For I truly, as being at a distance in body, and being present in spirit, have already, as being present, judged him having so worked this. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ye, gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such a one to Satan for the ruin of the flesh, that the spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

I wrote to you in the epistle not to mix together with fornicators.

I wrote to you in the epistle not to mix together with fornicators.

And of what ye wrote to me: good for a man not to touch a woman.

And concerning sacrifice to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, and love builds the house.

And concerning the collection for the holy ones, as I appointed to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

And I will come to you, when I pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.

And if Timotheus come, see ye that he be with you fearlessly: for he works the work of the Lord, as I also.

And I rejoice at the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and : that they have filled up your necessity. For they refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore observe ye such.

Paul, sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the church of God being in Corinth, with all holy ones being in the whole of Achaia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. read more. Praised the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion, and God of all comfort: Who comforting us upon all our pressure, that we may be able to comfort them in every pressure, by the comfort by which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so by Christ abounds also our comfort.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so by Christ abounds also our comfort. And whether we are pressed, for your comfort and salvation, being well wrought in endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer: whether we are comforted, for your comfort and salvation. read more. And our hope firm for you, knowing, that as ye are participators of the sufferings, so also of the comfort.

Who saved us from so great a death, and does save: in whom we have hoped also that he will yet save; And ye serving together for us in prayer, that of many faces, the favor to us by many thanks be returned by us. For our boasting is this, the testimony of our consciousness, that in simplicity and purity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we turned back in the world, and more eminently to you.

For our boasting is this, the testimony of our consciousness, that in simplicity and purity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we turned back in the world, and more eminently to you.

And in this confidence I wished to come to you before, that ye might have a second grace; And by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia, to come to you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea. read more. Therefore I resolved this, much less did I use levity: or what I resolve, do I resolve according to the flesh, that there be with me yea, yea, and nay, nay And God faithful, for our word to you was not yea or nay.

And I determined this to myself, not to come to you again in sadness.

And I wrote this same to you lest, coming, I should have sadness from whom I ought to rejoice, trusting to you all, that mine is the joy of you all.

Sufficient to such a one this enjoyment of the esteem of the many. So that on the contrary ye should rather show kindness, and console, lest perhaps such be swallowed down with more abundant sadness. read more. Wherefore I beseech you to confirm love to him. For, for this I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, if ye are obedient for all things.

And coming to Troas for the good news of Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the Lord,

And coming to Troas for the good news of Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the Lord, I have had no relaxation to my spirit, in my not finding Titus my brother: but having taken leave of them, I went out to Macedonia.

I have had no relaxation to my spirit, in my not finding Titus my brother: but having taken leave of them, I went out to Macedonia. Grace to God, always leading us to triumph in Christ, and making manifest the order of his knowledge by us in every place.

For God, having spoken light to shine out of darkness, who shone in our hearts, to the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the eminence of power be of God, and not of us.

And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the eminence of power be of God, and not of us.

Always bearing about in the body the death of the Lord Jesus, that also the life of Jesus be made manifest in our body.

Wherefore we lose not courage; but if also our man without is destroyed, but he within is renewed day and day.

For we know that if our earthly house of the tent were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

And we are confident, and are contented rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home in the Lord.

For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ; that each might receive the things for the body, for what he did, good or bad. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; and we are made manifest to God; and I hope also to have been made manifest to your consciences. read more. For not again do we recommend ourselves to you, but giving you occasion for boasting over us, that ye might have for them boasting in face, and not in heart.

And working together, we also beseech, lest also ye receive the grace of God in vain.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the service be not blamed:

Be not unequally yoked together with the unbelieving: for what participation to justice and iniquity and what communion to light with darkness?

Much freedom of speech to me toward you; to me much boasting over you: I am filled with consolation, I superabound in joy in all your pressure. read more. For also, we having come to Macedonia, our flesh had no relaxation, but pressed in everything; without conflicts, within fears. But God, comforting the humble, comforted us in the arrival of Titus; And not only in his arrival, but also in the comfort which he was comforted in you, announcing to us your anxious desire, your lamentations, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more.

And not only in his arrival, but also in the comfort which he was comforted in you, announcing to us your anxious desire, your lamentations, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more.

Now I rejoice, not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved to repentance: for ye were grieved according to God, that ye be injured in nothing by us. For grief according to God works repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but grief of the world works death.

For grief according to God works repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but grief of the world works death.

In every thing ye recommended yourselves to be holy in this affair.

For behold, this same that ye grieve according to God, what care it wrought in you, but defence, but indignation, but fear, but anxious desire, but zeal, but punishing!

Wherefore, if I also wrote to you, not for him having been unjust, for him having suffered injustice, but that your care for us might be made manifest to you before God.

