For we are not writing [anything] else to you except what you can read or also understand. But I hope that you will understand {completely},

For if I [cause] you sorrow, then who will make me glad except the one who is caused to be sad by me?

For if the one who comes proclaims another Jesus whom we have not proclaimed, or you receive a different spirit which you did not receive, or a different gospel which you did not accept, you put up with [it] well [enough]!

Again I say, do not let anyone think I am foolish. But indeed, if [you do], accept me even as foolish, in order that I also may boast a little.

On behalf of such a person I will boast, but on behalf of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

{For in what respect are you made worse off} more than the rest of the churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
