We

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, like some, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?

but in everything commending ourselves as God's servants, in much patience, in troubles, in emergencies, in distresses,

For even if I also should boast somewhat more fully of our authority (which the Lord has given us for building up, and not for pulling you down) I will not be put to shame;

I have become foolish boasting. You compelled me. For I ought to be commended by you. For I lacked nothing of the highest apostles, if even I am nothing.

Let another man praise you, and not your mouth; a stranger, and not your lips.

Give

even as you have recognized us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as you also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

But what I do, that I will do, so that I may cut off occasion from those who desire occasion; so that in the thing in which they boast, they may be found even as we.

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

Appearance

As many as desire to look well in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

General references

so that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
