For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire.

Each one must give just as he has purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is weak, and his speech of no account."

To my shame, I must say that we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast aboutI am speaking as a foolI also dare to boast about.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I do not inwardly burn?

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.

That is why, for Christ's sake, I am content in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

since you desire proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you.

For he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God for you.

For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. What we pray for is your perfection.
