He comforts me in all my trouble, so that I can comfort people who are in any trouble with the comfort with which I myself am comforted by God.

Why, I felt in my heart that the end must be death. That was to keep me from relying on myself instead of on God, who can even raise the dead.

For what I am writing to you is only what you can read and understand, and I hope that you will understand it fully,

As surely as God can be relied on, there has been no equivocation about our message to you.

Do not get into close and incongruous relations with unbelievers. What partnership can uprightness have with iniquity, or what can light have to do with darkness?

How can Christ agree with Belial? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

What bargain can a temple of God make with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, just as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, And I will be their God and they will be my people."

So since we have promises like these, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves of everything that can defile body or spirit, and by reverence for God make our consecration complete.

I am glad that I can feel perfect confidence in you.

For they have given to the utmost of their ability, as I can bear them witness, and beyond it,

You will grow rich in every way, so that through me you can show perfect liberality that will make men thank God for it.

And I know that this man?? do not know whether it was in the body or out of it, God knows??4 was caught up into Paradise, and heard things that must not be told, which no human being can repeat.
