47_2CO_01_01 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 :
47_2CO_01_02 grace [ be ] to you And peace from God our Father , And [ from ] the LORD Jesus Christ .
47_2CO_01_03 blessed [ be ] God , even the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ , the Father of mercies , And the God of all comfort ;
47_2CO_01_04 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 .
47_2CO_01_05 for as the sufferings of Christ abound in us , So our consolation also aboundeth by Christ .
47_2CO_01_06 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 .
47_2CO_01_07 And our hope of you [ Is ] stedfast , knowing , that as ye are partakers of the sufferings , So [ shall ye be ] also of the consolation .
47_2CO_01_08 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 :
47_2CO_01_09 but we had the sentence of death in ourselves , that we should not trust in ourselves , but in God which raiseth the dead :
47_2CO_01_10 who delivered us from So great A death , And Doth deliver : in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [ us ] ;
47_2CO_01_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 .
47_2CO_01_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 .
47_2CO_01_13 for we write none other things unto you , than what ye read or acknowledge ; And I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end ;
47_2CO_01_14 as also ye have acknowledged us in part , that we are your rejoicing , even as ye also [ are ] ours in the day of the LORD Jesus .
47_2CO_01_15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before , that ye might have A second benefit ;
47_2CO_01_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 .
47_2CO_01_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 ?
47_2CO_01_18 but [ as ] God [ Is ] true , our word toward you was not yea And Nay .
47_2CO_01_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 .
47_2CO_01_20 for all the promises of God in him [ are ] yea , And in him Amen , unto the glory of God by us .
47_2CO_01_21 now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ , And hath anointed us , [ Is ] God ;
47_2CO_01_22 who hath also sealed us , And given the earnest of the spirit in our hearts .
47_2CO_01_23 moreover I call God for A record upon my soul , that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth .
47_2CO_01_24 not for that we have dominion over your faith , but are helpers of your joy : for by faith ye stand .
