Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

if the foot may say, 'Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body;

and if the ear may say, 'Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?

for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,

and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;

because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

And to whom ye forgive anything -- I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven it, because of you -- in the person of Christ -- I forgive it,

because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face -- which was being made useless,

for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious -- in this respect, because of the superior glory;

Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus -- Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;

because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,

for the all things are because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;

because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent -- if even I did repent -- for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry.

because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all;

because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,

because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, did abound to the riches of their liberality;

because, according to their power, I testify, and above their power, they were willing of themselves,

not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness,

for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor -- being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

because indeed the exhortation he accepted, and being more diligent, of his own accord he went forth unto you,

because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God upon you;

because the letters indeed -- saith one -- are weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.'

The sin did I do -- myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?

The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;

wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known!

because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage,

And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy,

and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;'

and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!'

Become as I am -- because I also am as ye brethren, I beseech you; to me ye did no hurt,

and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

for it hath been written, 'Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many are the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.'

because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during;

Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,

and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

because through him we have the access -- we both -- in one Spirit unto the Father.

being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,

Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what is the will of the Lord,

because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;

because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done -- to stand.

according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;

because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.

seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,

because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.

But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;

yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,

because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent;

because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news,

Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,

because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,

because in him doth tabernacle all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,

because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,

because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you,

so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because beloved ye have become to us,

Because of this also, we -- we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;

for ye became imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because such things ye suffered, even ye, from your own countrymen, as also they from the Jews,

because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

because now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord;

for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God?

that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger is the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to you and testified,

because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing -- because our testimony was believed among you -- in that day;

let not any one deceive you in any manner, because -- if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed -- the son of the destruction,

and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,

and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

for yourselves have known how it behoveth you to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;

not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;

who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,

but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

because every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, with thanksgiving being received,

for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men -- especially of those believing.

having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,

no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using, because of thy stomach and of thine often infirmities;

and those having believing masters, let them not slight them, because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;

may the Lord give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because many times he did refresh me, and of my chain was not ashamed,

because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that is in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during.

and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise -- to salvation, through faith that is in Christ Jesus;

for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.

because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;

for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him,

thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee -- God, thy God -- with oil of gladness above thy partners;'

are they not all spirits of service -- for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
