1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the assembly of God being in Corinth, with all the saints being in all Achaia,
|
1. Paul G3972 , an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 by G1223 the will G2307 of God G2316 , and G2532 Timothy G5095 our brother G80 , unto the G3588 church G1577 of God G2316 which is G5607 at G1722 Corinth G2882 , with G4862 all G3956 the G3588 saints G40 which are G5607 in G1722 all G3650 Achaia G882 :
|
|
2. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
|
2. Grace G5485 be to you G5213 and G2532 peace G1515 from G575 God G2316 our G2257 Father G3962 , and G2532 from the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 .
|
|
3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions and God of all comfort,
|
3. Blessed G2128 be God G2316 , even G2532 the Father G3962 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , the G3588 Father G3962 of mercies G3628 , and G2532 the God G2316 of all G3956 comfort G3874 ;
|
|
4. the One comforting us on all our affliction, for us to be able to comfort those in every affliction, through the comfort by which we ourselves are comforted by God.
|
4. Who G3588 comforteth G3870 us G2248 in G1909 all G3956 our G2257 tribulation G2347 , that we G2248 may be able G1410 to comfort G3870 them G3588 which are in G1722 any G3956 trouble G2347 , by G1223 the G3588 comfort G3874 wherewith G3739 we G848 ourselves are comforted G3870 of G5259 God G2316 .
|
|
5. Because even as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
|
5. For G3754 as G2531 the G3588 sufferings G3804 of Christ G5547 abound G4052 in G1519 us G2248 , so G3779 our G2257 consolation G3874 also G2532 aboundeth G4052 by G1223 Christ G5547 .
|
|
6. But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation, being worked out in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort and salvation;
|
6. And G1161 whether G1535 we be afflicted G2346 , it is for G5228 your G5216 consolation G3874 and G2532 salvation G4991 , which is effectual G1754 in G1722 the enduring G5281 of the G3588 same G846 sufferings G3804 which G3739 we G2249 also G2532 suffer G3958 : or whether G1535 we be comforted G3870 , it is for G5228 your G5216 consolation G3874 and G2532 salvation G4991 .
|
|
7. and our hope for you is certain, knowing that even as you are sharers of the sufferings, so also of the comfort.
|
7. And G2532 our G2257 hope G1680 of G5228 you G5216 is steadfast G949 , knowing G1492 , that G3754 as G5618 ye are G2075 partakers G2844 of the G3588 sufferings G3804 , so G3779 shall ye be also G2532 of the G3588 consolation G3874 .
|
|
8. For, brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant as to our affliction having happened to us in Asia, that we were excessively burdened beyond our power, so as for us even to despair of living.
|
8. For G1063 we would G2309 not G3756 , brethren G80 , have you ignorant G50 G5209 of G5228 our G2257 trouble G2347 which came G1096 to us G2254 in G1722 Asia G773 , that G3754 we were pressed G916 out of measure G2596 G5236 , above G5228 strength G1411 , insomuch that G5620 we G2248 despaired G1820 even G2532 of life G2198 :
|
|
9. But we ourselves have the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust on ourselves, but on God, the One raising the dead,
|
9. But G235 we G848 had G2192 the G3588 sentence G610 of death G2288 in G1722 ourselves G1438 , that G2443 we should G5600 not G3361 trust G3982 in G1909 ourselves G1438 , but G235 in G1909 God G2316 which raiseth G1453 the G3588 dead G3498 :
|
|
10. who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we have hope that He will still deliver us,
|
10. Who G3739 delivered G4506 us G2248 from G1537 so great G5082 a death G2288 , and G2532 doth deliver G4506 : in G1519 whom G3739 we trust G1679 that G3754 he will G2532 yet G2089 deliver G4506 us;
|
|
11. you also laboring together for us in prayer, that the gracious gift by many persons be the cause of thanksgiving through many for us.
|
11. Ye G5216 also G2532 helping together G4943 by prayer G1162 for G5228 us G2257 , that G2443 for the gift G5486 bestowed upon G1519 us G2248 by the means of G1537 many G4183 persons G4383 thanks may be given G2168 by G1223 many G4183 on our behalf G5228 G2257 .
|
|
12. For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we had our conduct in the world in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.
|
12. For G1063 our G2257 rejoicing G2746 is G2076 this G3778 , the G3588 testimony G3142 of our G2257 conscience G4893 , that G3754 in G1722 simplicity G572 and G2532 godly G2316 sincerity G1505 , not G3756 with G1722 fleshly G4559 wisdom G4678 , but G235 by G1722 the grace G5485 of God G2316 , we have had our conversation G390 in G1722 the G3588 world G2889 , and G1161 more abundantly G4056 to G4314 you G5209 -ward.
