1 PaulG3972, an apostleG0652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 TimothyG5095 our brotherG0080, unto the churchG1577 of GodG2316 which isG5607 atG1722 CorinthG2882, withG4862 allG3956 the saintsG0040 which areG5607 inG1722 allG3650 AchaiaG0882: 2GraceG5485 be to youG5213 andG2532 peaceG1515 fromG0575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 3BlessedG2128 be GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of merciesG3628, andG2532 the GodG2316 of allG3956 comfortG3874; 4WhoG3588 comfortethG3870 usG2248 inG1909 allG3956 ourG2257 tribulationG2347, that weG2248 may be ableG1410 toG1519 comfortG3870 themG3588 which areG3739 inG1722 anyG3956 troubleG2347, byG1223 the comfort wherewithG3874 we ourselvesG0846 are comfortedG3870 ofG5259 GodG2316. 5ForG3754 asG2531 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547 aboundG4052 inG1519 usG2248, soG3779 ourG2257 consolationG3874 alsoG2532 aboundethG4052 byG1223 ChristG5547. 6AndG1161 whetherG1535 we be afflictedG2346, it is forG5228 yourG5216 consolationG3874 andG2532 salvationG4991, whichG3588 is effectualG1754 inG1722 the enduringG5281 of the sameG0846 sufferingsG3804 whichG3739 weG2249 alsoG2532 sufferG3958: or whetherG1535 we be comfortedG3870, it is forG5228 yourG5216 consolationG3874 andG2532 salvationG4991. 7And our hope of you is stedfast, knowingG1492, thatG3754 asG5618 ye areG2075 partakersG2844 of the sufferingsG3804, soG3779 shall ye be alsoG2532 of the consolationG3874. 8ForG1063 we wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG0080, haveG0050 youG5209 ignorantG0050 ofG5228 ourG2257 troubleG2347 which cameG1096 to usG2254 inG1722 AsiaG0773, thatG3754 we were pressedG0916 outG2596 of measureG5236, aboveG5228 strengthG1411, insomuch thatG5620 weG2248 despairedG1820 evenG2532 of lifeG2198: 9ButG0235 weG0846 hadG2192 the sentenceG0610 of deathG2288 inG1722 ourselvesG1438, thatG2443 we shouldG5600 notG3361 trustG3982 inG1909 ourselvesG1438, butG0235 inG1909 GodG2316 whichG3588 raisethG1453 the deadG3498: 10WhoG3739 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG1537 so greatG5082 a deathG2288, andG2532 doth deliverG4506: inG1519 whomG3739 we trustG1679 thatG3754 he willG4506 yetG2089 deliverG4506 us ; 11YeG5216 alsoG2532 helping togetherG4943 by prayerG1162 forG5228 usG2257, thatG2443 for the giftG5486 bestowed uponG1519 usG2248 by the means ofG1537 manyG4183 personsG4383 thanks may be givenG2168 byG1223 manyG4183 onG5228 our behalfG2257.

12ForG1063 ourG2257 rejoicingG2746 isG2076 thisG3778, the testimonyG3142 of ourG2257 conscienceG4893, thatG3754 inG1722 simplicityG0572 andG2532 godlyG2316 sincerityG1505, notG3756 withG1722 fleshlyG4559 wisdomG4678, butG0235 byG1722 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, we have had our conversationG0390 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG1161 more abundantlyG4056 toG4314 you-wardG5209. 13ForG1063 we writeG1125 noneG3756 other thingsG0243 unto youG5213, thanG0235 whatG3739 ye readG0314 orG2228 acknowledgeG1921; andG1161 I trustG1679 ye shall acknowledgeG1921 evenG2532 toG2193 the endG5056; 14AsG2531 alsoG2532 ye have acknowledgedG1921 usG2248 inG0575 partG3313, thatG3754 we areG2070 yourG5216 rejoicingG2745, even asG2509 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are oursG2257 inG1722 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.

