Greet Mary, who has worked so hard for you.

Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Salute one another among yourselves with a holy kiss. The congregations of Christ salute you.

Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

And in weakness, and in fear, and in much timidity, was I among you.

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

So let no one boast among men; for all things are yours;

And the rest, it is sought among stewards that one be found faithful.

For, in such cases, the unbelieving husband has become--and is--holy through union with a Christian woman, and the unbelieving wife is holy through union with a Christian brother. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but in reality they have a place among God's people.

If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?

Judge among yourselves, is it decent for a woman to be praying to God without a covering?

If there be any man among you that lusteth to strife, let him know that we have no such customs, neither the congregations of God.

and last of all, as to one untimely (prematurely, traumatically) born, He appeared to me also.

Now we make known to you, brothers, the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia,

so that we could not but desire Titus to accomplish the same benevolence among you also, even as he had begun.

But, just as, in everything, ye superabound, - in faith, and discourse, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in the love among you which proceedeth from us, in order that, in this favour also, ye would superabound.

with whom I have sent one of the brethren, who is not only distinguish'd among all the churches, by his preaching the gospel,

If then there be any inquiry about Titus, he is my collegue and fellow-laborer among you: and if our brethren be inquired after, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.

For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of thanks to God;

I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and softness of Christ, which when I am present among you, am of no reputation, but am bold toward you being absent.

For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

Yet the tokens of an apostle were wrought among you with all patience; with signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

For I fear, lest it come to pass, that when I come I shall not find you such as I would: and I shall be found unto you such as I would not. I fear lest there be found among you debate, envying, wrath, strife, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, and discord.

I fear lest when I come again, God bring me low among you, and I be constrained to bewail many of them which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness, and fornication, and wantonness which they have committed.

Those who have kept on in their old sins and all the rest I have warned, and I warn them now while I am still away, as I did on my second visit, that if I come back I will spare nobody??3 since you demand proof that Christ really speaks through me. He is not weak in dealing with you. On the contrary, right among you he exhibits his power.

seeing that ye seek experience of Christ which speaketh in me, which among you is not weak, but is mighty in you.

And verily, though it came of weakness that he was crucified, yet liveth he through the power of God: and we no doubt are weak in him; but we shall live with him, by the might of God among you.

for to declare his son by me, that I should preach him among the heathen: Immediately I commended not of the matter with flesh and blood,

Yea, and I went up by revelation, and commended with them of the gospel, which I preach among the gentiles - but between ourselves with them which were counted chief, lest it should have been thought that I should run, or had run in vain.

and that because of incomers, being false brethren, which came in among others to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.

To them we did not yield submission even for an hour, in order that the truth of the gospel might abide unshaken among you.

On the contrary, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the good news for the heathen, just as Peter had been intrusted with it for the Jews??8 for he who actuated Peter to be an apostle to the Jews also actuated me to be one to the heathen??9 and when they recognized the favor God had shown me, James, Cephas, and John, who were regarded as pillars of the church, pledged Barnabas and me their co-operation, with the understanding that we should work among the heathen and they among the Jews.

For he that was mighty in Peter in the apostleship over the circumcision, the same was mighty in me among the gentiles -

and therefore when James, Cephas, and John, which seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the righthands, and agreed with us that we should preach among the heathen, and they among the Jews:

I fear for you, lest somehow I have labored among you in vain.

You people, whoever you are among you, who try to get into right standing with God, through law have cut yourselves off from Christ, you have missed the way of God's favor.

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,
