For Christ Jesus, the Son of God, the one being preached by us, through me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but it was yes in him.

For so many promises of God, in Him are yes; therefore indeed through him they are Amen unto the glory to God through us.

so on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one may be swallowed up with excessive grief.

Therefore I exhort you to stir up your divine love for him:

Therefore we are truly ambitious, whether being present or absent, to be well pleasing unto him.

and he died for all, in order that those living may not live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them and is risen.

So that we from now know no man after the flesh: if indeed we have known Christ after the flesh, but we now know him no more.

He made him sin in our behalf, who knew no sin; in order that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

because if I have gloried with him in anything over you, I wag not made ashamed; but as I spoke all things to you in truth, so our rejoicing over Titus was true.

And the affections of him, remembering the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling, are the more abundantly towards you.

But we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is through all the churches;

And we sent our brother along with him to them, whom we have tried, being frequently zealous in many things, but now much more zealous, with great confidence towards you.

Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If any has trusted to himself that he belongs to Christ, let him again consider this in reference to himself, that as he belongs to Christ, so do we also.

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord;

For if indeed one coming preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel which you did not receive, well do you bear with him.

Which one of those whom I sent unto you, did I fleece you through him?

I called Titus, and sent the brother along with him: whether did Titus defraud you? did we not walk by the same Spirit? did we not in the same tracks?

For indeed he was crucified from weakness, but he lives by the power of God: for we indeed are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God unto you.