15AndG2532 in thisG3778 confidenceG4006 I was mindedG1014 to comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209 beforeG4386, thatG2443 ye might haveG2192 a secondG1208 benefitG5485; 16AndG2532 to passG1330 byG1223 youG5216 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109, andG2532 to comeG2064 againG3825 out ofG0575 MacedoniaG3109 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 ofG5259 youG5216 to be brought on my wayG4311 towardG1519 JudaeaG2449. 17When I thereforeG3767 wasG1011 thusG5124 mindedG1011, didG3361 I useG5530 lightnessG1644? orG2228 the thingsG3739 that I purposeG1011, do I purposeG1011 according toG2596 the fleshG4561, thatG2443 withG3844 meG1698 there should beG5600 yeaG3483 yeaG3483, andG2532 nayG3756 nayG3756? 18ButG1161 as GodG2316 is trueG4103, ourG2257 wordG3056 towardG4314 youG5209 wasG1096 notG3756 yeaG3483 andG2532 nayG3756. 19ForG1063 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 was preachedG2784 amongG1722 youG5213 byG1223 usG2257, even byG1223 meG1700 andG2532 SilvanusG4610 andG2532 TimotheusG5095, wasG1096 notG3756 yeaG3483 andG2532 nayG3756, butG0235 inG1722 himG0846 wasG1096 yeaG3483. 20ForG1063 allG3745 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG0846 are yeaG3483, andG2532 inG1722 himG0846 AmenG0281, untoG4314 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 byG1223 usG2257. 21NowG1161 he whichG3588 stablishethG0950 usG2248 withG4862 youG5213 inG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 hath anointedG5548 usG2248, is GodG2316; 22WhoG3588 hathG4972 alsoG2532 sealedG4972 usG2248, andG2532 givenG1325 the earnestG0728 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588. 23MoreoverG1161 IG1473 callG1941 GodG2316 for a recordG3144 uponG1909 myG1699 soulG5590, thatG3754 to spareG5339 youG5216 I cameG2064 not as yetG3765 untoG1519 CorinthG2882. 24NotG3756 for thatG3754 we have dominionG2961 over yourG5216 faithG4102, butG0235 areG2070 helpersG4904 of yourG5216 joyG5479: forG1063 by faithG4102 ye standG2476.

1ButG1161 I determinedG2919 thisG5124 with myselfG1683, that I wouldG2064 notG3361 comeG2064 againG3825 toG4314 youG5209 inG1722 heavinessG3077. 2ForG1063 ifG1487 IG1473 makeG3076 youG5209 sorryG3076, whoG5101 isG2076 heG3588 thenG2532 that makethG2165 meG3165 gladG2165, butG1487 the same whichG3588 is made sorryG3076 byG1537 meG1700? 3AndG2532 I wroteG1125 thisG5124 sameG0846 unto youG5213, lestG2443, when I cameG2064, I should haveG2192 sorrowG3077 fromG0575 them of whomG3739 IG3165 oughtG1163 to rejoiceG5463; having confidenceG3982 inG1909 youG5209 allG3956, thatG3754 myG1699 joyG5479 isG2076 the joy of youG5216 allG3956. 4ForG1063 out ofG1537 muchG4183 afflictionG2347 andG2532 anguishG4928 of heartG2588 I wroteG1125 unto youG5213 withG1223 manyG4183 tearsG1144; notG3756 thatG2443 ye should be grievedG3076, butG0235 thatG2443 ye might knowG1097 the loveG0026 whichG3739 I haveG2192 more abundantlyG4056 untoG1519 youG5209. 5ButG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 have caused griefG3076, he hathG3076 notG3756 grievedG3076 meG1691, butG0235 inG0575 partG3313: thatG2443 I mayG1912 notG3361 overchargeG1912 youG5209 allG3956. 6SufficientG2425 to such a manG5108 is thisG3778 punishmentG2009, whichG3588 was inflicted ofG5259 manyG4119. 7So thatG5620 contrariwiseG5121 yeG5209 ought ratherG3123 to forgiveG5483 him , andG2532 comfortG3870 him , lest perhapsG3381 such a oneG5108 should be swallowed upG2666 with overmuchG4053 sorrowG3077. 8WhereforeG1352 I beseechG3870 youG5209 that ye would confirmG2964 your loveG0026 towardG1519 himG0846. 9ForG1063 toG1519 this endG5124 alsoG2532 did I writeG1125, thatG2443 I might knowG1097 the proofG1382 of youG5216, whetherG1487 ye beG2075 obedientG5255 inG1519 all thingsG3956. 10To whomG3739 ye forgiveG5483 any thingG5100, IG1473 forgive alsoG2532: forG1063 ifG1487 IG1473 forgaveG5483 any thingG5100, to whomG3739 I forgaveG5483 it , forG1223 your sakesG5209 forgave I it inG1722 the personG4383 of ChristG5547; 11LestG2443 SatanG4567 should get an advantageG4122 ofG5259 us: forG1063 we areG0050 notG3756 ignorantG0050 of hisG0846 devicesG3540. 12FurthermoreG1161, when I cameG2064 toG1519 TroasG5174 toG1519 preach ChristsG5547 gospelG2098, andG2532 a doorG2374 was openedG0455 unto meG3427 ofG1722 the LordG2962, 13I hadG2192 noG3756 restG0425 inG4151 myG3450 spiritG4151, because IG3165 foundG2147 notG3361 TitusG5103 myG3450 brotherG0080: butG0235 taking my leaveG0657 of themG0846, I went from thenceG1831 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109. 14NowG1161 thanksG5485 be unto GodG2316, which alwaysG3842 causethG2358 usG2248 to triumph inG1722 ChristG5547, andG2532 maketh manifestG5319 the savourG3744 of hisG0846 knowledgeG1108 byG1223 usG2257 inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117. 15ForG3754 we areG2070 unto GodG2316 a sweet savourG2175 of ChristG5547, inG1722 them thatG3588 are savedG4982, andG2532 inG1722 them thatG3588 perishG0622: 16To the oneG3739 we are the savourG3744 of deathG2288 untoG1519 deathG2288; andG1161 to the otherG3739 the savourG3744 of lifeG2222 untoG1519 lifeG2222. AndG2532 whoG5101 is sufficientG2425 forG4314 these thingsG5023? 17ForG1063 we areG2070 notG3756 asG5613 manyG4183, which corruptG2585 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: butG0235 asG5613 ofG1537 sincerityG1505, butG0235 asG5613 ofG1537 GodG2316, in the sightG2714 of GodG2316 speak weG2980 inG1722 ChristG5547.

