For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us??y me and Silvanus and Timotheus??as not yea and nay, but there was yea in him;

for all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.

Wherefore, on the contrary, ye rather ought to forgive and comfort him, lest such a one be swallowed up with excess of sorrow.

Wherefore I exhort you to confirm your love towards him.

wherefore also our ambition is, that whether dwelling in the body, or out of the body, we may be acceptable to him.

and he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him that died for them, and rose again.

Wherefore from the present moment know we no man after the flesh: yea though we have also known Christ after the flesh, yet so henceforth know we him no more.

For he hath made him, who knew no sin, to be a sin offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

WE then as labourers with him, exhort you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:

For if I have boasted of you to him in any thing, I am not ashamed; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so our boasting of you to Titus hath been found truth.

And his bowels more abundantly yearn over you, when he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

We have sent with him also a brother, whose praise in the gospel is [spread] through all the churches;

And we have sent with him our brother, whom we have often experienced in many things to be a man of diligence, but now much more diligent, through the great confidence which I have in you.

Regard ye the things that are personal? If any man is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him reflect again in himself, that as he is Christ's, so are we Christ's.

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

For if he indeed that cometh preach another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not embraced, ye might well bear with him.

I entreated Titus [to go to you], and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?

For though he was crucified in weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God: for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God [displayed] towards you.