|
|
13. For we do not write other things to you than what you read or even recognize; and I hope that you will recognize even to the end,
|
13. For G1063 we write G1125 none G3756 other things G243 unto you G5213 , than G235 G2228 what G3739 ye read G314 or G2228 G2532 acknowledge G1921 ; and G1161 I trust G1679 ye shall G3754 acknowledge G1921 even G2532 to G2193 the end G5056 ;
|
|
14. even as you also in part recognized us, that we are your glorying, even as also you are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
|
14. As G2531 also G2532 ye have acknowledged G1921 us G2248 in G575 part G3313 , that G3754 we are G2070 your G5216 rejoicing G2745 , even as G2509 ye G5210 also G2532 are ours G2257 in G1722 the G3588 day G2250 of the G3588 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
15. And in this confidence, I purposed to come to you before now, that you might have a second benefit,
|
15. And G2532 in this G5026 confidence G4006 I was minded G1014 to come G2064 unto G4314 you G5209 before G4386 , that G2443 ye might have G2192 a second G1208 benefit G5485 ;
|
|
16. and to go through you into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you and to be set forward by you to Judea.
|
16. And G2532 to pass G1330 by G1223 you G5216 into G1519 Macedonia G3109 , and G2532 to come G2064 again G3825 out of G575 Macedonia G3109 unto G4314 you G5209 , and G2532 of G5259 you G5216 to be brought on my way G4311 toward G1519 Judea G2449 .
|
|
17. Then purposing this, did I indeed use lightness? Or what I purposed, did I purpose according to flesh, that it may be with me yes, yes, and no, no?
|
17. When I therefore G3767 was thus minded G1011 G5124 , did I G3385 G686 use G5530 lightness G1644 ? or G2228 the things that G3739 I purpose G1011 , do I purpose G1011 according G2596 to the flesh G4561 , that G2443 with G3844 me G1698 there should be G5600 yea G3483 yea G3483 , and G2532 nay G3756 nay G3756 ?
|
|
18. But God is faithful, that our word to you did not become yes and no.
|
18. But G1161 as God G2316 is true G4103 G3754 , our G2257 word G3056 toward G4314 you G5209 was G1096 not G3756 yea and nay G3483 G2532 G3756 .
|
|
19. For Jesus Christ the Son of God, the One proclaimed among you by us, through me and Silvanus and Timothy, did not become Yes and No, but has been Yes in Him.
|
19. For G1063 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 , Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , who was preached G2784 among G1722 you G5213 by G1223 us G2257 , even by G1223 me G1700 and G2532 Silvanus G4610 and G2532 Timothy G5095 , was G1096 not G3756 yea and nay G3483 G2532 G3756 , but G235 in G1722 him G846 was G1096 yea G3483 .
|
|
20. For as many promises as are of God, in Him they are yes, and in Him are Amen, for glory to God through us.
|
20. For G1063 all G3745 the promises G1860 of God G2316 in G1722 him G846 are G3588 yea G3483 , and G2532 in G1722 him G846 G3588 Amen G281 , unto G4314 the glory G1391 of God G2316 by G1223 us G2257 .
|
|
21. But He confirming us and anointing us with you in Christ is God,
|
21. Now G1161 he which establisheth G950 us G2248 with G4862 you G5213 in G1519 Christ G5547 , and G2532 hath anointed G5548 us G2248 , is God G2316 ;
|
|
22. even He having sealed us, and having given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
|
22. Who hath also sealed G4972 G2532 us G2248 , and G2532 given G1325 the G3588 earnest G728 of the G3588 Spirit G4151 in G1722 our G2257 hearts G2588 .
|
|
23. And I call God as witness to my soul that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.
|
23. Moreover G1161 I G1473 call G1941 God G2316 for a record G3144 upon G1909 my G1699 soul G5590 , that G3754 to spare G5339 you G5216 I came G2064 not as yet G3765 unto G1519 Corinth G2882 .
|
|
24. Not that we rule over your faith, but we are fellow-workers of your joy. For by faith you stand.
|
24. Not G3756 for that G3754 we have dominion over G2961 your G5216 faith G4102 , but G235 are G2070 helpers G4904 of your G5216 joy G5479 : for G1063 by faith G4102 ye stand G2476 .
