ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

2CO 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,

and Timothy our

*3972 *0652 *2424 *5547 *2307

*2316 *5095

brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with

all the

*0080 *1577 *2316 *3588 *1722 *2882

*3956

saints which are in all Achaia:

*0040 *3588 *3650 *0882

2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the

Lord Jesus

*5485 *1515 *2316 *3962

*2962 *2424

Christ.

*5547

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the

Father of

*2128 *2316 *2532 *3962 *2962 *2424 *5547

*3962

mercies, and the God of all comfort;

*3628 *2316 *3650 *3874

4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be

able to

*3588 *3870 *3650 *2347

*1410

comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort

wherewith we

*3870 *3956 *2347 *3874

*3739

ourselves are comforted of God.

*3870 *2316

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our

consolation also

*3804 *5547 *4052 *3779

*3874 *2532

aboundeth by Christ.

*4052 *5547

6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and

salvation,

*1535 *2346 *5216 *3874

*4991

which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which

we also

*3588 *1754 *5281 *0846 *3804

*3588 *2532

suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your

consolation and

*3958 *1535 *1535 *3870 *5216 *3874

salvation.

*4991

7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are

partakers of the

*1680 *0949 *1492

*2844

sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

*3804 *3779 *2532 *3874

8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble

which came

*2309 *0080 *0050 *2347

*3588 *1096

to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above

strength,

*0773 *0916 *5236 *5228

*1411

insomuch that we despaired even of life:

*5620 *1820 *2532 *2198

9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we

should not trust

*2192 *0610 *2288 *1438

*3982

in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

*1438 *2316 *3588 *1453 *3498

10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver:

in whom we

*4506 *5082 *5082 *2288 *4506

*3739

trust that he will yet deliver us;

*1679 *2089 *4506

11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift

bestowed

*2532 *4943 *4943 *1162

*5486

upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by

many on our

*4183 *4383 *2168

*4183 *5228

behalf.

*5228

12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience,

that in

*2746 *3778 *3142 *4893

simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by

the grace

*0572 *2316 *1505 *4559 *4678

*5485

of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more

abundantly to

*2316 *0390 *2889 *4056

*4056

you-ward.

*5209

13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or

*1125 *3756 *0243 *3739

*0314 *2228

acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

*1921 *1679 *1921 *2532

*5056

14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your

rejoicing,

*2532 *1922 *3313

*5216 *2745

even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

*2509 *2532 *2257 *2250 *2962 *2424

15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before,

that ye

*5026 *4006 *1014 *2064

*4386

might have a second benefit;

*2192 *1208 *5485

16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of

Macedonia

*1330 *1519 *3109 *2064 *3825

*3109

unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.

*4311 *4311 *1519 *2449

17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or

the things

*3767 *5124 *1011 *5530 *1644

*2228

that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with

me there

*1011 *1011 *2596 *4561

should be yea yea, and nay nay?

*3483 *3483 *3756 *3756

18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and

nay.

*2316 *4103 *3056 *4314 *3483

*3756

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among

you by us,

*5207 *2316 *2424 *5547 *3588 *2784

*1722

even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay,

but in him was

*4610 *5095 *3483

*3756

yea.

*3483

20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him

Amen, unto the

*3745 *1860 *2316 *3483

*0281

glory of God by us.

*1391 *2316

21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath

anointed us,

*1161 *0950 *5547

*5548

is God;

*2316

22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the

Spirit in our

*3588 *2532 *4972 *1325 *0728

*4151

hearts.

*2588

23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to

spare you I came

*1161 *1941 *2316 *3144 *5590

*5339 *2064

not as yet unto Corinth.

*3765 *2882

24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are

helpers of your

*2961 *5216 *4102

*4904 *5216

joy: for by faith ye stand.

*5479 *4102 *2476

2:1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come

again to you in

*2919 *5124 *1683

*2064 *3825

heaviness.

*3077

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

glad, but the

*1487 *3076 *3076 *5101 *2532 *2165

*2165

same which is made sorry by me?

*3076 *3076

3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should

have sorrow

*1125 *5124 *0846 *3361 *2064

*2192 *3077

from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you

all, that my

*3739 *1163 *5463 *3982

*3956

joy is the joy of you all.

*5479 *3956

4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto

you with

*4183 *2347 *4928 *2588 *1125

many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might

know the love

*4183 *1144 *3076

*1097 *0026

which I have more abundantly unto you.

*3739 *2192 *4056 *4056

5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but

in part:

*1487 *5100 *3076 *3076 *3076

*3313

that I may not overcharge you all.

*1912 *3956

6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was

inflicted of many.

*2425 *5108 *3778 *2009 *3588

*4119

7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and

comfort him,

*5620 *5121 *3123 *5483

*3870

lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch

sorrow.

