For we write no other things to you than what you read or recognize, and I trust you shall recognize them even to the end,

to the one we are the savor of death to death, and to the other we are the savor of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

I do not speak according to command, but through the eagerness of others, and testing the trueness of your love.

For it is not that others may have ease, but you trouble;

not boasting beyond measure in the labors of others, but having hope that the growing faith among you will be increased according to our rule, to overflowing;

I stripped other churches, taking wages for the serving of you.
