2CO 01:01 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,

and Timothy [our] brother, unto the church of God which is at

Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

2CO 01:02 Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and

[from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

2CO 01:03 Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

2CO 01:04 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may

be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort

wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

2CO 01:05 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our

consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

2CO 01:06 And whether we be afflicted, [it is] for your

consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of

the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be

comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation.

2CO 01:07 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye

are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the

consolation.

2CO 01:08 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our

trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of

measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

2CO 01:09 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we

should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

2CO 01:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth

deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us];

2CO 01:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for

the gift [bestowed] upon us by the means of many persons thanks

may be given by many on our behalf.

2CO 01:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our

conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with

fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our

conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you ward.

2CO 01:13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye

read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to

the end;

2CO 01:14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are

your rejoicing, even as ye also [are] ours in the day of the

Lord Jesus.

2CO 01:15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you

before, that ye might have a second benefit;

2CO 01:16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again

out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way

toward Judaea.

2CO 01:17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness?

or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the

flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

2CO 01:18 But [as] God [is] true, our word toward you was not

yea and nay.

2CO 01:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached

among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was

not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

2CO 01:20 For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in

him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

2CO 01:21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and

hath anointed us, [is] God;

2CO 01:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the

Spirit in our hearts.

2CO 01:23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to

spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

2CO 01:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are

helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

2CO 02:01 But I determined this with myself, that I would not

come again to you in heaviness.

2CO 02:02 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me

glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

2CO 02:03 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I

should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having

confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all.

2CO 02:04 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I

wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved,

but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly

unto you.

2CO 02:05 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me,

but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

2CO 02:06 Sufficient to such a man [is] this punishment, which

[was inflicted] of many.

2CO 02:07 So that contrariwise ye [ought] rather to forgive

[him], and comfort [him], lest perhaps such a one should be

swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

2CO 02:08 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm [your]

love toward him.

2CO 02:09 For to this end also did I write, that I might know

the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

2CO 02:10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I [forgive] also: for if

I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave [it], for your sakes

[forgave I it] in the person of Christ;

2CO 02:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are

not ignorant of his devices.

2CO 02:12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to [preach] Christ's

gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

2CO 02:13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus

my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into

Macedonia.

2CO 02:14 Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to

triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his

knowledge by us in every place.

2CO 02:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them

that are saved, and in them that perish:

2CO 02:16 To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death;

and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is]

sufficient for these things?

2CO 02:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God:

but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we

in Christ.

2CO 03:01 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as

some [others], epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of

commendation from you?

2CO 03:02 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and

read of all men:

2CO 03:03 [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the

epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but

with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but

in fleshly tables of the heart.

2CO 03:04 And such trust have we through Christ to God ward:

2CO 03:05 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any

thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;

2CO 03:06 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new

testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter

killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

2CO 03:07 But if the ministration of death, written [and]

engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel

could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of

his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away:

2CO 03:08 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather

glorious?

2CO 03:09 For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory,

much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

2CO 03:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in

this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

2CO 03:11 For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much

more that which remaineth [is] glorious.

2CO 03:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great

plainness of speech:

2CO 03:13 And not as Moses, [which] put a veil over his face,

that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end

of that which is abolished:

2CO 03:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day

remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old

testament; which [veil] is done away in Christ.

2CO 03:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil

is upon their heart.

2CO 03:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil

shall be taken away.

2CO 03:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of

the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.

2CO 03:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the

glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to

glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2CO 04:01 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have

received mercy, we faint not;

2CO 04:02 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.

2CO 04:03 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are

lost:

2CO 04:04 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds

of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel

of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

2CO 04:05 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord;

and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

2CO 04:06 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of

darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the

knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

2CO 04:07 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the

excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

2CO 04:08 [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed;

[we are] perplexed, but not in despair;

2CO 04:09 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not

destroyed;

2CO 04:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord

Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our

body.

2CO 04:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for

Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest

in our mortal flesh.

2CO 04:12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

2CO 04:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is

written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also

believe, and therefore speak;

2CO 04:14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall

raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.

2CO 04:15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant

grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the

glory of God.

2CO 04:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward

man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.

2CO 04:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment,

worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of

glory;

2CO 04:18 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.

2CO 05:01 For we know that if our earthly house of [this]

tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house

not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2CO 05:02 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed

upon with our house which is from heaven:

2CO 05:03 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found

naked.

2CO 05:04 For we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being

burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon,

that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

2CO 05:05 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing

[is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

2CO 05:06 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that,

whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

2CO 05:07 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

2CO 05:08 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be

absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

2CO 05:09 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent,

we may be accepted of him.

2CO 05:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of

Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his]

body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or

bad.

2CO 05:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade

men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are

made manifest in your consciences.

2CO 05:12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give

you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat

to [answer] them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

2CO 05:13 For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or

whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause.

2CO 05:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we

thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

2CO 05:15 And [that] he died for all, that they which live

should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which

died for them, and rose again.

2CO 05:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh:

yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now

henceforth know we [him] no more.

