Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak foolishly) I more: in labours more abundantly, in stripes more exceedingly, in prisons more abundantly, in deaths often.

You likewise helping together with us by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, through his great confidence in you.

And I will most gladly spend, and be spent for your souls, though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
