2 Corinthians
Confession is good for your soul. I thank God that he has comforts me in all my trouble, so that I also may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble. Christ suffering abound in me, so my consolation also abound in Christ Jesus. I am partaker of the suffering, and of the consolation too. I thanks God that we the church of God, one for another we are pride and joy in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. Blessing be the name of the Lord, for all the promises of God were in Christ, yes; by his hand I give Amen to the glory of God. God confirmed my brethren with me in Christ Jesus, and he has anointed me, and sealed me, and pledged his Spirit in my heart. My God is the chief master of my faith, and those Christians you have place in my life are helper of my joy, for by faith I stand. My brethren is the one who make me happy and joyful, and my joy is the joy of all of them too. In the presence of Jesus Christ and for the sake of my brethren I say, If they forgive and comfort a person whom they have rebuked for his or her evil doer which he or she has done, I also forgive them. I thanks God that he has made me one with the church in the pattern of Christ Jesus, and he makes manifest the savior of his knowledge through me in every place.
For I am a sweet savour to God through Jesus Christ, in those who are saved and in those who perish; for I am like those who according to the truth speak the word of God, and as man of God I speak through Jesus Christ in the sight of God. I am the epistle of Christ ministered by brethren, written with the Spirit of the living God, on a tablets of the living heart. Such is the trust I have through Jesus Christ toward God. My strength comes from God. I am worthy to be minister of the new covenant of the Spirit that gives life. I have hope that the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory and much more glorious is it which I endure. I conduct myself bravely knowing that my Lord is that Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is (the Spirit of the Lord abide in my heart) there is liberty. Therefore I have liberty in Christ Jesus my Lord. I abide by his word and I know the truth (the word), and that very truth has make me free. I have an open faces to see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, and I am transformed into the same likeness of Jesus Christ. Transformed by the renewed of my mind, I have the mind of Christ and I discern all things because the Spirit teach me. I do not get tire of the ministry in which God has place on me. God's light shine in my heart enlightened me with the knowledge of the glory of him in the person of Jesus Christ. I have this treasure in earthen vessel, which is God excellency of power.
If I be distressed in every way, I shall not be overwhelmed; If I be harassed on all sides, I shall not be conquered; If I be persecuted, I shall not be forsaken; If I be cast down, I shall not be destroyed; because I bear in my body the death of Jesus Christ, so that the life of Jesus Christ might be made manifest in my mortal body. If I am delivered to death for Jesus Christ's sake, so also will the life of Jesus Christ shall be manifest in my mortal body. If death is closer to me, then life is near to me. I believe, therefore I also speak. God has raise me up by Jesus Christ and he present me with the brethren. For this reason, I do not grow tire; for though my outward man perish, yet my inner man is renewed day by day. For the troubles of the present time are little and light, a great and limitless glory for ever and ever is prepared for me. I rejoice in the things which are not seen because they are eternal. I have a building made by God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. I walk by faith and not by sight. I fear the Lord by trying in a persuasive way to win men. God's love compels me to reason this; that Christ died for me, and I was dead; for this time forward I live for him who died and rose for me. I don't know any one in the bodies for now on I am a follower of Christ, a new creation; old things have passed away; and all things have become new through God who has reconciled me to himself by Jesus Christ and has given to me the ministry of reconciliation. I am an ambassador for Christ. For he (Jesus Christ) who did not know sin, for my sake made himself sin, that I may through him be made the righteousness of God. Therefore through Jesus Christ I am made the righteousness of God. The grace of God which I have received is not in vain in my life. For God has answer me in an acceptable time, and he has help me on the day of salvation; Now is the acceptable time; also now is the day of salvation. I give no occasion for offense to any one in anything, so that there be no blemish in my ministry; In all things I show myself to be the minister of God in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in imprisonment, In scourgings, in bonds, in tumults, in toilings, in vigils, in fastings; By purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, By honour and dishonour, by praise and reproach, as deceiver, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, I live; as chastened, and not dying; As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. I render to my brethren my reward which is with me, and I increase my love toward them. I thanks God that I have united in marriage with a believer, my wife and I, we are righteousness and we are walking in the light. Christ is in our life and we associate with believers who are humble in spirit. Our body is the temple of the living God and he dwell and walk in us. God is our God and we are his children. I have come out from among people who are living a life of iniquity; They are unbeliever, who dwell in darkness, who worship idols, and who their Father is Satan. The Lord Almighty has said, he is my Father and I am his son. having these promises, I have cleanse myself from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and I serve in holiness in the reverence of God. I wrong no man, neither corrupted no man, nor I have defrauded no man. My brethren is in my heart, to die and live with them. I speak boldly with my brethren, and I am very proud of them; I am filled with satisfaction, and I am overwhelmed with joy in all my troubles. Thanks God that he comfort me, I am meek. Sorrow over the things of God will cause enduring repentance of the souls, and brings people to life. The things which distressed me on account of God has resulted much more in painstaking effort, in apology, anger, fear, love, zeal, and vengeance. In all things I have proved myself clear in this matter. I abounded to the riches of my liberality, to my power and beyond my power I have share of mine own accord, so I can be partakers in the gift for the ministration to the saints. I give myself first to the Lord, and then to the church by the will of God. I abound in every thing, in faith, in the word of God, in knowledge, in all perseverance, and by my love toward the brethren.
I have a willingness to give according to that which I have, and my gift will be acceptable. There is on me and my brethren an equality, that my abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for my want, that there may be equality. For it is written, He who has gathered much had nothing over; and he who had gathered little had no lack. For I am very careful to do the right thing, not only in the presence of God, but also in the presence of men. According to what I have decided in my mind, I give generously with a cheer heart. God makes all goodness abound to me. God who gives seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply my seed (to have enough of everything for myself, and to give to the saints), and he cause the fruits of my righteousness to grow, and I be enriched in everything, in all liberality; (I abound in every good work). I scorn (refuse or reject) those men who regard me as if I lived after the flesh. For though I do live an earthly life, yet I do not serve worldly things. I conquer rebellious strongholds with the weapons of the might of God (his word). I cast down all my imaginations, and every false thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and I have capture every thought of mine to the obedience of Christ. vengeance will be serve on those who are disobedient because my obedience is fulfilled. I am not a burden to any man, for I supply my own needs. If I take supplies from churches to give to another church I will do so to help and to supply their needs.
I am able and willing, ready to labor for the Lord, even to suffer wound, imprisonments, danger of death, scourge or beaten, stone, danger of shipwreck, danger of river, danger of robbers, danger of people, danger on my own kinsmen, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger in the sea, danger from false brethren; toil, and weariness, sleepless nights, hunger and thirst, through much fasting, cold and nakedness. even to take care the churches of God. I will boast of my suffering and weakness. When I am physically weak then God's strength is made perfect in me and I become spiritually strong. His grace is what I need. I gladly boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I am content with infirmities, insults, hardship, persecutions, and imprisonments for Christ's sake. I am under obligation to lay up treasure for my children. Therefore I lay treasure for my children. I pay all my expenses, and I will even give myself for the sake of the brethren souls; As I am weak with Christ, so I am alive with him by the power of God who is within me. I has examine myself and I have the same faith; I have heal my souls, Jesus Christ is in me. I will be found doing good things for the glory of God. For we cannot do anything against the truth, but for the truth. I can do anything for the truth. when I deal with my brethren harshly it will be according to the authority which my Lord has given me for their edification. I rejoice and I am perfect in love. I am of good comfort and of one mind with my brethren.
I live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with me. Amen.
