| 1 | Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia: | Ro 1:1-5 1Co 1:1 1Ti 1:1 2Ti 1:1 |
| 2 | Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. | Ro 1:7 2Sa 15:20 1Ch 12:18 Dn 4:1 1Co 1:3 Ga 6:16 Eph 6:23 Php 1:2 Col 1:2 1Th 1:1 2Th 1:2 Phm 1:3 |
| 3 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; | Gn 14:20 1Ch 29:10 Ne 9:5 Jb 1:21 Ps 18:46 Ps 72:19 Dn 4:34 Eph 1:3 1Pe 1:3 |
| 4 | who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. | 2Co 7:6 2Co 7:7 Ps 86:17 Isa 12:1 Isa 49:10 Isa 51:3 Isa 51:12 Isa 52:9 Isa 66:12 Isa 66:13 Jn 14:16 Jn 14:18 Jn 14:26 2Th 2:16 2Th 2:17 |
| 5 | For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ. | 2Co 4:10 2Co 4:11 2Co 11:23-30 Ac 9:4 1Co 4:10-13 Php 1:20 Php 3:10 Col 1:24 |
| 6 | But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which works in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer. | 2Co 1:4 2Co 4:15-18 1Co 3:21-23 2Ti 2:10 |
| 7 | Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort. | 2Co 1:14 2Co 7:9 2Co 12:20 Php 1:6 Php 1:7 1Th 1:3 1Th 1:4 |
| 8 | For we don`t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life. | 2Co 4:7-12 Ac 19:23-35 1Co 15:32 1Co 16:9 |
| 9 | Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead, | 2Co 3:5 2Co 4:7 2Co 12:7-10 Jb 40:14 Ps 22:29 Ps 44:5-7 Pr 28:26 Jer 9:23 Jer 9:24 Jer 17:5-7 Ezk 33:13 Lk 18:9 |
| 10 | who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us; | 1Sa 7:12 1Sa 17:37 Jb 5:17-22 Ps 34:19 Isa 46:3 Ac 26:21 2Ti 4:17 2Pe 2:9 |
| 11 | you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf. | 2Co 9:14 Isa 37:4 Isa 62:6 Isa 62:7 Ac 12:5 Ro 15:30-32 Eph 6:18 Eph 6:19 Php 1:19 Col 4:3 1Th 5:25 2Th 3:1 Phm 1:22 Heb 13:18 Jm 5:16-18 |
| 12 | For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you. | Jb 13:15 Jb 23:10-12 Jb 27:5 Jb 27:6 Jb 31:1-40 Ps 7:3-5 Ps 44:17-21 Isa 38:3 Ac 24:16 Ro 9:1 1Co 4:4 Ga 6:4 1Ti 1:5 1Ti 1:19 1Ti 1:20 Heb 13:18 1Pe 3:16 1Pe 3:21 1Jn 3:19-22 |
| 13 | For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end; | 2Co 4:2 2Co 5:11 2Co 13:6 Phm 1:6 |
| 14 | as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus. | 2Co 2:5 Ro 11:25 1Co 11:18 |
| 15 | In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit; | 1Co 4:19 1Co 11:34 |
| 16 | and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea. | Ac 19:21 Ac 19:22 Ac 21:5 1Co 16:5-7 |
| 17 | When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?" | Jg 9:4 Jer 23:32 Zep 3:4 |
| 18 | But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not "Yes and no." | 2Co 1:23 2Co 11:31 Jn 7:28 Jn 8:26 1Jn 5:20 Rev 3:7 Rev 3:14 |
| 19 | For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes." | Ps 2:7 Mt 3:17 Mt 16:16 Mt 16:17 Mt 17:5 Mt 26:63 Mt 26:64 Mt 27:40 Mt 27:54 Mk 1:1 Lk 1:35 Jn 1:34 Jn 1:49 Jn 3:16 Jn 3:35 Jn 3:36 Jn 6:69 Jn 19:7 Jn 20:28 Jn 20:31 Ac 8:37 Ac 9:20 Ro 1:3 Ro 1:4 2Pe 1:17 1Jn 1:3 1Jn 5:9-13 1Jn 5:20-13 2Jn 1:9 Rev 2:18 |
| 20 | For however many are the promises of God, in him is the "Yes." Therefore also through him is the "Amen," to the glory of God through us. | Gn 3:15 Gn 22:18 Gn 49:10 Ps 72:17 Isa 7:14 Isa 9:6 Isa 9:7 Lk 1:68-74 Jn 1:17 Jn 14:6 Ac 3:25 Ac 3:26 Ac 13:32-39 Ro 6:23 Ro 15:8 Ro 15:9 Ga 3:16-18 Ga 3:22-18 Heb 6:12-19 Heb 7:6 Heb 9:10-15 Heb 11:13 Heb 11:39 Heb 11:40 Heb 13:8 1Jn 2:24 1Jn 2:25 1Jn 5:11 |
| 21 | Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God; | 2Co 5:5 Ps 37:23 Ps 37:24 Ps 87:5 Ps 89:4 Isa 9:7 Isa 49:8 Isa 62:7 Ro 16:25 Col 2:7 1Th 3:13 2Th 2:8 2Th 2:17 2Th 3:3 1Pe 5:10 |
| 22 | who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts. | Jn 6:27 Ro 4:11 Eph 1:13 Eph 1:14 Eph 4:30 2Ti 2:19 Rev 2:17 Rev 7:3 Rev 9:4 |
| 23 | But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn`t come to Corinth to spare you. | 2Co 1:18 2Co 11:11 2Co 11:31 Ro 1:9 Ro 9:1 Ga 1:20 Php 1:8 1Th 2:5 |
| 24 | Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith. | Mt 23:8-10 Mt 24:49 1Co 3:5 2Ti 2:24-26 1Pe 5:3 |
