WEB·2 Corinthians 1

¹Paul, 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:

KJVPaul^G3972, an apostle^G652 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 by^G1223 the will^G2307 of God^G2316, and^G2532 Timothy^G5095 our brother^G80, unto the church^G1577 of God^G2316 which^G3588 is^G5607^(G5752) at^G1722 Corinth^G2882, with^G4862 all^G3956 the saints^G40 which^G3588 are^G5607^(G5752) in^G1722 all^G3650 Achaia^G882:

² Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVGrace^G5485 be to you^G5213 and^G2532 peace^G1515 from^G575 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962, and^G2532 from the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

KJVBlessed^G2128 be God^G2316, even^G2532 the Father^G3962 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, the Father^G3962 of mercies^G3628, and^G2532 the God^G2316 of all^G3956 comfort^G3874;

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.

KJVWho^G3588 comforteth^G3870^(G5723) us^G2248 in^G1909 all^G3956 our^G2257 tribulation^G2347, that^G1519 we^G2248 may be able^G1410^(G5738) to comfort^G3870^(G5721) them which are in^G1722 any^G3956 trouble^G2347, by^G1223 the comfort^G3874 wherewith^G3739 we^G3870 ourselves^G846 are comforted^G3870^(G5743) of^G5259 God^G2316.

⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

KJVFor^G3754 as^G2531 the sufferings^G3804 of Christ^G5547 abound^G4052^(G5719) in^G1519 us^G2248, so^G3779 our^G2257 consolation^G3874 also^G2532 aboundeth^G4052^(G5719) by^G1223 Christ^G5547.

⁶ But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

KJVAnd^G1161 whether^G1535 we be afflicted^G2346^(G5743), it is for^G5228 your^G5216 consolation^G3874 and^G2532 salvation^G4991, which^G3588 is effectual^G1754^(G5734) in^G1722 the enduring^G5281 of the same^G846 sufferings^G3804 which^G3739 we^G2249 also^G2532 suffer^G3958^(G5719): or whether^G1535 we be comforted^G3870^(G5743), it is for^G5228 your^G5216 consolation^G3874 and^G2532 salvation^G4991.

⁷ Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

KJVAnd^G2532 our^G2257 hope^G1680 of^G5228 you^G5216 is stedfast^G949, knowing^G1492^(G5761), that^G3754 as^G5618 ye are^G2075^(G5748) partakers^G2844 of the sufferings^G3804, so^G3779 shall ye be also^G2532 of the consolation^G3874.

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.

KJVFor^G1063 we would^G2309^(G5719) not^G3756, brethren^G80, have^G50 you^G5209 ignorant^G50^(G5721) of^G5228 our^G2257 trouble^G2347 which^G3588 came^G1096^(G5637) to us^G2254 in^G1722 Asia^G773, that^G3754 we were pressed^G2596 out^G916^(G5681) of measure^G5236, above^G5228 strength^G1411, insomuch^G5620 that we^G2248 despaired^G1820^(G5683) even^G2532 of life^G2198^(G5721):

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,

KJVBut^G235^G846 we had^G2192^(G5758) the sentence^G610 of death^G2288 in^G1722 ourselves^G1438, that^G3363 we should^G3982 not^G3363 trust^G3982^(G5756) in^G1909 ourselves^G1438^G5600^(G5753), but^G235 in^G1909 God^G2316 which^G3588 raiseth^G1453^(G5723) the dead^G3498:

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,

KJVWho^G3739 delivered^G4506^(G5673) us^G2248 from^G1537 so great^G5082 a death^G2288, and^G2532 doth deliver^G4506^(G5736): in^G1519 whom^G3739 we trust^G1679^(G5758) that^G3754 he will^G4506^G2532 yet^G2089 deliver^G4506^(G5695) us;

¹¹ you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

KJVYe^G5216 also^G2532 helping together^G4943^(G5723) by prayer^G1162 for^G5228 us^G2257, that^G2443 for the gift^G5486 bestowed upon^G1519 us^G2248 by^G1537 the means of many^G4183 persons^G4383 thanks may be^G2168^(G5686) given^G5228 by^G1223 many^G4183 on our behalf^G2257.

