2 Corinthians Chapter 1

2Co 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia.
2Co 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Co 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
2Co 1:4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those that are in all affliction through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God;
2Co 1:5 for as the sufferings of Christ abound toward us, so through Christ our comfort also abounds.
2Co 1:6 But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; and our hope of you is firm: or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort and salvation,
2Co 1:7 knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the comfort.
2Co 1:8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction that came upon us in Asia, that we were exceedingly pressed beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;
2Co 1:9 but we ourselves have had in ourselves the sentence of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
2Co 1:10 who delivered us from so great a death and does deliver, on whom we hope that he will even yet deliver,
2Co 1:11 you also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed on us because of the prayers of many persons, thanks may be given through many on our behalf.
2Co 1:12 For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, have we conducted ourselves in the world, but more abundantly with you.
2Co 1:13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge; and I hope you will acknowledge even to the end,
2Co 1:14 even as you also acknowledge us in part, that we are your cause of glorying as you also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
2Co 1:15 And in this confidence I intended before to come to you, that you might have a second benefit;
2Co 1:16 and through you to pass into Macedonia, and to come again from Macedonia to you; and by you to be sent forward into Judea.
2Co 1:17 Intending this, then, did I use lightness? Or the things which I intend, do I intend according to the flesh, that there should be with me the yes yes and the no no?
2Co 1:18 But as God is faithful, our word which is toward you is not yes and no.
2Co 1:19 For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you through us-through me, and Silvanus, and Timothy: was not yes and no, but in him was yes.
2Co 1:20 For as many promises of God as there are, in him is the yes, and in him the amen to the glory of God through us.
2Co 1:21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us is God,
2Co 1:22 who has also sealed us and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
2Co 1:23 But I call God as a witness against my soul, that, because I would spare you, I came no more to Corinth.
2Co 1:24 Not that we are lords over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy; for by faith you stand.
