00:00.780 --> 00:03.920
The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to
the Corinthians.

00:04.940 --> 00:05.860
Chapter 1.

00:07.080 --> 00:11.980
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the
will of God, and Timothy our brother,

00:12.280 --> 00:17.140
unto the church of God, which is at
Corinth, with all the saints, which are in

00:17.140 --> 00:17.940
all a care.

00:18.620 --> 00:23.360
Grace be to you, and peace from God our
Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:24.100 --> 00:28.880
Blessed be God, even the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies,

00:29.240 --> 00:30.820
and the God of all comfort.

00:31.620 --> 00:36.980
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation,
that we may be able to comfort them which

00:36.980 --> 00:41.600
are in any trouble, by the comfort
wherewith we ourselves are comforted of

00:41.600 --> 00:41.920
God.

00:42.780 --> 00:48.340
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in
us, so our consolation also aboundeth by

00:48.340 --> 00:48.700
Christ.

00:49.300 --> 00:53.380
And whether we be afflicted, it is for
your consolation and salvation,

00:53.640 --> 00:59.480
which is effectual in the enduring of the
same sufferings which we also suffer.

01:00.200 --> 01:04.360
Or whether we be comforted, it is for your
consolation and salvation.

01:05.020 --> 01:10.400
And our hope of you is steadfast,
knowing that as ye are partakers of the

01:10.400 --> 01:14.240
sufferings, so shall ye be also of the
consolation.

01:14.920 --> 01:19.300
For we would not, brethren, have you
ignorant of our trouble which came to us

01:19.300 --> 01:24.780
in Asia, that we were pressed out of
measure, above strength, insomuch that we

01:24.780 --> 01:26.520
despaired even of life.

01:27.200 --> 01:31.620
But we had the sentence of death in
ourselves, that we should not trust in

01:31.620 --> 01:37.980
ourselves, but in God which raiseth the
dead, who delivered us from so great a

01:37.980 --> 01:42.560
death, and doth deliver, in whom we trust,
that he will yet deliver us.

01:43.300 --> 01:48.620
Ye also help me together by prayer for us,
that for the gift bestowed upon us by the

01:48.620 --> 01:53.700
means of many persons, thanks may be given
by many on our behalf.

01:55.380 --> 02:01.260
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony
of our conscience, that in simplicity and

02:01.260 --> 02:07.000
godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom,
but by the grace of God, we have had our

02:07.000 --> 02:10.600
conversation in the world, and more
abundantly to youward.

02:11.400 --> 02:16.280
For we write none other things unto you,
than what ye read or acknowledge,

02:16.840 --> 02:19.740
and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to
the end.

02:20.460 --> 02:26.120
As also ye have acknowledged us in part,
that we are your rejoicing, even as ye

02:26.120 --> 02:29.260
also are ours in the day of the Lord
Jesus.

02:30.420 --> 02:35.640
And in this confidence I was minded to
come unto you before, that ye might have a

02:35.640 --> 02:41.080
second benefit, and to pass by you into
Macedonia, and to come again out of

02:41.080 --> 02:45.880
Macedonia unto you, and of you to be
brought on my way toward you, dear.

02:46.920 --> 02:51.640
When I therefore was thus minded,
did I use likeness, or the things that I

02:51.640 --> 02:56.400
purpose, do I purpose according to the
flesh, that with me there should be yea,

02:56.620 --> 02:58.080
yea, and nay, nay?

02:58.840 --> 03:03.920
But as God is true, our word toward you
was not yea and nay.

03:04.620 --> 03:08.720
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ,
who was preached among you by us,

03:08.960 --> 03:16.360
even by me, and Silvanus, and Timotheus,
was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

03:17.000 --> 03:23.120
For all the promises of God in him are
yea, and in him, amen, unto the glory of

03:23.120 --> 03:24.020
God by us.

03:24.740 --> 03:29.920
Now he which establisheth us with you in
Christ, and hath anointed us, is God,

03:30.400 --> 03:35.180
who hath also sealed us, and given the
earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

03:36.180 --> 03:41.200
Moreover, I call God for a record upon my
soul, that to spare you I came not as yet

03:41.200 --> 03:41.980
unto Corinth.

03:42.860 --> 03:47.420
Not for that we have dominion over your
faith, but are helpers of your joy.

03:48.020 --> 03:50.100
For by faith ye stand.