*3381 *3381 *5108 *2666 *4055

*3077

8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love

toward him.

*1352 *3870 *2964 *0026

*1519

9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof

of you,

*5124 *2532 *1125 *1097

*1382

whether ye be obedient in all things.

*1487 *5255 *3956

10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I

forgave any

*3739 *5483 *5100 *5483 *2532

*1487 *5483 *1536

thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the

person of

*3739 *5483 *5209

*4383

Christ;

*5547

11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not

ignorant of

*3361 *4567 *4122 *4122

*0050

his devices.

*3540

12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel,

and a door

*1161 *2064 *5174 *5547

*2098 *2374

was opened unto me of the Lord,

*0455 *2962

13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my

brother: but

*2192 *3756 *0425 *4151 *2147

*5103 *0080

taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

*0657 *1831 *1519 *3109

14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph

in Christ,

*1161 *5485 *2316 *3842 *2358

*2358 *5547

and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every

place.

*5319 *5319 *3744 *1108

*3956 *5117

15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that

are saved,

*2316 *2175 *2175 *5547

*4982

and in them that perish:

*0622

16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to

the other the

*3303 *3744 *2288 *2288

*3739

savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these

things?

*3744 *2222 *2222 *5101 *2425 *5023

17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but

as of

*4183 *2585 *3056 *2316

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

Christ.

*1505 *2316 *2714 *2316 *2980

*5547

3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as

some others,

*0756 *3825 *4921 *1438 *3361 *5535

*5100

epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation

from you?

*1992 *4956 *2228 *4956

2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of

all men:

*1992 *1449 *2588 *1097 *0314

*3956 *0444

3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of

Christ

*5319 *5319 *1992

*5547

ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of

the living

*1247 *1449 *3188 *4151

*2198

God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

*2316 *4109 *3035 *4560 *4109

*2588

4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

*5108 *4006 *2192 *1223 *5547 *2316

5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing

as of

*2425 *1438 *3049 *5100

ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

*1438 *2426 *2316

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament;

not of the

*3739 *2532 *2427 *2427 *1249 *2537 *1242

letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the

spirit giveth

*1121 *4151 *1121 *0615

*4151

life.

*2227

7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in

stones, was

*1487 *1248 *2288 *1121 *1795

*3037

glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly

behold the

*1391 *5620 *5207 *2474 *1410 *0816

*0816

face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was

to be done

*4383 *3475 *1391 *4383 *3588

*1391 *2763

away:

*2673

8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather

glorious?

*4459 *1248 *4151 *3123

*1391

9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more

doth the

*1487 *1248 *2633 *1391 *4183

*3123

ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

*1248 *1343 *4052 *1391

10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this

respect, by

*2532 *1392 *1392 *3761 *1392

*5129 *3313

reason of the glory that excelleth.

*1752 *1391 *5235

11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more

that which

*1487 *2763 *2673 *1391 *4183

*3123

remaineth is glorious.

*3306 *1391

12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness

of speech:

*3767 *2192 *5108 *1680 *5530 *4183

*3954

13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the

children of

*3475 *5087 *2571 *1909 *4383

*5207

Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is

abolished:

*2474 *0816 *0816 *5056

*2673

14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth

the same

*3540 *4456 *0891 *4594 *4594 *3306

*0846

vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which

vail is done

*2571 *0343 *0343 *0320 *3820 *1242

*3748 *2763

away in Christ.

*2673 *5547

15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon

their heart.

*2193 *4594 *4594 *2259 *3475 *0314 *2571

*2588

16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall

be taken

*1161 *2259 *1994 *2962 *2571

*4014

away.

*4014

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the

Lord is, there

*1161 *2962 *4151 *3757 *4151

*2962 *1563

is liberty.

*1657

18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory

of the Lord,

*3956 *0343 *4383 *2734 *2734

*1391 *2962

are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by

the Spirit

*3339 *0846 *1504 *1391 *1391

*4151

of the LORD.

*2962

4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received

mercy, we

*5124 *2192 *5026 *1248

*1653 *1653

faint not;

*1573

2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not

walking in

*0550 *2927 *0152

*4043

craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by

*3834 *3366 *1389 *3056 *2316 *1389

manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's

conscience

*5321 *0225 *4921 *1438 *3956

*0444 *4893

in the sight of God.

*1799 *2316

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

*1499 *2098 *2572 *2572

*0622

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them

which

*3739 *2316 *5127 *0165 *5186 *3540

believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,

who is the

*0571 *3361 *5462 *1391 *2098

*5547 *3739

image of God, should shine unto them.

*1504 *2316 *0826

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and

ourselves

*2784 *1438 *5547 *2424 *2962

*1438

your servants for Jesus' sake.

*5216 *1401 *2424

6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,

hath shined

*2316 *3588 *2036 *5457 *2989 *4655

*2989

in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory

of God in

*2588 *5462 *1108

*1391 *2316

the face of Jesus Christ.

