because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

and whether we be in tribulation, it is for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort and salvation;

and our hope is stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings -- so also of the comfort.

ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,

according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus;

who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.

And to whom ye forgive anything -- I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven it, because of you -- in the person of Christ -- I forgive it,

who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.

for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious -- in this respect, because of the superior glory;

and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,

at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,

for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,

And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, 'I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;

knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,

wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,

for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.

And He who did work us to this self-same thing is God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him,

having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested;

And working together also we call upon you that ye receive not in vain the grace of God --

and as a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say it,) be ye enlarged -- also ye!

for also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without are fightings, within -- fears;

and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice,

If, then, I also wrote to you -- not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God --

because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,

so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he did begin before, so also he may finish to you also this favour,

but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace ye may abound;

and an opinion in this do I give: for this to you is expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin before -- a year ago,

and now also finish doing it, that even as there is the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which ye have,

but by equality, at the present time your abundance -- for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality,

and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies, our fellow-traveller, with this favour that is ministered by us, unto the glory of the same Lord, and your willing mind;

providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men;

And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap;

because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift!

The things in presence do ye see? if any one hath trusted in himself to be Christ's, this let him reckon again from himself, that according as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's;

for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed;

This one -- let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, we are in deed.

O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but ye also do bear with me:

and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;

no great thing, then, if also his ministrants do transform themselves as ministrants of righteousness -- whose end shall be according to their works.

Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, even as a fool receive me, that I also a little may boast.

since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:

in reference to dishonour I speak, how that we were weak, and in whatever any one is bold -- in foolishness I say it -- I also am bold.

Hebrews are they? I also! Israelites are they? I also! seed of Abraham are they? I also!

for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.

for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for -- your perfection!
