2 Corinthians 1 - Interlinear Bible
Introduction
1
Paul, an
apostle of
Christ Jesus by the
will of
God, and
Timothy our
brother, To the
church of
God which is at
Corinth with
all the
saints who are
throughout Achaia :
2
Grace to you and
peace from
God our
Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
6
But
if we are
afflicted, it is for your
comfort and
salvation ;
or if we are
comforted, it is for your
comfort, which is
effective in the
patient enduring of the
same sufferings which we
also suffer ;
7
and our
hope for you is
firmly grounded,
knowing that as you are
sharers of our
sufferings,
so also you are sharers of our
comfort.
8
For we do not
want you to be
unaware,
brethren, of our
affliction which
came to us in
Asia, that we were
burdened excessively *,
beyond our
strength,
so that we
despaired even of
life ;
10
who delivered us from
so great a peril of
death, and will
deliver us, He on
whom we have
set our
hope. And He will
yet deliver us,
11
you
also joining in
helping us through your
prayers,
so that
thanks may be
given by
many persons on our
behalf for the
favor bestowed on us
through the prayers of
many.
Paul's Integrity
12
For our
proud confidence is
this : the
testimony of our
conscience, that in
holiness and
godly sincerity, not in
fleshly wisdom but in the
grace of
God, we have
conducted ourselves in the
world, and
especially toward you.
14
just as you
also partially did
understand us, that we are your
reason to be
proud as you
also are
ours, in the
day of our
Lord Jesus.
16
that is, to
pass your
way into
Macedonia, and
again from
Macedonia to
come to you, and by you to be
helped on my
journey to
Judea.
17
Therefore, I was not
vacillating * when I
intended to do
this, was I?
Or what I
purpose, do I
purpose according to the
flesh,
so that with me there will be
yes,
yes and
no,
no at the same time?
18
But as
God is
faithful, our
word to you is not
yes and
no.
19
For the
Son of
God,
Christ Jesus, who was
preached among you by us-by me and
Silvanus and
Timothy -was not
yes and
no, but is
yes in Him.
20
For as
many as are the
promises of
God, in Him they are
yes ;
therefore also through Him is our
Amen to the
glory of
God through us.
21
Now He who
establishes us with you in
Christ and
anointed us is
God,
22
who
also sealed us and
gave us the
Spirit in our
hearts as a
pledge.
23
But I
call God as
witness to my
soul, that to
spare you I did not
come again to
Corinth.
24
Not that we
lord it
over your
faith, but are
workers with you for your
joy ; for in your
faith you are
standing firm.
