2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

PAULOS, apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the will of Aloha; and Timotheos a brother: to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, and to all the saints who are in all Akaia.

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be with you and peace, from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

Blessed be Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation, who consoleth us in all our afflictions,

4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

that we may be able to console those who are in all afflictions by that consolation by which we are consoled of Aloha.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

For as the sufferings of the Meshiha abound in us, so, through the Meshiha, our consolation aboundeth also.

6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

But if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and for your salvation that we be afflicted: and if we are consoled, it is that you may be consoled, that there may be in you perseverance to endure those sufferings which we also suffer.

7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

And our hope concerning you is steadfast: for we know that if you participate in the sufferings, you also participate in the consolation.

8 For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

FOR I would have you to know, my brethren, of the affliction that befell us in Asia: for we were greatly pressed beyond our strength, until our life was nigh to be dissolved,

9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

and because of these we had concluded (for) death; that we should not have hope in ourselves, but in Aloha, who raiseth the dead:

10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,

who from deaths of violence delivered us, and who will again, we trust, deliver us,

11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

through the help of your prayers for us; that his gift towards us may be a benefit effected for many, and many may praise him on our behalf.

12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and purity, and by the grace of Aloha, we are conversant in the world; and not with the wisdom of the flesh, and especially with you yourselves.

13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—

For we write no other (things) to you than those which you know and acknowledge, and which I am confident you will acknowledge unto the end:

14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

even as you have in part acknowledged that we are your glorying, as you also are ours in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

And in this confidence I have willed from the first to come to you, that doubly you may receive benefit,

16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

and that I may pass by you to Makedunia, and again from Makedunia I may come to you, and you may lead me forth unto Jihud.

17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

This then that I have purposed, have I purposed boastingly? or are they things of the flesh that I purpose, that I should have in them Yes, yes, or No, no?

18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

Faithful is Aloha that our word with you was not Yes and No.

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

For the Son of Aloha, Jeshu Meshiha, who by us hath been preached unto you, by me and by Sylvanas and by Timotheos, was not Yes and No, but it was Yes in him.

20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

For all the promises of Aloha in him, in the Meshiha, are Yes; for which by him we give Amen to the glory of Aloha.

21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

But Aloha himself confirmeth us with you in the Meshiha, who himself hath anointed us,

22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

and hath sealed us, and given us the earnest-pledge of his Spirit in our hearts.

23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.

BUT I testify to Aloha on my soul that because I am sparing of you, I have not come to Kurinthos.

24 We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

Not because we are lords of your faith, but are helpers of your joy; for by faith you stand.
