Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, brother, to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all saints that be in all Achaia,
But God is true, for our word that was at you, is and is not, is not therein, but is is in it, [or there is not in it yea and nay/there is not in it is and nay, but is, that is truth, is in it].
For I pray you, that lest I present be not bold [or not hardy] by the trust, in which I am guessed to be bold [or hardy] into some, that deem us, as if we wander after the flesh.
But I dread, lest when I come, I shall not find you such as I will, and I shall be found of you such as ye will not; lest peradventure strivings, envies, indignations, dissensions and detractions, privy speeches of discord, swellings by pride, debates be among you;
Therefore I absent write these things, that I present do not harder, by the power, which the Lord gave to me into edification, and not into your destruction.
I said before, and say before, as present twice, and now absent, to them that before have sinned, and to all others; for if I come again, I shall not spare.