2 Corinthians: Chapter 3


1Do we beginG0756 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselvesG1438? orG1487 need weG5535, asG5613 someG5100 others , epistlesG1992 of commendationG4956 toG4314 youG5209, orG2228 letters ofG1537 commendationG4956 from youG5216? 2YeG5210 areG2075 ourG2257 epistleG1992 writtenG1449 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, knownG1097 andG2532 readG0314 ofG5259 allG3956 menG0444: 3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestlyG5319 declaredG3754 to beG2075 the epistleG1992 of ChristG5547 ministeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257, writtenG1449 notG3756 with inkG3188, butG0235 with the SpiritG4151 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; notG3756 inG1722 tablesG4109 of stoneG3035, butG0235 inG1722 fleshyG4560 tablesG4109 of the heartG2588.

4AndG1161 suchG5108 trustG4006 have weG2192 throughG1223 ChristG5547 toG4314 God-wardG2316: 5NotG3756 thatG3754 we areG2070 sufficientG2425 ofG0575 ourselvesG1438 to thinkG3049 any thingG5100 asG5613 ofG1537 ourselvesG1438; butG0235 ourG2257 sufficiencyG2426 is ofG1537 GodG2316; 6WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 able ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG0235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG0615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. 7ButG1161 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of deathG2288, writtenG1121 and engravenG1795 inG1722 stonesG3037, wasG1096 gloriousG1391, so thatG5620 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG1410 notG3361 stedfastly beholdG0816 the faceG4383 of MosesG3475 forG1223 the gloryG1391 of hisG0846 countenanceG4383; whichG3588 glory was to be done awayG2673: 8HowG4459 shallG2071 notG3780 the ministrationG1248 of the spiritG4151 beG2071 ratherG3123 gloriousG1391? 9ForG1063 ifG1487 the ministrationG1248 of condemnationG2633 be gloryG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 dothG4052 the ministrationG1248 of righteousnessG1343 exceedG4052 inG1722 gloryG1391. 10ForG1063 evenG2532 that whichG3588 was made gloriousG1392 hadG1392 noG3761 gloryG1392 inG1722 thisG5129 respectG3313, by reason ofG1752 the gloryG1391 thatG3588 excellethG5235. 11ForG1063 ifG1487 that whichG3588 is done awayG2673 was gloriousG1391, muchG4183 moreG3123 that whichG3588 remainethG3306 is gloriousG1391. 12Seeing thenG3767 that we haveG2192 suchG5108 hopeG1680, we useG5530 greatG4183 plainness of speechG3954: 13AndG2532 notG3756 asG2509 MosesG3475, which putG5087 a vailG2571 overG1909 hisG1438 faceG4383, thatG4314 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 couldG0816 notG3361 stedfastly lookG0816 toG1519 the endG5056 of that whichG3588 is abolishedG2673: 14ButG0235 theirG0846 mindsG3540 were blindedG4456: forG1063 untilG0891 this dayG4594 remainethG3306 the sameG0846 vailG2571 untaken awayG0343 inG1909 the readingG0320 of the oldG3820 testamentG1242; whichG3739 vail is done awayG2673 inG1722 ChristG5547. 15ButG0235 even untoG2193 this dayG4594, whenG2259 MosesG3475 is readG0314, the vailG2571 isG2749 uponG1909 theirG0846 heartG2588. 16NeverthelessG1161 whenG2259 it shall turnG1994 toG4314 the LordG2962, the vailG2571 shall be taken awayG4014. 17NowG1161 the LordG2962 isG2076 that SpiritG4151: andG1161 whereG3757 the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 is , thereG1563 is libertyG1657. 18ButG1161 weG2249 allG3956, withG4383 openG0343 faceG4383 beholding as in a glassG2734 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, are changedG3339 into the sameG0846 imageG1504 fromG0575 gloryG1391 toG1519 gloryG1391, even asG2509 by the SpiritG4151 ofG0575 the LordG2962.

