2 Corinthians 1
King James Version
1 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:
2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 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.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 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.
7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
8 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:
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 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.
12 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.
13 For we write none other things unto you, that what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
14 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.
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
16 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.
17 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?
18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
19 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.
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

2 Corinthians 1
New International Version
1 Paul, an apostle(A) of Christ Jesus by the will of God,(B) and Timothy(C) our brother,
To the church of God(D) in Corinth,(E) together with all his holy people throughout Achaia:(F)
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(G)
Praise to the God of All Comfort
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,(H) the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us(I) in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ,(J) so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation;(K) if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings,(L) so also you share in our comfort.
8 We do not want you to be uninformed,(M) brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced(N) in the province of Asia.(O) We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God,(P) who raises the dead.(Q) 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril,(R) and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope(S) that he will continue to deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers.(T) Then many will give thanks(U) on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
Paul’s Change of Plans
12 Now this is our boast: Our conscience(V) testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity[b](W) and godly sincerity.(X) We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom(Y) but on God’s grace. 13 For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, 14 as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.(Z)
15 Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you(AA) first so that you might benefit twice.(AB) 16 I wanted to visit you on my way(AC) to Macedonia(AD) and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way(AE) to Judea.(AF) 17 Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner(AG) so that in the same breath I say both “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?
18 But as surely as God is faithful,(AH) our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.” 19 For the Son of God,(AI) Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas[c](AJ) and Timothy(AK)—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always(AL) been “Yes.” 20 For no matter how many promises(AM) God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen”(AN) is spoken by us to the glory of God.(AO) 21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm(AP) in Christ. He anointed(AQ) us, 22 set his seal(AR) of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.(AS)
23 I call God as my witness(AT)—and I stake my life on it—that it was in order to spare you(AU) that I did not return to Corinth. 24 Not that we lord it over(AV) your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.(AW)

God of All Comfort
1 Paul, (A)an apostle of (B)Christ Jesus (C)by the will of God, and (D)Timothy our brother,
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 abound to us, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 But whether we are afflicted, it is (M)for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is working in your perseverance in the same sufferings which we also suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that (N)as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort.
8 For (O)we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of our (P)affliction which came to us in [c](Q)Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even to live. 9 [d]Indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not have confidence in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; 10 who (R)rescued us from so great a peril of death, and will rescue us, [e]He (S)on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet rescue us, 11 you also joining in (T)helping us through your prayers on our behalf, so that thanks may be given on our behalf by (U)many persons for the gracious gift bestowed on us through the prayers of many.
Paul’s Change of Plans
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of (V)our conscience, that in [f]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 for boasting as you also are ours, in (Z)the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 And in this confidence I intended at first to (AA)come to you, so that you might receive [g](AB)grace twice; 16 [h]that is, to (AC)pass [i]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, was I vacillating when I intended to do this? Or what I purpose, do I purpose (AF)according to the flesh, so that with me there will be 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, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and (AJ)Silvanus and (AK)Timothy—was not yes and no, but has become yes (AL)in Him. 20 For (AM)as many as are the promises of God, (AN)in Him they are yes. Therefore also through Him 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 the [j]pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 But (AT)I call God as witness [k]to my soul, that (AU)to spare you I did not come again to (AV)Corinth. 24 Not that we (AW)lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are (AX)standing firm.

