2 Corinthians 1:1-7 ▼

1 Paul an Apostle of Iesu Christe, by the wyll of God, & brother Timotheus. Unto ye Church of God which is at Corinthus, with all the saintes which are in all Achaia:

2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our father and from the Lorde Iesus Christe.

3 Blessed be God, the father of our Lorde Iesus Christe, whiche is the father of mercies, & the God of al comfort:

4 Which comforted vs in all our tribulation, insomuch that we are able to comfort them which are in any maner trouble, with the comfort wherwith we our selues are comforted of God.

5 For as the afflictions of Christ are plenteous in vs: euen so is our consolation plenteous by Christe.

6 Whether we be troubled it is for your consolation and saluation, which saluation sheweth her power, in that ye suffer the same afflictions whiche we also suffer: or whether we be comforted it is for your consolation & saluation:

7 And our hope is stedfast, insomuch as we knowe howe that as ye are partakers of ye afflictions, so ye be partakers also of the consolation.
