'Although' in the Bible
Therefore, [although we are] always confident and know that [while we] are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that [although he] was rich, for your sake he became poor, in order that you, by his poverty, may become rich.
For [although we] are living in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh,
I have already said when was present the second time, and [although I] am absent now also say in advance to those who sinned previously and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare [anyone],
Because of this, I am writing these [things] [although I] am absent, in order that [when I] am present I may not have to act severely according to the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
