2 Corinthians 1

1
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth with all the saints who are throughout Achaia:
2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4
who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5
For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.
6
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;
7
and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort.
8
For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;
9
indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;
10
who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,
11
you also joining in helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.
12
For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.
13
For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;
14
just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15
In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;
16
that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.
17
Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?
18
But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.
19
For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by usby me and Silvanus and Timothywas not yes and no, but is yes in Him.
20
For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.
21
Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
22
who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
23
But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.
24
Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm. 2

2 Corinthians 2

1
But I determined this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.
2
For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful?
3
This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.
4
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.
5
But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree in order not to say too muchto all of you.
6
Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,
7
so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
8
Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
9
For to this end also I wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.
10
But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
11
so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
12
Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,
13
I had no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went on to Macedonia.
14
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
15
For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;
16
to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?
17
For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God. 3

2 Corinthians 3

1
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
2
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
3
being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4
Such confidence we have through Christ toward God.
5
Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,
6
who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7
But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,
8
how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?
9
For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.
10
For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.
11
For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
12
Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech,
13
and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.
14
But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.
15
But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart;
16
but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. 4
