So that we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your gift, of which you had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of gift, and not as an extortion.

That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

For though I would desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he sees me to be, or that he hears of me.

That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.

Therefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
