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.

2 So I made the decision myself not to make a sad visit to you, 2 because if I’m making you all upset, who would be left to cheer me up except for the people that I would’ve just upset? 3 So I wrote this same thing, so that when I came, I wouldn’t get your upsets when I should be being happy, having trusted in you all that my happiness is in you. 4 I wrote to you much difficulty and anguish in my heart and through many tears, not wanted to make you all upset, but rather so that you’d know how much love toward you all is much greater than all that.

1:16: Acts 19:1.

1:19: Acts 18:5.

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.
2 I _judged for by _myself this, which not again in sorrow to you _all to _come.
2 For/Because if I am _sorrowing you _all, also who is which gladdening me, except not/lest the one being _sorrowed by me?
3 And I _wrote this same thing, in _order _that not having _come, sorrow I _may _have from of _whom it _was _fitting me to _be _rejoicing, having _trusted in all you _all that the my joy of _all of _you is.
4 For/Because out _of much tribulation and anguish of _heart, I _wrote to _you _all through many tears, not in _order _that you _all _may _be _sorrowed, but the love in _order _that you _all _may _know that I _am _having more _abundantly toward you _all.