2CO 05:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new

creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are

become new.

2CO 05:18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to

himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of

reconciliation;

2CO 05:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world

unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath

committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

2CO 05:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God

did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye

reconciled to God.

2CO 05:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no

sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

2CO 06:01 We then, [as] workers together [with him], beseech

[you] also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

2CO 06:02 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted,

and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now

[is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)

2CO 06:03 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be

not blamed:

2CO 06:04 But in all [things] approving ourselves as the

ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in

necessities, in distresses,

2CO 06:05 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours,

in watchings, in fastings;

2CO 06:06 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by

kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

2CO 06:07 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the

armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

2CO 06:08 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good

report: as deceivers, and [yet] true;

2CO 06:09 As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and,

behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

2CO 06:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making

many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.

2CO 06:11 O [ye] Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our

heart is enlarged.

2CO 06:12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in

your own bowels.

2CO 06:13 Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as unto

[my] children,) be ye also enlarged.

2CO 06:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:

for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and

what communion hath light with darkness?

2CO 06:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part

hath he that believeth with an infidel?

2CO 06:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?

for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I

will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God,

and they shall be my people.

2CO 06:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,

saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will

receive you,

2CO 06:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons

and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

2CO 07:01 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let

us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,

perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2CO 07:02 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted

no man, we have defrauded no man.

2CO 07:03 I speak not [this] to condemn [you]: for I have said

before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with [you].

2CO 07:04 Great [is] my boldness of speech toward you, great

[is] my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am

exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

2CO 07:05 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had

no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without [were]

fightings, within [were] fears.

2CO 07:06 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast

down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

2CO 07:07 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation

wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest

desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I

rejoiced the more.

2CO 07:08 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not

repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same

epistle hath made you sorry, though [it were] but for a season.

2CO 07:09 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that

ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly

manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

2CO 07:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not

to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

2CO 07:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after

a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, [what]

clearing of yourselves, yea, [what] indignation, yea, [what]

fear, yea, [what] vehement desire, yea, [what] zeal, yea, [what]

revenge! In all [things] ye have approved yourselves to be clear

in this matter.

2CO 07:12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, [I did it] not for

his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that

suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God

might appear unto you.

2CO 07:13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and

exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his

spirit was refreshed by you all.

2CO 07:14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am

not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so

our boasting, which [I made] before Titus, is found a truth.

2CO 07:15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you,

whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear

and trembling ye received him.

2CO 07:16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in

all [things].

2CO 08:01 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of

God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

2CO 08:02 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance

of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of

their liberality.

2CO 08:03 For to [their] power, I bear record, yea, and beyond

[their] power [they were] willing of themselves;

2CO 08:04 Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive

the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering

to the saints.

2CO 08:05 And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave

their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

2CO 08:06 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun,

so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

2CO 08:07 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.

2CO 08:08 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the

forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

2CO 08:09 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,

though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye

through his poverty might be rich.

2CO 08:10 And herein I give [my] advice: for this is expedient

for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be

forward a year ago.

2CO 08:11 Now therefore perform the doing [of it]; that as

[there was] a readiness to will, so [there may be] a performance

also out of that which ye have.

2CO 08:12 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.

2CO 08:13 For [I mean] not that other men be eased, and ye

burdened:

2CO 08:14 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:

2CO 08:15 As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had

nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no lack.

2CO 08:16 But thanks [be] to God, which put the same earnest

care into the heart of Titus for you.

2CO 08:17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more

forward, of his own accord he went unto you.

2CO 08:18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise

[is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;

2CO 08:19 And not [that] only, but who was also chosen of the

churches to travel with us with this grace, which is

administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and

[declaration of] your ready mind:

2CO 08:20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this

abundance which is administered by us:

2CO 08:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of

the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

2CO 08:22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have

oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more

diligent, upon the great confidence which [I have] in you.

2CO 08:23 Whether [any do inquire] of Titus, [he is] my partner

and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren [be inquired of,

they are] the messengers of the churches, [and] the glory of

Christ.

2CO 08:24 Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches,

the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

2CO 09:01 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is

superfluous for me to write to you:

2CO 09:02 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I

boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year

ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.

2CO 09:03 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you

should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be

ready:

2CO 09:04 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find

you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in

this same confident boasting.

2CO 09:05 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the

brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up before

hand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same

might be ready, as [a matter of] bounty, and not as [of]

covetousness.

2CO 09:06 But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap

also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also

bountifully.

2CO 09:07 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so

let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a

cheerful giver.

2CO 09:08 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:

2CO 09:09 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath

given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

2CO 09:10 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;)

2CO 09:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness,

which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

2CO 09:12 For the administration of this service not only

supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many

thanksgivings unto God;

2CO 09:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they

glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of

Christ, and for [your] liberal distribution unto them, and unto

all [men];

2CO 09:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for

the exceeding grace of God in you.

2CO 09:15 Thanks [be] unto God for his unspeakable gift.

