2 Corinthians 1

3 The apostle encourageth them against troubles, by the comforts and deliverances which God had given him, as in all his afflictions, 8 so particularly in his late danger in Asia. 12 And calling both his own conscience and theirs to witness of his sincere manner of preaching the immutable truth of the Gospel, 15 he excuseth his not coming to them, as proceeding not of lightness, but of his lenity towards them.

 1:1 ¶ Paul, 3972 an apostle 652 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 by 1223 the will 2307 of God, 2316 and 2532 Timothy 5095 [our] brother, 80 unto the x3588 church 1577 of God 2316 which y3588 is 5607 z5752 at 1722 Corinth, 2882 with 4862 all 3956 the x3588 saints 40 which y3588 are 5607 z5752 in 1722 all 3650 Achaia: 882

 1:2 Grace 5485 [be] to you 5213 and 2532 peace 1515 from 575 God 2316 our 2257 Father, 3962 and 2532 [from] the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ. 5547

 1:3 Blessed 2128 [be] God, 2316 even 2532 the Father 3962 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 the x3588 Father 3962 of mercies, 3628 and 2532 the God 2316 of all 3956 comfort; 3874

 1:4 Who 3588 comforteth 3870 z5723 us 2248 in 1909 all 3956 our 2257 tribulation, 2347 that y1519 we 2248 may be able 1410 z5738 to comfort 3870 z5721 them x3588 which are in 1722 any 3956 trouble, 2347 by 1223 the x3588 comfort 3874 wherewith 3739 we y3870 z0 x848 ourselves y846 are comforted 3870 z5743 of 5259 God. 2316

 1:5 For 3754 as 2531 the x3588 sufferings 3804 of Christ 5547 abound 4052 z5719 in 1519 us, 2248 so 3779 our 2257 consolation 3874 also 2532 aboundeth 4052 z5719 by 1223 Christ. 5547

 1:6 And 1161 whether 1535 we be afflicted, 2346 z5743 [it is] for 5228 your 5216 consolation 3874 and 2532 salvation, 4991 which y3588 is effectual 1754 z5734 in 1722 the enduring 5281 of the x3588 same 846 sufferings 3804 which 3739 we 2249 also 2532 suffer: 3958 z5719 or whether 1535 we be comforted, 3870 z5743 [it is] for 5228 your 5216 consolation 3874 and 2532 salvation. 4991

 1:7 And 2532 our 2257 hope 1680 of 5228 you 5216 [is] stedfast, 949 knowing, 1492 z5761 that 3754 as 5618 ye are 2075 z5748 partakers 2844 of the x3588 sufferings, 3804 so 3779 [shall ye be] also 2532 of the x3588 consolation. 3874

 1:8 For 1063 we would 2309 z5719 not, 3756 brethren, 80 have y50 z0 you y5209 ignorant 50 z5721 x5209 of 5228 our 2257 trouble 2347 which y3588 came 1096 z5637 to us 2254 in 1722 Asia, 773 that 3754 we were pressed y2596 x916 out y916 z5681 of measure, 5236 x2596 above 5228 strength, 1411 insomuch y5620 that x5620 we 2248 despaired 1820 z5683 even 2532 of life: 2198 z5721

 1:9 But 235 y846 we x848 had 2192 z5758 the x3588 sentence 610 of death 2288 in 1722 ourselves, 1438 that y3363 z0 x2443 we should y3982 z0 x5600 not y3363 x3361 trust 3982 z5756 in 1909 ourselves, 1438 y5600 z5753 but 235 in 1909 God 2316 which y3588 raiseth 1453 z5723 the x3588 dead: 3498

 1:10 Who 3739 delivered 4506 z5673 us 2248 from 1537 so great 5082 a death, 2288 and 2532 doth deliver: 4506 z5736 in 1519 whom 3739 we trust 1679 z5758 that 3754 he will 2532 y4506 z0 yet 2089 deliver 4506 z5695 [us];

 1:11 Ye 5216 also 2532 helping together 4943 z5723 by prayer 1162 for 5228 us, 2257 that 2443 for the gift 5486 [bestowed] upon 1519 us 2248 by y1537 the means of x1537 many 4183 persons 4383 thanks may be y2168 z5686 given y5228 x2168 by 1223 many 4183 on our behalf. 2257 x5228

