Bible References

We

We begin to praise ourselves again. Need we, as some others, of epistles of recommendation unto you? Or letters of recommendation from you?

but in all things let us behave ourselves as the ministers of God. In much patience, in afflictions, in necessity, in anguish,

And though I should boast myself somewhat more of our authority which the Lord hath given us to edify and not to destroy you, it should not be to my shame.

I am made a fool in boasting myself. Ye have compelled me: I ought to have been commended of you. For in nothing was I inferior unto the chief apostles, though I be nothing:

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; yea, other folk's lips and not thine.

Give

even as ye have found us partly, for we are your rejoicing, even as ye are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Nevertheless what I do, that will I do to cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like unto us in that wherein they rejoice:

It is not expedient for me, no doubt, to rejoice; Nevertheless I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

Appearance

As many as desire with outward appearance to please carnally, they constrain you to be circumcised, only because they would not suffer persecution with the cross of Christ.

General references

that ye may more abundantly rejoice in Jesus Christ through me, by my coming to you again.
