Bible, Ethician Version
2 Corinthians
2Cor.1
[2] Grace be to
you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
[3] Blessed be the God of all comfort;
2Cor.4
[2] But have
renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor
handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth
commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
[8] We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed,
but not in despair;
[9] Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
[18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things
which are not seen are eternal.
2Cor.6
[10] As sorrowful,
yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet
possessing all things.
2Cor.7
[2] Receive us;
we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
2Cor.8
[2] How that in a
great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty
abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
[7] Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and
knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in
this grace also.
[12] For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to
that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
[13] For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
[14] But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a
supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want:
that there may be equality:
2Cor.9
[6] But this I
say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth
bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
[7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give;
not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
[8] And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always
having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
[9] (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the
poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
[10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for
your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your
righteousness;)
[11] Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth
through us thanksgiving to God.
2Cor.11
[13] For such are
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of
Christ.
[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of
light.
[15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed
as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
[20] For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour
you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the
face.
2Cor.13
[7] Now I pray to
God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should
do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
[8] For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
