Book 47 : 2 CORINTHIANS - Chapter 001
001:001
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and
Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at
Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia
001:002
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the
Lord Jesus Christ
001:003
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort
001:004
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able
to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort
wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God
001:005
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our
consolation also aboundeth by Christ
001:006
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and
salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same
sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted,
it is for your consolation and salvation
001:007
And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are
partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the
consolation
001:008
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble
which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure,
above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life
001:009
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should
not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead
001:010
Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in
whom we trust that he will yet deliver us
001:011
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift
bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be
given by many on our behalf
001:012
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience,
that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly
wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation
in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward
001:013
For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or
acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end
001:014
As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your
rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord
Jesus
001:015
And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before,
that ye might have a second benefit
001:016
And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of
Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward
Judaea
001:017
When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the
things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh,
that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay
001:018
But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay
001:019
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you
by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and
nay, but in him was yea
001:020
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen,
unto the glory of God by us
001:021
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath
anointed us, is God
001:022
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit
in our hearts
001:023
Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare
you I came not as yet unto Corinth
001:024
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers
of your joy: for by faith ye stand
