2 Corinthians 1]
1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God and Timothy our brother, to the congregation* of God which is in Corinth, together with all the holy-ones who are in the whole ofAchaia: 1:2 grace to you* and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies and God of all encouragement is gracious*; 1:4 who is encouraging us on our every affliction, *that* we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction, through the encouragement of which we ourselves are encouraged by God. 1:5 Because just-as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so our encouragement also abounds through the Christ. 1:6 But whether we are afflicted, it is on behalf of your* encouragement and salvation; which is working in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also are suffering; and our hope is steadfast on your* behalf. If whether we are encouraged, it is on behalf of your* encouragement and salvation, 1:7 knowing that, just-like you* are partners of the sufferings, so you* are also of the comfort. 1:8 For* brethren, we do not wish you* to be ignorant in regard to our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were burdened down surpassingly, beyond our power, so-then for us to be despaired even to be living.1:9 But, we ourselves have had the verdict of death in ourselves, in order that we should not be having confidence upon ourselves, but upon God, who is raising up the dead; 1:10 who rescued us out of so-great a death and is rescuing us; in whom we have hoped that he will also still be rescuing us. 1:11You* are also working together on our behalf by your* supplication; in order that the gift* to us from many faces {i.e. mouths} might be a giving-thanks through many people on our behalf.
1:12 For* this is our boasting, the testimony of our conscience, that in clarity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world and even-more toward you*. 1:13 For* we are writing no other things to you*, but what you* are reading or even what you* know. Now I hope you* will fully know these things we write until the end; 1:14as you* also recognized us partially, that we are your* boasting, just-as you* are also ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
1:15 And in this confidence, I was planning to come to you* beforehand, in order that you*might have a second favor from me; 1:16 and through you* to go through into Macedonia, and away from Macedonia to come to you* again and to be sent onward to Judea by you*. 1:17Therefore while planning this certain thing, I did not then use fickleness, did I? Or what I plan, do I plan those things according to the flesh, in order that there should be from me the yes, yes and the no, no? 1:18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you* did not become yes and no. 1:19For* the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you* through us, that is, through me and Silvanus and Timothy, did not become yes and no, but in him it has become yes. 1:20 For* as many things as are the promises of God, in him is the yes and the amen is in him, for glory to God through us. 1:21 Now he who is confirming us together with you* in Christ and anointed us is God, 1:22 who also sealed us and gave us the down-payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
1:23 Now I myself call upon God as a witness upon my soul, that, I came to Corinth no more sosparing you*. 1:24 Not that we have lordship over your* faith, but are fellow workers of your* joy; for* you* are standing in the faith.
