2 Corinthians 1
New Living Translation

Greetings from Paul

1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy.

I am writing to God’s church in Corinth and to all of his holy people throughout Greece.[a]

2 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

God Offers Comfort to All

3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 5 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. 6 Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. 7 We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.

8 We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters,[b] about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. 9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. 10 And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. 11 And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.

Paul’s Change of Plans

12 We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a God-given holiness[c] and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God’s grace, not on our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you. 13 Our letters have been straightforward, and there is nothing written between the lines and nothing you can’t understand. I hope someday you will fully understand us, 14 even if you don’t understand us now. Then on the day when the Lord Jesus[d] returns, you will be proud of us in the same way we are proud of you.

15 Since I was so sure of your understanding and trust, I wanted to give you a double blessing by visiting you twice— 16 first on my way to Macedonia and again when I returned from Macedonia.[e] Then you could send me on my way to Judea.

17 You may be asking why I changed my plan. Do you think I make my plans carelessly? Do you think I am like people of the world who say “Yes” when they really mean “No”? 18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” 19 For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” He is the one whom Silas,[f] Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God’s ultimate “Yes,” he always does what he says. 20 For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.

21 It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, 22 and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us.

23 Now I call upon God as my witness that I am telling the truth. The reason I didn’t return to Corinth was to spare you from a severe rebuke. 24 But that does not mean we want to dominate you by telling you how to put your faith into practice. We want to work together with you so you will be full of joy, for it is by your own faith that you stand firm.

2 Corinthians 1
New American Standard Bible

Introduction

1 Paul, (A)an apostle of (B)Christ Jesus (C)by the will of God, and our brother (D)Timothy,

To (E)the church of God which is at (F)Corinth with all the [a]saints who are throughout (G)Achaia:

2 (H)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 (I)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and (J)God of all comfort, 4 who (K)comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in [b]any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just (L)as the sufferings of Christ are [c]ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 6 But if we are afflicted, it is (M)for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; 7 and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that (N)as you are partners in our sufferings, so also you are in our comfort.

8 For (O)we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our (P)affliction which occurred in [d](Q)Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 [e]Indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead, 10 who (R)rescued us from so great a danger of death, and will rescue us, He [f](S)on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us, 11 if you also join in (T)helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by (U)many persons in our behalf for the favor granted to us through the prayers of many.

Paul’s Integrity

12 For our [g]proud confidence is this: the testimony of (V)our conscience, that in holiness and (W)godly sincerity, (X)not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you. 13 For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand (Y)until the end; 14 just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, on (Z)the day of our Lord Jesus.

15 In this confidence I intended at first to (AA)come to you, so that you might [h]twice receive a [i](AB)blessing; 16 [j]that is, to (AC)pass [k]your way into (AD)Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be (AE)helped on my journey to Judea. 17 Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I decide, do I decide (AF)according to the flesh, so that with me there will be [l]yes, yes and no, no at the same time? 18 But as (AG)God is faithful, (AH)our word to you is not yes and no. 19 For (AI)the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us—by me and (AJ)Silvanus and (AK)Timothy—was not yes and no, but has been yes (AL)in Him. 20 For (AM)as many as the promises of God are, (AN)in Him they are yes; therefore through Him also is (AO)our Amen to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who (AP)establishes us with you in Christ and (AQ)anointed us is God, 22 who also (AR)sealed us and (AS)gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a [m]pledge.

23 But (AT)I call God as witness to my soul, that it was (AU)to spare you that I did not come again to (AV)Corinth. 24 Not that we (AW)domineer over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are (AX)standing firm.

2 Corintios 1
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

Saludo

1 Pablo, apóstol de Cristo Jesús(A) por la voluntad de Dios(B), y el hermano Timoteo(C),

A la iglesia de Dios(D) que está en Corinto(E), con todos los santos que están en toda Acaya(F): 2 Gracia y paz a ustedes de parte de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo(G).

