1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy, a brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all of Achaia: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the […]

1 But I determined this within myself, not to return again to you in sorrow. 2 For if I make you sorrowful, then who is it that can make me glad, except the one who is made sorrowful by me? 3 And so, I wrote this same thing to you, so that I might not, […]

1 Must we begin again to commend ourselves? Or are we in need (as some are) of epistles of commendation for you, or from you? 2 You are our Epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men. 3 It has been made manifest that you are the Epistle of Christ, […]

1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, and in as much as we have obtained mercy for ourselves, we are not inadequate. 2 For we renounce dishonorable and hidden acts, not walking by craftiness, nor by adulterating the Word of God.

We have injured no one; we have corrupted no one; we have defrauded no one. 3 I am not saying this to your condemnation. […]

1 Now, concerning the ministry that is done toward the saints, it is not necessary for me to write to you. 2 For I know your willing mind. I glory about you, concerning this, to the Macedonians. For Achaia has also been prepared, for the past year. And your example has inspired very many others. […]

1 But I myself, Paul, am begging you, through the meekness and modesty of Christ. I am certainly, by appearances, lowly among you, yet I have confidence in you, even while I am absent. 2 So I am petitioning you, lest I be bold, when present, with that bold confidence that I am considered to […]
