And in this confidence we would gladly leave our home in the body, and make our home with the Lord.

Make room for us in your hearts. In no instance have we ever wronged, or harmed, or taken advantage of, any one.

So, then, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrong-doer, or of the man who was wronged, but to make you conscious, in the sight of God, of your own earnest care for us. And it is this that has encouraged us.

For we are trying to make arrangements which shall be right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men.

Now, I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ--I who, "in your presence, am humble in my bearing towards you, but, when absent, am bold in my language to you"--

'Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord.'
