Bible References

We

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some, commendatory epistles to you or from you?

but in every thing commending ourselves as ministers of God, in great patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

For if I should even boast some of our authority which the Lord gave for your edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed.

I have become foolish; you compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing am I behind the chief of the apostles, though I also am nothing.

Give

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

But what I do I also will do, that I may take away an occasion from those who wish an occasion, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we are.

It is not expedient therefore for me to boast [of these things]; for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

Appearance

Those who wish to make a fair appearance in the flesh compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

General references

that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus by me through my coming again to you.
