2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all 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 [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

3 Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the 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 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 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 in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

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

6 And 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.

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 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation.

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 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:

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 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth 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 from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us];

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

11 Ye 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.

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 rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

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 none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even 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 ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also [are] ours in the day of the 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 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye 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 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.

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 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?

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] true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

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, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

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 all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by 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 which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God;

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

22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

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

23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

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

24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

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