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

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

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation;

because as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation through Christ also abounds.

For Christ Jesus, the Son of God, the one being preached by us, through me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but it was yes in him.

But the one confirming us along with you unto Christ, and having anointed us, is God.

But to whom you forgive anything, I do also: for indeed whatsoever I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sakes in the face of Christ;

And having come into Troas, for the gospel of Christ, and there being a door opened unto me in the Lord,

But thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and manifesting the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place:

because we are a sweet savour of Christ unto God, among those who are saved, and among those who perish;

For we are not as many, corrupting the word of God: but as of purity, but as from God, we speak in Christ, in the presence of God.

being manifest that you are the letter of Christ, having been ministered by us, having been written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God: not in tables of stone, but in tables that are hearts of flesh.

But we have such confidence through Christ towards God,

But their minds were darkened. For until this day the same veil remains in the reading of the old covenant, remains, not lifted; because it is done away in Christ;

in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who believe not, in order that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine on them.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

Because God is the one, having said; Out of the darkness the light shall shine, which shone in our hearts, to the enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

For it behooves us all to appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, in order that each one may receive according to those things which he has done through the body, whether good or evil.

For the love of Christ constrains us; having judged this, that one died for all; then were all dead;

So that we from now know no man after the flesh: if indeed we have known Christ after the flesh, but we now know him no more.

So if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, they have become new.

All things are from God, the one having reconciled us unto himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,

as that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their transgressions to them, even having placed in us the word of reconciliation.

Therefore we are embassadors in behalf of Christ, as God is intreating you through us; we pray you in behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

What concord of Christ unto Belial? or what part has a faithful man with an infidel?

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, being rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be made rich.

Whether in behalf of Titus, my companion and fellow-laborer towards you; or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.

through the approval of this ministry, glorifying God in the submission of your testimony to the gospel of Christ, and the purity of your fellowship unto them and unto all;

But I Paul exhort you through the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who before your face am indeed humble among you, but being absent am bold towards you:

casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If any has trusted to himself that he belongs to Christ, let him again consider this in reference to himself, that as he belongs to Christ, so do we also.

For not as not reaching unto you do we stretch ourselves, for we have advanced in the gospel of Christ even unto you:

For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God: for I espoused you to one husband, to present you a pure virgin to Christ;

but I fear, lest, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity which is in Christ.

The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not cease unto me in the regions of Achaia.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

Are they the ministers of Christ? (I speak as a mad man,) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes more abundantly, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often;

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one being blessed forever, knows that I lie not.

I knew a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I know not; whether out of the body, I know not, such a one having been caught up even to the third heaven.

And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most delightfully I will glory the more in my infirmities, in order that the power of Christ may abide on me.

Therefore I delight in infirmities, in insults, in difficulties, in persecutions, and in tight places, for Christ's sake: for when I am without strength, then I am dynamite.

For a long time you were thinking that I am apologizing to you. We speak before God in Christ; but all things, beloved, are for your edification.

since you are seeking the approval of Christ, who is speaking in me, who is not weak towards you, bit mighty among you.

Prove your own selves, if you are in the faith; examine yourselves; whether do you not know yourselves, that Christ Jesus is in you? unless indeed you are reprobates.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