1ThereforeG5124 seeingG1223 we haveG2192 thisG3778 ministryG1248, asG2531 we have received mercyG1653, we faintG1573 notG3756; 2ButG0235 have renouncedG0550 the hidden thingsG2927 of dishonestyG0152, notG3361 walkingG4043 inG1722 craftinessG3834, norG3366 handlingG1389 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 deceitfullyG1389; butG0235 by manifestationG5321 of the truthG0225 commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 toG4314 everyG3956 mansG0444 conscienceG4893 in the sight ofG1799 GodG2316. 3ButG1161 ifG1487 ourG2257 gospelG2098 be hidG2572, it isG2076 hidG2572 toG1722 themG3588 that areG2076 lostG0622: 4InG1722 whomG3739 the godG2316 of thisG5127 worldG0165 hath blindedG5186 the mindsG3540 of them which believe notG0571, lestG3361 the lightG5462 of the gloriousG1391 gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 isG2076 the imageG1504 of GodG2316, should shineG0826 unto themG0846. 5ForG1063 we preachG2784 notG3756 ourselvesG1438, butG0235 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962; andG1161 ourselvesG1438 yourG5216 servantsG1401 forG1223 JesussakeG2424. 6ForG3754 GodG2316, whoG3739 commandedG2036 the lightG5457 to shineG2989 out ofG1537 darknessG4655, hath shinedG2989 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, toG4314 give the lightG5462 of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 inG1722 the faceG4383 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

7ButG1161 we haveG2192 thisG5126 treasureG2344 inG1722 earthenG3749 vesselsG4632, thatG2443 the excellencyG5236 of the powerG1411 may beG5600 of GodG2316, andG2532 notG3361 ofG1537 usG2257. 8 We are troubledG2346 onG1722 every sideG3956, yetG0235 notG3756 distressedG4729; we are perplexedG0639, butG0235 notG3756 in despairG1820; 9PersecutedG1377, butG0235 notG3756 forsakenG1459; cast downG2598, butG0235 notG3756 destroyedG0622; 10AlwaysG3842 bearing aboutG4064 inG1722 the bodyG4983 the dyingG3500 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, thatG2443 the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 might be made manifestG5319 inG1722 ourG2257 bodyG4983. 11ForG1063 weG2249 which liveG2198 are alwayG0104 deliveredG3860 untoG1519 deathG2288 forG1223 JesussakeG2424, thatG2443 the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 might be made manifestG5319 inG1722 ourG2257 mortalG2349 fleshG4561. 12So thenG5620 deathG2288 workethG1754 inG1722 usG2254, butG1161 lifeG2222 inG1722 youG5213. 13WeG2249 havingG2192 the sameG0846 spiritG4151 of faithG4102, according asG2596 it is writtenG1125, I believedG4100, and thereforeG1352 have I spokenG2980; weG4100 alsoG2532 believeG4100, andG2532 thereforeG1352 speakG2980; 14KnowingG1492 thatG3754 he whichG3588 raised upG1453 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 shall raise upG1453 usG2248 alsoG2532 byG1223 JesusG2424, andG2532 shall presentG3936 us withG4862 youG5213. 15ForG1063 all thingsG3956 are forG1223 your sakesG5209, thatG2443 the abundantG4121 graceG5485 mightG4052 throughG1223 the thanksgivingG2169 of manyG4119 redoundG4052 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316. 16For which causeG1352 we faintG1573 notG3756; butG0235 thoughG1487 ourG2257 outwardG1854 manG0444 perishG1311, yetG0235 the inwardG2081 man is renewedG0341 dayG2250 byG2532 dayG2250. 17ForG1063 ourG2257 lightG1645 afflictionG2347, which is but for a momentG3910, workethG2716 for usG2254 a farG5236 more exceedingG5236 and eternalG0166 weightG0922 of gloryG1391; 18While weG2257 lookG4648 notG3361 at the thingsG3588 which are seenG0991, butG0235 at the thingsG3588 which areG0991 notG3361 seenG0991: forG1063 the thingsG3588 which are seenG0991 are temporalG4340; butG1161 the thingsG3588 which areG0991 notG3361 seenG0991 are eternalG0166.