*4383 *2424 *5547

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the

excellency of the

*2192 *5126 *2344 *3749 *4632

*5236

power may be of God, and not of us.

*1411 *2316

8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are

perplexed,

*2346 *1722 *3956 *0235 *4729

*0639

but not in despair;

*1820

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

*1377 *1459 *2598 *2598 *0622

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,

that the

*3842 *4064 *4064 *4983 *3500 *2962

*2424

life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

*2222 *2532 *2424 *5319 *5319 *4983

11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus'

sake, that

*3588 *2198 *0104 *3860 *2288

*2424

the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal

flesh.

*2222 *2532 *2424 *5319 *5319 *2349

*4561

12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

*5620 *3303 *2288 *1754 *2222

13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is

written, I

*2192 *0846 *4151 *4102 *2596

*1125

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

therefore speak;

*4100 *1352 *2980 *2532 *4100

*1352 *2980

14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise

up us also by

*1492 *1453 *2962 *2424

*1453 *2532

Jesus, and shall present us with you.

*2424 *3936

15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace

might

*3956 *5209 *4121

*5485

through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

*1223 *2169 *4119 *4052 *1391

*2316

16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man

perish, yet

*1352 *1352 *1573 *1499 *1854

*0444 *1311 *0235

the inward man is renewed day by day.

*2081 *0341 *2250 *2250

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh

for us a

*1645 *2347 *3588 *3910

*2716

far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

*5236 *5236 *5236 *0166 *0922 *1391

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at

the things

*4648 *4648 *0991

*4648

which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal;

but the

*0991 *0991 *4340

things which are not seen are eternal.

*0991 *0166

5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle

were

*1492 *1437 *1919 *3614 *3588 *4636

dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with

hands, eternal

*2647 *2192 *3619 *2316 *3614 *0886

*0886 *0166

in the heavens.

*3772

2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon

with our

*5129 *4727 *1971 *1971 *1902

house which is from heaven:

*3613 *3588 *3772

3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

*1489 *1746 *2147 *1131

4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened:

not for that

*3588 *4636 *4727 *0916

we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might

be swallowed

*2309 *1562 *1902 *2349

*2666

up of life.

*2222

5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God,

who also

*1161 *2716 *5124

*2316 *3588 *2532

hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

*1325 *0728 *4151

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we

are at home

*3767 *3842 *2292 *1492

*1722 *1736

in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

*4983 *0553 *2962

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

*4043 *4102 *1491

8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from

the body,

*2292 *2106 *3123 *0553

*4983

and to be present with the Lord.

*1736 *2962

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we

may be

*1352 *5389 *1535 *1736 *1535 *0553

accepted of him.

*2101

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;

that every

*1163 *3956 *5319 *1715 *0968 *0968

*5547 *1538

one may receive the things done in his body, according to that

he hath done,

*2865 *4983 *4314

*4238

whether it be good or bad.

*1535 *0018 *1535 *2556

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;

but we are

*1492 *3767 *5401 *2962 *3982

*0444

made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in

your

*5319 *5319 *2316 *1679 *2532 *5319 *5319

*5216

consciences.

*4893

12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you

occasion to

*4921 *1438 *3825 *1325

*0874

glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them

which glory

*2745 *5228 *5228 *2192

*2744

in appearance, and not in heart.

*4383 *2588

13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or

whether we be

*1535 *1839 *2316 *1535

*1535

sober, it is for your cause.

*4993 *5213

14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus

judge, that if

*0026 *5547 *4912 *5124

*2919 *1487

one died for all, then were all dead:

*1520 *0599 *3956 *0686 *3956 *0599

15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not

henceforth

*0599 *3956 *2198

*3371

live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and

rose again.

*2198 *1438 *0599

*1453 *1453

16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea,

though we

*5620 *3568 *1492 *3762 *3762 *2596 *4561

*1161 *1499

have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we

him no more.

*1097 *5547 *2596 *4561 *0235 *3568 *2089

*1097 *3765 *2089

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:

old things

*5620 *1487 *1536 *5547 *2537

*2937 *0744

are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

*3028 *2400 *3956 *1096 *2537

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to

himself by Jesus

*3956 *2316 *3588 *2644

*1438 *2424

Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

*5547 *1325 *1248 *2643

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto

himself, not

*5613 *2316 *5547 *2644 *2889

*1438

imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us

the word of

*3049 *3900 *5087

*3056

reconciliation.

*2643

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did

beseech you

*4243 *5547 *2316

*3870

by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

*1189 *5547 *5228 *2644

*2316

21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;

that we might

*4160 *0266 *1097 *3361

*0266

be made the righteousness of God in him.

*1096 *1343 *2316

6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also

that ye receive

*3767 *4903 *4903 *3870

*2532 *1209

not the grace of God in vain.

