Since all can see that you are a letter of Christ transcribed by men, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.

For I am not overstepping the limits of my authority, as though I reached you not; since I have already come even as far as Corinth to proclaim the gospel of Christ.

Since so many are making worldly boasts, I shall boast, too!

Since you want a proof of Christ who is speaking in me, he who is not feeble toward you, but powerful among you.