2 Corinthians: Chapter 5


1ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 ifG1437 ourG2257 earthlyG1919 houseG3614 ofG1537 this tabernacleG4636 were dissolvedG2647, we haveG2192 a buildingG3619 of GodG2316, an houseG3614 not made with handsG0886, eternalG0166 inG1722 the heavensG3772. 2ForG1063 inG1722 thisG5129 we groanG4727, earnestly desiringG1971 to be clothed uponG1902 with ourG2257 houseG3613 which is fromG1537 heavenG3772: 3IfG1489 so be thatG2532 being clothedG1746 we shallG2147 notG3756 be foundG2147 nakedG1131. 4ForG1063 we that areG5607 inG1722 this tabernacleG4636 do groanG4727, being burdenedG0916: notG2309 forG1894 thatG3756 we wouldG1562 be unclothedG0235, butG1902 clothedG2443 upon, thatG2666 mortalityG5259 might be swallowed upG2222 of lifeG2222. 5NowG1161 he thatG3588 hath wroughtG2716 usG2248 forG1519 the selfsameG0846 thingG5124 is GodG2316, whoG3588 alsoG2532 hath givenG1325 unto usG2254 the earnestG0728 of the SpiritG4151. 6ThereforeG3767 we are alwaysG3842 confidentG2292, knowingG1492 thatG3754, whilstG2532 we are at homeG1736 inG1722 the bodyG4983, we are absentG1553 fromG0575 the LordG2962: 7(ForG1063 we walkG4043 byG1223 faithG4102, notG3756 byG1223 sightG1491:) 8We are confidentG2292, I say , andG2532 willingG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 fromG1537 the bodyG4983, andG2532 to be presentG1736 withG4314 the LordG2962. 9WhereforeG1352 we labourG5389, thatG2532, whetherG1535 presentG1736 orG1535 absentG1553, we may beG1511 acceptedG2101 of himG0846. 10ForG1063 weG2248 mustG1163 allG3956 appearG5319 beforeG1715 the judgment seatG0968 of ChristG5547; thatG2443 every oneG1538 may receiveG2865 the thingsG3588 done inG1223 his bodyG4983, accordingG4314 to thatG3739 he hath doneG4238, whetherG1535 it be goodG0018 orG1535 badG2556.

11KnowingG1492 thereforeG3767 the terrorG5401 of the LordG2962, we persuadeG3982 menG0444; butG1161 we are made manifestG5319 unto GodG2316; andG1161 I trustG1679 alsoG2532 are made manifestG5319 inG1722 yourG5216 consciencesG4893. 12ForG1063 we commendG4921 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 againG3825 unto youG5213, butG0235 giveG1325 youG5213 occasionG0874 to gloryG2745 on ourG2257 behalfG5228, thatG2443 ye may haveG2192 somewhat toG4314 answer themG3588 which gloryG2744 inG1722 appearanceG4383, andG2532 notG3756 in heartG2588. 13ForG1063 whetherG1535 we be beside ourselvesG1839, it is to GodG2316: or whetherG1535 we be soberG4993, it is for your causeG5213. 14ForG1063 the loveG0026 of ChristG5547 constrainethG4912 usG2248; becauseG5124 we thus judgeG2919, thatG3754 ifG1487 oneG1520 diedG0599 forG5228 allG3956, thenG0686 wereG0599 allG3956 deadG0599: 15AndG2532 that he diedG0599 forG5228 allG3956, thatG2443 theyG3588 which liveG2198 shouldG2198 not henceforthG3371 liveG2198 unto themselvesG1438, butG0235 unto himG3588 which diedG0599 forG5228 themG0846, andG2532 rose againG1453. 16WhereforeG5620 henceforthG3568 knowG1492 weG2249 no manG3762 afterG2596 the fleshG4561: yeaG1161, thoughG1487 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, yetG0235 now henceforthG3568 know weG1097 him no moreG3765. 17ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 any manG5100 be inG1722 ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creatureG2937: old thingsG0744 are passed awayG3928; beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 are becomeG1096 newG2537. 18AndG1161 all thingsG3956 are ofG1537 GodG2316, whoG3588 hath reconciledG2644 usG2248 to himselfG1438 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 hath givenG1325 to usG2254 the ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643; 19To witG5613, thatG3754 GodG2316 wasG2258 inG1722 Christ, reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 unto himselfG1438, notG3361 imputingG3049 theirG0846 trespassesG3900 unto themG0846; andG2532 hath committedG5087 untoG1722 usG2254 the wordG3056 of reconciliationG2643. 20Now thenG3767 we are ambassadorsG4243 forG5228 ChristG5547, as thoughG5613 GodG2316 did beseechG3870 you byG1223 usG2257: we prayG1189 you inG5228 Christs steadG5547, be ye reconciledG2644 to GodG2316. 21ForG1063 he hath made himG4160 to be sinG0266 forG5228 usG2257, who knewG1097 noG3361 sinG0266; thatG2443 weG2249 might be madeG1096 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG0846.