2 Corinto 1
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
1 Mula kay (A) Pablo, apostol ni Cristo Jesus sa pamamagitan ng kalooban ng Diyos, at mula kay Timoteo na ating kapatid—
Sa iglesya ng Diyos sa Corinto, kasama ng lahat ng mga banal na nasa buong Acaia: 2 Sumainyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaang mula sa Diyos na ating Ama at mula sa Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.
Pasasalamat sa Gitna ng Paghihirap
3 Purihin ang Diyos at Ama ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, ang Ama ng mga kahabagan at Diyos ng lahat ng kaaliwan. 4 Inaaliw niya tayo sa lahat ng ating paghihirap, upang maaliw natin ang nasa anumang paghihirap, sa pamamagitan ng kaaliwang tinanggap natin mula sa Diyos. 5 Sapagkat kung paanong ang paghihirap ni Cristo ay sumasagana sa ating buhay, sa pamamagitan din ni Cristo ay umaapaw ang ating kaaliwan. 6 Ngunit kung pinahihirapan man kami, ito ay upang kayo'y maaliw at maligtas. Kung kami ay inaaliw, ito ay upang kayo'y maaliw, at sa pamamagitan nito'y magkakaroon kayo ng kakayahang magtiis ng mga pagdurusang aming dinaranas. 7 Matibay ang aming pag-asa tungkol sa inyo, sapagkat alam namin na kung kayo'y karamay namin sa pagdurusa, karamay din namin kayo sa kaaliwang tinatanggap namin.
8 Nais (B) naming malaman ninyo, mga kapatid, ang tungkol sa mga paghihirap na sinapit namin sa Asia. Sapagkat napakabigat ang aming naranasan doon na halos hindi namin nakaya, anupa't nawalan kami ng pag-asang mabuhay. 9 Ngunit kami mismo ang tumanggap ng hatol na kamatayan, upang kami ay huwag magtiwala sa aming sarili, kundi sa Diyos na bumubuhay sa mga patay. 10 Siya na nagligtas sa amin mula sa gayong tiyak na kamatayan ang patuloy na magliligtas sa amin. Umaasa kami na patuloy pa niya kaming ililigtas, 11 habang tinutulungan ninyo kami sa pamamagitan ng inyong panalangin para sa amin. Sa gayon ay maraming tao ang magpapasalamat dahil sa mga biyayang ibinigay sa amin bilang kasagutan sa maraming panalangin.
Pagpapaliban ng Pagdalaw ni Pablo
12 Sapagkat ito ang aming maipagmamalaki: nagpapatotoo ang aming budhi na ang pamumuhay namin sa sanlibutan, at lalo na sa inyo ay may kalinisan at katapatang mula sa Diyos, hindi ayon sa makamundong karunungan, kundi sa biyaya ng Diyos. 13 Sapagkat ang isinusulat namin ay ang kaya lamang ninyong basahin at unawain. Umaasa ako na lubos ninyo itong mauunawaan, 14 kung paanong naunawaan ninyo kami nang bahagya, na kami ay maipagmamalaki ninyo gaya ninyo na aming maipagmamalaki sa araw ng Panginoong Jesus.
15 Dahil sa pagtitiwalang ito, binalak kong dalawin muna kayo, upang kayo'y magkaroon ng higit pang pagpapala. 16 Ninais kong dalawin kayo noong ako'y (C) papuntang Macedonia, at mula roon ay bumalik sa inyo, at sa ganoon ay maihatid ninyo ako sa aking paglalakbay papuntang Judea. 17 Nagdalawang-isip ba ako nang binalak kong gawin ito? Katulad ba ako ng makamundong tao kung magplano, na pinagsasabay ang “Oo at Hindi?” 18 Dahil tapat ang Diyos, ang aming salita sa inyo ay hindi “Oo at Hindi.” 19 Sapagkat (D) ang Anak ng Diyos, si Jesu-Cristo na ipinangaral sa inyo sa pamamagitan ko at nina Silvano at Timoteo, ay hindi “Oo at Hindi,” kundi sa kanya ang “Oo” ay “Oo.” 20 Sapagkat gaano man karami ang mga pangako ng Diyos, lahat ng mga ito kay Cristo ay “Oo.” Kaya't sa pamamagitan niya ay nasasabi namin ang “Amen,” sa ikaluluwalhati ng Diyos. 21 At ang nagpapatatag sa amin at sa inyo kay Cristo ay ang Diyos. Hinirang niya kami, 22 tinatakan at ibinigay ang Espiritu sa aming mga puso bilang katibayan.
23 Nagsusumamo ako sa Diyos bilang aking saksi, na hindi ako natuloy sa pagpunta sa Corinto upang hindi kayo mabigatan. 24 Hindi sa ibig naming maging panginoon ninyo sa pananampalataya, sa halip kami ay mga kamanggagawa ninyo upang magdulot sa inyo ng kagalakan, sapagkat kayo'y nananatiling matatag sa pananampalataya.
