Because, as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so also our encouragement abounds through the Christ.

But whether we are oppressed, it is for your encouragement and salvation, which works by endurance from the same sufferings that we also experience (and our hope for you is steadfast), or we are encouraged, it is for your encourage

knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.

Who rescued us out of so great a death, and does rescue, in whom we have hoped that he will also still rescue.

For we write no other thing to you, but rather what ye read or also acknowledge. And I hope ye will also acknowledge until the end,

as also ye did acknowledge us in part, because we are your boast, just as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

He also is who put a seal on us, and who gave the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

For I also wrote for this, so that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.

But to whom ye forgive anything, I too. For I also, whom I have forgiven (if anything), I have forgiven because of you in the presence of Christ,

who also made us qualified helpers of a new covenant, not of a document, but of a spirit, for the document kills but the spirit makes alive.

For also that which has been glorified, has not been glorified in this regard, because of the glory that transcends.

Always carrying around in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our body.

For we who live are always given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh.

And having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, therefore I spoke, we also believe, and therefore we speak,

knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up through Jesus, and will present us with you.

For also in this we groan, longing to clothe ourselves with our habitation from heaven,

if indeed also having put it on we will not be found naked.

For also those who are in the tent groan, being burdened, not in that we want to undress, but to clothe ourselves, so that the mortal may be swallowed up by the life.

Now he who wrought us for this same thing is God, who also gave us the pledge of the Spirit.

Therefore also we aspire, whether at home or away from home, to be well-pleasing to him.

Having seen therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. But we have been manifested to God, and I hope also to have been manifested in your consciences.

And working jointly, we urge you also not to receive the grace of God in vain

But I speak the same recompense as to children, be ye also enlarged.

And not only by his presence, but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged by you, reporting to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.

Because, if I have boasted anything to him about you, I am not ashamed, but as we spoke all things in truth to you, so also our boast to Titus became truth.

for us to urge Titus that, as he earlier began this kindness, so he would even finish it for you also.

But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, be that ye may also abound in this kindness.

I speak not from commandment, but because of the zeal of others, also examining the genuineness of your love.

And in this I give judgment, for this is expedient for you who earlier began, from a year ago, not only the doing but also the intending.

And now also finish the doing, so that just as was the willingness of the intending, so also to finish from the having.

So that the abundance of those men may also happen for your need, so that there may become equity,

And not only so, but who was also chosen by the congregations, a traveling companion of us with this gift administered by us, for the glory of the same Lord and our willingness.

providing things right, not only in the sight of Lord, but also in the sight of men.

But this, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows in blessings will also reap in blessings.

Because the service of this ministry is not only supplying the needs of the sanctified, but also abounding through many thanksgivings to God

Do ye look at things according to appearance. If any man has convinced himself to be of Christ, let him consider this again of himself, that, as he is of Christ, so also are we of Christ.

For even if I also should boast somewhat more abundantly about our authority (which the Lord gave us for building up, and not for tearing you down), I will not be shamed,

Let such a man think this, that such kind we are in word by letters when absent, we are also such kind when present in the work.

But what I do, I also will do, so that I may cut off the opportunity of those who desire an opportunity, that in what they boast, they might appear just as we also.

Therefore, it is no great thing if his helpers also disguise themselves as helpers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

I say again, let not any man think me to be foolish, but if otherwise--even if as foolish--accept me, so that I also may boast some a little.

For even if he was crucified from weakness, yet he lives from the power of God. For we in him are also weak, but we will live with him from the power of God toward you.

For we are glad when we are weak and ye are strong. And this also we pray for, your full qualification.
