1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ 'cause God said so, and Timothy our bro, shoutout to the church in Corinth and all the saints in Achaia, no cap.

2Sending you mad grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, periodt.

3Big ups to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the ultimate vibe of mercy and comfort, fr.

4He’s the one who vibes with us in all our struggles so we can help others who are going through it too, no cap.

5Just like Christ's struggles are lit in us, our comfort also pops off through Him.

6Whether we’re going through tough times or getting comforted, it’s all for your good and salvation, bet.

7Our hope in you is solid, knowing that if you’re feeling the grind, you’re gonna feel the comfort too, no cap.

8Just so you know, fam, we had a rough time in Asia and it was wild, like we thought we were done for, fr.

9We felt like we were facing death, but it taught us to trust God, who brings the dead back to life, goated.

10He saved us from that major struggle and keeps delivering us; we trust He’s got our backs for real.

11You all praying for us is a whole vibe, and we’re grateful for everyone who’s got our back, periodt.

12Our joy comes from knowing we’ve been real with you, not flexing worldly wisdom but just keeping it 100 with God’s grace.

13We’re not dropping anything new, just what you already read and know; I trust you’ll catch the vibe till the end.

14You’ve seen us as your joy, just like we see you as ours when the Lord Jesus comes through, fr.

15I was ready to slide to you first for a second boost, no cap.

16Planning to swing by you on my way to Macedonia and then back again, just keeping it lit.

17So when I was thinking about this, did I play games? Like, was I saying yes and no at the same time?

18But for real, as God is true, our words to you weren’t just yes and no.

19The Son of God, Jesus Christ, who we preached to you, was never about yes and no; in Him, it’s always a yes.

20All God’s promises in Him are yes, and in Him, Amen, bringing glory to God through us, periodt.

21God is the one who keeps us steady with you in Christ and has blessed us, no cap.

22He sealed us and gave us the Spirit as a promise in our hearts, lit.

23I’m calling on God to back me up, 'cause I didn’t slide to Corinth yet to spare you, fr.

24Not trying to control your faith, just here to boost your joy; you stand strong by faith, periodt.

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

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

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

4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

6And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

7And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

8For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

9But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

10Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

11Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

12For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

13For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

14As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

15And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

16And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judea.

17When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

18But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

20For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

21Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

22Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

23Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

24Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
