2Corinthians:1:12-2:4
bwe@2Corinthians:1:12 @ You already know something about us. I hope that you will come to know us fully. On the day when the Lord Jesus comes you will be proud of us. So too will we be proud of you.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:13 @ Because I was sure of this, I wanted to visit you before. Then you would have had a double blessing.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:14 @ I wanted to visit you and then go to Macedonia. I wanted to visit you again when I was on my way back from Macedonia. Then you would send me on my way to Judea.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:15 @ That was what I wanted to do. Now then, did I act as if I did not know what I wanted? When I make my plans, do you think I make them like a man of this world? Do I say Yes when I mean to say No?
bwe@2Corinthians:1:16 @ As surely as God is true, our message to you was not Yes and No at the same time.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Silvanus and Timothy and I told you about the Son of God, Jesus Christ. His word was not Yes and No. It was always Yes.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:18 @ To the many promises God has made Christ can say Yes.He can make them all come true. So then, it is because of Christ that we can say, Yes, it is so! when we praise God.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:19 @ It is God who makes us stand strong with you in Christ. God has chosen us and put his mark on us.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:20 @ He has put his Spirit in our hearts. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will receive all God has promised.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Let God take my life if what I say is not true. I did not go to Corinth because I did not want to make you sad.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:22 @ We do not rule over what you believe. But we work with you to make you glad. You are strong already by believing as you do.
bwe@2Corinthians:1:24 @ missing fehlt/missing
bwe@2Corinthians:2:1 @ I made up my mind that I would not go to visit you again if I had to make you sad.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sad, who is going to make me glad? No one, but the one I made sad.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:3 @ That is why I wrote the letter. I did not want to come and be made sad by those who should make me glad. I am sure that what makes me glad makes you all glad too.
bwe@2Corinthians:2:4 @ When I wrote to you, I was in great trouble and my heart was very heavy. I cried with many tears. I did not want you to be sad, but I just wanted to let you know that I love you very much who made me sad. It was not only me that he made sad. It was every one of you, in a way. I say in a way because I do not want to be too strong in what I say.
