Who comforting us upon all our pressure, that we may be able to comfort them in every pressure, by the comfort by which we ourselves are comforted by God.

And whether we are pressed, for your comfort and salvation, being well wrought in endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer: whether we are comforted, for your comfort and salvation.

And our hope firm for you, knowing, that as ye are participators of the sufferings, so also of the comfort.

As also ye observed us by part, that we are your boast, as also ye ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Not that we are masters of your faith, but we are aiders of your joy: for ye have stood in the faith.

For, for this I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, if ye are obedient for all things.

That we might not be taken advantage of by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his inventions.

For we are to God a sweet odor of Christ, in the saved, and in the host:

For we are not as the many adulterating the word of God: but as of purity, but as of God, before the face of God speak we in Christ.

Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and acknowledged by all men:

Made manifest that ye are the epistle of Christ served by us, not written with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables made of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to reckon anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency of God;

And we all, shown as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, with the face uncovered, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as from the Spirit of the Lord.

For we, the living, are always delivered to death for Jesus, that also the life of Jesus be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

Therefore being always confident, and knowing that, being at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

And we are confident, and are contented rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home in the Lord.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; and we are made manifest to God; and I hope also to have been made manifest to your consciences.

For Christ therefore are we ambassadors, as of God beseeching by us: we pray for the sake of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

Ye are not contracted in us, but ye are contracted in your bowels.

And what agreement to the temple of God with images? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God said, That I will dwell in them, and will go round about; and will be their God, and they shall be a people to me.

I speak not to condemnation: for I have said before, ye are in our hearts to die together, and live together.

And his bowels are more abundantly to you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and tremor ye received him.

Let such a one reckon this, that, such as we are in the word by the epistles, being away, such also, being present, in deed.

No great thing therefore if also his servants are transformed as servants of justice; whose end shall be according to their works.

Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they Abraham's seed? I also.

Are they Christ's servants? (I speak being light-headed) I above; in toils more abundant, in blows more excessively, in watchings more abundantly, in deaths often.

For also if he was crucified from weakness, but he lives from the power of God. For also we are weak in him, but we live with him from the power of God to you.

Try yourselves, if ye are in the faith; prove yourselves. Or know ye not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless ye are not tried?

And I hope that ye shall know that we are not untried.

For we are not able anything against the truth, but for the truth.
