2 Corinthians 1:8-18

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

8 Because, brothers, we would not have you ignore our tribulation which was done unto us in Asia, that we were burdened beyond our strength, in such a manner that we despaired even of life:

8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.

9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.

10 who delivered us from so great a death and does deliver; in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us,

11 ye also helping us with prayer, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world and more abundantly towards you.

12 Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace.

13 For we write no other things unto you than what ye read or also know, and I trust ye shall know them even to the end

13 For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that,

14 as also ye have known in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

14 as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.

15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before that ye might have a second grace

15 Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you first so that you might benefit twice.

16 and to pass by you into Macedonia and to come again out of Macedonia unto you and of you to be sent forward to Judaea.

16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.

17 When I, therefore, was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that of me there should be yes, yes, and no, no?

17 Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say both “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?

18 But God is faithful that our word toward you has not been yes and no.

18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
