Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,

for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, namely, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

Since many boast according to the flesh, I will boast also.

since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.
