For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye will acknowledge even to the end;

For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same who is made sorry by me?

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

Now then we are embassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

We then, as co-workers with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
