For, the Son of God, Christ Jesus - who, among you, through us, was proclaimed, - through me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, became not Yea and Nay, - but Yea, in him, hath it become;

For, how many soever be the promises of God, in him, is the Yea, - wherefore also, through him, be the Amen, unto God, for glory, through us.

Wherefore, I beseech you, assure him, of love;

But, unto God, be thanks, who, ever, leadeth us in triumph in the Christ, and, the fragrance of the knowledge of him, maketh manifest, through us, in every place,

Wherefore also we are ambitious - whether at home, or away from home, to be, well-pleasing unto him.

The things that lie on the surface, ye are looking at: - if anyone hath come to trust in himself that he is, Christ's, this, let him reckon, again, with himself - that, even as, he, is Christ's, so, also are, we.

I exhorted Titus, and sent with him the brother, - Did, Titus, overreach you? Was it not, in the same spirit, we walked? Was it not, in the same steps?

For, although he was crucified through weakness, yet is he living through God's power, - for, although, we, are weak in him, yet shall we live with him, through God's power unto us-
