1:1 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 which are in all Achaia:
1:2 Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and
[from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3 Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be
able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort
wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our
consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
1:6 And 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.
1:7 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye
are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the
consolation.
1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our
trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of
measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of
life:
1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we
should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the
dead:
1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth
deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us];
1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the
gift [bestowed] upon us by the means of many persons thanks may
be given by many on our behalf.
1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our
conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with
fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our
conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
1:13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye
read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to
the end;
1:14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are
your rejoicing, even as ye also [are] ours in the day of the
Lord Jesus.
1:15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you
before, that ye might have a second benefit;
1:16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out
of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way
toward Judaea.
1:17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness?
or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the
flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
1:18 But [as] God [is] true, our word toward you was not yea
and nay.
1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among
you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea
and nay, but in him was yea.
1:20 For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in him
Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
1:21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath
anointed us, [is] God;
1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the
Spirit in our hearts.
1:23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to
spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are
helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
