Not that we are the masters of you and your faith; we are working with you to make you happy, for in your faith you stand firm enough.

In the case of such a person the punishment which was inflicted by the majority of you is enough.

To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

Seeing, then, that we know how the Lord is to be feared, we fare fair with men. For we are known well enough unto God. I trust also that we are known in your consciences.

For [you seem willing to allow it] if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted. You tolerate all this beautifully [welcoming the deception].