*5485 *2316 *2756

2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in

the day of

*3004 *1873 *2540 *1184

*2250

salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted

time; behold,

*4991 *0997 *2400 *3568 *2144

*2540 *2400

now is the day of salvation.)

*3568 *2250 *4991

3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not

blamed:

*1325 *3367 *4349 *3367 *1248

*3469

4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of

God, in much

*3956 *4921 *1438 *1249

*2316 *4183

patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

*5281 *2347 *0318 *4730

5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in

watchings, in

*4127 *5438 *0181 *2873

*0070

fastings;

*3521

6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by

the Holy

*0054 *1108 *5544

*0040

Ghost, by love unfeigned,

*4151 *0026 *0505

7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of

righteousness

*3056 *0225 *1411 *2316 *3696

*1343

on the right hand and on the left,

*1188 *0710

8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as

deceivers,

*1391 *0819 *1426 *1426 *2162 *2162

*4108

and yet true;

*0557

9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we

live; as

*0050 *1921 *1921 *0599 *2400

*2198

chastened, and not killed;

*3811 *2289

10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making

many rich; as

*3076 *1161 *0104 *5463 *4434 *1161

*4148 *4183 *4148

having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

*2192 *3367 *2722 *3956

11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is

enlarged.

*2881 *4750 *0455 *2588

*4115

12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your

own bowels.

*4730 *4730

*5216 *4698

13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my

children,) be ye

*1161 *0489 *0846 *3004

*5043

also enlarged.

*2532 *4115

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for

what fellowship

*2086 *2086 *2086 *0571

*5101 *3352

hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion

hath light with

*1343 *0458 *5101 *2842

*5457

darkness?

*4655

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part

hath he that

*5101 *4857 *5547 *0955 *2228 *5101

*3310

believeth with an infidel?

*4103 *0571

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for

ye are the

*5101 *4783 *3845 *2316 *1497

temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in

them, and walk

*3845 *2198 *2316 *2316 *2036 *1774

*1704

in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

*2316 *2992

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,

saith the Lord,

*1352 *1831 *3319 *0873

*3004 *2962

and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

*0680 *0169 *1523

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and

daughters,

*3962 *5207

*2364

saith the Lord Almighty.

*3004 *2962 *3841

7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us

cleanse

*2192 *3767 *5025 *1860 *0027

*2511

ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,

perfecting holiness

*1438 *3956 *3436 *4561 *4151

*2005 *0042

in the fear of God.

*5401 *2316

2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no

man, we have

*5562 *0091 *3762 *3762 *5351

*3762 *3762

defrauded no man.

*4122 *3762 *3762

3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that

ye are in

*3004 *2633 *4280 *4280

our hearts to die and live with you.

*2588 *4880 *4800

4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my

glorying of you: I

*4183 *3954 *4314 *4183

*2746

am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our

tribulation.

*4137 *3874 *5248 *5479 *3956

*2347

5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no

rest, but we

*2064 *1519 *3109 *4561 *2192

*3762 *0425

were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within

were fears.

*2346 *1722 *3956 *1855 *3163

*2081 *5401

6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down,

comforted us

*0235 *2316 *3870 *3588 *5011

*5011 *3870

by the coming of Titus;

*3952 *5103

7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith

he was

*3952 *3440 *3874 *3739

comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your

mourning, your

*3870 *0312 *5216 *1972 *1972

*5216 *3602 *5216

fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.

*2205 *5228 *5620 *5463 *3123

8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent,

though I did

*1499 *3076 *3076 *1992 *3338

*1499

repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you

sorry, though it

*3338 *0991 *1565 *1992 *3076

*3076 *1499

were but for a season.

*5610

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye

sorrowed to

*3568 *5463 *3076 *3076

*3076

repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that

ye might

*3341 *3076 *3076 *2596 *2316

receive damage by us in nothing.

*2210 *2210 *3367

10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be

repented of:

*2316 *3077 *2716 *3341 *4991

*0278

but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

*3077 *2889 *2716 *2288

11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a

godly sort,

*2400 *5124 *0846 *3076 *2596

*2316

what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of

yourselves, yea,

*4214 *4710 *2716 *0235 *0627

*0235

what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire,

yea, what zeal,

*0024 *0235 *5401 *0235 *1972 *1972

*0235 *2205

yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves

to be clear

*0235 *1557 *3956 *4921 *1438

*0053

in this matter.

*3588 *4229

12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his

cause that had

*0686 *1499 *1125

*1752

done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but

that our care

*0091 *0091 *3761 *1752 *0091

*4710

for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

*1799 *2316 *5319

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

exceedingly the

*5124 *3870 *5213 *3874

*4056

more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was

refreshed by

*3123 *5463 *5479 *5103 *3754 *4151

*0373

you all.

