my spirit could not rest, because I did not find Titus my brother there; so I said goodbye and went off to Macedonia.

If there was glory in the administration that condemned, then the administration that acquits abounds far more in glory

(The Lord means the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is open freedom.)

there the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, to prevent them seeing the light thrown by the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God.

There is a new creation whenever a man comes to be in Christ; what is old is gone, the new has come.

What harmony can there be between Christ and Beliar, or what business has a believer with an unbeliever?

What compact can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God ??as God has said, I will dwell and move among them, I will be their God and they shall be my people.

I am not saying this to condemn you. Condemn you? Why, I repeat, you are in my very heart, and you will be there in death and life alike.

Everyone is to give what he has made up his mind to give; there is to be no grudging or compulsion about it, for God loves the giver who gives cheerfully.

And then there is the pressing business of each day, the care of all the churches.

If there is to be any boasting, I will boast of what I am weak enough to suffer!

There is nothing to be gained by this sort of thing, but as I am obliged to boast, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.
