1 Corinthians 16:11  2 Corinthians 1:11

11 Let no one therefore adespise him, but bsend him forward in cpeace that he may come to me; for I am awaiting him with the brothers.

12 And 1concerning our brother aApollos, 2I urged him many times to come to you with the brothers; yet it was 2not at all his desire to come now, but he bwill come when he has opportunity.

13 aWatch, 1bstand firm in the 2cfaith, be 3dfull-grown men, be estrong.

14 Let all your matters be done in 1alove.

15 Now I exhort you, brothers: You know the household of aStephanas, that it is the bfirstfruits of cAchaia, and they have set themselves to minister to the dsaints;

16 You also be asubject to such ones, and to everyone co-working and blaboring.

17 Now I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these have afilled up the lack caused by your absence;

18 For they 1arefreshed my 2bspirit and yours. cAcknowledge therefore such ones.

19 The achurches of bAsia greet you. cAquila and Prisca greet you much in the Lord, with the 1church, which is in their dhouse.

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

21 1The greeting in my own ahand — Paul.

22 If anyone does not alove the Lord, let him be 1baccursed! 2The cLord comes!

23 The 1agrace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

24 My 1alove in Christ Jesus be with you all.

CHAPTER 1

1 Paul, an aapostle of Christ Jesus through the 1will of God, and bTimothy the brother, to the 2cchurch of God which is 3in Corinth, 4with all the saints who are in the whole of 5dAchaia:

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

3 aBlessed be the bGod and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of 1compassions and God of all 2ccomfort;

4 Who acomforts us in all our baffliction that we may be 1able to comfort those who are in every affliction through the ccomforting with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 For even as the 1asufferings of 2the Christ abound unto us, so through 2the Christ our comfort also abounds.

6 But whether we are aafflicted, it is for your comforting and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comforting, which operates in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

7 And our hope for you is firm, knowing that as you are partakers of the asufferings, so also you are of the comfort.

8 For we do not want you to be aignorant, brothers, of our affliction which befell us in bAsia, that we were excessively 1cburdened, beyond ourpower, so that we 2ddespaired even of 3living.

9 1Indeed we ourselves had the 2response of adeath in ourselves, that we should bnot base our cconfidence on ourselves but don 3God, who eraises the dead;

10 Who has adelivered us out of so great a death, and 1will deliver us; in whom we have bhoped that He will also yet deliver us,

11 If you also 1help in this by apetition on our behalf, that for the 2gift to us through many, bthanks may be given by many 3persons on our behalf.
