Not that we are masters of your faith, but we are aiders of your joy: for ye have stood in the faith.

And having the same spirit of faith, according to that written, I believed, therefore I spake: and we believe, and therefore we speak;

(For we walk by faith, and not by external appearance:)

But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and in word, and in knowledge, and in all care, and in love from you to us, that also ye abound in this grace.

Not boasting in things immeasurable, in the toils of others; and having hope, your faith being increased, to be enlarged in you according to our rule for abundance,

Try yourselves, if ye are in the faith; prove yourselves. Or know ye not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless ye are not tried?
