1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, and to all the saints being in the whole of Achaia. 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 the one comforting us in all our affliction so that we are able to comfort the ones in every affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ abound toward us, in the same way also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort which you are experiencing in endurance of the same sufferings that we ourselves also suffer. 7 And our hope concerning you is firm, knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, in the same way, also of the comfort.
8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning the tribulation having happened to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our ability, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Indeed, we ourselves have had within ourselves the sentence of death so that we would not be having become confident in ourselves, but in God, the one raising the dead, 10 who rescued us from so great a death, and he will rescue us—on whom we have set our hope that he will rescue us yet again, 11 you also joining in helping in supplication on our behalf—so that thanks may be given on our behalf from many faces for the gracious gift to us through many.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that we conducted ourselves in the world in holiness[fn] and sincerity of God, and not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you. 13 For we write no other things to you but than what you read or also understand, but I hope that you will understand to the end—14 just as you also understood us in part—so that we are your boasting, just as you also are ours, on the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 And with this confidence, I was intending to come to you before so that you might have a second grace,[fn] 16 and to pass through you into Macedonia and to come to you again from Macedonia and to be sent ahead to Judea by you. 17 Therefore, intending this, I did not then act in fickleness, did I? Or what I intend, do I intend according to the flesh, so that there would be with me “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?
18 But God is faithful, so that our word to you is not “Yes” and “No.” 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one having been proclaimed among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but it has been “Yes” in him. 20 For as many as are the promises of God, they are “Yes” in him. Therefore, also through him the “Amen” is through us to God for his glory. 21 Now the one establishing us with you in Christ and having anointed us is God, 22 the one also having sealed us and having given us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Now I invoke God as a witness upon my soul that sparing you, I have not yet come to Corinth. 24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers for your joy, for you stand firm in the faith.
