1Greeting<br/>Paul , an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia: 
2Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Paul Comforts the Believers in Suffering<br/>Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort,
4who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted by God .
5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.
6And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7And our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation.
8Delivered from Suffering<br/>For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were pressed beyond measure, beyond strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life.
9But we had the sentence <n>(answer)</n> of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead,
10who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us, in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us.
11You also helped by praying together for us, so that for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
12Paul's Sincerity<br/>For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience: that we have had our discourse in the world, and more abundantly toward you, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God in simplicity and godly sincerity.
13For we write no other things unto you than what you read or acknowledge; and I trust you shall acknowledge even to the end,
14as you also have acknowledged us in part , that we are your rejoicing, even as you also are ours in the Day of the Lord Jesus.
15Sparing the Church<br/>And in this confidence, I was minded to come unto you before this, that you might have a second benefit <n>(grace)</n>:
16to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to come again to you on my way out of Macedonia, and be sent by you on my way toward Judea.
17When therefore I was thus minded, did I decide lightly ? Or the things which I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be "yes , yes" and "no, no"?
18But as God is true, our word <n>(preaching)</n> toward you was not "yes" and "no."
19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not "yes" and "no," but in Him was "Yes."
20For all the promises of God in Him are "Yes"; and in Him "Amen " unto the glory of God by us.
21Now He who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God ,
22who has also put His seal upon us, and given us the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts <n>(as a guarantee)</n>.
23Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that it was to spare you that I came not as yet unto Corinth,
24not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers for your joy. For by faith you stand.
