1 Paul, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the church of God being in Corinth, with all holy ones being in the whole of Achaia: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Praised the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion, and God of all comfort: 4 Who comforting us upon all our pressure, that we may be able to comfort them in every pressure, by the comfort by which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so by Christ abounds also our comfort. 6 And whether we are pressed, for your comfort and salvation, being well wrought in endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer: whether we are comforted, for your comfort and salvation. 7 And our hope firm for you, knowing, that as ye are participators of the sufferings, so also of the comfort. 8 For we wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, of our pressure having been to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly loaded, above strength, so that we were in utter perplexity even to live: 9 And we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have trusted in ourselves, but in God raising the dead: 2 Corinthians 1:1-9, Smith's Literal Translation.