Wherefore, if I also wrote to you, not for him having been unjust, for him having suffered injustice, but that your care for us might be made manifest to you before God. Therefore have we been comforted in your comfort: and we rejoiced more abundantly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed from you all.

Therefore have we been comforted in your comfort: and we rejoiced more abundantly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed from you all. For if I have boasted anything to him of you, I was not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so also was our boasting over Titus the truth.

For if I have boasted anything to him of you, I was not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so also was our boasting over Titus the truth. And his bowels are more abundantly to you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and tremor ye received him.

And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God given in the churches of Macedonia;

And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God given in the churches of Macedonia;

And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God given in the churches of Macedonia; That in much proof of pressure the abundance of their joy and their poverty according to depth abounded to the abundance of their simplicity. read more. For according to power, I testify, and above power chosen voluntarily; Praying us with much entreaty that we receive the grace and participation of the service for saints. And not as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. So that we besought Titus, that as he began before, so also he would complete to us this grace also.

And not only, but also the hand stretched out by the churches for our fellow-traveller with this grace, served by us to the glory of the same Lord, and to your forwardness:

For I know your forwardness, which I boast of for you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was prepared from last year; and zeal from you excited the many more.

Therefore I thought necessary to beseech the brethren that they go before to you, and prepare beforehand your praise, having been proclaimed beforehand, this same to be prepared, so as praise, and not as covetousness. And this, He sowing sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he sowing in praises shall reap also in praises. read more. Each as he chooses in the heart; not of grief, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver. And God able for all grace to abound in you; having always all sufficiency in everything, ye abound in every good work: (As has been written, He scattered; he gave to the poor: his justice remains forever. And now he furnishing seed to him sowing, and bread for food, furnish and multiply your sowing-season, and increase the fruits of your justice;) Enriched in everything in all simplicity, which works through us gratitude to God. For the service of this office is not only filling up the wants of the saints, but also abounding through many thanks to God; By the proof of this service honouring God for the subjection of your assent to the good news of Christ, and to the simplicity of mutual participation to them and to all; And by their prayer for you, longing for you through the exceeding grace of God upon you. And grace to God for his indescribable gift.

And I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and equity of Christ, who, in face truly low with you, but at a distance bold towards you:

And I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and equity of Christ, who, in face truly low with you, but at a distance bold towards you:

(For truly the epistles, he says, weighty and strong; but the presence of the body weak, and the word counted as nothing.)

I would ye hold me up a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they Abraham's seed? I also. Are they Christ's servants? (I speak being light-headed) I above; in toils more abundant, in blows more excessively, in watchings more abundantly, in deaths often. read more. Of the Jews five times I received forty, except one. Thrice was I scourged with rods, once was I stoned, thrice suffered I shipwreck, I have made a night and day in the deep; In journeys often, in dangers of rivers, in dangers of robbers, in dangers of the family, in dangers from the nations, in dangers in the city, in dangers in solitude, in dangers in the sea, in dangers with false brethren; In fatigue and toil, in watchfulnesses often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Besides things outside, my distraction daily, the care of all the churches.

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

And lest I be lifted up by the eminence of Revelation, a thorn in the flesh was given me, a messenger of Satan, that he might cuff me, lest I be lifted up.

And lest I be lifted up by the eminence of Revelation, a thorn in the flesh was given me, a messenger of Satan, that he might cuff me, lest I be lifted up. For this thrice besought I the Lord, that it remove away from me. read more. And he said to me, My grace suffices thee: for my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore very willingly will I boast rather in my weaknesses, that Christ's power may lodge upon me.

Behold, I have prepared to come to you the third time; and I will not act with negligence to you: for I seek not your things, but you: for children ought not to treasure up for parents, but parents for children.

Not any of whom I have sent to you have I by him taken advantage of you. I called for Titus, and sent with a brother. Has Titus taken advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? not in the same steps??

I called for Titus, and sent with a brother. Has Titus taken advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? not in the same steps?? Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves to you? before God in Christ we speak: and all things, beloved, for your building up.

Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves to you? before God in Christ we speak: and all things, beloved, for your building up. For I am afraid, lest somehow, having come, I find you not such; as I will, and I find you such as ye wish not: lest somehow, strifes, jealousies, wraths, intrigues, calumnies, whisperings, inflations, derangements: read more. Lest, coming again, my God should humble me with you, and I shall mourn for many of them having sinned before, and not having repented for uncleanness, and fornication, and licentiousness which they committed.

Greet ye one another in a holy kiss All the holy ones greet you. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit with you all. Amen.

Returning thanks to the Father, having rendered us fitting for the portion of the lot of the holy in light:
