We

Begin we again to recommend ourselves or need we not, as some; recommendatory epistles to you, or recommendatory from you?

But in every thing recommending ourselves as servants of God, in much patience, in pressures, in necessities, in extremities,

For if I also boast something more abundantly of our power, which the Lord gave us for the building up, and not for your taking down, I shall not be ashamed:

I have been mad boasting; ye forced me: for I ought to have been recommended by you: for I was not greatly inferior to the sent, if also I am nothing.

A stranger shall praise thee, and not thy mouth; a stranger, and not thy lips.

Give

As also ye observed us by part, that we are your boast, as also ye ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

And what I do, and I will do, that I shall not cut off the occasion of those wishing the occasion; that in what they boast, they be found as also we.

Indeed it is not profitable to me to boast. For I will come to visions and Revelation of the Lord.

Appearance

As many as: wish to have an agreeable demeanor in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only lest they should be driven out for the cross of Christ.

General references

That your boasting may abound in Jesus Christ in me, for my coming again to you.