*3956

14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not

ashamed; but

*1487 *2744 *1536

*2617

as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting,

which I

*0980 *3956 *0225 *2532 *3779

*2746 *3588

made before Titus, is found a truth.

*1909 *5103 *1096 *0225

15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst

*4698 *4698 *4056 *4056 *1519

remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and

trembling ye

*0363 *5218 *3956 *5613 *5401

*5156

received him.

*1209

16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all

things.

*5463 *2292 *3956

8:1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God

bestowed on

*1161 *0080 *1107 *1107 *5485

*2316 *1325 *1722

the churches of Macedonia;

*1577 *3109

2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of

their joy and

*4183 *1382 *2347 *4050

*5479

their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

*0899 *4432 *4052 *4149 *0572

3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their

power they were

*1411 *3140 *3140 *5228

*1411

willing of themselves;

*0830 *0830

4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift,

and take

*1189 *4183 *3874 *1209

*5485

upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

*2842 *1248 *0040

5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own

selves to

*1679 *4412 *1325

*1438

the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

*2962 *2307 *2316

6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he

would also

*1519 *3870 *5103 *4278

*3779 *2532

finish in you the same grace also.

*2005 *0846 *5485 *2532

7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and

utterance, and

*0235 *4052 *0376 *4102

*3056

knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see

that ye

*1108 *3956 *4710 *5209 *0026

abound in this grace also.

*4052 *5124 *5485 *2532

8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the

forwardness of others,

*3004 *2003 *1223 *4710

*2087

and to prove the sincerity of your love.

*1381 *1103 *5212 *0026

9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though

he was rich,

*1097 *5485 *2962 *2424 *5547

*4146

yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty

might be

*5216 *4433 *4433 *4432

rich.

*4147

10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you,

who have

*5129 *1325 *1106 *5124 *4851

*3748

begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year

ago.

*4278 *4278 *3440 *4160 *2532 *2309

*4070 *0575

11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a

readiness to

*3570 *2532 *2005 *4160

*4288

will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye

have.

*2309 *3779 *2005 *2532

*2192

12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted

according to that a

*4295 *4288 *4288 *2144

*2526

man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

*5100 *2192 *2526 *2192

13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

*0243 *0425 *2347

14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance

may be a

*2471 *3568 *1722 *3568 *2540 *5216

*4051

supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a

supply for your

*5303 *4051 *2532

*5216

want: that there may be equality:

*5303 *2471

15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over;

and he

*1125 *4183 *3756

*4121

that had gathered little had no lack.

*3641 *3756 *1641

16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into

the heart of

*5485 *2316 *3588 *1325 *0846 *4710

*4710 *1722 *2588

Titus for you.

*5103

17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more

forward, of his

*3303 *1209 *3874 *5225 *4707

*4707

own accord he went unto you.

*0830 *0830 *1831

18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in

the gospel

*4842 *0080 *3739 *1868

*2098

throughout all the churches;

*1223 *3956 *1577

19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches

to travel

*3440 *2532 *5500 *1577

*4898

with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the

glory of the

*5124 *5485 *3588 *1247

*1392

same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:

*3778 *2962 *5216 *4288 *4288

20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this

abundance which is

*4724 *5124 *3361 *5100 *3469 *5026

*0100 *3588

administered by us:

*1247

21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the

Lord, but also

*4306 *2570 *3440 *1799

*2962 *2532

in the sight of men.

*1799 *0444

22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have

oftentimes proved

*4842 *0080 *3739

*4178 *1381

diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the

great

*4705 *4183 *3570 *4183 *4707 *4705

*4183

confidence which I have in you.

*4006 *3588

23 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and

fellowhelper

*1535 *5103 *2844

*4904

concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the

messengers

*1519 *1535 *0080

*0652

of the churches, and the glory of Christ.

*1577 *1392 *5547

24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the

proof of your

*3767 *1731 *4383 *1577

*1732 *5216

love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

*0026 *2746 *5228 *5216 *5228

9:1 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is

superfluous for me

*4012 *1248 *0040

*4053

to write to you:

*1125

2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of

you to them

*1492 *4288 *5216 *4288 *3739

*2744

of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal

hath provoked

*3110 *0882 *3903 *4070 *0575 *5216

*2205 *2042

very many.

*4119 *4119

3 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you

should be in vain

*1161 *3992 *0080 *3361 *2745

*2788

in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:

*5129 *3313 *3004 *3903

4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you

unprepared,

*3381 *3381 *1437 *3110 *2064

*2147 *0532

we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same

confident boasting.

*3004 *2617 *3588 *5026

*5287 *2746

5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that

they would

*3767 *2233 *0316 *3870 *0080

go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty,

whereof ye had

*4281 *4281 *4294 *4294 *5216 *2129

notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of

bounty, and not

*4293 *4293 *5026 *2092

*2129

as of covetousness.

