고린도후서 1

1하나님의 뜻으로 말미암아 그리스도 예수의 사도 된 바울과 및 형제 디모데는 고린도에 있는 하나님의 교회와 또 온 아가야에 있는 모든 성도에게 2하나님 우리 아버지와 주 예수 그리스도로 좇아 은혜와 평강이 있기를 원하노라 3찬송하리로다 그는 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 하나님이시요 자비의 아버지시요 모든 위로의 하나님이시며 4우리의 모든 환난 중에서 우리를 위로하사 우리로 하여금 하나님께 받는 위로로써 모든 환난 중에 있는 자들을 능히 위로하게 하시는 이시로다 5그리스도의 고난이 우리에게 넘친 것 같이 우리의 위로도 그리스도로 말미암아 넘치는도다 6우리가 환난 받는 것도 너희의 위로와 구원을 위함이요 혹 위로 받는 것도 너희의 위로를 위함이니 이 위로가 너희 속에 역사하여 우리가 받는 것 같은 고난을 너희도 견디게 하느니라 7너희를 위한 우리의 소망이 견고함은 너희가 고난에 참예하는 자가 된 것 같이 위로에도 그러할 줄을 앎이라 8형제들아 우리가 아시아에서 당한 환난을 너희가 알지 못하기를 원치 아니하노니 힘에 지나도록 심한 고생을 받아 살 소망까지 끊어지고 9우리 마음에 사형 선고를 받은 줄 알았으니 이는 우리로 자기를 의뢰하지 말고 오직 죽은 자를 다시 살리시는 하나님만 의뢰하게 하심이라 10그가 이같이 큰 사망에서 우리를 건지셨고 또 건지시리라 또한 이후에라도 건지시기를 그를 의지하여 바라노라 11너희도 우리를 위하여 간구함으로 도우라 이는 우리가 많은 사람의 기도로 얻은 은사를 인하여 많은 사람도 우리를 위하여 감사하게 하려 함이라 12우리가 세상에서 특별히 너희에게 대하여 하나님의 거룩함과 진실함으로써 하되 육체의 지혜로 하지 아니하고 하나님의 은혜로 행함은 우리 양심의 증거하는 바니 이것이 우리의 자랑이라 13오직 너희가 읽고 아는 것 외에 우리가 다른 것을 쓰지 아니하노니 너희가 끝까지 알기를 내가 바라는 것은 14너희가 대강 우리를 아는 것 같이 우리 주 예수의 날에 너희가 우리의 자랑이 되고 우리가 너희의 자랑이 되는 것이라 15내가 이 확신을 가지고 너희로 두 번 은혜를 얻게 하기 위하여 먼저 너희에게 이르렀다가 16너희를 지나 마게도냐에 갔다가 다시 마게도냐에서 너희에게 가서 너희가 보내줌으로 유대로 가기를 경영하였으니 17이렇게 경영할 때에 어찌 경홀히 하였으리요 혹 경영하기를 육체를 좇아 경영하여 예 예 하고 아니 아니라 하는 일이 내게 있었겠느냐 18하나님은 미쁘시니라 우리가 너희에게 한 말은 예 하고 아니라 함이 없노라 19우리 곧 나와 실루아노와 디모데로 말미암아 너희 가운데 전파된 하나님의 아들 예수 그리스도는 예 하고 아니라 함이 되지 아니하였으니 저에게는 예만 되었느니라 20하나님의 약속은 얼마든지 그리스도 안에서 예가 되니 그런즉 그로 말미암아 우리가 아멘 하여 하나님께 영광을 돌리게 되느니라 21우리를 너희와 함께 그리스도 안에서 견고케 하시고 우리에게 기름을 부으신 이는 하나님이시니 22저가 또한 우리에게 인치시고 보증으로 성령을 우리 마음에 주셨느니라 23내가 내 영혼을 두고 하나님을 불러 증거하시게 하노니 다시 고린도에 가지 아니한 것은 너희를 아끼려 함이라 24우리가 너희 믿음을 주관하려는 것이 아니요 오직 너희 기쁨을 돕는 자가 되려 함이니 이는 너희가 믿음에 섰음이라