2CO 10:01 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and

gentleness of Christ, who in presence [am] base among you, but

being absent am bold toward you:

2CO 10:02 But I beseech [you], that I may not be bold when I am

present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold

against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the

flesh.

2CO 10:03 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after

the flesh:

2CO 10:04 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but

mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

2CO 10:05 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that

exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into

captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

2CO 10:06 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience,

when your obedience is fulfilled.

2CO 10:07 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If

any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself

think this again, that, as he [is] Christ's, even so [are] we

Christ's.

2CO 10:08 For though I should boast somewhat more of our

authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not

for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

2CO 10:09 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by

letters.

2CO 10:10 For [his] letters, say they, [are] weighty and

powerful; but [his] bodily presence [is] weak, and [his] speech

contemptible.

2CO 10:11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in

word by letters when we are absent, such [will we be] also in

deed when we are present.

2CO 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or

compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they

measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves

among themselves, are not wise.

2CO 10:13 But we will not boast of things without [our] measure,

but according to the measure of the rule which God hath

distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.

2CO 10:14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond [our measure], as

though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you

also in [preaching] the gospel of Christ:

2CO 10:15 Not boasting of things without [our] measure, [that

is], of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is

increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our

rule abundantly,

2CO 10:16 To preach the gospel in the [regions] beyond you,

[and] not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to

our hand.

2CO 10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

2CO 10:18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but

whom the Lord commendeth.

2CO 11:01 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in [my]

folly: and indeed bear with me.

2CO 11:02 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I

have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a

chaste virgin to Christ.

2CO 11:03 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled

Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from

the simplicity that is in Christ.

2CO 11:04 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we

have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye

have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted,

ye might well bear with [him].

2CO 11:05 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very

chiefest apostles.

2CO 11:06 But though [I be] rude in speech, yet not in knowledge;

but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all

things.

2CO 11:07 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye

might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of

God freely?

2CO 11:08 I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them], to do

you service.

2CO 11:09 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was

chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the

brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all [things]

I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and [so] will

I keep [myself].

2CO 11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me

of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

2CO 11:11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

2CO 11:12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off

occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they

glory, they may be found even as we.

2CO 11:13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers,

transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

2CO 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into

an angel of light.

2CO 11:15 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.

2CO 11:16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise,

yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

2CO 11:17 That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord,

but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

2CO 11:18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory

also.

2CO 11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are

wise.

2CO 11:20 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.

2CO 11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been

weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I

am bold also.

2CO 11:22 Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so

[am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I.

2CO 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I

[am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure,

in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

2CO 11:24 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save

one.

2CO 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned,

thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in

the deep;

2CO 11:26 [In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in]

perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in]

perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in

the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false

brethren;

2CO 11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in

hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

2CO 11:28 Beside those things that are without, that which

cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

2CO 11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I

burn not?

2CO 11:30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things

which concern mine infirmities.

2CO 11:31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is

blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

2CO 11:32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept

the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to

apprehend me:

2CO 11:33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the

wall, and escaped his hands.

2CO 12:01 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will

come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2CO 12:02 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,

(whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body,

I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third

heaven.

2CO 12:03 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of

the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

2CO 12:04 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard

unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

2CO 12:05 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not

glory, but in mine infirmities.

2CO 12:06 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a

fool; for I will say the truth: but [now] I forbear, lest any

man should think of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or

[that] he heareth of me.

2CO 12:07 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the

abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in

the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be

exalted above measure.

2CO 12:08 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it

might depart from me.

2CO 12:09 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:

for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly

therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power

of Christ may rest upon me.

2CO 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in

reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for

Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

2CO 12:11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me:

for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I

behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.

2CO 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you

in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

2CO 12:13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other

churches, except [it be] that I myself was not burdensome to

you? forgive me this wrong.

2CO 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and

I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you:

for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the

parents for the children.

2CO 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you;

though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

2CO 12:16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless,

being crafty, I caught you with guile.

2CO 12:17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent

unto you?

2CO 12:18 I desired Titus, and with [him] I sent a brother. Did

Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit?

[walked we] not in the same steps?

2CO 12:19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we

speak before God in Christ: but [we do] all things, dearly

beloved, for your edifying.

2CO 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you

such as I would, and [that] I shall be found unto you such as ye

would not: lest [there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes,

backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

2CO 12:21 [And] lest, when I come again, my God will humble me

among you, and [that] I shall bewail many which have sinned

already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and

fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

2CO 13:01 This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In the

mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

2CO 13:02 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were

present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them

which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come

again, I will not spare:

2CO 13:03 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which

to you ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

2CO 13:04 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he

liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we

shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

2CO 13:05 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove

your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus

Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

2CO 13:06 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not

reprobates.

2CO 13:07 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.

2CO 13:08 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the

truth.

2CO 13:09 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong:

and this also we wish, [even] your perfection.

2CO 13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest

being present I should use sharpness, according to the power

which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to

destruction.

2CO 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good

comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and

peace shall be with you.

2CO 13:12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.

2CO 13:13 All the saints salute you.

2CO 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of

God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, [be] with you all.

Amen.
