that he was buried, that he rose on the third day as the scriptures had said,
and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve;
after that, he was seen by over five hundred brothers all at once, the majority of whom survive to this day, though some have died;
after that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles,
and finally he was seen by myself, by this so-called 'abortion' of an apostle.
But by God's grace I am what I am. The grace he showed me did not go for nothing; no, I have done far more work than all of them ??though it was not I but God's grace at my side.
But it is not so! Christ did rise from the dead, he was the first to be reaped of those who sleep in death.
I ask this favour of you, my brothers. The household of Stephanas, you know, was the first to be reaped in Achaia, and they have laid themselves out to serve the saints.
Now I would like you to know about the distress which befell me in Asia, brothers. I was crushed, crushed far more than I could stand, so much so that I despaired even of life;
in fact I told myself it was the sentence of death. But that was to make me rely not on myself but on the God who raises the dead;
Such was my intention. Now, have I shown myself 'fickle'? When I propose some plan, do I propose it in a worldly way, ready to mean 'no' as well as 'yes'?
By the good faith of God, my word to you was not 'yes and no';
for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by us (by myself and Silvanus and Timotheus) was not 'yes and no' ??the divine 'yes' has at last sounded in him,
I call God to witness against my soul, it was to spare you that I refrained from revisiting Corinth.
So the very reason I wrote was that I might not come only to be pained by those who ought to give me joy; I relied on you all, I felt sure that my joy would be a joy for everyone of you.
For my aim in writing was simply to test you, to see if you were absolutely obedient.
Now if the administration of death which was engraved in letters of stone, was invested with glory ??so much so, that the children of Israel could not gaze at the face of Moses on account of the dazzling glory that was fading from his face;
If there was glory in the administration that condemned, then the administration that acquits abounds far more in glory
(indeed, in view of the transcendent glory, what was glorious has thus no glory at all);

This has led me to ask Titus to complete the arrangements for the same gracious contribution among yourselves, as it was he who started it.
(You know how gracious our Lord Jesus Christ was; rich though he was, he became poor for the sake of you, that by his poverty you might be rich.)
I know how willing you are, I am proud of it, I have boasted of you to the Macedonians: "Achaia," I tell them, "was all ready last year." And your zeal has been a stimulus to the majority of them.
I am not overstepping the limit, as if you lay beyond my sphere; I was the very first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.

My wealth of visions might have puffed me up, so I was given a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan to rack me and keep me from being puffed up;
Now this is playing the fool! But you forced me to it, instead of coming forward yourselves and vouching for me. That was what I deserved; for, 'nobody' as I am, I am not one whit inferior to these precious 'apostles.'
But let that pass, you say; I was not a burden to you, no, but I was clever enough to dupe you with my tricks? Was I?

Personally I was quite unknown to the Christian churches of Judaea;

But even my companion Titus, Greek though he was, was not obliged to be circumcised.
and when they recognized the grace I had been given, then the so-called 'pillars' of the church, James and Cephas and John, gave myself and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship. Our sphere was to be the Gentiles, theirs the circumcised.
Only, we were to 'remember the poor.' I was quite eager to do that myself.
Before certain emissaries of James arrived, he ate along with the Gentile Christians; but when they arrived, he began to draw back and hold aloof, because he was afraid of the circumcision party.
The rest of the Jewish Christians also played false along with him, so much so that even Barnabas was carried away by their false play.
I do not annul God's grace; but if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ's death was useless.
Why, it is as with Abraham, he had faith in God and that was counted to him as righteousness.
If the Inheritance is due to law, it ceases to be due to promise. Now it was by a promise that God bestowed it on Abraham.
Then what about the Law? Well, it was interpolated for the purpose of producing transgressions till such time as the Offspring arrived to whom the Promise was made; also, it was transmitted by means of angels through the agency of an intermediary
Before this faith came, we were confined by the Law and kept in custody, with the prospect of the faith that was to be revealed;

But, dead in trespasses as we were, God was so rich in mercy that for his great love to us
For this reason I Paul, I whom Jesus has made a prisoner for the sake of you Gentiles ??2 for surely you have heard how the grace of God which was vouchsafed me in your interests has ordered it,
how the divine secret was disclosed to me by a revelation (if you read what I have already written briefly about this,
which was not disclosed to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his sacred apostles and prophets by the Spirit),
Such is the gospel which I was called to serve by the endowment of God's grace which was vouchsafed me, by the energy of his power;
less than the least of all saints as I am, this grace was vouchsafed me, that I should bring the Gentiles the gospel of the fathomless wealth of Christ

even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent money more than once for my needs.
He is the likeness of the unseen God, born first before all the creation ??16 for it was by him that all things were created both in heaven and on earth, both the seen and the unseen, including Thrones, angelic Lords, celestial Powers and Rulers; all things have been created by him and for him;
For it was in him that the divine Fulness willed to settle without limit,
so as to set you consecrated and unblemished and irreproachable in his presence ??23 that is, if you adhere to the foundations and stability of the faith, instead of moving away from the hope you have learned in the gospel, that gospel which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I Paul was made a minister.
But you remember yourselves, brothers, that our visit to you was no failure.
You are witnesses, and so is God, to our behaviour among you believers, how pious and upright and blameless it was,
then, amid all my own distress and trouble, I was cheered ??this faith of yours encouraged me.

May the Lord show favour to the household of Onesiphorus, for many a time he braced me up; he was not ashamed of my imprisonment ??17 no, he made eager search for me when he reached Rome, and he found me
(may he find favour with the Lord on the great Day! The Lord grant it!). And you know very well what a help he was to me in Ephesus.
However, they will get no further, for their aberration will be detected by everyone, as was the case with these magicians.

I appeal to you on behalf of my spiritual son born while I was in prison. It is Onesimus!
Perhaps this was why you and he were parted for a while, that you might get him back for good,

how shall we escape the penalty for neglecting a salvation which was originally proclaimed by the Lord himself and guaranteed to us by those who heard him,
For the world to come, of which I am speaking, was not put under the control of angels.
what we do see is Jesus who was put lower than the angels for a little while to suffer death, and who has been crowned with glory and honour that by God's grace he might taste death for everyone.
