For out of much distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that ye should be made sorrowful, but that ye might know the exceeding love which I have for you.

shall not the ministration of the Spirit be much more glorious?

For if the ministration of condemnation had glory, much greater is the glory of the ministration of righteousness.

For if that which was to be done away was glorious, much more glorious is that which endureth.

but as Gods ministers recommending ourselves in all things, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

begging of us with much entreaty the favor of sharing in the ministration to the saints;

as it is written: "He that gathered much, had nothing over; and he that gathered little, had no lack."

And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often in many things proved to be zealous, but now much more zealous through the great confidence which he hath in you.

And that I might not be too much lifted up by the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be too much lifted up.
