If you forgive the man, I forgive him, too; for whatever I have forgiven has been forgiven in the presence of Christ,

But even if my gospel, too, is "veiled," it is among those who are on the way to perish that it is "veiled."

For your pain came from God, and so you took no harm from me. For the pain which is from God works repentance leading to salvation, a repentance never to be regretted. But the world's pain works death.

For I can testify that according to their ability, and even beyond their ability, of their own free will, too, they have given help.

Other churches I spoiled, and took their wages to do you service.

I say again, let no one think me a fool. Or, if you must, at least bear with me as a fool, that I, too, may do a little boasting.

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

I say that I was weak, and yet for whatever reason any one is bold (I speak in mere folly) I too am bold.
