Paulg3972,  aan apostleg652 of  bChristg5547 Jesusg2424  cby the willg2307 of Godg2316, and  dTimothyg5095 our brotherg80,

To  ethe churchg1577 of Godg2316 which is at  fCorinthg2882 with allg3956 the  1saintsg40 who are throughoutg3650  gAchaiag882:

2

 aGraceg5485 to you and peaceg1515 from Godg2316 our Fatherg3962 and the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547.

3

 aBlessedg2128 be the Godg2316 and Fatherg3962 of our Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547, the Fatherg3962 of merciesg3628 and  bGodg2316 of allg3956 comfortg3874,

4

who  acomfortsg3870 us in allg3956 our afflictiong2347 sog1519 that we will be ableg1410 to comfortg3870 thoseg3588 who are in  1anyg3956 afflictiong2347 with the comfortg3874 with whichg3739 we ourselvesg846 are comfortedg3870 by Godg2316.

5

For justg2531a  aas the sufferingsg3804 of Christg5547 are  1oursg1473 in abundanceg4052, sog3779 alsog2532 our comfortg3874 is abundantg4052 throughg1223 Christg5547.

6

But ifg1535a we are afflictedg2346, it is  afor your comfortg3874 and salvationg4991; org1535a ifg1535a we are comfortedg3870, it is for your comfortg3874, which is effectiveg1754 in the patientg5281 enduringg5281 of the sameg846 sufferingsg3804 whichg3739 we alsog2532 sufferg3958;

7

and our hopeg1680 for you is firmlyg949 groundedg949, knowingg3609a that  aas you are sharersg2844 of our sufferingsg3804, sog3779 alsog2532 you are sharers of our comfortg3874.

8

For  awe do not wantg2309 you to be unawareg50, brethreng80, of our  bafflictiong2347 which cameg1096 to us in  1 cAsiag773, that we were burdenedg916 excessivelyg2596g5236, beyondg5228 our strengthg1411, sog5620 that we despairedg1820 eveng2532 of lifeg2198;

9

 1indeedg235, we hadg2192 the sentenceg610 of deathg2288 withing1722 ourselvesg1438 sog2443 that we would not trustg3982 in ourselvesg1438, but in Godg2316 who raisesg1453 the deadg3498;

10

whog3739  adeliveredg4506 us from sog5082 greatg5082 a peril of deathg2288, and will deliverg4506 us,  1He  bon whomg3739 we have setg1679 our hopeg1679. And He will yetg2089 deliverg4506 us,

11

you alsog2532 joiningg4943 in  ahelpingg4943 us through your prayersg1162, sog2443 that thanksg2168 may be giveng2168 by  bmanyg4183 personsg4383 on our behalfg5228 for the favorg5486 bestowedg1519 on us throughg1223 the prayers of manyg4183.

Paul's Integrity

12

For our  1proudg2746a confidenceg2746a is thisg3778: the testimonyg3142 of  aour conscienceg4893, that in holinessg41 and  bgodlyg2316 sincerityg1505,  cnot in fleshlyg4559 wisdomg4678 but in the graceg5485 of Godg2316, we have conductedg390 ourselves in the worldg2889, and especiallyg4053 towardg4314 you.

13

For we writeg1125 nothingg3756 elseg243 to you thang2228 whatg3739 you readg314 and understandg1921, and I hopeg1679 you will understandg1921  auntilg2193 the endg5056;

14

justg2531a as you alsog2532 partiallyg3313 did understandg1921 us, that we are your reasong2745 to be proudg2745 as you alsog2532 are oursg1473, in  athe dayg2250 of our Lordg2962 Jesusg2424.

15

In thisg3778 confidenceg4006 I intendedg1014 at firstg4387 to  acomeg2064 to you, sog2443 that you might  1twiceg1208 receiveg2192 a  2 bblessingg5485;

16

 1that is, to  apassg1330  2your wayg1223 into  bMacedoniag3109, and againg3825 from Macedoniag3109 to comeg2064 to you, and by you to be  chelpedg4311 on my journeyg4311 to Judeag2453.

17

Thereforeg3767, I was not vacillatingg5530g1644 when I intendedg1014 to do thisg3778, was I? Org2228 whatg3739 I purposeg1011, do I purposeg1011  aaccordingg2596 to the fleshg4561, sog2443 that with me there will be yesg3483a, yesg3483a and nog3756, nog3756 at the same time?

18

But as  aGodg2316 is faithfulg4103,  bour wordg3056 to you is not yesg3483a and nog3756.

19

For  athe Song5207 of Godg2316, Christg5547 Jesusg2424, who was preachedg2784 amongg1722 you by us--by me and  bSilvanusg4610 and  cTimothyg5095--was not yesg3483a and nog3756, but is yesg3483a  din Him.

20

For  aas manyg3745 as are the promisesg1860 of Godg2316,  bin Him they are yesg3483a; thereforeg1352 alsog2532 throughg1223 Him is  cour Ameng281 to the gloryg1391 of Godg2316 throughg1223 us.

21

Nowg1161 He who  aestablishesg950 us with you in Christg5547 and  banointedg5548 us is Godg2316,

22

who alsog2532  asealedg4972 us and  bgaveg1325 us the Spiritg4151 in our heartsg2588 as a  1pledgeg728.

23

But  aI callg1941 Godg2316 as witnessg3144  1to my soulg5590, that  bto spareg5339 you I did not comeg2064 againg3765 to  cCorinthg2882.

24

Not that we  alordg2961 it overg2961 your faithg4102, but are workersg4904 with you for your joyg5479; for in your faithg4102 you are  bstandingg2476 firmg2476.
