Literal Version

1 [ref]This letter is from Paul, a missionary of Messiah Yeshua by God’s will, and from our brother, Timothy.

It’s written to God’s assembly in Corinth, along with all the believers throughout the province of Achaia.

1 Paulos, an_ambassador of_chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) by the_will of_god, and Timotheos the brother, to _the assembly of_ the _god which being in Korinthos, with the holy ones all which being in all the Aⱪaia:
2 grace to _you _all and peace, from god the_father of _us and the_master Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah.

1:3 Suffering and comfort

3 May the God and father of our master Yeshua Messiah be blessed. He is the father of compassion and God of all comfort 4 who comforts us through all our trials so that we can comfort others through all their trials with the same comfort that God comforts us with. 5 In the same way that Messiah’s many sufferings are expected of us, so too the Messiah’s plentiful comfort also reaches us. 6 If we’re being oppressed, it’s for your comfort and salvation, and if we’re being comforted, it’s for your comfort which enables you all to endure the same sufferings that we’re suffering. 7 We have confident expectations for you all because we know that you are partners in suffering, and hence also in comfort.

8 [ref]Brothers and sisters, we don’t want you to miss out on knowing about our difficulties in the province of Asia Minor. We were weighed down with a situation totally beyond our power, so much so that we thought we wouldn’t live through it. 9 We were resigned in ourselves to the death sentence so that we wouldn’t trust in ourselves but in God who brings the dead back to life—10 the one who rescued us from that death and will rescue us again. He’s the one we put our hope in that he will continue to rescue us 11 as you also cooperated with us through your requests to him. Through this, many people will give thanks on our behalf for the gift that was granted to us in answer to the prayers of many.

3 Blessed is the god and father of _the master of _us Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah, the father of_ the _compassions and god of _all comfort, 4 the one comforting us in all the tribulation of _us, in _order that to _be _able us to _be _comforting the ones in every tribulation, through the comfort with _which we _are _being _comforted ourselves by the god.
5 Because as is _being _plentiful the sufferings of _the chosen _one /messiah toward us, thus through the chosen _one /messiah is _being _plentiful also the comfort of _us.
6 But whether we _are _being _oppressed, because/for the of _you _all comfort and salvation it _is, or we _are _being _comforted, because/for the of _you _all comfort it _is, which working in the_endurance of _the same sufferings, which also we are _suffering.
7 And the hope of _us confirmed for you _all, having _known that as partners you _all _are of _the sufferings, thus also of _the comfort.
8 For/Because not we _are _wanting you _all to _be _not _knowing, brothers, about the tribulation of _us which having _become in the Asia, that against excess beyond ^our_power we _were _weighed _down, so _as to _be _despairing us even which to _be _living.
9 But ourselves in ourselves the sentence of_ the _death we _have _had, in _order _that not having _trusted we _may _be in ourselves, but in the god, the one raising the dead, 10 who from so _great a_death rescued us, and will _be _rescuing us, in whom we _have _hoped that also still he _will _be _rescuing us, 11 cooperating _with also you _all for us the in _petition, in _order _that by many people, the toward us gift, through many, may _be _given _thanks for us.

1:12 The changes to Paul’s plans

12 So this is our boast: Our consciences testify that we have conducted ourselves in the world (and even more so towards all of you) with purity and godly sincerity, not with worldly wisdom, but relying on God’s grace. 13 We’re not writing other ideas to you other than what you’re all reading. You’re also understanding it and I’m hoping that you’ll be able to understand it all the way through to the end 14 as you initially partially understood us. Then on the day when Master Yeshua returns, you’ll be able to boast about us just as we do about all of you.

15 Because of my confidence in that, I had wanted to visit you all so that you’d have a second taste of grace, 16 [ref]and to continue on to Macedonia and to stay again on the way back, and then to have you all help send me on my way to Yudea. 17 Was I just being light-headed when I hoped for that? Or what was I thinking? Was I just thinking in worldly ways where yes, I might, and at the same time, no, I might not? 18 But our message to you all hasn’t been both ‘yes’ and ‘no’, because God is faithful. 19 [ref]His son Yeshua Messiah who I’ve preached about to you all, as well as hearing it from Silas and Timothy, didn’t become ‘yes’ and ‘no’, but in him it’s become ‘yes’. 20 Concerning the many promises made by God, in Messiah they’re ‘yes’, and therefore through him the ‘Let it be so’, resulting in honour for God through us. 21 It’s God who commissioned us and who confirms you and us to Messiah, 22 and God also places his seal on us and places his spirit in our hearts.

23 I call on God as a witness for my soul that it was to spare you all that I didn’t come to Corinth. 24 Not that we are in any way the masters of your faith, but rather we are fellow-workers sharing in your happiness because you all stand in the faith.

12 For/Because the boasting of _us this is:
the testimony of _the conscience of _us, that in holiness and sincerity of_ the _god, and not in wisdom fleshly, but in grace of_god, we _were _conducted in the world, and more _abundantly toward you _all.
13 For/Because no other things we _are _writing to _you _all, but than what you _all _are _reading or even you _all _are _understanding, and I _am _hoping that to the_end you _all _will _be _understanding, 14 as also you _all _understood us in part, that the_boast of _you _all we _are, just _as also you _all are of _us, in the day of _the master Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa).
15 And with _this the confidence I _was _wishing previously, to you _all to _come, in _order _that a_second grace you _all _may _have, 16 and by you _all to _pass _through to Makedonia, and again from Makedonia to _come to you _all, and by you _all to _be _sent _forward to the Youdaia.
17 Therefore this wishing, surely _not consequently to_ the _lightness I _resorted?
Or what I _am _counselling, according _to flesh I _am _counselling, in _order _that may _be with me the Yes, yes, and which No, no?
18 But faithful the god is, that the message of _us which to you _all, not is Yes and No.
19 The the For/Because of_god son, Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah, who among you _all by us having _been _proclaimed, by me, and Silouanos, and Timotheos, not became Yes and No, but Yes in him has _become.
20 For/Because as _many _as promises of_god, in him is the Yes.
Therefore also through him, the Truly, to_ the _god for the_glory by us.
21 And the one confirming us with you _all to chosen _one /messiah and having _anointed us is god, 22 who also having _sealed us and having _given the deposit of _the spirit in the hearts of _us.
23 But I as _witness the god am _calling on the my soul that sparing from _you _all no _longer I _came to Korinthos.
24 Not that we _are _mastering of _you _all over _the faith, but fellow-workers we _are of _the joy with _you _all, because/for in _the faith you _all _have _stood.
