2 Corinthians
Darby Bible Translation → New International Version

Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all his holy people throughout Achaia:

Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

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

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.

who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.

For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,

If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.

(and our hope for you [is] sure;) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.

And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,a about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself.

But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.

who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;

He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us,

ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.

as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.

Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrityb and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace.

For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,

For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that,

even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as ye [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.

And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;

Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you first so that you might benefit twice.

and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.

I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.

Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?

Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say both “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?

Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.

But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us — by me and Silasc and Timothy — was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.”

For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,

who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

I call God as my witness — and I stake my life on it — that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.
