1Paul, an apostle of YAHUSHUA the Messiah by the will of יהוה, and Timothy our brother, unto the assembly of יהוה which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: 2Favour be to you and peace from יהוה our Father, and from the Master YAHUSHUA the Messiah. 3Blessed be יהוה, even the Father of our Master YAHUSHUA the Messiah, the Father of mercies, and the Elohim of all comfort; 4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of Elohim. 5For as the sufferings of the Messiah abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by the Messiah. 6And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 8For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in יהוה which raiseth the dead: 10Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; 11Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. 12For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and purity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the favour of יהוה, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 13For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 14As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Master YAHUSHUA. 15And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit; 16And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea. 17When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? 18But as יהוה is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. 19For the Son of יהוה, YAHUSHUA the Messiah, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 20For all the promises of יהוה in him are yea, and in him amein, unto the glory of יהוה by us. 21Now he which stablisheth us with you in the Messiah, and hath anointed us, is יהוה; 22Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 23Moreover I call יהוה for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. 24Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