*4124

6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also

sparingly; and

*5124 *4687 *5340 *2325

*2532 *5340

he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

*4687 *2129 *2325 *2532 *2129

7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him

give; not

*1538 *2531 *4255 *2588

grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

*3077 *2228 *0318 *2316 *0025 *2431

*1395

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that

ye, always

*2316 *1415 *4052 *3956 *5485 *4052 *1519

*3842

having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every

good work:

*2192 *3956 *0841 *3956 *4052

*3956 *0018 *2041

9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to

the poor:

*1125 *4650 *4650 *1325

*3993

his righteousness remaineth for ever.

*1343 *3306 *0165

10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister

bread for your

*1161 *2023 *4690 *4687 *2532 *5524

*0740

food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of

your

*1035 *4129 *5216 *4703 *0837 *1081

*5216

righteousness;)

*1343

11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which

causeth

*4148 *3956 *3956 *0572

*3748 *2716

through us thanksgiving to God.

*1223 *2169 *2316

12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth

the want of

*1248 *5026 *3009 *3440 *4322

*5303

the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

*0040 *4052 *2532 *4183 *2169

*2316

13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify

God for your

*1382 *5026 *1248 *1392

*2316 *5216

professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your

liberal

*3671 *5292 *2098 *5547

*3588 *0572

distribution unto them, and unto all men;

*2842 *3956

14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the

exceeding

*1162 *1971 *1971

*5235

grace of God in you.

*5485 *2316

15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

*5485 *2316 *0411 *1431

10:1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and

gentleness of Christ,

*1161 *3972 *3870 *4236

*1932 *5547

who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold

toward you:

*3739 *4383 *5011 *1722 *0548

*2292 *1519

2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present

with that

*1189 *2292 *3918

confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which

think of us as

*4006 *3739 *3049 *5111 *1909 *5100

*3588 *3049

if we walked according to the flesh.

*4043 *2596 *4561

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the

flesh:

*4043 *4561 *4754 *2596

*4561

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty

through God to

*3696 *4752 *4559 *1415

*2316

the pulling down of strong holds;)

*2506 *2506 *3794 *3794

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth

itself

*2507 *2504 *3053 *3956 *5313 *5313

*1869

against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every

thought to

*2596 *1108 *2316 *0163 *0163

*3956 *3540

the obedience of Christ;

*5218 *5547

6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when

your

*2192 *2092 *1556 *3956 *3876

*3752 *5216

obedience is fulfilled.

*5218 *4137

7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any

man trust

*0991 *0991 *2596 *4383 *4383

*1487 *5100 *3982

to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this

again, that,

*1438 *5547 *1438 *3049

*5124 *3825

as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

*5547 *2532 *3779 *5547

8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority,

which the Lord

*1437 *2744 *5100 *4055 *1849

*3739 *2962

hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I

should not

*1325 *3619 *5216 *2506

be ashamed:

*0153

9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

*1380 *1629 *1992

10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but

his bodily

*1992 *5346 *0926 *2478

*4983

presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

*3952 *0770 *3056 *1848

11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by

letters when

*3634 *3049 *5124 *5108

*3056 *1992

we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.

*0548 *5108 *2532 *2041

*3918

12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare

ourselves

*5111 *1438 *1469 *2228 *4793

*1438

with some that commend themselves: but they measuring

themselves by

*5100 *4921 *1438 *3354 *1438

themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not

wise.

*1438 *4793 *1438 *1438

*4920

13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but

according to

*2744 *0280 *0280

*2596

the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a

measure to

*3358 *2583 *3739 *2316 *3307

*3358

reach even unto you.

*2185 *2532

14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though

we reached

*5239 *1438 *5239

*2185

not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in

preaching the

*5348 *0891 *2532

gospel of Christ:

*2098 *5547

15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of

other men's

*2744 *0280 *0280

*0245

labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we

shall be

*2873 *2192 *1680 *5216 *4102 *0837

enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

*3170 *2596 *2583 *4050

16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to

boast in

*2097 *2097 *5238

*2744

another man's line of things made ready to our hand.

*0245 *0245 *2583 *2092 *2092

17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

*2744 *2744 *2962

18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the

Lord

*4921 *1438 *1384 *3739

*2962

commendeth.

*4921

11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly:

and indeed

*3785 *0430 *3397 *0877

*0235

bear with me.

*0430

2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have

espoused you to

*2206 *2316 *2205

*0718

one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to

Christ.

*1520 *0435 *3936 *0053 *3933

*5547

3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve

through his

*5399 *3381 *3381 *4458 *3789 *1818

*2096 *1722

subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the

simplicity that is

*3834 *3779 *5216 *3540 *5351

*0572

in Christ.