11O ye CorinthiansG2881, ourG2257 mouthG4750 is openG0455 untoG4314 youG5209, ourG2257 heartG2588 is enlargedG4115. 12Ye areG4729 notG3756 straitenedG4729 inG1722 usG2254, butG1161 ye are straitenedG4729 inG1722 your ownG5216 bowelsG4698. 13NowG1161 for a recompenceG0489 in the sameG0846, (I speakG3004 as untoG5613 my childrenG5043,) beG4115 yeG5210 alsoG2532 enlargedG4115. 14Be yeG1096 notG3361 unequally yoked togetherG2086 with unbelieversG0571: forG1063 whatG5101 fellowshipG3352 hath righteousnessG1343 withG2532 unrighteousnessG0458? andG1161 whatG5101 communionG2842 hath lightG5457 withG4314 darknessG4655? 15AndG1161 whatG5101 concordG4857 hath ChristG5547 withG4314 BelialG0955? orG2228 whatG5101 partG3310 hath he that believethG4103 withG3326 an infidelG0571? 16AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG0846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them ; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG0846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG0846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992. 17WhereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG0846, andG2532 be ye separateG0873, saithG3004 the LordG2962, andG2532 touchG0680 notG3361 the uncleanG0169 thing ; and IG2504 will receiveG1523 youG5209, 18AndG2532 will beG2071 a FatherG3962 untoG1519 youG5213, andG2532 yeG5210 shall beG2071 myG3427 sonsG5207 andG2532 daughtersG2364, saithG3004 the LordG2962 AlmightyG3841.

1HavingG2192 thereforeG3767 theseG3778 promisesG1860, dearly belovedG0027, let us cleanseG2511 ourselvesG1438 fromG0575 allG3956 filthinessG3436 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 spiritG4151, perfectingG2005 holinessG0042 inG1722 the fearG5401 of GodG2316.

GodG2316 knowethG1492. 12ButG1161 whatG3739 I doG4160, that I will doG4160, thatG2443 I may cut offG1581 occasionG0874 from themG3588 which desireG2309 occasionG0874; thatG2443 whereinG3739 they gloryG2744, they may be foundG2147 evenG2532 asG2531 weG2249. 13ForG1063 suchG5108 are false apostlesG5570, deceitfulG1386 workersG2040, transforming themselvesG3345 intoG1519 the apostlesG0652 of ChristG5547. 14AndG2532 noG3756 marvelG2298; forG1063 SatanG4567 himselfG0846 is transformedG3345 intoG1519 an angelG0032 of lightG5457. 15ThereforeG3767 it is noG3756 great thingG3173 ifG1487 hisG0846 ministersG1249 alsoG2532 be transformedG3345 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of righteousnessG1343; whoseG3739 endG5056 shall beG2071 according toG2596 theirG0846 worksG2041.

16I sayG3004 againG3825, LetG1380 noG3361 manG5100 thinkG1380 meG3165 a foolG0878; ifG1487 otherwiseG1161, yetG2579 asG5613 a foolG0878 receiveG1209 meG3165, thatG2443 I may boast myselfG2744 a littleG3397. 17That whichG3739 I speakG2980, I speakG2980 it notG3756 afterG2596 the LordG2962, butG0235 as it wereG5613 foolishlyG0877, inG1722 thisG3778 confidenceG5287 of boastingG2746. 18Seeing thatG1893 manyG4183 gloryG2744 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, IG2504 will gloryG2744 alsoG2504. 19ForG1063 ye sufferG0430 foolsG0878 gladlyG2234, seeing yeG5607 yourselves are wiseG5429. 20ForG1063 ye sufferG0430, ifG1487 a manG5100 bringG2615 youG5209 into bondageG2615, ifG1487 a manG5100 devourG2719 you , ifG1487 a manG5100 takeG2983 of you , ifG1487 a manG5100 exalt himselfG1869, ifG1487 a manG5100 smiteG1194 youG5209 onG1519 the faceG4383. 21I speakG3004 as concerningG2596 reproachG0819, asG5613 thoughG3754 weG2249 had been weakG0770. HowbeitG1161 whereinsoeverG3739 anyG5100 is boldG5111, (I speakG3004 foolishlyG0877,) IG2504 am boldG5111 alsoG2504. 22Are theyG1526 HebrewsG1445? soG2504 am IG2504. Are theyG1526 IsraelitesG2475? soG2504 am IG2504. Are theyG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG0011? soG2504 am IG2504. 23Are theyG1526 ministersG1249 of ChristG5547? (IG1473 speakG2980 as a foolG3912) IG5228 am moreG5228; inG1722 laboursG2873 more abundantG4056, inG1722 stripesG4127 above measureG5234, inG1722 prisonsG5438 more frequentG4056, inG1722 deathsG2288 oftG4178. 24OfG5259 the JewsG2453 five timesG3999 received IG2983 fortyG5062 stripes saveG3844 oneG1520. 25ThriceG5151 was I beaten with rodsG4463, onceG0530 was I stonedG3034, thriceG5151 I suffered shipwreckG3489, a night and a dayG3574 I have beenG4160 inG1722 the deepG1037; 26 In journeyingsG3597 oftenG4178, in perilsG2794 of watersG4215, in perilsG2794 of robbersG3027, in perilsG2794 byG1537 mine own countrymenG1085, in perilsG2794 byG1537 the heathenG1484, in perilsG2794 inG1722 the cityG4172, in perilsG2794 inG1722 the wildernessG2047, in perilsG2794 inG1722 the seaG2281, in perilsG2794 amongG1722 false brethrenG5569; 27InG1722 wearinessG2873 andG2532 painfulnessG3449, inG1722 watchingsG0070 oftenG4178, inG1722 hungerG3042 andG2532 thirstG1373, inG1722 fastingsG3521 oftenG4178, inG1722 coldG5592 andG2532 nakednessG1132. 28BesideG5565 those things that are withoutG3924, that which comethG1999 upon meG3450 dailyG2250, the careG3308 of allG3956 the churchesG1577. 29WhoG5101 is weakG0770, andG2532 I amG0770 notG3756 weakG0770? whoG5101 is offendedG4624, andG2532 IG1473 burnG4448 notG3756? 30IfG1487 I must needsG1163 gloryG2744, I will gloryG2744 of the thingsG3588 which concern mineG3450 infirmitiesG0769. 31The GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, which isG5607 blessedG2128 forG1519 evermoreG0165, knowethG1492 thatG3754 I lieG5574 notG3756. 32InG1722 DamascusG1154 the governorG1481 under AretasG0702 the kingG0935 keptG5432 the cityG4172 of the DamascenesG1153 with a garrisonG5432, desirousG2309 to apprehendG4084 meG3165: 33AndG2532 throughG1223 a windowG2376 inG1722 a basketG4553 was I let downG5465 byG1223 the wallG5038, andG2532 escapedG1628 hisG0846 handsG5495.

