2 Corinthians 1 - Lighthouse Bible 2006

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

4 Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.

6 And if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is at work in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

7 And our hope for you is steadfast, knowing, that as you are sharers in the sufferings, so shall you also be in the consolation.

8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed beyond measure, above our strength, so that we despaired even of life:

9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in 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;

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

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 conduct in the world, and more abundantly towards you.

13 For we write no other things to you, than what you read or acknowledge; and I trust you shall acknowledge even to the end;

14 As also you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as you also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

15 And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit;

16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia to you, and to be brought on my way by you towards Judea.

17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I do it carelessly? Or the things that I decide to do, do I decide according to the flesh, that with me there should be yes yes, and no no?

18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yes and no.

19 For 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 it was yes.

20 For all the promises of God are yes in him, and Amen in him, to the glory of God through us.

21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;

22 Who has also sealed us, and given the guarantee of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 Moreover I call God as a witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come as yet to Corinth.

24 Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith you stand.