El Dios de toda consolación

3 Bendito sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo(H), Padre de misericordias y Dios de toda consolación(I), 4 el cual nos consuela en todas nuestras tribulaciones(J), para que también nosotros podamos consolar a los que están en cualquier aflicción, dándoles el consuelo con que nosotros mismos somos consolados por Dios.

5 Porque así como los sufrimientos de Cristo son nuestros en abundancia[a], así también abunda nuestro consuelo por medio de Cristo[b](K). 6 Pero si somos atribulados, es para el consuelo y salvación de ustedes(L); o si somos consolados, es para consuelo de ustedes, que obra al soportar las mismas aflicciones que nosotros también sufrimos. 7 Y nuestra esperanza respecto de ustedes está firmemente establecida, sabiendo que como son copartícipes de los sufrimientos, así también lo son de la consolación(M).

8 Porque no queremos que ignoren, hermanos(N), acerca de nuestra aflicción sufrida[c] en Asia[d](O). Porque fuimos abrumados sobremanera, más allá de nuestras fuerzas, de modo que hasta perdimos la esperanza de salir con vida(P). 9 De hecho[e], dentro de nosotros mismos ya teníamos la sentencia de muerte, a fin de que no confiáramos en nosotros mismos, sino en Dios que resucita a los muertos, 10 el cual nos libró(Q) de tan gran peligro de muerte y nos librará, y en quien hemos puesto nuestra esperanza(R) de que Él aún nos ha de librar. 11 Ustedes también cooperaron con nosotros con la oración(S), para que por muchas personas sean dadas gracias a favor nuestro por el don que nos ha sido impartido por medio de las oraciones de muchos(T).

Sinceridad de Pablo

12 Porque nuestra satisfacción[f] es esta: el testimonio de nuestra conciencia(U) que en la santidad[g] y en la sinceridad que viene de Dios(V), no en sabiduría carnal(W) sino en la gracia de Dios, nos hemos conducido en el mundo y especialmente hacia ustedes. 13 Porque ninguna otra cosa les escribimos sino lo que leen y entienden, y espero que entenderán hasta el fin(X); 14 como también ustedes nos han entendido en parte que nosotros somos el motivo de su gloria, así como también ustedes la nuestra en el día de nuestro Señor Jesús(Y).

15 Y con esta confianza me propuse ir primero a ustedes(Z) para que dos veces recibieran bendición[h](AA), 16 es decir[i], quería visitarlos de paso[j] a Macedonia(AB), y de Macedonia ir de nuevo a ustedes(AC) y ser encaminado por ustedes en mi viaje(AD) a Judea.

17 Por tanto, cuando me propuse esto, ¿acaso obré precipitadamente? O lo que me propongo, ¿me lo propongo conforme a la carne(AE), para que en mí haya al mismo tiempo el sí, sí, y el no, no? 18 Pero como Dios es fiel(AF), nuestra palabra a ustedes no es sí y no(AG). 19 Porque el Hijo de Dios, Cristo Jesús(AH), que fue predicado entre ustedes por nosotros, por mí, Silvano(AI) y Timoteo(AJ), no fue sí y no, sino que ha sido sí en Él(AK).

20 Pues tantas como sean las promesas de Dios(AL), en Él todas son sí(AM). Por eso también por medio de Él, es nuestro Amén(AN), para la gloria de Dios por medio de nosotros. 21 Ahora bien, el que nos confirma(AO) con ustedes en Cristo y el que nos ungió(AP), es Dios, 22 quien también nos selló(AQ) y nos dio el Espíritu en nuestro corazón(AR) como garantía[k].

23 Pero yo invoco a Dios como testigo(AS) sobre mi alma, que por consideración a ustedes no he vuelto a Corinto(AT). 24 No es que queramos tener control de su fe(AU), sino que somos colaboradores con ustedes para su gozo, porque es en la fe que permanecen firmes(AV).