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.

KJVFor^G1063 our^G2257 rejoicing^G2746 is^G2076^(G5748) this^G3778, the testimony^G3142 of our^G2257 conscience^G4893, that^G3754 in^G1722 simplicity^G572 and^G2532 godly^G2316 sincerity^G1505, not^G3756 with^G1722 fleshly^G4559 wisdom^G4678, but^G235 by^G1722 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316, we have had our conversation^G390^(G5648) in^G1722 the world^G2889, and^G1161 more abundantly^G4056 to^G4314 you-ward^G5209.

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—

KJVFor^G1063 we write^G1125^(G5719) none^G3756 other things^G243 unto you^G5213, than^G235^G2228 what^G3739 ye read^G314^(G5719) or^G2228^G2532 acknowledge^G1921^(G5719); and^G1161 I trust^G1679^(G5719)^G3754 ye shall acknowledge^G1921^(G5695) even^G2532 to^G2193 the end^G5056;

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.

KJVAs^G2531 also^G2532 ye have acknowledged^G1921^(G5627) us^G2248 in^G575 part^G3313, that^G3754 we are^G2070^(G5748) your^G5216 rejoicing^G2745, even as^G2509 ye^G5210 also^G2532 are ours^G2257 in^G1722 the day^G2250 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424.

¹⁵ In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

KJVAnd^G2532 in this^G5026 confidence^G4006 I was minded^G1014^(G5711) to come^G2064^(G5629) unto^G4314 you^G5209 before^G4386, that^G2443 ye might have^G2192^(G5725) a second^G1208 benefit^G5485;

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.

KJVAnd^G2532 to pass^G1330^(G5629) by^G1223 you^G5216 into^G1519 Macedonia^G3109, and^G2532 to come^G2064^(G5629) again^G3825 out of^G575 Macedonia^G3109 unto^G4314 you^G5209, and^G2532 of^G5259 you^G5216 to be brought on my way^G4311^(G5683) toward^G1519 Judaea^G2449.

¹⁷ When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

KJVWhen I^G1011 therefore^G3767 was^G1011 thus^G5124 minded^G1011^(G5740), did I use^G3385^G686^G5530^(G5662) lightness^G1644? or^G2228 the things that^G3739 I purpose^G1011^(G5736), do I purpose^G1011^(G5736) according^G2596 to the flesh^G4561, that^G2443 with^G3844 me^G1698 there should be^G5600^(G5753) yea^G3483 yea^G3483, and^G2532 nay^G3756 nay^G3756?

¹⁸ But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

KJVBut^G1161 as God^G2316 is true^G4103,^G3754 our^G2257 word^G3056 toward^G4314 you^G5209 was^G1096^(G5633) not^G3756 yea^G3483 and^G2532 nay^G3756.

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.”

KJVFor^G1063 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316, Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, who^G3588 was preached^G2784^(G5685) among^G1722 you^G5213 by^G1223 us^G2257, even by^G1223 me^G1700 and^G2532 Silvanus^G4610 and^G2532 Timotheus^G5095, was^G1096^(G5633) not^G3756 yea^G3483 and^G2532 nay^G3756, but^G235 in^G1722 him^G846 was^G1096^(G5754) yea^G3483.

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.

KJVFor^G1063 all^G3745 the promises^G1860 of God^G2316 in^G1722 him^G846 are yea^G3483, and^G2532 in^G1722 him^G846 Amen^G281, unto^G4314 the glory^G1391 of God^G2316 by^G1223 us^G2257.

