| 1:1 | Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia: |
| 1:2 | Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, |
| 1:4 | who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. |
| 1:5 | Because, as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ. |
| 1:6 | Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. |
| 1:7 | And our hope for you is unshaken, because, we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will also be of the consolation. |
| 1:8 | Because, we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. |
| 1:9 | But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, |
| 1:10 | who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver, |
| 1:11 | you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by the means of many people on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many. |
| 1:12 | Because our rejoicing is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you. |
| 1:13 | Because, we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or acknowledge, and I trust you will acknowledge, even to the end; |
| 1:14 | as also you have acknowledged us partially, that we are your rejoicing, just as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus. |
| 1:15 | And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit; |
| 1:16 | to visit you on the way to Macedonia, to return again from Macedonia to you, and be brought on my way toward Judea. |
| 1:17 | Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? |
| 1:18 | But as God is true, our word to you was not Yes and No. |
| 1:19 | Because, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. |
| 1:20 | Because, all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God by us. |
| 1:21 | Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, |
| 1:22 | who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. |
| 1:23 | Moreover I call God to record against my soul, that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth. |
| 1:24 | Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers for your joy; because by faith you stand. |
| 1:1 | Pavl an Apostle of JESVS Christ, by the will of God, and our brother Timotheus, to the Church of God, which is at Corinthus with all the Saints, which are in all Achaia: |
| 1:2 | Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | Blessed be God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, |
| 1:4 | Which comforteth vs in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any affliction by the comfort wherewith we our selues are comforted of God. |
| 1:5 | For as the sufferings of Christ abounde in vs, so our consolation aboundeth through Christ. |
| 1:6 | And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and saluation, which is wrought in the induring of the same sufferings, which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and saluation. |
| 1:7 | And our hope is stedfast concerning you, in as much as we know that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. |
| 1:8 | For brethren, we woulde not haue you ignorant of our affliction, which came vnto vs in Asia, howe we were pressed out of measure passing strength, so that we altogether doubted, euen of life. |
| 1:9 | Yea, we receiued the sentence of death in our selues, because we shoulde not trust in our selues, but in God, which rayseth the dead. |
| 1:10 | Who deliuered vs from so great a death, and doeth deliuer vs: in whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliuer vs, |
| 1:11 | So that ye labour together in prayer for vs, that for the gift bestowed vpon vs for many, thankes may be giuen by many persons for vs. |
| 1:12 | For our reioycing is this, the testimonie of our conscience, that in simplicitie and godly purenesse, and not in fleshly wisedome, but by the grace of God wee haue had our conuersation in the worlde, and most of all to you wardes. |
| 1:13 | For wee write none other thinges vnto you, then that ye reade or els that ye acknowledge, and I trust ye shall acknowledge vnto ye end. |
| 1:14 | Euen as ye haue acknowledged vs partly, that we are your reioycing, euen as ye are ours, in the day of our Lord Iesus. |
| 1:15 | And in this confidence was I minded first to come vnto you, that ye might haue had a double grace, |
| 1:16 | And to passe by you into Macedonia, and to come againe out of Macedonia vnto you, and to be led foorth towarde Iudea of you. |
| 1:17 | When I therefore was thus minded, did I vse lightnesse? or minde I those thinges which I minde, according to the flesh, that with me should be, Yea, yea, and Nay, nay? |
| 1:18 | Yea, God is faithfull, that our worde towarde you was not Yea, and Nay. |
| 1:19 | For the Sonne of God Iesus Christ, who was preached among you by vs, that is, by me, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, was not Yea, and Nay: but in him it was Yea. |
| 1:20 | For all the promises of God in him are Yea, and are in him Amen, vnto the glorie of God through vs. |
| 1:21 | And it is God which stablisheth vs with you in Christ, and hath anoynted vs. |
| 1:22 | Who hath also sealed vs, and hath giuen the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. |
| 1:23 | Nowe, I call God for a recorde vnto my soule, that to spare you, I came not as yet vnto Corinthus. |
| 1:24 | Not that wee haue dominion ouer your faith, but wee are helpers of your ioy: for by faith yee stande. |

| 1:3 | Blessed be God ye father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ the father of mercy and the God of all comforte |
| 1:4 | which comforteth vs in all oure tribulacio in so moche yt we are able to coforte them which are troubled in whatsoever tribulacion it be with the same comforte wher with we oure selves are coforted of God. |
| 1:5 | For as ye affliccios of Christ are pleteous in vs eve so is oure consolacio plenteous by Christ. |
| 1:6 | Whether we be troubled for youre consolacion and salvacio which salvacion sheweth her power in yt ye soffre ye same affliccios which we also suffre: or whether we be coforted for youre consolacion and salvacion: |
| 1:7 | yet oure hope is stedfast for you in as moch as we know how that as ye have youre parte in affliccios so shall ye be parttakers of consolacion. |
| 1:8 | Brethren I wolde not have you ignoraut of oure trouble which happened vnto vs in Asia. For we were greved out of measure passynge strength so greatly that we despeared even of lyfe. |
| 1:9 | Also we receaved an answer of deeth in oure selves and that because we shuld not put oure trust in oure selves: but in God which rayseth the deed to lyfe agayne |
| 1:10 | and which delivered vs from so gret a deeth and doth delivre. On whom we trust yt yet hereafter he will deliver |

| 1:16 | and to have passed by you into Macedonia and to have come agayne out of Macedonia vnto you and to have bene ledde forth to Iewrye warde of you. |
| 1:17 | When I thus wyse was mynded: dyd I vse lightnes? Or thinke I carnally those thinges which I thinke? that with me shuld be ye ye and naye naye. |
| 1:18 | God is faythfull: For oure preachynge vnto you was not ye and naye. |
