2 Corinthians 1

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:2 - Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:3 - Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:4 - Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:5 - For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:6 - And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:7 - And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:8 - For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:9 - But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:10 - Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:11 - Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

Paul's Integrity

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:12 - For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:13 - For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:14 - As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:15 - And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:16 - And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:17 - When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:18 - But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:19 - For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:20 - For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:21 - Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:22 - Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:23 - Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:24 - Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

2 Corinthians 2

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:1 - But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:2 - For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:3 - And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:4 - For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:5 - But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:6 - Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:7 - So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:8 - Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:9 - For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:10 - To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:11 - Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:12 - Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:13 - I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:14 - Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:15 - For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:16 - To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:17 - For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

2 Corinthians 3

Ministers of a New Covenant

(cf. Jer 31:31–34 )
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:1 - Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:2 - Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:3 - Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:4 - And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:5 - Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:6 - Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:7 - But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:8 - How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:9 - For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:10 - For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:11 - For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:12 - Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:13 - And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:14 - But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:15 - But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:16 - Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:17 - Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:18 - But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 4

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:1 - Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:2 - But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:3 - But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:4 - In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:5 - For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:6 - For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:7 - But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:8 - We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:9 - Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:10 - Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:11 - For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:12 - So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:13 - We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:14 - Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:15 - For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:16 - For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:17 - For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 4:18 - While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
