For through much affliction and distress of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that ye might be grieved, but that ye might know the love with which I abound towards you.

being manifest that ye are the epistle of Christ, through our ministration, written not with ink, but by the Spirit of the living God; not on tables of stone, but on tables of the heart of flesh.

And such confidence have we through Christ towards God:

For all these things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the gratitude of many redound to the glory of God.

by love unfeigned, by the word of truth, by the power of God, with the armour of righteousness on the right and on the left; through honor and dishonor,

through evil report and good report;

And we have sent along with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is spread through all the churches:

being in every thing enriched to all liberality, which produceth through us thanksgiving to God.

For the ministration of this service not only supplieth the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also, through many thanksgivings, to the glory of God.

(for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the demolishing of bulwarks:)

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