But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair;

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

And you also we, as God's fellow workers, entreat not to be found to have received His grace to no purpose.

we put no obstruction in anyone’s path, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

And with many an appeal to us for permission, they showed their love, and contributed their share towards the fund for their fellow-Christians.

I am not saying this [to you] as a command, but by telling you how eager others are [to help], to find out how genuine your love is also.

besides, he has been appointed by the churches to travel with me on the business of administering this fund to the glory of the Lord. His appointment has my full consent,

We are taking precaution so that no one will [find anything with which to] discredit us in our administration of this generous gift.

We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found to be diligent in many things, but who is now even more diligent [than ever] because of his great confidence in you.

With reference, indeed, to the Fund for your fellow-Christians, it is quite superfluous for me to say anything to you.

Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.

For the ministry of this service (offering) is not only supplying the needs of the saints (God’s people), but is also overflowing through many expressions of thanksgiving to God.

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Therefore, my dearly-loved friends, as I have always found you obedient, labour earnestly with fear and trembling--not merely as though I were present with you, but much more now since I am absent from you--labour earnestly, I say, to make sure of your own salvation.

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

In conclusion, Brothers, wherever you find anything true or honorable, righteous or pure, lovable or praiseworthy, or if 'virtue' and 'honour' have any meaning, there let your thoughts dwell.

Now I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that now once more your thoughtful attention about me hath again sprung up, to which also your mind had been disposed, but ye had not found the opportunity.

And through whom we have found deliverance in the forgiveness of our sins.

Now I can find joy amid my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my own person whatever is lacking in Christ's afflictions on behalf of His Body, the Church.

The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions.

For the word of the Lord has resounded from you and has echoed [like thunder], not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place [the news of] your [great] faith in God has spread, so that we never need to say anything about it.

For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain:

For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness;

Thus, yearning over you, we had found our delight in having imparted to you not only the glad tidings of God, but our own lives also, because ye had become beloved of us.

Ye, are witnesses - God also, how kindly and righteously and blamelessly, unto you who were believing, we were found to behave;