*5547

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have

not

*1487 *2064 *2784 *0243 *2424 *3739

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

received, or

*2784 *2228 *2983 *2087 *4151 *3739

*2983 *2228

another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear

with him.

*2087 *2098 *1209 *2573

*0430

5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest

apostles.

*3049 *3367 *5302 *5228 *3029

*0652

6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we

have been

*1499 *2399 *3056 *0235 *1108

throughly made manifest among you in all things.

*3956 *5319 *5319 *1519 *3956

7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might

be exalted,

*4160 *0266 *5013 *1683

*5312

because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

*3754 *2097 *2098 *2316 *1432

8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you

service.

*4813 *0243 *1577 *2983 *3800

*1248

9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable

to no man:

*3918 *5302 *2655

*3762 *3762

for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from

Macedonia

*5303 *0080 *2064

*3109

supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being

burdensome unto

*4322 *3956 *5083 *1683

*0004

you, and so will I keep myself.

*5083 *1683

10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of

this boasting

*0225 *5547 *3762 *5420

*3778 *2746

in the regions of Achaia.

*2825 *0882

11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

*1302 *3754 *0025 *2316 *1492

12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off

occasion from them

*3739 *4160 *4160 *1581 *1581

*0874

which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be

found even as

*2309 *0874 *3757 *2744

*2147 *2532

we.

13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming

themselves

*5108 *5570 *5570 *1386 *2040 *3345

into the apostles of Christ.

*1519 *0652 *5547

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an

angel of light.

*3756 *2298 *4567 *0846 *3345 *1519

*0032 *5457

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be

transformed

*3767 *3756 *3173 *1499 *1249

*2532 *3345

as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be

according to their

*1249 *1343 *3739 *5056

*2596

works.

*2041

16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise,

yet as a

*3004 *3825 *3367 *5100 *1380 *0876 *1490

*1490 *2579

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

*0876 *1209 *2744 *3397

17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it

were

*3739 *2980 *2980 *2596 *2962

foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

*0877 *5026 *5287 *2746

18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

*1893 *4183 *2744 *2596 *4561 *2744

*2504

19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

*0430 *0878 *2234 *5429

20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a

man devour

*0430 *1487 *5100 *2615 *2615

*1487 *5100 *2719

you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a

man smite

*1487 *5100 *2983 *1487 *5100 *1869

*1487 *5100 *1194

you on the face.

*1519 *4383

21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak.

Howbeit

*3004 *2596 *0819 *3754

*0770

whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

*0302 *5100 *5111 *3004 *0877

*5111 *2504

22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I.

Are they

*1445 *2504 *2475 *2504

the seed of Abraham? so am I.

*4690 *0011 *2504

23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more;

in labours

*1249 *5547 *2980 *3912

*5228 *2873

more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more

frequent, in

*4056 *4056 *4127 *5234 *5234 *5438 *4056

*4056

deaths oft.

*2288 *4178

24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

*2453 *3999 *3999 *2983 *5062 *3844

*3391

25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I

suffered

*5151 *4463 *4463 *0530 *3034 *5151

shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

*3489 *3574 *3574 *4160 *1037

26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of

robbers, in

*3597 *4178 *2794 *4215 *2794

*3027

perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in

perils in the

*2794 *1085 *2794 *1484

*2794

city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in

perils among

*4172 *2794 *2047 *2794 *2281

*2794 *1722

false brethren;

*5569 *5569

27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger

and thirst,

*2873 *3449 *0070 *4178

*3042 *1373

in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

*3521 *4178 *5592 *1132

28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon

me daily,

*5565 *3588 *3924 *3588 *1999

*2250

the care of all the churches.

*3308 *3956 *1577

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I

burn not?

*5101 *0770 *0770 *5101 *4624

*4448

30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which

concern mine

*1487 *1163 *2744 *2744

*4012 *3450

infirmities.

*0769

31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is

blessed for

*2316 *3962 *2962 *2424 *5547 *3588

*2128

evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

*0165 *1492 *5574

32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city

of the

*1154 *1481 *0702 *0935 *5432

*4172

Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

*1153 *5432 *2309 *4084

33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall,

and

*1223 *2376 *4553 *5465 *5465

*5038

escaped his hands.

*1628 *5495

12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come

to visions

*4851 *1211 *2744

*2064 *3701

and revelations of the Lord.

*0602 *2962

2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in

the body, I

*1492 *0444 *5547 *4253 *1180 *2094 *4253

*1535 *4983

cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God

knoweth;)

*1492 *1492 *1535 *1535 *4983 *1492 *1492

*2316 *1492

such an one caught up to the third heaven.

