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."

just as it is written, "The [one] who [gathered] much did not have too much, and the [one] 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.

You are looking [only] at the outward appearance of things. If anyone is confident that he is Christ’s, he should reflect and consider this, that just as he is Christ’s, so too are we.

So if I boast a little too much about our authority, which the Lord gave us to build you up and not to tear you down, I will not be ashamed of it.

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.

For we don't stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn't reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News 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.

I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;

I repeat then, let no one think that I am foolish; but even if you do, at least accept me as foolish, so that I too may boast a little.

Since many boast for merely human reasons, I too will boast.

To my shame, I must say, we have been too weak [in comparison to those pseudo-apostles who take advantage of you].But in whatever anyone else dares to boast—I am speaking foolishly—I also dare to boast.

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

Who is weak without me being weak, too? Who is caused to stumble without me becoming indignant?

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

Because of the surpassing greatness and extraordinary nature of the revelations [which I received from God], for this reason, to keep me from thinking of myself as important, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, to torment and harass me—to keep me from exalting myself!

But be it so. I did not burden you, but being crafty I took you by guile.

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 even though He was crucified in weakness [yielding Himself], yet He lives [resurrected] by the power of God [His Father]. For we too are weak in Him [as He was humanly weak], yet we are alive and well [in fellowship] with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.

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,

Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

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.

yet we know that a person is not justified by doing what the Law requires, but rather by the faithfulness of Jesus the Messiah. We, too, have believed in the Messiah Jesus so that we might be justified by the faithfulness of the Messiah and not by doing what the Law requires, for no human being will be justified by doing what the Law requires.

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.

Do take my line, brothers, I beg of you ??just as I once took yours. I have no complaint against you;

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.

Brothers and sisters, if a person is discovered in some sin, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness. Pay close attention to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too.

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

You, too, have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed in the Messiah, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your love for all God's people,

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,

You, too, are being built in him, along with the others, into a place for God's Spirit to dwell.

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

For it says:

When He ascended on high,
He took prisoners into captivity;
He gave gifts to people.

The very One that went down has gone up, too, far above all the heavens, to fill the universe.

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 must love his wife just as he loves himself, and the wife, too, must respect her husband.

You fathers, too, must not irritate your children, but you must bring them up with Christian training and instruction.

You who are masters, too, must treat your slaves in the same way, and cease to threaten them, for you know that their Master and yours is in heaven, and that he will show no 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.

You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be encouraged by hearing news about you.

though I am confident in the Lord that I too will be coming to see you 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;

You have paid me in full, and more too. I am fully supplied with what I have received from you through Epaphroditus. It is like fragrant incense, just such a sacrifice as God welcomes 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].

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

When the Messiah, who is your life, is revealed, then you, too, will be revealed with him in glory.

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

But now you too must put them all aside??nger, rage, spite, rough, abusive talk??hese must be banished from your lips.

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

At the same time pray for us too, that God may open a door for the message so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

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;

At Philippi, as you know, we had been ill-treated and insulted, but we took courage and confidence in our God to tell you the gospel of God in spite of all the strain.

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 can testify, and God too, with what pure, upright, and irreproachable motives I dealt with you who believed;

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 indeed, when we were with you, we foretold you that we are about to suffer tribulation; as indeed took place, and you know it.

For this cause, when I too could no longer forbear, I sent in order to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor should prove 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.

To this end we always pray for you too, asking our God to find you worthy of the call he has given you, and by his power to fulfil every desire you may have for goodness, and every effort 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.

in order that all may be judged and condemned who did not believe the truth [about their sin, and the need for salvation through Christ], but instead took pleasure in unrighteousness.

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,

Ministers, too, must be serious. They must not be two-faced, addicted to wine, or greedy for money.
