2 Corinto 1
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
1 Mula(A) kay Pablo na isang apostol ni Cristo Jesus ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos, kasama ang kapatid nating si Timoteo—
Para sa iglesya ng Diyos sa Corinto at sa mga hinirang ng Diyos, na nasa buong Acaya.
2 Sumainyo nawa ang pagpapala at ang kapayapaang mula sa Diyos na ating Ama at sa Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.
Pasasalamat ni Pablo
3 Purihin natin ang Diyos at Ama ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, ang Ama ng kahabagan at Diyos na pinagmumulan ng lahat ng kaaliwan. 4 Inaaliw niya kami sa aming mga kapighatian upang sa pamamagitan ng kaaliwang tinanggap natin sa kanya ay maaliw naman namin sa mga nahahapis. 5 Sapagkat kung gaano karami ang aming paghihirap dahil sa aming pakikipag-isa kay Cristo, gayundin naman karami ang aming kaaliwan kay Cristo. 6 Kung naghihirap man kami, ito'y para sa ikaaaliw at ikaliligtas ninyo. Kapag naaaliw kami, kayo ma'y naaaliw rin at lumalakas upang inyong matiis ang mga kapighatiang dinaranas ninyo tulad namin. 7 Kaya't matibay ang aming pag-asa para sa inyo, sapagkat alam naming kung paanong kahati kayo sa aming kahirapan, magiging kahati rin kayo sa aming kaaliwan.
8 Mga(B) kapatid, nais naming malaman ninyo ang mga kapighatiang dinanas namin sa Asia. Napakabigat ng aming dinanas, anupa't akala namin ay mamamatay na kami. 9 Para kaming hinatulan ng kamatayan. Subalit nangyari iyon upang huwag kaming manalig sa aming sarili, kundi sa Diyos na muling bumubuhay sa mga patay. 10 Iniligtas niya kami sa malagim na kamatayan, at patuloy na ililigtas. Kami'y umaasa rin na patuloy niya kaming ililigtas 11 sa tulong ng inyong mga panalangin. Sa gayon, marami ang magpapasalamat sa Diyos dahil sa pagpapala niya sa amin bilang tugon sa panalangin ng marami.
Nagbago ng Balak si Pablo
12 Ito ang aming ipinagmamalaki at pinapatunayan naman ng aming budhi: tapat[a] at walang pagkukunwari ang aming pakikisama sa lahat, lalo na sa inyo. Subalit nagawa namin ito sa kagandahang-loob ng Diyos at hindi sa pamamagitan ng karunungan ng tao. 13 Ang isinulat namin sa inyo ay iyon lamang kaya ninyong basahin at unawain. Gayon pa man, hindi pa rin ninyo kami lubos na maunawaan. 14 Ngunit umaasa akong mauunawaan din ninyo kami, upang sa araw ng ating Panginoong Jesus ay maipagmalaki ninyo kami kung paanong maipagmamalaki namin kayo.
15 Dahil sa natitiyak ko ito, binalak kong pumunta muna diyan upang dalawang ulit kayong pagpalain. 16 Binalak(C) kong dalawin muna kayo diyan bago pumunta sa Macedonia, at dumaan muli sa pagbabalik ko galing doon upang matulungan ninyo ako sa pagpunta ko sa Judea. 17 Ako ba'y nagdadalawang-isip nang balakin ko ito? Ako ba'y nagpaplanong tulad ng mga taga-sanlibutan, na nagsasabi ng “Oo” at pagkatapos ay hindi naman pala? 18 Kung paanong ang Diyos ay tapat, gayundin ang aming salita sa inyo ay “Oo” kung “Oo” at “Hindi” kung “Hindi”. 19 Ang(D) Anak ng Diyos, na si Jesu-Cristo, na ipinangaral namin nina Silvano at Timoteo, ay hindi “Oo” at “Hindi” dahil lagi siyang “Oo,” 20 sapagkat kay Cristo, ang lahat ng pangako ng Diyos ay palaging “Oo”. Dahil dito, nakakasagot tayo ng “Amen” sa pamamagitan niya para sa ikaluluwalhati ng Diyos. 21 Ang Diyos ang nagpapatibay sa amin at sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng pakikipag-isa kay Cristo, at siya rin ang humirang sa amin. 22 Nilagyan niya kami ng kanyang tatak at pinagkalooban ng kanyang Espiritu bilang patunay na tutuparin niya ang kanyang mga ipinangako.
23 Saksi ko ang Diyos, alam niya ang laman ng aking puso. Hindi muna ako pumunta riyan sa Corinto sapagkat kayo rin ang inaalala ko. 24 Hindi sa nais naming pangunahan kayo sapagkat alam naming sinisikap ninyong maging matatag sa pananampalataya. Nais lamang naming tumulong upang maging maligaya kayo.

2 Corinthians 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, (A)an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and (B)Timothy our brother,
To the church of God which is at Corinth, (C)with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 (D)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Comfort in Suffering
3 (E)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who (F)comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any [a]trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as (G)the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our [b]consolation also abounds through Christ. 6 Now if we are afflicted, (H)it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that (I)as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
Delivered from Suffering
8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of (J)our [c]trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should (K)not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, 10 (L)who delivered us from so great a death, and [d]does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us, 11 you also (M)helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on [e]our behalf (N)for the gift granted to us through many.
Paul’s Sincerity
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in [f]simplicity and (O)godly sincerity, (P)not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you. 13 For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end 14 (as also you have understood us in part), (Q)that we are your boast as (R)you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Sparing the Church
15 And in this confidence (S)I intended to come to you before, that you might have (T)a second benefit— 16 to pass by way of you to Macedonia, (U)to come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea. 17 Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan (V)according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? 18 But as God is (W)faithful, our [g]word to you was not Yes and No. 19 For (X)the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, (Y)Silvanus, and (Z)Timothy—was not Yes and No, (AA)but in Him was Yes. 20 (AB)For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and (AC)has anointed us is God, 22 who (AD)also has sealed us and (AE)given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
23 Moreover (AF)I call God as witness against my soul, (AG)that to spare you I came no more to Corinth. 24 Not (AH)that we [h]have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for (AI)by faith you stand.

King James Version
1 Paul, 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:
2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 Who 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.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 And 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.
7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
8 For 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:
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 Ye 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.
12 For 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.
13 For we write none other things unto you, that what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
16 And 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 Judaea.
17 When 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?
18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
19 For 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.
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