 1:12 For 1063 our 2257 rejoicing 2746 is 2076 z5748 this, 3778 the x3588 testimony 3142 of our 2257 conscience, 4893 that 3754 in 1722 simplicity 572 and 2532 godly 2316 sincerity, 1505 not 3756 with 1722 fleshly 4559 wisdom, 4678 but 235 by 1722 the grace 5485 of God, 2316 we have had our conversation 390 z5648 in 1722 the x3588 world, 2889 and 1161 more abundantly 4056 to 4314 you-ward. 5209

 1:13 For 1063 we write 1125 z5719 none 3756 other things 243 unto you, 5213 than 235 2228 what 3739 ye read 314 z5719 or 2228 2532 acknowledge; 1921 z5719 and 1161 I trust 1679 z5719 y3754 ye shall x3754 acknowledge 1921 z5695 even 2532 to 2193 the end; 5056

 1:14 As 2531 also 2532 ye have acknowledged 1921 z5627 us 2248 in 575 part, 3313 that 3754 we are 2070 z5748 your 5216 rejoicing, 2745 even as 2509 ye 5210 also 2532 [are] ours 2257 in 1722 the x3588 day 2250 of the x3588 Lord 2962 Jesus. 2424

 1:15 And 2532 in this 5026 confidence 4006 I was minded 1014 z5711 to come 2064 z5629 unto 4314 you 5209 before, 4386 that 2443 ye might have 2192 z5725 a second 1208 benefit; 5485

 1:16 And 2532 to pass 1330 z5629 by 1223 you 5216 into 1519 Macedonia, 3109 and 2532 to come 2064 z5629 again 3825 out of 575 Macedonia 3109 unto 4314 you, 5209 and 2532 of 5259 you 5216 to be brought on my way 4311 z5683 toward 1519 Judaea. 2449

 1:17 When I y1011 z0 therefore 3767 was y1011 z0 thus y5124 minded, 1011 z5740 x5124 did I x3385 x686 use 5530 y3385 y686 z5662 lightness? 1644 or 2228 the things that 3739 I purpose, 1011 z5736 do I purpose 1011 z5736 according 2596 to the flesh, 4561 that 2443 with 3844 me 1698 there should be 5600 z5753 yea 3483 yea, 3483 and 2532 nay 3756 nay? 3756

 1:18 But 1161 [as] God 2316 [is] true, 4103 3754 our 2257 word 3056 toward 4314 you 5209 was 1096 z5633 not 3756 yea y3483 and y2532 nay. 3756 x3483 x2532

 1:19 For 1063 the x3588 Son y5207 x5027 of God, 2316 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 who y3588 was preached 2784 z5685 among 1722 you 5213 by 1223 us, 2257 [even] by 1223 me 1700 and 2532 Silvanus 4610 and 2532 Timotheus, 5095 was 1096 z5633 not 3756 yea y3483 and y2532 nay, 3756 x3483 x2532 but 235 in 1722 him 846 was 1096 z5754 yea. 3483

 1:20 For 1063 all 3745 the promises 1860 of God 2316 in 1722 him 846 [are] x3588 yea, 3483 and 2532 in 1722 him 846 x3588 Amen, 281 unto 4314 the glory 1391 of God 2316 by 1223 us. 2257

 1:21 Now 1161 he which stablisheth 950 z5723 us 2248 with 4862 you 5213 in 1519 Christ, 5547 and 2532 hath anointed 5548 z5660 us, 2248 [is] God; 2316

 1:22 Who y3588 hath y4972 z0 also y2532 sealed 4972 z5671 x2532 us, 2248 and 2532 given 1325 z5631 the x3588 earnest 728 of the x3588 Spirit 4151 in 1722 our 2257 hearts. 2588

 1:23 Moreover 1161 I 1473 call 1941 z5731 God 2316 for a record 3144 upon 1909 my 1699 soul, 5590 that 3754 to spare 5339 z5740 you 5216 I came 2064 z5627 not as yet 3765 unto 1519 Corinth. 2882

 1:24 Not 3756 for that 3754 we have dominion over 2961 z5719 your 5216 faith, 4102 but 235 are 2070 z5748 helpers 4904 of your 5216 joy: 5479 for 1063 by faith 4102 ye stand. 2476 z5758
