But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, in order that the excellency of the power, may be of God, and not of us;

always bearing about the dying of Jesus in our body, in order that the life of Jesus may also be made manifest in our bodies.

For we while living are always being delivered up to death for the sake of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

For all things are for your sakes, in order that the grace, overflowing with thanksgiving through many, may abound unto the glory of God.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle may be taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

For indeed being in this tabernacle we groan, being burdened; not that we wish to be divested, but invested, that mortality may be swallowed up of life.

For it behooves us all to appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, in order that each one may receive according to those things which he has done through the body, whether good or evil.

We are not commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion of boasting in our behalf, in order that you may have response to those who glory in appearance, and not in heart.

and he died for all, in order that those living may not live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them and is risen.

He made him sin in our behalf, who knew no sin; in order that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, in order that the ministry may not be blamed;

And what harmony has the temple of God with idols? for we are the temple of the living God; as God said; I will live in them, and walk about among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

and I will be to you for a Father, and you shall be unto me for sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

My boldness to you is great, my rejoicing over you is much: I have been filled with consolation, I superabound with joy in all our tribulation.

and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted by you, proclaiming unto us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced the more.

now I rejoice, not because you grieved, but because you grieved unto repentance: for you grieved toward God, in order that you may receive damage by us in nothing.

that we should exhort Titus, that as he formerly began it, he may indeed also complete this grace unto you.

But as in every thing you abound, in faith, and in word, and knowledge, and in all zeal, and in divine love from you in us, that you may also abound in this philanthropy.

And herein I give my judgement: for this is profitable to you, who not only began to do, but to be anxious, a year ago:

For if there is first a willing mind, it is acceptable according to what one may have, and not according to what he has not.

For it is not that there may be relief to others, affliction to you, but that it may be according to equality: at this time your abundance may correspond to their deficiency,

that their abundance may correspond with your deficiency, in order that there may be equality:

and avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this benefaction administered by us:

Whether in behalf of Titus, my companion and fellow-laborer towards you; or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.

For indeed concerning the ministry which is to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you.

But I sent the brethren, in order that our boasting which is in your behalf may not be in vain in this region; in order that, as I was saying, your were ready:

lest perhaps, if the Macedonians may come with me, and find you unprepared, we may be put to shame, in this confidence, (that we may say not, you).

Therefore I considered it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they may come to you beforehand, and perfect your preannounced benefaction, that it may be ready, as a benefaction, not as a stingy contribution.

But God is able to make all grace abound unto you; in order that, always having all sufficiency in every thing, you may abound unto every good work: as has been written,

but I pray, that being present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I consider myself bold towards certain ones who regard us as walking about according to the flesh.

and being ready to avenge every disobedience, when your obedience may be complete.

in order that I may not seem as it were to terrify you by my letters.

I would that you bear with me a little in my folly: yes indeed you do bear with me.

but I fear, lest, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity which is in Christ.

Did I commit sin humbling myself that you may be exalted, because I preached unto you the gospel of God gratuitously?

for the brethren, having come from Macedonia, supplied my deficiency; and in everything I rendered myself not burdensome to you, and will so render.

The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not cease unto me in the regions of Achaia.

But what I am doing, I indeed will do, in order that I may cut off occasion from those wishing occasion, in order that in whatsoever they may glory, they may be found even as we are.

Again I say, Let no one consider me to be a fool; but if not, receive me as a fool, in order that I may indeed glory some little.

Often in journeys, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own race, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

Besides all these, that which comes upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

But if it behooves me to glory, I will glory in those things appertaining to my infirmities.

In Damascus Areta the governor of the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to arrest me:

It behooves me to glory, indeed it is not profitable, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

Concerning such a one I will glory: but concerning myself I will not glory, except in my infirmities.

For if I shall wish to glory, I will not be a fool; for I speak the truth: but I fear, lest some one may consider with reference to me above what he sees me, or hears from me.

And that I may not be exalted by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given unto me in the flesh, the messenger of Satan that he may buffet me, in order that I may not be exalted.

Three times I called on the Lord concerning this, that it may depart from me.

