Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For our boasting is this, the testimony of our consciousness, that in simplicity and purity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we turned back in the world, and more eminently to you.

And in this confidence I wished to come to you before, that ye might have a second grace;

Grace to God, always leading us to triumph in Christ, and making manifest the order of his knowledge by us in every place.

For all things for you, that grace, having abounded by the many, might abound in thanksgiving to the glory of God.

And working together, we also beseech, lest also ye receive the grace of God in vain.

And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God given in the churches of Macedonia;

Praying us with much entreaty that we receive the grace and participation of the service for saints.

So that we besought Titus, that as he began before, so also he would complete to us this grace also.

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.

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for you he was in a state of beggary, being rich; that ye in his poverty might be rich.

And grace to God, having given the same care for you in the heart of Titus.

And not only, but also the hand stretched out by the churches for our fellow-traveller with this grace, served by us to the glory of the same Lord, and to your forwardness:

And God able for all grace to abound in you; having always all sufficiency in everything, ye abound in every good work:

And by their prayer for you, longing for you through the exceeding grace of God upon you.

And grace to God for his indescribable gift.

And he said to me, My grace suffices thee: for my power is perfected in weakness. Therefore very willingly will I boast rather in my weaknesses, that Christ's power may lodge upon me.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit with you all. Amen.
