We

Do we seem to be again attempting to put ourselves in the right? or have we need, as some have, of letters of approval to you or from you?

But in everything making it clear that we are the servants of God, in quiet strength, in troubles, in need, in sorrow,

For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:

I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.

Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.

Give

Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.

As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

Appearance

Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.

General references

So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.
