Why, I felt in my heart that the end must be death. That was to keep me from relying on myself instead of on God, who can even raise the dead.

You must help me by your prayers, so that many will give thanks to God on my behalf for the blessing granted me in answer to many prayers.

and so you must now turn around and forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by his remorse.

surely the administration of the Spirit must be invested with still greater glory.

If there was splendor in the religion of condemnation, the religion of uprightness must far surpass it in splendor.

For if what faded away came with splendor, how much more splendid what is permanent must be!

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every man may receive the works of his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

To pay me back, I tell you, my children, you must open your hearts too.

I must tell you, brothers, how the favor of God has been shown in the churches of Macedonia,

Just as you excel in everything else??aith, expression, knowledge, perfect devotion, and the love we have awakened in you??ou must excel in this generous undertaking too.

If I must say anything about Titus, he is my intimate companion, and he shares my work for you; if it is our Brothers, they are delegates of the Churches, an honor to Christ.

So you must give proof to them before all the churches of your love, and justify my pride in you.

So I have thought that I must ask these brothers to visit you beforehand, and get your promised contribution ready in advance. I want it to be given of your bounty, not extorted from your covetousness.

Everyone must give what he has made up his mind to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion; God loves a man who is glad to give.

The way you stand the test of this service must do honor to God, through your fidelity to what you profess as to the good news of Christ, and through the liberality of your contributions for them and for all others;

"But the man who boasts must boast in the Lord.

Let me say again that no one must think that I am a fool, but if you do, please treat me like a fool and let me do a little boasting too, as other fools do.

To my shame I must admit that I was too weak for that sort of thing. But whatever anyone else dares to boast of?? am playing the part of a fool?? will dare to boast of too.

If I must needs rejoice, I will rejoice of mine infirmities.

I must boast, although it does not do any good. Let's talk about visions and revelations from the Lord.

And I know that this man?? do not know whether it was in the body or out of it, God knows??4 was caught up into Paradise, and heard things that must not be told, which no human being can repeat.

was actually caught up into paradise, and heard things that must not be told, which no man has a right even to mention.

For what is there in which the other churches had the better of you, except in the fact that I would not permit myself to be a burden to you? You must forgive me that wrong!

This is my third visit to you. Any charge preferred must be sustained by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

You yourselves must continue testing yourselves to see whether you are continuing in the faith. You must continue standing the test. Do you not know by a growing experience that Jesus Christ is in you? -- provided you stand the test.