²¹ Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

KJVNow^G1161 he which stablisheth^G950^(G5723) us^G2248 with^G4862 you^G5213 in^G1519 Christ^G5547, and^G2532 hath anointed^G5548^(G5660) us^G2248, is God^G2316;

²² who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

KJVWho^G3588 hath^G4972 also^G2532 sealed^G4972^(G5671) us^G2248, and^G2532 given^G1325^(G5631) the earnest^G728 of the Spirit^G4151 in^G1722 our^G2257 hearts^G2588.

²³ But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.

KJVMoreover^G1161 I^G1473 call^G1941^(G5731) God^G2316 for a record^G3144 upon^G1909 my^G1699 soul^G5590, that^G3754 to spare^G5339^(G5740) you^G5216 I came^G2064^(G5627) not as yet^G3765 unto^G1519 Corinth^G2882.

²⁴ We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

KJVNot^G3756 for that^G3754 we have dominion over^G2961^(G5719) your^G5216 faith^G4102, but^G235 are^G2070^(G5748) helpers^G4904 of your^G5216 joy^G5479: for^G1063 by faith^G4102 ye stand^G2476^(G5758).

WEB·1 Corinthians 16

¹Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

KJVNow^G1161 concerning^G4012 the collection^G3048 for^G1519 the saints^G40, as^G5618 I have given order^G1299^(G5656) to the churches^G1577 of Galatia^G1053, even^G2532 so^G3779 do^G4160^(G5657) ye^G5210.

² On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.

KJVUpon^G2596 the first^G3391 day of the week^G4521 let^G5087 every one^G1538 of you^G5216 lay^G5087^(G5720) by^G3844 him^G1438 in store^G2343^(G5723), as^G3748^G302 God hath prospered him^G2137^(G5747), that^G3363 there be^G1096^(G5741) no^G3363 gatherings^G3048^G5119 when^G3752 I come^G2064^(G5632).

³ When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G3752 I come^G3854^(G5638), whomsoever^G3739^G1437 ye shall approve^G1381^(G5661) by^G1223 your letters^G1992, them^G5128 will I send^G3992^(G5692) to bring^G667^(G5629) your^G5216 liberality^G5485 unto^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419.

⁴ If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

KJVAnd^G1161 if^G1437 it be^G5600^(G5753) meet^G514 that I go^G4198^(G5738) also^G2504, they shall go^G4198^(G5695) with^G4862 me^G1698.

⁵ I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

KJVNow^G1161 I will come^G2064^(G5695) unto^G4314 you^G5209, when^G3752 I shall pass through^G1330^(G5632) Macedonia^G3109: for^G1063 I do pass through^G1330^(G5736) Macedonia^G3109.

⁶ But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

KJVAnd^G1161 it may be^G5177^(G5631) that I will abide^G3887^(G5692), yea^G2228, and^G2532 winter^G3914^(G5692) with^G4314 you^G5209, that^G2443 ye^G5210 may bring^G4311 me^G3165 on my journey^G4311^(G5661) whithersoever^G3757^G1437 I go^G4198^(G5741).

⁷ For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

KJVFor^G1063 I will^G2309^(G5719) not^G3756 see^G1492^(G5629) you^G5209 now^G737 by^G1722 the way^G3938; but^G1161 I trust^G1679^(G5719) to tarry^G1961^(G5658) a while^G5100^G5550 with^G4314 you^G5209, if^G1437 the Lord^G2962 permit^G2010^(G5725).

⁸ But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

KJVBut^G1161 I will tarry^G1961^(G5692) at^G1722 Ephesus^G2181 until^G2193 Pentecost^G4005.

⁹ for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

KJVFor^G1063 a great^G3173 door^G2374 and^G2532 effectual^G1756 is opened^G455^(G5754) unto me^G3427, and^G2532 there are many^G4183 adversaries^G480^(G5740).

¹⁰ Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

KJVNow^G1161 if^G1437 Timotheus^G5095 come^G2064^(G5632), see^G991^(G5720) that^G2443 he may be^G1096^(G5638) with^G4314 you^G5209 without fear^G870: for^G1063 he worketh^G2038^(G5736) the work^G2041 of the Lord^G2962, as^G5613 I^G1473 also^G2532 do.

