For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

For out of much tribulation and anguish of heart I wrote to you, through many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly toward you.

For, if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

for, if that which is passing away comes through glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

For our momentary light tribulation is working out for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

and not by his coming only, but also by the consolation with which he was consoled over you; rehearsing to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more:

For this cause, we have been consoled; but, in our consolation, we rejoice the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

And his tender affections are more abundantly toward you, while he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

And we sent with them our brother, whom we often in many things proved to be diligent, but now much more diligent by reason of his great confidence in you.

For, even if I glory somewhat more abundantly concerning our authority??hich the Lord gave for building you up, and not for tearing you down?? shall not be put to shame;

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often;

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