It is true that we have our full share of the sufferings of the Christ, but through the Christ we have also our full share of consolation.

For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.

For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.

And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

For we must all be made manifest, in our true characters, before the Judgment-seat of Christ; so that each one may receive according to that which he has done in his body, whether good or evil.

On the contrary, I am trying in everything to prove to people that I am a true servant of God: by my tremendous endurance in sorrows, distresses, difficulties;

In a clean heart, in knowledge, in long waiting, in being kind, in the Holy Spirit, in true love,

by a true teaching and an energy divine; by the weapons of righteousness, for attack or for defense,

through glory and dishonour, through bad report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true,

as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, but not put to death;

So though I sent you a letter, it was not only because of the man who did the wrong, or because of him to whom the wrong was done, but so that your true care for us might be made clear in the eyes of God.

For if I have boasted anything to him about you, I have not been put to shame, but as I have spoken everything to you in truth, thus also our boasting to Titus {has proven to be true}.

Make clear then to them, as representatives of the churches, the quality of your love, and that the things which we have said about you are true.

But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready:

But this is true, he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in the spirit of blessing shall reap also in blessing:

We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ,

As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

What I am doing now I shall continue to do, that I may cut away the ground from under those who are wishing for some ground for attacking me, so that as regards the thing of which they boast they may appear in their true characters, just as we do.

for these are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguised so as to pass for true apostles.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be praise for ever, is witness that the things which I say are true.

It is necessary to boast, though nothing is gained by it; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

tho' if I had a mind to glory, I might do it without vanity, for I should say nothing but what is true: but now I forbear, lest any man should ascribe more to me than my actions, or my preaching can justify.

In truth the signs of the true apostle were wrought among you in all patience by signs and marvels and powers.

Because we are able to do nothing against what is true, but only for it.
