For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was proclaimed among you by us (by me and Silvanus and Timothy) became not, yes and no, but in him has become, yes.

Because of this (having this ministry), in as much as we received mercy, we do not become discouraged.

So then if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.

For the man who knew no sin was made sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what partnership has righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness?

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich he became poor for your sakes, so that by that man's poverty ye might become rich.

So that the abundance of those men may also happen for your need, so that there may become equity,

I have become foolish, boasting. Ye compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I came short in nothing of those, superlative apostles, even though I am nothing.
