But I call God to witness on my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet to Corinth:

So that when I came to Troas on account of the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened to me in the Lord,

For if that, which was to be taken away, came with glory, much more that which abideth is glorious.

For when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

And when I was present among you, and in want, I was chargeable to no one. For the brethren that came from Macedonia supplied my want: and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.
