Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, the brother, to the congregation of God which is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

2 asmAkaM tAtasyEzvarasya prabhOryIzukhrISTasya cAnugrahaH zAntizca yuSmAsu varttatAM|

Favor to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 kRpAluH pitA sarvvasAntvanAkArIzvarazca yO'smatprabhOryIzukhrISTasya tAta IzvaraH sa dhanyO bhavatu|

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies, and the God of all consolation!

4 yatO vayam IzvarAt sAntvanAM prApya tayA sAntvanayA yat sarvvavidhakliSTAn lOkAn sAntvayituM zaknuyAma tadarthaM sO'smAkaM sarvvaklEzasamayE'smAn sAntvayati|

who comforts us in all out affliction, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any affliction, by the consolation with which they are comforted of God.

5 yataH khrISTasya klEzA yadvad bAhulyEnAsmAsu varttantE tadvad vayaM khrISTEna bahusAntvanAPhyA api bhavAmaH|

For as the sufferings for Christ abound in us, also, our consolation abounds through Christ.

6 vayaM yadi klizyAmahE tarhi yuSmAkaM sAntvanAparitrANayOH kRtE klizyAmahE yatO'smAbhi ryAdRzAni duHkhAni sahyantE yuSmAkaM tAdRzaduHkhAnAM sahanEna tau sAdhayiSyEtE ityasmin yuSmAnadhi mama dRPhA pratyAzA bhavati|

Now, whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort, and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effected by enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer.

7 yadi vA vayaM sAntvanAM labhAmahE tarhi yuSmAkaM sAntvanAparitrANayOH kRtE tAmapi labhAmahE| yatO yUyaM yAdRg duHkhAnAM bhAginO'bhavata tAdRk sAntvanAyA api bhAginO bhaviSyathEti vayaM jAnImaH|

And out hope of you is steadfast, knowing that, as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the comfort.

8 hE bhrAtaraH, AziyAdEzE yaH klEzO'smAn AkrAmyat taM yUyaM yad anavagatAstiSThata tanmayA bhadraM na manyatE| tEnAtizaktiklEzEna vayamatIva pIPitAstasmAt jIvanarakSaNE nirupAyA jAtAzca,

Wherefore, brethren, we would not have you ignorant concerning our affliction, which happened to us in Asia; that we were exceedingly pressed above our strength, insomuch as we despaired even of life.

9 atO vayaM svESu na vizvasya mRtalOkAnAm utthApayitarIzvarE yad vizvAsaM kurmmastadartham asmAbhiH prANadaNPO bhOktavya iti svamanasi nizcitaM|

Nay, more, we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead;

10 EtAdRzabhayagkarAt mRtyO ryO 'smAn atrAyatEdAnImapi trAyatE sa itaH paramapyasmAn trAsyatE 'smAkam EtAdRzI pratyAzA vidyatE|

who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

11 EtadarthamasmatkRtE prArthanayA vayaM yuSmAbhirupakarttavyAstathA kRtE bahubhi ryAcitO yO'nugrahO'smAsu varttiSyatE tatkRtE bahubhirIzvarasya dhanyavAdO'pi kAriSyatE|

you, also, laboring together in prayer for us, that the gift to us from many persons, may, by many, be acknowledged with thanksgiving for us.

12 aparanjca saMsAramadhyE vizESatO yuSmanmadhyE vayaM sAMsArikyA dhiyA nahi kintvIzvarasyAnugrahENAkuTilatAm IzvarIyasAralyanjcAcaritavantO'trAsmAkaM manO yat pramANaM dadAti tEna vayaM zlAghAmahE|

For this is our glorying--the testimony of our conscience, that with godly simplicity and sincerity, (not with fleshly wisdom, but by the favor of God, ) we have behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly among you.

13 yuSmAbhi ryad yat paThyatE gRhyatE ca tadanyat kimapi yuSmabhyam asmAbhi rna likhyatE taccAntaM yAvad yuSmAbhi rgrahISyata ityasmAkam AzA|

For we write no other things to you than what you read, and also acknowledge; and I hope that you will acknowledge, even to the end;

14 yUyamitaH pUrvvamapyasmAn aMzatO gRhItavantaH, yataH prabhO ryIzukhrISTasya dinE yadvad yuSmAsvasmAkaM zlAghA tadvad asmAsu yuSmAkamapi zlAghA bhaviSyati|

seeing, indeed, you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

15 aparaM yUyaM yad dvitIyaM varaM labhadhvE tadarthamitaH pUrvvaM tayA pratyAzayA yuSmatsamIpaM gamiSyAmi

And in this persuasions I purposed to come to you first, that you might have a second gift;

16 yuSmaddEzEna mAkidaniyAdEzaM vrajitvA punastasmAt mAkidaniyAdEzAt yuSmatsamIpam Etya yuSmAbhi ryihUdAdEzaM prESayiSyE cEti mama vAnjchAsIt|

and from you to pass through into Macedonia, and from Macedonia to come again to you, and by you to be sent forward into Judea.

17 EtAdRzI mantraNA mayA kiM cAnjcalyEna kRtA? yad yad ahaM mantrayE tat kiM viSayilOkaiva mantrayANa Adau svIkRtya pazcAd asvIkurvvE?

Having, then, purposed this, did I, indeed, use levity? or the things which I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh; so that with me there should be yes, yes, and no, no?

18 yuSmAn prati mayA kathitAni vAkyAnyagrE svIkRtAni zESE'svIkRtAni nAbhavan EtEnEzvarasya vizvastatA prakAzatE|

But as God is faithful, certainly our word, which was to you, was not yes and no.

19 mayA silvAnEna timathinA cEzvarasya putrO yO yIzukhrISTO yuSmanmadhyE ghOSitaH sa tEna svIkRtaH punarasvIkRtazca tannahi kintu sa tasya svIkArasvarUpaEva|

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, even by me and Sylvanus, and Timothy, was not yes and no; but in him was yes.

20 Izvarasya mahimA yad asmAbhiH prakAzEta tadartham IzvarENa yad yat pratijnjAtaM tatsarvvaM khrISTEna svIkRtaM satyIbhUtanjca|

And whatever promises are of God, were through him yes, and through him amen, to the glory of God, by us.

21 yuSmAn asmAMzcAbhiSicya yaH khrISTE sthAsnUn karOti sa Izvara Eva|

Now, he who establishes us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, in God:

22 sa cAsmAn mudrAgkitAn akArSIt satyAgkArasya paNakharUpam AtmAnaM asmAkam antaHkaraNESu nirakSipacca|

who has also sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 aparaM yuSmAsu karuNAM kurvvan aham EtAvatkAlaM yAvat karinthanagaraM na gatavAn iti satyamEtasmin IzvaraM sAkSiNaM kRtvA mayA svaprANAnAM zapathaH kriyatE|

Moreover, I call on God as a witness against my soul, that to spare you, I have not as yet come to Corinth.

24 vayaM yuSmAkaM vizvAsasya niyantArO na bhavAmaH kintu yuSmAkam Anandasya sahAyA bhavAmaH, yasmAd vizvAsE yuSmAkaM sthiti rbhavati|

Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are joint promoters of your joy: for by the faith you stand.
