is "
Yes ."
web @
2Corinthians:1:20 @
For however many are the promises of God ,
in him is the "
Yes ."
Therefore also through him is the "
Amen ,"
to the glory of God through us .
web @
2Corinthians:1:21 @
Now he who establishes us with you in Christ ,
and anointed us ,
is God ;
web @
2Corinthians:1:22 @
who also sealed us ,
and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts .
web @
2Corinthians:1:23 @
But I call God for a witness to my soul ,
that I didn '
t come to Corinth to spare you .
web @
2Corinthians:1:24 @
Not that we have lordship over your faith ,
but are fellow workers with you for your joy .
For you stand firm in faith .
