Then wishing this, whether did I use lightness of purpose? or the things which I counsel, do I counsel according to the flesh, in order that it may be with me yes yes and no no?

But I call God to witness to my soul, that sparing you I did not yet come into Corinth:

and I had no rest to my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus: but having bidden them adieu, I came away into Macedonia.

But if I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret it, if indeed I did regret it; for I see that, if that letter indeed grieved you for an hour,

For behold, how great enthusiasm, yes, how great apology, yes, how great clearing up, yes, how great fear, yes, how great longing, yes, how great zeal, yes, how great avenging, this same godly sorrow did work in you! In everything you have established yourselves to be pure in the matter.

as has been written, He that had much did not super-abound; and he that had little did not lack.

For if indeed one coming preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel which you did not receive, well do you bear with him.

Did I commit sin humbling myself that you may be exalted, because I preached unto you the gospel of God gratuitously?

I have become a fool: you did compel me. For I ought to be commended by you: for I am not inferior to the very chief of the apostles, if indeed I am nothing.

For what is that in which you are inferior to other churches, except that I did not burden you? forgive me this wrong.

But let it he so, I did not burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

Which one of those whom I sent unto you, did I fleece you through him?

I called Titus, and sent the brother along with him: whether did Titus defraud you? did we not walk by the same Spirit? did we not in the same tracks?
