The Son of God, Christ Jesus, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus, Timothy, and I, you have not found wavering between "Yes" and "No." With him it has always been "Yes,"

For that is why I wrote you??o find out how you would stand the test, and see if you would obey me absolutely.

When I went to Troas to preach the good news of the Christ there, I found a good opening for the Lord's work,

but my mind could not rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.

for if I do, I shall never find myself disembodied.

I put no obstacles in anyone's path, so that no fault may be found with my work.

I mean to have no one able to find any fault with the way I handle this munificence.

It is really unnecessary for me to write to you about this fund for your fellow-Christians,

for if some people from Macedonia come with me, and find that you are not ready, it will humiliate me??o say nothing of you??or having expressed such confidence.

for I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you not as I want to find you, and that you may find me not as you want to find me. I am afraid that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, bad feeling, rivalry, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder,

Even if he was crucified through weakness, by the power of God he is alive. For we are weak as he was, but you will find that by the power of God we will be alive as he is.
