not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy. For in respect to faith ye stand firm.

But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke," we also believe, and therefore speak;

for we walk by faith, not by sight; but we have courage,

But as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this exercise of liberality also.

not boasting of things that are without measure, in other mens labors, but having hope, when your faith is increased, that our line will through you be still further extended,

Try yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless ye are unapproved?
