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

Even when I lacked the actual necessities of life while I was with you, I was a burden to no one; for whatever I lacked, the brothers from Macedonia supplied, when they came. So I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

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