2 Corinthians 1
American Standard Version
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy [a]our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in the whole of Achaia: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be [b]the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ. 6 But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: 7 and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort. 8 For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9 [c]yea, we ourselves have had the [d]sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead: 10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have [e]set our hope that he will also still deliver us; 11 ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
12 For our glorying 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 to you-ward. 13 For we write no other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end: 14 as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second [f]benefit; 16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judaea. 17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay? 18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you [g]by us, even [h]by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea. 20 For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us. 21 Now he that establisheth us with you [i]in Christ, and anointed us, is God; 22 [j]who also sealed us, and gave us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth. 24 Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in [k]faith ye stand fast.

1 Paul Paulos, an apostle apostolos of Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous by dia the will thelēma of God theos, and kai Timothy Timotheos our ho brother adelphos, to the ho church ekklēsia of ho God theos that ho is eimi at en Corinth Korinthos, with syn all pas the ho saints hagios who ho are eimi in en all holos · ho Achaia Achaia: 2 Grace charis to you hymeis and kai peace eirēnē from apo God theos our hēmeis Father patēr and kai the Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos.
3 Blessed eulogētos be the ho God theos and kai Father patēr of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, the ho Father patēr of ho mercies oiktirmos and kai God theos of all pas encouragement paraklēsis, 4 who ho encourages parakaleō us hēmeis in epi all pas · ho our hēmeis troubles thlipsis, so that eis we hēmeis may be able dynamai to encourage parakaleō those ho experiencing en any pas trouble thlipsis with dia the ho encouragement paraklēsis with which hos we ourselves autos are encouraged parakaleō by hypo · ho God theos. 5 For hoti just as kathōs the ho sufferings pathēma of ho Christ Christos overflow perisseuō to eis us hēmeis, so houtōs also kai does the ho encouragement paraklēsis we receive hēmeis through dia · ho Christ Christos overflow perisseuō. 6 If eite · de we are distressed thlibō, it is for hyper · ho your hymeis encouragement paraklēsis and kai salvation sōtēria; if eite we are encouraged parakaleō, it is for hyper · ho your hymeis encouragement paraklēsis that ho you experience energeō in en your patient endurance hypomonē of the ho same autos sufferings pathēma that hos we hēmeis also kai suffer paschō. 7 And kai · ho our hēmeis hope elpis for hyper you hymeis is firm bebaios, because we know oida that hoti as hōs you share in koinōnos our ho sufferings pathēma, so houtōs also kai you will share in our ho encouragement paraklēsis.
8 For gar we do not ou want thelō you hymeis to be unaware agnoeō, brothers adelphos, about hyper the ho affliction thlipsis we hēmeis · ho suffered ginomai in en · ho Asia Asia, that hoti we were burdened bareō excessively kata hyperbolē beyond hyper our power dynamis to cope, so that hōste we hēmeis despaired exaporeō even kai of ho living zaō. 9 Indeed alla, we autos had echō the ho sentence apokrima of ho death thanatos within en ourselves heautou, that hina we should eimi no longer mē trust peithō in epi ourselves heautou, but alla in epi the ho God theos who ho raises egeirō the ho dead nekros. 10 He hos delivered rhyomai us hēmeis from ek so great tēlikoutos a risk of death thanatos and kai will deliver rhyomai us. On eis him hos we have set our hope elpizō that hoti he will deliver rhyomai us yet eti again kai, 11 as you hymeis also kai join in helping synypourgeō us hēmeis by ho prayer deēsis, so that hina thanks may be given eucharisteō by ek many polys people prosōpon on hyper our hēmeis behalf hyper for the ho gracious gift charisma granted to eis us hēmeis through dia the help of many polys.
12 · ho For gar our hēmeis confidence kauchēsis is eimi this houtos, the ho testimony martyrion of ho our hēmeis conscience syneidēsis, that hoti with en simplicity haplotēs and kai sincerity eilikrineia like that of ho God theos, and kai not ou with en earthly sarkikos wisdom sophia but alla by en the grace charis of God theos, we conducted anastrephō ourselves in en the ho world kosmos, and de all the more perissoterōs toward pros you hymeis. 13 Now gar we are graphō not ou writing graphō you hymeis anything allos other alla than ē what hos you can read anaginōskō and ē also kai understand epiginōskō. But de I hope elpizō that hoti you will understand epiginōskō fully heōs telos, 14 just as kathōs also kai you have understood epiginōskō us hēmeis partially apo meros, that hoti we are eimi your hymeis source of pride kauchēma, as kathaper you hymeis also kai are ours hēmeis, in en the ho day hēmera of the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous.
15 And kai because of this houtos · ho confidence pepoithēsis, I was intending boulomai to come erchomai to pros you hymeis first proteros, so that hina you might have echō a second deuteros benefit charis— 16 · kai through dia your hymeis help, to go dierchomai on to eis Macedonia Makedonia, and kai from apo Macedonia Makedonia to come erchomai back palin to pros you hymeis and kai to be helped by hypo you hymeis on my way propempō to eis · ho Judea Ioudaia. 17 Therefore oun when I was planning boulomai this houtos, I was chraomai not mēti · ho capricious elaphria, was I? Or ē the hos things I plan bouleuō, do I plan bouleuō according kata to the flesh sarx, so that hina with para me egō it would be eimi · ho “ Yes nai, yes nai” and kai · ho “ No ou, no ou” at the same time? 18 But de as surely as God theos is trustworthy pistos, · ho · ho our hēmeis word logos · ho to pros you hymeis has not ou been eimi “ Yes nai” and kai “ No ou.” 19 For gar the ho Son hyios of ho God theos, Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, the ho one who was proclaimed kēryssō among en you hymeis by dia us hēmeis— by dia me egō, · kai Silvanus Silouanos, and kai Timothy Timotheos— was ginomai not ou “ Yes nai” and kai “ No ou,” but alla in en him autos it has always been ginomai “ Yes nai.” 20 For gar all hosos the promises epangelia of God theos find their ho “ Yes nai” in en him autos; and that is why dio · kai it is through dia him autos that we hēmeis say our ho “ Amen amēn” to ho God theos for pros his glory doxa. 21 Now de God theos is the ho one who strengthens bebaioō us hēmeis, together with syn you hymeis, in eis Christ Christos, and kai has anointed chriō us hēmeis, 22 and who ho has also kai sealed sphragizō us hēmeis and kai given didōmi us his ho Spirit pneuma in en our hēmeis hearts kardia as ho a pledge arrabōn. · ho 23 I egō · de call epikaleō God theos as a witness martys · ho against epi · ho my emos soul psychē, that hoti it was to spare pheidomai you hymeis that I did erchomai not come erchomai again ouketi to eis Corinth Korinthos. 24 Not ou that hoti we are ruling kyrieuō over your hymeis · ho faith pistis, but alla we are eimi workers synergos with you for ho your hymeis joy chara; for gar by ho faith pistis you have stood histēmi firm .