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: 2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4who 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. 5For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ. 6But 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. 7Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort. 8For 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. 9Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead, 10who 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; 11you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf. 12For 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. 13For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end; 14as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus. 15In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit; 16and 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. 17When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?” 18But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.” 19For 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.” 20For 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. 21Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God; 22who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts. 23But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you. 24Not that we control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

1Paulus, een apostel van Jezus Christus, door den wil van God, en Timotheus, de broeder, aan de Gemeente Gods, die te Korinthe is, met al de heiligen, die in geheel Achaje zijn: 2Genade zij u en vrede van God, onzen Vader, en den Heere Jezus Christus. 3Geloofd zij de God en Vader van onzen Heere Jezus Christus, de Vader der barmhartigheden, en de God aller vertroosting; 4Die ons vertroost in al onze verdrukking, opdat wij zouden kunnen vertroosten degenen, die in allerlei verdrukking zijn, door de vertroosting, met welke wij zelven van God vertroost worden. 5Want gelijk het lijden van Christus overvloedig is in ons, alzo is ook door Christus onze vertroosting overvloedig. 6Doch hetzij dat wij verdrukt worden, het is tot uw vertroosting en zaligheid, die gewrocht wordt in de lijdzaamheid van hetzelfde lijden, hetwelk wij ook lijden; hetzij dat wij vertroost worden, het is tot uw vertroosting en zaligheid; 7En onze hoop van u is vast, als die weten, dat, gelijk gij gemeenschap hebt aan het lijden, gij ook alzo gemeenschap hebt aan de vertroosting. 8Want wij willen niet, broeders, dat gij onwetende zijt van onze verdrukking, die ons in Azie overkomen is, dat wij uitnemend zeer bezwaard zijn geweest boven onze macht, alzo dat wij zeer in twijfel waren, ook van het leven. 9Ja, wij hadden al zelven in onszelven het vonnis des doods, opdat wij niet op onszelven vertrouwen zouden, maar op God, Die de doden verwekt; 10Die ons uit zo groten dood verlost heeft, en nog verlost; op Welken wij hopen, dat Hij ons ook nog verlossen zal. 11Alzo gijlieden ook medearbeidt voor ons door het gebed, opdat over de gave, door vele personen aan ons teweeggebracht ook voor ons dankzegging door velen gedaan worde. 12Want onze roem is deze, namelijk de getuigenis van ons geweten, dat wij in eenvoudigheid en oprechtheid Gods, niet in vleselijke wijsheid, maar in de genade Gods, in de wereld verkeerd hebben, en allermeest bij ulieden. 13Want wij schrijven u geen andere dingen, dan die gij kent, of ook erkent; en ik hoop, dat gij ze ook tot het einde toe erkennen zult; 14Gelijkerwijs gij ook ten dele ons erkend hebt, dat wij uw roem zijn, gelijk gij ook de onze zijt, in den dag van den Heere Jezus. 15En op dit betrouwen wilde ik te voren tot u komen, opdat gij een tweede genade zoudt hebben; 16En door uw stad naar Macedonie gaan, en wederom van Macedonie tot u komen, en van ulieden naar Judea geleid worden. 17Als ik dan dit voorgenomen heb, heb ik ook lichtvaardigheid gebruikt? Of neem ik het naar het vlees voor, hetgeen ik voorneem, opdat bij mij zou wezen, ja, ja, en neen, neen? 18Doch God is getrouw, dat ons woord, hetwelk tot u is geschied, niet is geweest ja en neen. 19Want de Zoon van God, Jezus Christus, Die onder u door ons is gepredikt, namelijk door mij, en Silvanus, en Timotheus, was niet ja en neen, maar is geweest ja in Hem. 20Want zovele beloften Gods als er zijn, die zijn in Hem ja, en zijn in Hem amen, Gode tot heerlijkheid door ons. 21Maar Die ons met u bevestigt in Christus, en Die ons gezalfd heeft, is God; 22Die ons ook heeft verzegeld, en het onderpand des Geestes in onze harten gegeven. 23Doch ik aanroepe God tot een Getuige over mijn ziel, dat ik, om u te sparen, nog te Korinthe niet ben gekomen. 24Niet dat wij heerschappij voeren over uw geloof, maar wij zijn medewerkers uwer blijdschap; want gij staat door het geloof.
