For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.

who delivered us out of so great a death, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will also deliver us again;

you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.

as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him they are "Amen," to the glory of God through us.

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

For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.

Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

who also made us sufficient as servants of a New Covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;

knowing that he who raised Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.

Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,

Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide.

and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more.

For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.

But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love from us that is in you, see that you also abound in this grace.

I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.

but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality.

Not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.

Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many thanksgivings to God;

while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's.

Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.

Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.

I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

For indeed he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.