2 Corinthians: Chapter 12


1It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 forG1063 meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG0602 of the LordG2962. 2I knewG1492 a manG0444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 years agoG2094, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, IG1492 cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 out ofG1622 the bodyG4983, IG1492 cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG0726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772. 3AndG2532 I knewG1492 suchG5108 a manG0444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 out ofG1622 the bodyG4983, IG1492 cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) 4How thatG3754 he was caught upG0726 intoG1519 paradiseG3857, andG2532 heardG0191 unspeakableG0731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for a manG0444 to utterG2980. 5OfG5228 such an oneG5108 will I gloryG2744: yetG1161 ofG5228 myselfG1683 I willG2744 notG3756 gloryG2744, butG1487 inG1722 mineG3450 infirmitiesG0769. 6ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309 to gloryG2744, I shallG2071 notG3756 beG2071 a foolG0878; forG1063 I will sayG2046 the truthG0225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339, lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049 ofG1519 meG1691 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG0991 meG3165 to be , orG2228 that he hearethG0191 ofG1537 meG1700. 7AndG2532 lestG2443 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG5236 of the revelationsG0602, there was givenG1325 to meG3427 a thornG4647 in the fleshG4561, the messengerG0032 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG3165, lestG2443 I should be exalted above measureG5229. 8ForG5228 this thingG5127 I besoughtG3870 the LordG2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG0868 fromG0575 meG1700. 9AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG0714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG0769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG0769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691. 10ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG0769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG0318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christs sakeG5547: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG0770, thenG5119 am IG1510 strongG1415.

11I am becomeG1096 a foolG0878 in gloryingG2744; yeG5210 have compelledG0315 meG3165: forG1063 IG1473 oughtG3784 to have been commendedG4921 ofG5259 youG5216: forG1063 in nothingG3762 am I behindG5302 the veryG5228 chiefestG3029 apostlesG0652, thoughG1487 I beG1510 nothingG3762. 12TrulyG3303 the signsG4592 of an apostleG0652 were wroughtG2716 amongG1722 youG5213 inG1722 allG3956 patienceG5281, inG1722 signsG4592, andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 mighty deedsG1411. 13ForG1063 whatG5101 isG2076 it whereinG3739 ye were inferiorG2274 toG5228 otherG3062 churchesG1577, exceptG1487 it be thatG3754 IG1473 myselfG0846 wasG2655 notG3756 burdensomeG2655 to youG5216? forgiveG5483 meG3427 thisG3778 wrongG0093. 14BeholdG2400, the third timeG5154 I amG2192 readyG2093 to comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209; andG2532 I willG2655 notG3756 be burdensomeG2655 to youG5216: forG1063 I seekG2212 notG3756 yoursG5216, butG0235 youG5209: forG1063 the childrenG5043 oughtG3784 notG3756 to lay upG2343 for the parentsG1118, butG0235 the parentsG1118 for the childrenG5043. 15AndG1161 IG1473 will very gladlyG2236 spendG1159 andG2532 be spentG1550 forG5228 youG5216; thoughG1487 the more abundantlyG4056 I loveG0025 youG5209, the lessG2276 I be lovedG0025. 16ButG1161 be it soG2077, IG1473 didG2599 notG3756 burdenG2599 youG5209: neverthelessG0235, beingG5225 craftyG3835, I caughtG2983 youG5209 with guileG1388. 17DidG3361 I make a gainG4122 ofG4314 youG5209 byG1223 anyG5100 of themG0846 whomG3739 I sentG0649 unto youG5209? 18I desiredG3870 TitusG5103, andG2532 withG4882 him I sentG4882 a brotherG0080. DidG3361 TitusG5103 make a gainG4122 of youG5209? walked weG4043 notG3756 in the sameG0846 spiritG4151? walked we notG3756 in the sameG0846 stepsG2487? 19AgainG3825, think yeG1380 thatG3754 we excuse ourselvesG0626 unto youG5213? we speakG2980 beforeG2714 GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547: butG1161 we do all thingsG3956, dearly belovedG0027, forG5228 yourG5216 edifyingG3619. 20ForG1063 I fearG5399, lestG3381, when I comeG2064, I shallG2147 notG3756 findG2147 youG5209 such asG3634 I wouldG2309, andG2504 that IG2504 shall be foundG2147 unto youG5213 such asG3634 ye wouldG2309 notG3756: lestG3381 there be debatesG2054, envyingsG2205, wrathsG2372, strifesG2052, backbitingsG2636, whisperingsG5587, swellingsG5450, tumultsG0181: 21 And lestG3361, when I comeG2064 againG3825, myG3450 GodG2316 will humbleG5013 meG3165 amongG4314 youG5209, andG2532 that I shall bewailG3996 manyG4183 whichG3588 have sinned alreadyG4258, andG2532 haveG3340 notG3361 repentedG3340 ofG1909 the uncleannessG0167 andG2532 fornicationG4202 andG2532 lasciviousnessG0766 whichG3739 they have committedG4238.

