G3588–ὁ–ho

Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.

ὁ ho “the”τῇ tēa “To the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῇ tēa “which”τοῖς tois “the”τοῖς tois “who”τῇ tēa “<the>”

Blessed [ergänzt: be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “of the”ὁ ho “the”τῶν tōn “<the>”

who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.

ὁ ho “who”τῇ tēa “the”τὸ to “<the>”τοὺς tous “those”τῆς tēs “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.

τὰ ta “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”ἡ hē “the”

But whether we are in tribulation, [ergänzt: it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which *we* also suffer,

τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “which”τῶν tōn “of the”

(and our hope for you [ergänzt: is] sure;) or whether we are encouraged, [ergänzt: it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.

ἡ hē “the”τῶν tōn “of the”τῆς tēs “of the”

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [ergänzt: to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [ergänzt: our] power, so as to despair even of living.

τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῇ tēa “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “who”τοὺς tous “the”

ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.

τῇ tēa “<the>”τὸ to “for the”

For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace,) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.

ἡ hē “<the>”τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῷ tō “the”

even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as *ye* [ergänzt: are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;

τῇ tēa “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.

τὴν tēn “<the>”

Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?

τῇ tēa “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

Now God [ergänzt: is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “<the>”

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea *is* in him.

ὁ ho “The”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “the [One]”

For whatever promises of God [ergänzt: there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.

τὸ to “[is] the”τὸ to “the”τῷ tō “<the>”

Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [ergänzt: is] God,

ὁ ho “The [One]”

who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

ὁ ho “the [One]”τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “of the”ταῖς tais “the”

But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

τὸν ton “<the>”τὴν tēn “<the>”

Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “of the”τῇ tēa “in the”

But I have judged this with myself, not to come back to you in grief.

τὸ to “<the>”

For if *I* grieve you, who also [ergänzt: is] it that gladdens me, if not he that is grieved through me?

ὁ ho “the [one]”ὁ ho “the [one]”

And I have written this very [ergänzt: letter] [ergänzt: to you], that coming I may not have grief from those from whom I ought to have joy; trusting in you all that my joy is [ergänzt: that] of you all.

ἡ hē “<the>”

For out of much tribulation and distress of heart I wrote to you, with many tears; not that ye may be grieved, but that ye may know the love which I have very abundantly towards you.

τὴν tēn “the”
