For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are Yes. And so through him we speak our Amen to the glory of God.

But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.

All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;

We are therefore ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

But as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, distresses,

through glory and dishonor, evil report and good report; true, yet regarded as impostors;

now I rejoice, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance; for you became sorrowful as God intended, so that you suffered no loss through us.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that through his poverty you might become rich.

You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.

I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped his hands.

Did I take advantage of you through any of those whom I sent to you?
