of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute
you much in the Lord, with the assembly [church] at their house.
[16:20]All the brothers salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

7 [16:21]The salutation with my hand, Paul's. [16:22]If any one is not
a friend to the Lord, let him be accursed. The Lord comes. [16:23]The
grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. [16:24]My love be with you all in
Christ Jesus.

SECOND EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS.

PHILIPPI, A.D. 58. (ACTS, 16:1.)

CHAPTER I.

THE APOSTLE'S LOVE OF THE CORINTHIANS, HIS TRIALS, HIS DESIGN TO VISIT
THEM, HIS FORMER LETTER, ETC.

1 [1:1]PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy
the brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the
saints who are in all Achaia. [1:2]Grace be to you, and peace from God
our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 [1:3]Blessed be the God and lather of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of mercies and God of all comfort, [1:4]who comforts us in all
our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those in every
affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by
God, [1:5]because as Christ's sufferings abound in us, so also through
Christ does our comfort abound. [1:6]And if we are afflicted, it is for
your comfort and salvation, wrought by a patient endurance the same
sufferings which we also suffer, and our hope for you is strong; and if
we are comforted, it is for your comfort and salvation, [1:7] knowing
that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the
comfort.

3 [1:8]For we wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, of our affliction
which befell us in Asia, that we were exceedingly oppressed beyond our
power, so that we despaired even of life; [1:9]but we had the sentence
of death in ourselves, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God
who raises the dead, [1:10]who delivered us from so great a death and
will deliver, in whom we hope that he will also still deliver,
[1:11]you also striving together for us in prayer, that thanks may be
rendered for us by many persons for the gift bestowed on us by many.

4 [1:12]For this is our rejoicing; the testimony of our conscience that
in purity and godly sincerity, not with a carnal wisdom, but with a
divine grace, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and most
abundantly towards you. [1:13]For we do not write to you of other
things, but of what you read and acknowledge; and I hope you
