Now finish doing it too, so that your readiness to finish it may be just like your readiness to start it, in accordance with what you have.

but to equalize the burden, and in the present situation to have your plenty make up for what they need, so that some day their plenty may make up for what you need, and so things may be made equal??15 as the Scripture says, "The man who got much did not have too much, and the man who got little did not have too little."

As it has been written:

The person who gathered much
did not have too much,
and the person who gathered little
did not have too little.

Now this is the way it is: Whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly too, but whoever sows bountifully will reap bountifully too.

I beg you not to make me too courageous in that confidence in which I think to take a daring stand against some people who try to think that I am acting from the lowest human motives.

Do ye judge of things by the outward appearance? if any man is confident in himself, that he is Christ's, let him from himself conclude too, that as he is Christ's, even so are we.

For if I do boast a little too much about my authority, which the Lord gave me for building you up and not for tearing you down, I shall never have to blush for doing so.

But I shall never go too far in my boasting; no, I shall stay within the limits of the sphere which God apportioned me, so as to reach even you.

Now we are not going too far in claiming you as part of our outreach, since we were the first ones to come to you with the Gospel of Christ.

I am not going too far in my boasting, and actually boasting of other men's labors, but I am cherishing the hope that your faith may so continue to grow that through you my work within my sphere may be so enlarged as to run over,

O that ye tolerated a little of my foolishness, but tolerate me too.

For if someone comes along and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or should you receive a different spirit from the one you received or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you are all too willing to listen.

Other churches I spoiled, and took their wages to do you service.

I say again, let no one think me a fool. Or, if you must, at least bear with me as a fool, that I, too, may do a little boasting.

Since so many are making worldly boasts, I shall boast, too!

I say that I was weak, and yet for whatever reason any one is bold (I speak in mere folly) I too am bold.

Are they Hebrews? I too. Are they Israelites? I too. Are they a seed of Abraham? I too.

Who is weak without my being weak too? Who is caused to fall without my being fired with indignation?

was caught up into paradise and heard things too sacred to be put into words, things that a person is not permitted to speak.

And least I should be too much lifted up with the abundance of the revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, least I should be too much elevated.

Now granted, I have not burdened you; yet sly as I am, I took you in by deceit!

Do you assert that I took advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you?

I encouraged Titus to visit you, and I sent along with him the brother you know so well. Titus didn't take advantage of you, did he? We conducted ourselves with the same spirit, didn't we? We took the very same steps, didn't we?

For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you not to be as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish—that perhaps there may be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder;

For though He was crucified in weakness, yet by the power of God He goes on living. We too, indeed, show weakness through our union with Him, yet by the power of God we too shall be alive toward you through fellowship with Him.

was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,

Fourteen years later I went up to Jerusalem again, with Barnabas, and took Titus also with me

for He who had been at work in Peter for his apostleship to the Jews had been at work in me too for the apostleship to the heathen --

and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.

because we know that a man does not come into right standing with God by doing what the law commands, but by simple trust in Christ, we too have trusted in Christ Jesus, in order to come into right standing with God by simple trust in Christ and not by doing what the law commands, because by doing what the law commands no man can come into right standing with God.

It is evident, too, that no one can find acceptance with God simply by obeying the Law, because "the righteous shall live by faith,"

Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

So each one of you is no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir, too, through God's grace.

I beg you, brothers, take my point of view, just as I took yours. You did me no injustice then.

And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

Even if any one should be overtaken in a fault, brothers, you that are spiritual ought, in a gentle spirit, to restore such a one, each one of you looking to himself, lest you too be tempted.

For if anyone thinks he is something [special] when [in fact] he is nothing [special except in his own eyes], he deceives himself.

In Christ we too have been claimed as God's own possession, since we were predestined according to the one purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will

And in him, because you listened to the proclamation of the truth, the evangel of your salvation, and trusted it, you Gentiles too were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,

You too were dead because of the shortcomings and sins

We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.

(we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)

He, in fact, is our peace - who made both one, and, the enclosing middle-wall, took down,

and in him you, too, are continuously built together for a dwelling-place of God through his Spirit.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you too were called to the one hope of your calling,

Wherefore he saith - Ascending on high, he took captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

he that descended, is the same too that ascended far above all heavens, to perfect all things.