¹¹ Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

KJVLet^G1848 no^G3361 man^G5100 therefore^G3767 despise^G1848^(G5661) him^G846: but^G1161 conduct^G4311 him^G846 forth^G4311^(G5657) in^G1722 peace^G1515, that^G2443 he may come^G2064^(G5632) unto^G4314 me^G3165: for^G1063 I look for^G1551^(G5736) him^G846 with^G3326 the brethren^G80.

¹² Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

KJVAs^G1161 touching^G4012 our brother^G80 Apollos^G625, I^G3870 greatly^G4183 desired^G3870^(G5656) him^G846 to^G2443 come^G2064^(G5632) unto^G4314 you^G5209 with^G3326 the brethren^G80: but^G2532 his will^G2307 was^G2258^(G5713) not^G3756 at all^G3843 to^G2443 come^G2064^(G5632) at this^G3568 time; but^G1161 he will come^G2064^(G5695) when^G3752 he shall have convenient time^G2119^(G5661).

¹³ Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

KJVWatch ye^G1127^(G5720), stand fast^G4739^(G5720) in^G1722 the faith^G4102, quit you like men^G407^(G5737), be strong^G2901^(G5744).

¹⁴ Let all that you do be done in love.

KJVLet^G1096 all^G3956 your^G5216 things^G3956 be done^G1096^(G5737) with^G1722 charity^G26.

¹⁵ Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints—

KJV^G1161 I beseech^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80,(ye know^G1492^(G5758) the house^G3614 of Stephanas^G4734, that^G3754 it is^G2076^(G5748) the firstfruits^G536 of Achaia^G882, and^G2532 that they have addicted^G5021^(G5656) themselves^G1438 to^G1519 the ministry^G1248 of the saints^G40,)

¹⁶ that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

KJV^G2532 That^G2443 ye^G5210 submit yourselves^G5293^(G5747) unto such^G5108, and^G2532 to every one^G3956 that helpeth^G4903^(G5723) with us, and^G2532 laboureth^G2872^(G5723).

¹⁷ I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.

KJV^G1161 I am glad^G5463^(G5719) of^G1909 the coming^G3952 of Stephanas^G4734 and^G2532 Fortunatus^G5415 and^G2532 Achaicus^G883: for that^G3754 which was lacking^G5303 on your part^G5216 they^G3778 have supplied^G378^(G5656).

¹⁸ For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

KJVFor^G1063 they have refreshed^G373^(G5656) my^G1699 spirit^G4151 and^G2532 yours^G5216: therefore^G3767 acknowledge ye^G1921^(G5720) them that are such^G5108.

¹⁹ The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.

KJVThe churches^G1577 of Asia^G773 salute^G782^(G5736) you^G5209. Aquila^G207 and^G2532 Priscilla^G4252 salute^G782^(G5736) you^G5209 much^G4183 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, with^G4862 the church^G1577 that is in^G2596 their^G846 house^G3624.

²⁰ All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

KJVAll^G3956 the brethren^G80 greet^G782^(G5736) you^G5209. Greet ye^G782^(G5663) one another^G240 with^G1722 an holy^G40 kiss^G5370.

²¹ This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

KJVThe salutation^G783 of me Paul^G3972 with mine own^G1699 hand^G5495.

²² If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!

KJVIf any man^G1536 love^G5368^(G5719) not^G3756 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, let him be^G2277^(G5749) Anathema^G331 Maranatha^G3134.

²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

KJVThe grace^G5485 of our Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 be with^G3326 you^G5216.

²⁴ My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

KJVMy^G3450 love^G26 be with^G3326 you^G5216 all^G3956 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424. Amen^G281. The first^G4413 epistle to^G4314 the Corinthians^G2881 was written^G1125^(G5648) from^G575 Philippi^G5375 by^G1223 Stephanas^G4734 and^G2532 Fortunatus^G5415 and^G2532 Achaicus^G883 and^G2532 Timotheus^G5095.
