CHAP. I.
3 The Apostle incourageth them against troubles, by the comforts and deliuerances which God had giuen him, as in all his afflictions, 8 so particularly in his late danger in Asia. 12 And calling both his owne conscience, and theirs to witnesse, of his sincere maner of preaching the immutable trueth of the Gospel, 15 Hee excuseth his not comming to them, as proceeding not of lightnesse, but of his lenitie towards them.
2 Grace bee to you and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in vs, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and saluation, which is effectuall in the enduring of the same sufferings, which wee also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation, and saluation.6
9 But we had the sentence of death in our selues, that we should not trust in our selues, but in God which raiseth the dead.9
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come vnto you before, that you might haue a second benefit:15
18 But as God is true, our word toward you, was not yea and nay.18
20 For all the promises of God in him are Yea, and in him Amen, vnto the glory of God by vs.
21 Now hee which stablisheth vs with you, in Christ, and hath anoynted vs, is God,
22 Who hath also sealed vs, and giuen the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Moreouer, I call God for a record vpō my soule, that to spare you I came not as yet vnto Corinth.
24 Not for that we haue dominion ouer your faith, but are helpers of your ioy: for by faith ye stand.
