Our

without ceasing, and call to remembrance your work in the faith, and labour in love and perseverance in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God our father:

And because he was of the same craft he abode with them and wrought: their craft was to make tents.

Ye know well that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

and labour working with our own hands. We are reviled, and yet we bless. We are persecuted, and suffer it.

Either only I and Barnabas have not power this to do?

in stripes, in prisonment, in strife, in labour, in watching, in fasting,

Ye yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: For we behaved not ourselves inordinately among you.

For therefore we labour and suffer rebuke, because we believe in the living God, which is the saviour of all men: but specially of those that believe.

Chargeable

neither sought we praise of men, neither of you, nor yet of any other, when we might have been chargeable, as the apostles of Christ.

For the old captains that were before me, had been chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, and forty sicles of silver: yea and their servants had oppressed the people. But so did not I, and that because of the fear of God.

Who goeth a warfare any time at his own cost? Who planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit? Or who feedeth a flock and eateth not of the milk?

And when I was present with you and had need, I was grievous to no man. For that which was lacking unto me, the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I kept myself that I should not be grievous to you: and so will I keep myself.

For what is it wherein ye were inferiors unto other congregations? Except it be therein that I was not grievous unto you. Forgive me this wrong done unto you.

The gospel

but even after that we had suffered before and were shamefully entreated at Philippi - as ye well know - then were we bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God, with much striving.

But none of those things move me. Neither is my life dear unto myself; that I might fulfill my course with joy, and the ministration which I have received of the Lord Jesus to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Paul, the servant of Jesus Christ, called unto the office to be an apostle, put apart to preach the Gospel of God,

for this purpose: that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ among the gentiles, and should minister the glad tidings of God, that the gentiles might be an acceptable offering, sanctified by the holy ghost.

according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which gospel is committed unto me.

For as touching the travail and carefulness which God hath given unto men, I see that he hath given it them, to be exercised in it.