*5108 *0726 *5154 *3772

3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the

body, I

*1492 *5108 *0444 *1535 *4983 *1535

*4983

cannot tell: God knoweth;)

*1492 *1492 *2316 *1492

4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard

unspeakable words,

*0726 *1519 *3857 *0191 *0731

*4487

which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

*3739 *1832 *0444 *2980

5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory,

but in mine

*5108 *2744 *1161 *1683

*2744 *3450

infirmities.

*0769

6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool;

for I will say

*1437 *2309 *2744 *0876

*2046

the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me

above that

*0225 *5339 *3361 *5100 *3049

*5228

which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

*3739 *0991 *2228 *0191

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the

abundance of the

*3361 *5229

*5236

revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the

messenger of

*0602 *1325 *4647 *4561

*0032

Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

*4567 *2852 *3361 *5229

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might

depart from me.

*5127 *3870 *2962 *5151

*0868

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my

strength is

*2046 *5485 *0714

*1411

made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather

glory in my

*5048 *5048 *0769 *2236 *2235 *3767

*3123 *2744

infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

*0769 *1411 *5547 *1981

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in

necessities,

*1352 *2106 *0769 *5196

*0318

in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am

weak,

*1375 *4730 *5547 *3752

*1510 *0770

then am I strong.

*2532 *1510 *1415

11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I

ought to

*1096 *0876 *2744 *0315

*3784

have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very

chiefest

*4921 *3762 *5302

*3029 *3029

apostles, though I be nothing.

*0652 *1499 *3762

12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all

patience,

*3303 *4591 *0652 *2716 *1722

*3956 *5281

in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

*4591 *5059 *1411 *1411

13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches,

except it be

*5101 *3757 *2274 *3062 *1577

*1508

that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

*2655 *5483 *5026

*0093

14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will

not be

*2400 *5154 *2093 *2064

burdensome to you: for I seek not yours but you: for the

children ought not

*2655 *2212 *5216

*5043 *3784

to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

*2343 *1118 *1118 *5043

15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though

the more

*2236 *2235 *1159 *1550 *1499

*4056

abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

*4056 *0025 *2276 *0025

16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being

crafty, I caught

*2599 *0235 *5225

*3835 *2983

you with guile.

*1388

17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto

you?

*4122 *4122 *5100 *3739 *0649

18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus

make a gain of

*3870 *5103 *4882 *0080

*5103 *4122 *4122

you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the

same steps?

*4043 *0846 *4151 *4043

*0846 *2487

19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak

before God

*3825 *1380 *0626

*2980 *2714 *2316

in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your

edifying.

*5547 *3956 *0027 *5216

*3619

20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as

I would, and

*5399 *3381 *2064 *2147

*3634 *2309

that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there

be debates,

*2147 *3634 *2309 *3381

*2054

envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings,

tumults:

*2205 *2372 *2052 *2636 *5587 *5450

*0181

21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among

you, and that

*3361 *2064 *3825 *2316 *5013

*4314

I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not

repented of the

*3996 *4183 *3588 *4258 *4258

*3340

uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have

committed.

*0167 *4202 *0766 *3739

*4238

13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of

two or

*5124 *5154 *2064 *4750

*1417 *2532

three witnesses shall every word be established.

*5140 *3144 *3956 *4487 *2476

2 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present,

the second

*4280 *4280 *4302 *1437 *3918

*1208

time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore

have sinned,

*0548 *3568 *1125 *4258

*4258

and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

*3956 *3062 *2064 *3825 *5339

3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-

ward is not

*1893 *2212 *1382 *5547 *2980 *3739

*5209

weak, but is mighty in you.

*0770 *1414

4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth

by the power

*1487 *4717 *1537 *0769 *0235

*2198 *1411

of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him

by the

*2316 *2532 *0770 *2198

power of God toward you.

*1411 *2316 *1519

5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your

own selves.

*3985 *1438 *1487 *4102 *1381

*1438 *1438

Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you,

except ye be

*1921 *1438 *1438 *2424 *5547

*1509

reprobates?

*0096

6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

*1679 *1097 *0096

7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we

should appear

*1161 *2172 *2316 *4160 *3367 *2556

*5316

approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though

we be as

*1384 *4160 *2570

reprobates.

*0096

8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

*1410 *5100 *2596 *0225

*0225

9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and

this also we

*5463 *3752 *0770 *1415

*5124 *2532

wish, even your perfection.

*2172 *5216 *2676

10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being

present I should

*5124 *1125 *5023 *0548 *3361

*3918

use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath

given me to

*5530 *0664 *2596 *1849 *3739 *2962

*1325

edification, and not to destruction.

*3619 *2506

11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort,

be of one

*3063 *0080 *5463 *2675

*3870 *0846

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

with you.

*5426 *1514 *1518 *2316 *0026 *1515

12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.

*0782 *0240 *0240 *0040 *5370

13 All the saints salute you.

*3956 *0040 *0782

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and

the

*5485 *2962 *2424 *5547 *0026

*2316

communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
