Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.

But whether we are in tribulation, it is for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,

(and our hope for you is sure;) or whether we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.

who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;

ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.

even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as ye are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

For if I grieve you, who also is it that gladdens me, if not he that is grieved through me?

For to this end also I have written, that I might know, by putting you to the test, if as to everything ye are obedient.

But to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sakes in the person of Christ;

Now when I came to Troas for the publication of the glad tidings of the Christ, a door also being opened to me in the Lord,

who has also made us competent, as ministers of the new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens.

For also that which was glorified is not glorified in this respect, on account of the surpassing glory.

But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;

always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;

for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;

And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; we also believe, therefore also we speak;

knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.

if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.

Now he that has wrought us for this very thing is God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.

Wherefore also we are zealous, whether present or absent, to be agreeable to him.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men, but have been manifested to God, and I hope also that we have been manifested in your consciences.

But as fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:

but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let your heart also expand itself.

and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.

For if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret it, if even I have regretted it; for I see that that letter, if even it were only for a time, grieved you.

So then, if also I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God.

Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been the truth;

So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to you this grace also;

but even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.

And I give my opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.

But now also complete the doing of it; so that as there was the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have.

and not only so, but is also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and a witness of our readiness;

for we provide for things honest, not only before the Lord, but also before men.

But this is true, he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in the spirit of blessing shall reap also in blessing:

Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God;

Do ye look at what concerns appearance? If any one has confidence in himself that he is of Christ, let him think this again in himself, that even as he is of Christ, so also are we.

Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by letters when absent, such also present in deed.

Now we will not boast out of measure, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure has apportioned to us, to reach to you also.

For we do not, as not reaching to you, overstretch ourselves, (for we have come to you also in the glad tidings of the Christ;)

But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing for an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we.

It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Again I say, Let not any one think me to be a fool; but if otherwise, receive me then even as a fool, that I also may boast myself some little.

Since many boast according to flesh, I also will boast.

I speak as to dishonour, as though we had been weak; but wherein any one is daring, (I speak in folly,) I also am daring.

Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they seed of Abraham? I also.

I have become a fool; ye have compelled me; for I ought to have been commended by you; for I have been nothing behind those who were in surpassing degree apostles, if also I am nothing.

For we rejoice when we may be weak and ye may be powerful. But this also we pray for, your perfecting.