2 Corinthians: Chapter 13


1ThisG5124 is the thirdG5154 time I am comingG2064 toG4314 youG5209. InG1909 the mouthG4750 of twoG1417 orG2532 threeG5140 witnessesG3144 shallG2476 everyG3956 wordG4487 be establishedG2476. 2I told you beforeG4280, andG2532 foretell youG4302, as ifG5613 I were presentG3918, the second timeG1208; andG2532 being absentG0548 nowG3568 I writeG1125 to themG3588 which heretofore have sinnedG4258, andG2532 to allG3956 otherG3062, thatG3754, ifG1437 I comeG2064 againG3825, I willG5339 notG3756 spareG5339: 3SinceG1893 ye seekG2212 a proofG1382 of ChristG5547 speakingG2980 inG1722 meG1698, whichG3739 toG1519 you-wardG5209 isG0770 notG3756 weakG0770, butG0235 is mightyG1414 inG1722 youG5213. 4ForG1063 thoughG2532 he was crucifiedG4717 throughG1537 weaknessG0769, yetG0235 he livethG2198 byG1537 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. ForG1063 we alsoG2249 are weakG0770 inG0846 himG0235, butG2198 we shall liveG4862 withG0846 himG1537 byG1411 the powerG2316 of GodG1519 towardG5209 youG5209. 5ExamineG3985 yourselvesG1438, whetherG1487 ye beG2075 inG1722 the faithG4102; proveG1381 your own selvesG1438. Know yeG1921 notG3756 your own selvesG1438, how thatG3754 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 isG2076 inG1722 youG5213, exceptG1487 ye beG2075 reprobatesG0096? 6ButG1161 I trustG1679 thatG3754 ye shall knowG1097 thatG3754 weG2249 areG2070 notG3756 reprobatesG0096. 7NowG1161 I prayG2172 toG4314 GodG2316 thatG4160 yeG5209 doG4160 noG3367 evilG2556; notG3756 thatG2443 weG2249 should appearG5316 approvedG1384, butG0235 thatG2443 yeG5210 should doG4160 that whichG3588 is honestG2570, thoughG1161 weG2249 beG5600 asG5613 reprobatesG0096. 8ForG1063 we can doG1410 nothingG3756 againstG2596 the truthG0225, butG0235 forG5228 the truthG0225. 9ForG1063 weG2249 are gladG5463, whenG3752 we are weakG0770, andG1161 yeG5210 areG5600 strongG1415: andG1161 thisG5124 alsoG2532 we wishG2172, even yourG5216 perfectionG2676. 10ThereforeG1223 I writeG1125 these thingsG5023 beingG2443 absentG0548, lestG3361 being presentG3918 I should useG5530 sharpnessG0664, accordingG2596 to the powerG1849 whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 edificationG3619, andG2532 notG3756 toG1519 destructionG2506.

11FinallyG3063, brethrenG0080, farewellG5463. Be perfectG2675, be of good comfortG3870, beG5426 of oneG0846 mindG5426, live in peaceG1514; andG2532 the GodG2316 of loveG0026 andG2532 peaceG1515 shall beG2071 withG3326 youG5216. 12GreetG0782 one anotherG0240 withG1722 an holyG0040 kissG5370.

13AllG3956 the saintsG0040 saluteG0782 youG5209. 14The graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 the loveG0026 of GodG2316, andG2532 the communionG2842 of the HolyG0040 GhostG4151, be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG0281.
