2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 1
- 2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
- 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
- 1:3 Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,
- 1:4 who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;
- 1:5 because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;
- 1:6 and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;
- 1:7 and our hope [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings -- so also of the comfort.
- 1:8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we despaired even of life;
- 1:9 but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,
- 2 Corinthians 1:10 who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;
- 1:11 ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us.
- 1:12 For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;
- 1:13 for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,
- 1:14 according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye [are] ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus;
- 1:15 and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,
- 1:16 and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea.
- 1:17 This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?
- 1:18 and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,
- 1:19 for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus -- did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;
- 2 Corinthians 1:20 for as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;
- 1:21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, [is] God,
- 1:22 who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
- 1:23 And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth;
- 1:24 not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.

2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 2
- 2 Corinthians 2:1 And I decided this to myself, not again to come in sorrow unto you,
- 2:2 for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?
- 2:3 and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,
- 2:4 for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.
- 2:5 And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;
- 2:6 sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the more part,
- 2:7 so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;
- 2:8 wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,
- 2:9 for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.
- 2 Corinthians 2:10 And to whom ye forgive anything -- I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you -- in the person of Christ -- [I forgive it,]
- 2:11 that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant.
- 2:12 And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,
- 2:13 I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;
- 2:14 and to God [are] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,
- 2:15 because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;
- 2:16 to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?
- 2:17 for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity -- but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.

2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 3
- 2 Corinthians 3:1 Do we begin again to recommend ourselves, except we need, as some, letters of recommendation unto you, or from you?
- 3:2 our letter ye are, having been written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
- 3:3 manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart,
- 3:4 and such trust we have through the Christ toward God,
- 3:5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God,
- 3:6 who also made us sufficient [to be] ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.
- 3:7 and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face -- which was being made useless,
- 3:8 how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?
- 3:9 for if the ministration of the condemnation [is] glory, much more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound in glory;
- 2 Corinthians 3:10 for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious -- in this respect, because of the superior glory;
- 3:11 for if that which is being made useless [is] through glory, much more that which is remaining [is] in glory.
- 3:12 Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech,
- 3:13 and [are] not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless,
- 3:14 but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn -- which in Christ is being made useless --
- 3:15 but till to-day, when Moses is read, a vail upon their heart doth lie,
- 3:16 and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away.
- 3:17 And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty;
- 3:18 and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 4
- 2 Corinthians 4:1 Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,
- 4:2 but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;
- 4:3 and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,
- 4:4 in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;
- 4:5 for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus -- Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;
- 4:6 because [it is] God who said, Out of darkness light [is] to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
- 4:7 And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;
- 4:8 on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;
- 4:9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
- 2 Corinthians 4:10 at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,
- 4:11 for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,
- 4:12 so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.
- 4:13 And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, 'I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;
- 4:14 knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,
- 4:15 for the all things [are] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;
- 4:16 wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;
- 4:17 for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us --
- 4:18 we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] age-during.

2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 5
- 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we have known that if our earthly house of the tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an house not made with hands -- age-during -- in the heavens,
- 5:2 for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,
- 5:3 if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be found naked,
- 5:4 for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.
- 5:5 And He who did work us to this self-same thing [is] God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;
- 5:6 having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord, --
- 5:7 for through faith we walk, not through sight --
- 5:8 we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
- 5:9 Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him,
- 2 Corinthians 5:10 for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things [done] through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;
- 5:11 having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested;
- 5:12 for not again ourselves do we recommend to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that ye may have [something] in reference to those glorifying in face and not in heart;
- 5:13 for whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God; whether we be of sound mind -- [it is] to you,
- 5:14 for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,
- 5:15 and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.
- 5:16 So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;
- 5:17 so that if any one [is] in Christ -- [he is] a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.
- 5:18 And the all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,
- 5:19 how that God was in Christ -- a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,
- 2 Corinthians 5:20 in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, 'Be ye reconciled to God;'
- 5:21 for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
|| 5 || Young's Literal NT Index || 7-13 ||
2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 6
- 2 Corinthians 6:1 And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God --
- 6:2 for He saith, 'In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' --
- 6:3 in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,
- 6:4 but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,
- 6:5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
- 6:6 in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
- 6:7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,
- 6:8 through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;
- 6:9 as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;
- 2 Corinthians 6:10 as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
- 6:11 Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!
- 6:12 ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,
- 6:13 and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it],) be ye enlarged -- also ye!
- 6:14 Become not yoked with others -- unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?
- 6:15 and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
- 6:16 and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said -- 'I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,
- 6:17 wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I -- I will receive you,
- 6:18 and I will be to you for a Father, and ye -- ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'
