Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

But as fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:

whether on behalf of Titus my partner and co-workman for you, or our brothers, apostles of congregations, a glory of Christ.

Not only so, however, but he hath also been appointed by the assemblies, as a fellow-traveler with us in this favour, which is being ministered by us with a view to the Lord's glory and our earnest desire: -

and begged me most earnestly, of their own accord, to let them share in the support of their fellow-Christians.

It is really unnecessary for me to write to you about this fund for your fellow-Christians,

But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, crafty fellow that I am, I took you in by deceit.

For the rendering of a public service such as this, not only relieves the needs of your fellow-Christians, but also results in the offering to God of many a thanksgiving.

for these are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguised so as to pass for true apostles.
