Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the congregation of God that is at Corinth, with all the sanctified who are in the whole of Achaia.

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

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

as also ye did acknowledge us in part, because we are your boast, just as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was proclaimed among you by us (by me and Silvanus and Timothy) became not, yes and no, but in him has become, yes.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves are your bondmen through Jesus.

Because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who shone in our hearts for an enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the presence of Jesus Christ.

Always carrying around in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our body.

For we who live are always given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh.

knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up through Jesus, and will present us with you.

And all things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and who gave to us the ministry of reconciliation.

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich he became poor for your sakes, so that by that man's poverty ye might become rich.

For indeed if a man who comes, preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or ye receive another spirit that ye did not receive, or another good-news that ye did not accept, ye well tolerated it.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed into the ages, knows that I do not lie.

Examine yourselves whether ye are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or know ye not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless ye are test-failing something.

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