Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and who anointed us, is God.

Now having come to Troas for the good-news of the Christ, and a door having been opened to me in Lord,

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of Lord is, there is liberty.

Now he who wrought us for this same thing is God, who also gave us the pledge of the Spirit.

So that henceforth we know no man according to flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know him no longer.

(for he says, At an acceptable time I heard thee, and in a day of salvation I helped thee. Behold, now is an acceptable time. Behold, now is a day of salvation),

Now I rejoice, not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved for repentance. For ye were grieved toward God, so that ye might suffer loss from us in nothing.

And now also finish the doing, so that just as was the willingness of the intending, so also to finish from the having.

And we sent along with them our brother whom we often proved being diligent in many things, but is now much more diligent (with much confidence toward you)

Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who indeed am lowly in presence among you, but am bold toward you when absent.

I have told you before, and I say in advance, as present the second time, and now absent, I write to those who have previously sinned, and to all the others, that if I come to it again, I will not spare,

Now I pray to God, to do you nothing harmful, not that we would appear test-passing, but that ye would do right, even like we might be test-failing.