You took off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires;

and practice living in love, just as Christ loved you too and gave Himself for you as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

so too with vulgarity and buffoonery and foolish jesting. Such words become you not, but rather thanksgiving.

So too married men ought to love their wives as much as they love themselves. He who loves his wife loves himself.

But each one of you married men must love his wife as he loves himself, and the married woman, too, must respect her husband.

You parents, too, must stop exasperating your children, but continue to bring them up with the sort of education and counsel the Lord approves.

You slave-owners, too, must maintain the same attitude toward your slaves, and stop threatening them, for you know that their real Lord and yours is in heaven, and that He never shows partiality.

Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make everything known to you, so that you too may know about my circumstances, how I am doing.

Until you are able to appreciate all moral distinctions. And I pray, too, that you may be kept pure and blameless against the Day of Christ,

What difference then does it make? In one way or another, whether in pretense or in sincerity, Christ is being preached, and that is the thing that makes me glad; yes, more too, I will continue to be glad of it,

in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

Stop looking after your own interests only but practice looking out for the interests of others too.

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

and you too should be glad and congratulate me upon that account.

I hope, with the approval of the Lord Jesus, soon to send Timothy to you, so that I too may be cheered on getting the news about you.

nay, I trust in the Lord, that I myself too shall visit you very soon.

He certainly was sick and close to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.

although I once also had confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

to see if I too can attain the resurrection from the dead.

[It is] not that I have already arrived at the goal [of spiritual maturity], or have already been made perfectly [righteous], but I am pushing onward in order to take hold of what Christ Jesus took hold of me for [i.e., to receive all that Christ intended for me].

Indeed, I ask you too, my true companion, to help these women [to keep on cooperating], for they have shared my struggle in the [cause of the] gospel, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

I know how to be humble, and I know how to prosper. In each and every situation I have learned the secret of being full and of going hungry, of having too much and of having too little.

And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

I have received your payment in full, and more too. I am amply supplied after getting the things you sent by Epaphroditus; they are like sweet incense, the kind of sacrifice that God accepts and approves.

As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him,

And in Him you have been made complete [achieving spiritual stature through Christ], and He is the head over all rule and authority [of every angelic and earthly power].

blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that stood against us and was hostile to us, and took it out of our way, nailing it to his cross.

When Christ, who is our life, appears, you too will appear to be glorified in fellowship with Him.

You too used to practice these sins, when you used to live that sort of life.

But now you also must renounce them all. Anger, passion, and ill-will must be put away; slander, too, and foul talk, so that they may never soil your lips.

Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.

Keep on praying for me, too, that God may open for me a door of utterance to speak the secret truth of Christ, for which I am a prisoner.

When this letter has been read to you, have it read to the church at Laodicea too, and see to it that you too read the one that is coming from Laodicea.

And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

for you remember that although I had already borne ill-treatment and insult at Philippi, I took courage in my God to tell you the gospel of God, in the face of much opposition.

Even so, being full of loving desire for you, we took delight in giving you not only God's good news, but even our lives, because you were dear to us.

you are witnesses, and God is so too, how holy, how just and irreproachable our behaviour was to you, who believe.

And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, because you too suffered the same [kind of] persecution from your own countrymen, as they did from the Jews,

for when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we were going to be pressed with difficulties, and it took place, as you know.

Because of this, I too, no longer covering over it, sent in order to know your faith, lest somehow he who tempts was tempting you, and our labor became in vain.

that no man go too far and defraud his brother in bargaining, because the Lord is avenger of all such things: as we told you before time, and testified unto you.

but you, my brethren, are too well inform'd to be surpriz'd by that day, as by a thief.

Brothers and sisters, pray for us too.

With this in view we are always praying for you too, that our God may make you worthy of His call, and by His power fully satisfy your every desire for goodness, and complete every activity of your faith,

not to let your minds be too easily unsettled or wrought up, by any message of the Spirit or any utterance or letter purporting to be from me, to the effect that the Day of the Lord has already come.

So that they all may be judged, who had no faith in what is true, but took pleasure in evil.

Neither took we bread of any man for nought: but wrought with labour and travail night and day, because we would not be grievous to any of you:

We hear, in fact, of some who are walking among you in a disorderly way, at nothing, working, yet too busily working!

I give praise to him who gave me power, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he took me to be true, making me his servant,

Deacons, too, must be serious, sincere in their talk, not addicted to strong drink or dishonest gain,
