\subsection{II Corinthians 1}
\VS{1} Paul, [an] apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy the 
brother, to the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} which is in Corinth with all the holy [ones] 
which are in all Achaia, 
\VS{2} grace to you and peace from God our father and [our] Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

\VS{3} Blessed is the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of 
compassions and God of all encouragement, 
\VS{4} the [one] encouraging us in all 
our affliction, to the end that we be encouraging those in every affliction 
through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God. 
\VS{5} For just as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, this our 
encouragement abounds through the Christ. 
\VS{6} So whether we are 
afflicted, [it is] in behalf [of your] encouragement and salvation; whether we are 
encouraged, [it is] in behalf [of your] encouragement [which is] effective towards endurance of the 
same sufferings which we also suffer. 
\VS{7} And our hope is firm concerning 
you, knowing that as you are partners of the sufferings, thus also [are you] of the 
encouragement. 
\VS{8} For we do not want you to be being ignorant, brothers, 
concerning our affliction which has come to pass in Asia, that we were 
utterly burdened, so that we were in great difficulty even of zoe-life\fnZoe{}. 
\VS{9} But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, in order that we not be 
persuaded upon ourselves, but upon the God having raised the dead, 
\VS{10} who from so great [a] death rescued us, and he does rescue, in whom we hope 
that he will yet rescue [us], 
\VS{11} you also co-helping concerning us in prayer, 
in order that for the gift\footnote{from GRACE} to us by means of many faces, 
thanks be given by many in our\footnote{``our" \sinaiticus{}D\koine{} \vulgate{}; 
``your" \papyrus{46}B} behalf. 
\VS{12} For our boasting is this: the witness of our conscience, 
that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, 
but in the grace of God, have we conducted ourselves in the world, 
and more abundantly towards you. 
\VS{13} For we do not write to you except 
what you read or know. So I hope that you will know until [the] end, 
\VS{14} just as you also have known us in part, that we are your boasting, 
just as you [are] ours in the day of our Lord Jesus. 
\VS{15} And in this persuasion I 
intended previously to come to you in order that you have [a] second grace, 
\VS{16} and to come through you to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to 
come to you and to be sent on my way by you to Judea. 
\VS{17} Intending this 
therefore did I use levity? Or what I intend, do I intend according to [the] 
flesh, in order that there be with the yes [which is] yes and the no [which is] no? 
\VS{18} But God is trustworthy, because our word to you is not yes and no. 
\VS{19} For the son of God Christ Jesus, the [one] proclaimed among you through us, 
through me and Silvanus and Timothy, did not become yes and no, but in him is become yes. 
\VS{20} For as many as [are the] promises of God, in him [they are] yes. Therefore also 
through him [is] the Amen to God for glory through us. 
\VS{21} Now the [one] establishing us with you in Christ and having anointed us 
[is] God, 
\VS{22} the [one] also having sealed us and having given [us] the down-payment of the
spirit in our hearts. 

\VS{23} So I call God [for a] witness upon my psyche-life\fnPsyche{}, that sparing you I came not yet to Corinth. 
\VS{24} Not that we Lord over your faith, but we are co-workers 
[of your] joy, for by faith you do stand.
