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:

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

the one comforting us in all our tribulation, in order that we may be able to comfort those in all tribulation, through the consolation with which we ourselves are comforted of God,

who delivered us from so great a death, and will deliver: in whom he have hope that he will also yet deliver;

For we do not write other things to you, but those things which you read and know, and I hope that you will know them perfectly:

And I wrote this same thing, in order that, having come, I may not have grief over those from whom it behooves me to rejoice; and having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

But if any one has grieved you all, he has not grieved me, but in part, that I may not burden you excessively.

for unto this also I wrote, in order that I may know your approval, if you are obedient in all things.

You are our letter, having been written in our hearts, known and read of all men,

how will not the ministry of the spirit be more in glory?

But we all, with unveiled face beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

For we while living are always being delivered up to death for the sake of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

knowing that the one having raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us along with Jesus, and present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, in order that the grace, overflowing with thanksgiving through many, may abound unto the glory of God.

Therefore we are truly ambitious, whether being present or absent, to be well pleasing unto him.

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;

and he died for all, in order that those living may not live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them and is risen.

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

as sorrowing, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

And what harmony has the temple of God with idols? for we are the temple of the living God; as God said; I will live in them, and walk about among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Therefore come out from the midst of them, and be ye separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

and I will be to you for a Father, and you shall be unto me for sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

Therefore having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all the filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

My boldness to you is great, my rejoicing over you is much: I have been filled with consolation, I superabound with joy in all our tribulation.

Therefore we have been comforted. But we rejoiced the more exceedingly in our consolation over the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all:

because if I have gloried with him in anything over you, I wag not made ashamed; but as I spoke all things to you in truth, so our rejoicing over Titus was true.

And the affections of him, remembering the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling, are the more abundantly towards you.

and not as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us through the will of God:

But as in every thing you abound, in faith, and in word, and knowledge, and in all zeal, and in divine love from you in us, that you may also abound in this philanthropy.

But we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is through all the churches;

But God is able to make all grace abound unto you; in order that, always having all sufficiency in every thing, you may abound unto every good work: as has been written,

But he that gives seed to the sower, will also give bread to the eater, and multiply your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

in every thing being enriched in all purity, which works out through us thanksgiving to God.

Because the ministry of this free-will offering is not only supplying the deficiencies of the saints, but also superabounding through much thanksgiving to God;

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;

For if I shall in any thing the more abundantly boast concerning our power which the Lord gave us for your edification, and not for your destruction, I will not be ashamed:

Let such a one consider this, that, such as we are in word by our letters while absent, such we really are in work being present.

But we will not boast in things without measure, but according to the measure of the rule which measure God has measured to us, to reach even unto you.

For if indeed one coming preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel which you did not receive, well do you bear with him.

If indeed rude in speech, but not in knowledge; but in every thing making manifest unto you in all things.

for the brethren, having come from Macedonia, supplied my deficiency; and in everything I rendered myself not burdensome to you, and will so render.

But what I am doing, I indeed will do, in order that I may cut off occasion from those wishing occasion, in order that in whatsoever they may glory, they may be found even as we are.

Since many glory in the flesh, I will glory also.

Besides all these, that which comes upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