And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most delightfully I will glory the more in my infirmities, in order that the power of Christ may abide on me.

I have become a fool: you did compel me. For I ought to be commended by you: for I am not inferior to the very chief of the apostles, if indeed I am nothing.

For indeed the signs of the apostleship are wrought in me in all patience, in miracles and in wonders and in dynamites.

For what is that in which you are inferior to other churches, except that I did not burden you? forgive me this wrong.

For I fear lest, having come, I may not find you as I wish, and may not be found by you as you wish; lest perhaps strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, calumniations, eavesdroppings, inflations, outfallings, are among you;

lest, I again having come, my God will humble me before you, and I will mourn over many of those having previously committed sins, and not having repented over the uncleanness and the fornication and debauchery which they have done.

I have told you beforehand, and I am speaking to you in advance, as being present the second time, even now absent, that, if I may come to you again, I will not spare those who have previously sinned, and all the rest;

since you are seeking the approval of Christ, who is speaking in me, who is not weak towards you, bit mighty among you.

But we are praying unto God, that he may do you no evil, not in order that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and we may be as disapproved.

For we rejoice when we may be weak, and you may be strong: we are praying for even this, your perfection.

Therefore being absent I write these things, in order that being present, I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord has given me for edification, and not for destruction.

and all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.

But indeed if we, or an angel from heaven, may preach unto you any other gospel except that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

But I make known to you, brethren, the gospel was preached to me, that it is not according to a man;

For you have heard of my life formerly in Judaism, that I was persecuting the church of God exceedingly, and destroying it:

and I was prominent in Judaism above many comrades in my race, being exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

When the one having separated me, from the womb of my mother, and called me through his grace, was pleased

to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

and they continued to glorify God in me.

Then after fourteen years, I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking also Titus with me;

But neither was Titus the one with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised:

to whom I rendered not submission for an hour; in order that the truth of the gospel may abide with you.

But of those seeming to be something what they were at that time makes no difference to me: God does not receive the face of man: for those seeming to me to be prominent added nothing extra:

for the one having wrought with Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision also wrought with me unto the Gentiles:

and having known the grace of God which was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who seem to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

knowing that a man is not justified by works of law, but through the faith of Christ Jesus, and we have believed into Christ Jesus, in order that we may be justified by faith of Christ, and not by works of law, because by works of law no flesh shall be justified.

But if seeking to be justified in Christ, we may also be found sinners, then is Christ the minister of sin? it could not be so.

For I through law died to law, in, order that I may live unto God.

I am crucified along with Christ; and I live no longer, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

in order that the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus may come to the Gentiles; in order that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

but the scripture has shut up all things unto sin, in order that the promise through faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those who believe.

Therefore the law became our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ, in order that we may be justified by faith;

Behold I Paul say unto you, that, if you may be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

I have confidence in reference to you in the Lord, that you shall be none otherwise minded: but the one troubling you shall bear the judgment, whosoever he may be.

But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you may not be consumed one of another.

For carnality wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against carnality; for these are antagonistical to one another; so that you may not do the things which you may wish.

Brethren, if indeed a man may be overtaken in some transgression, you who are spiritual, perfect such an one in the spirit of meekness; watching yourself, lest you may also be tempted.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man may sow, that shall he also reap:

You see with how large letters I have written unto you with my own hand.

For neither do those who are circumcised keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, in order that they may glory in your flesh.

But it would be impossible for me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world:

Finally let no one give me troubles: for I bear in my own body the marks of Jesus.

I do not cease giving thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers;

in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may grant unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the perfect knowledge of himself;

the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the saints,

in order that he may show in coming ages the superabounding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

not of works, in order that no one may boast:

and that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in.

until we may all come into the unity of the faith, and of the perfect knowledge of the Son of God, into a perfect man, into the measure of the likeness of the fulness of Christ:

in order that we may be no longer infants, tossed by the waves and carried about by every wind of teaching, in the caprice of the people, in their craftiness, pursuant to their method of delusion;

Let the one stealing steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his own hands doing that which is good, that he may have to give to the one having need.
