1:1 Paul,
an
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
through
the
will
of
God,
and
Timotheus
the
brother,
to
the
assembly
of
God
that
is
in
Corinth,
with
all
the
saints
who
are
in
all
Achaia:
1:2 Grace
to
you
and
peace
from
God
our
Father,
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ!
1:3 Blessed
[is]
God,
even
the
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
Father
of
the
mercies,
and
God
of
all
comfort,
1:4 who
is
comforting
us
in
all
our
tribulation,
for
our
being
able
to
comfort
those
in
any
tribulation
through
the
comfort
with
which
we
are
comforted
ourselves
by
God;
1:5 because,
as
the
sufferings
of
the
Christ
do
abound
to
us,
so
through
the
Christ
doth
abound
also
our
comfort;
1:6 and
whether
we
be
in
tribulation,
[it
is]
for
your
comfort
and
salvation,
that
is
wrought
in
the
enduring
of
the
same
sufferings
that
we
also
suffer;
whether
we
are
comforted,
[it
is]
for
your
comfort
and
salvation;
1:7 and
our
hope
[is]
stedfast
for
you,
knowing
that
even
as
ye
are
partakers
of
the
sufferings--so
also
of
the
comfort.
1:8 For
we
do
not
wish
you
to
be
ignorant,
brethren,
of
our
tribulation
that
happened
to
us
in
Asia,
that
we
were
exceedingly
burdened
above
[our]
power,
so
that
we
despaired
even
of
life;
1:9 but
we
ourselves
in
ourselves
the
sentence
of
the
death
have
had,
that
we
may
not
be
trusting
on
ourselves,
but
on
God,
who
is
raising
the
dead,
1:10 who
out
of
so
great
a
death
did
deliver
us,
and
doth
deliver,
in
whom
we
have
hoped
that
even
yet
He
will
deliver;
1:11 ye
working
together
also
for
us
by
your
supplication,
that
the
gift
through
many
persons
to
us,
through
many
may
be
thankfully
acknowledged
for
us.
1:12 For
our
glorying
is
this:
the
testimony
of
our
conscience,
that
in
simplicity
and
sincerity
of
God,
not
in
fleshly
wisdom,
but
in
the
grace
of
God,
we
did
conduct
ourselves
in
the
world,
and
more
abundantly
toward
you;
1:13 for
no
other
things
do
we
write
to
you,
but
what
ye
either
do
read
or
also
acknowledge,
and
I
hope
that
also
unto
the
end
ye
shall
acknowledge,
1:14 according
as
also
ye
did
acknowledge
us
in
part,
that
your
glory
we
are,
even
as
also
ye
[are]
ours,
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
Jesus;
1:15 and
in
this
confidence
I
was
purposing
to
come
unto
you
before,
that
a
second
favour
ye
might
have,
1:16 and
through
you
to
pass
to
Macedonia,
and
again
from
Macedonia
to
come
unto
you,
and
by
you
to
be
sent
forward
to
Judea.
1:17 This,
therefore,
counselling,
did
I
then
use
the
lightness;
or
the
things
that
I
counsel,
according
to
the
flesh
do
I
counsel,
that
it
may
be
with
me
Yes,
yes,
and
No,
no
1:18 and
God
[is]
faithful,
that
our
word
unto
you
became
not
Yes
and
No,
1:19 for
the
Son
of
God,
Jesus
Christ,
among
you
through
us
having
been
preached--through
me
and
Silvanus
and
Timotheus--did
not
become
Yes
and
No,
but
in
him
it
hath
become
Yes;
1:20 for
as
many
as
[are]
promises
of
God,
in
him
[are]
the
Yes,
and
in
him
the
Amen,
for
glory
to
God
through
us;
1:21 and
He
who
is
confirming
you
with
us
into
Christ,
and
did
anoint
us,
[is]
God,
1:22 who
also
sealed
us,
and
gave
the
earnest
of
the
Spirit
in
our
hearts.
1:23 And
I
for
a
witness
on
God
do
call
upon
my
soul,
that
sparing
you,
I
came
not
yet
to
Corinth;
1:24 not
that
we
are
lords
over
your
faith,
but
we
are
workers
together
with
your
joy,
for
by
the
faith
ye
stand.
