This {is} the third {time} I am coming to you. In the… This {is} the third {time} I am coming to youIn the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 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: Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will… It is not expedient for me doubtless to gloryI will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. {I will come: Gr. For I will come} 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.

Would to God ye could bear with me a little in {my}… Would to God ye could bear with me a little in {my} folly: and indeed bear with me{indeed bear…: or, indeed ye do bear with me} 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. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. [Read More]

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness… 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: {in presence: or, in outward appearance} 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{think: or, reckon} For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare {are} not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) {through God: or, to God} 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; {imaginations: or, reasonings} And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is… For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: 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 manyYet 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: 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.

Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of… Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality{liberality: Gr. simplicity} For to {their} power, I bear record, yea, and beyond {their} power {they were} willing of themselves; Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and {take upon us} the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let… Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of GodReceive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. I speak not {this} to condemn {you}: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with {you}. [Read More]

We then, {as} workers together {with him}, beseech… We then, {as} workers together {with him}, beseech {you} also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain(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.) Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all {things} approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, {approving: Gr.

For we know that if our earthly house of {this} tabernacle… 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 heavensFor in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 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. [Read More]

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have… Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 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{dishonesty: Gr. shame} But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 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.
