Paul, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the church of God being in Corinth, with all holy ones being in the whole of Achaia:

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

Praised the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion, and God of all comfort:

As also ye observed us by part, that we are your boast, as also ye ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who proclaimed in you by us, by me, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but was yea in him.

For we proclaim not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus.

For God, having spoken light to shine out of darkness, who shone in our hearts, to the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Always bearing about in the body the death of the Lord Jesus, that also the life of Jesus be made manifest in our body.

For we, the living, are always delivered to death for Jesus, that also the life of Jesus be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

Knowing that he having raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us by Jesus, and present us with you.

And all things of God, having reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given us the service of reconciliation;

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for you he was in a state of beggary, being rich; that ye in his poverty might be rich.

For if he coming proclaim another Jesus, which I proclaimed not, or ye receive another spirit, which ye received not, or other good news, which ye received not, ye have held up well.

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ knows, he being praised forever, that I lie not.

Try yourselves, if ye are in the faith; prove yourselves. Or know ye not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless ye are not tried?

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit with you all. Amen.
