Now I rejoice, not because you were made sad, but because you were made sad to the point of repentance. For you were made sad as God intended, so that you were not harmed in any way by us.

cargo such as gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all sorts of things made of citron wood, all sorts of objects made of ivory, all sorts of things made of expensive wood, bronze, iron and marble,

For even if I made you sad by my letter, I do not regret having written it (even though I did regret it, for I see that my letter made you sad, though only for a short time).

"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands and in three days build another not made with hands.'"

Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low, and the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways will be made smooth,

The God who made the world and everything in it, who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by human hands,

For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man many will be made righteous.

Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust, and like the one from heaven, so too those who are heavenly.
