2 Corinthians 10 Cross References - Sawyer

^{1 (3:1)} I PAUL also exhort you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in appearance am humble among you, but being absent am bold towards you; ² and I desire that I may not be bold when present, with that confidence which I design to use against some who speak of us as if we walked according to the flesh. ³ For though we walk in the flesh we do not war according to the flesh, ⁴ for the arms of our warfare are not of flesh, but mighty with God to the pulling down of strongholds, ⁵ destroying [false] reasonings and every height which is exalted against the knowledge of God, and subjecting every thought to the obedience of Christ, ⁶ and being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is completed. ^{7 (3:2)} You see things according to appearances. If any one trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider again with himself that as he is Christ's so also are we. ⁸ For if I should even boast some of our authority which the Lord gave for your edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed. ⁹ [But I forbear,] that I may not seem as though I would terrify you by epistles. ¹⁰ For the epistles, say they, are weighty and powerful, but the bodily presence is weak and speech contemptible. ¹¹ Let such a one think, that such as we are in word by epistles when absent, such also will we be in work when present. ¹² For we dare not judge or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves with themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise. ¹³ But we will not boast of things not measured, but according to the measure of the rule which God has given us, to come even to you. ¹⁴ For we do not stretch ourselves out too far, as if we had not come to you, for we came even to you with the gospel of Christ; ¹⁵ not boasting of things unmeasured in the labors of others, but having a hope, your faith being increased, that we shall be magnified among you according to our rule abundantly, ¹⁶ to preach the gospel in the parts beyond you, not to boast of things prepared by another's rule. ¹⁷ But let him that glories glory in the Lord; ¹⁸ for not he that commends himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

¹² I mean this; that each one of you says I indeed am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the intelligent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? where the scribe? where the disputer of this life?

²⁰ for the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. ²¹ What do you wish? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of meekness?

^{1 (4:1)} AM I not a freeman? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord?

^{1 (1:9)} Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some, commendatory epistles to you or from you? ² You are our epistle, written by our hearts, known and read by all men, ³ for you are manifestly an epistle of Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of hearts of flesh.

⁵ not that we are sufficient of ourselves to reason out any thing as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God,

^{12 (1:11)} Having therefore this hope we use great boldness,

⁴ in whom the god of this life has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God, may not shine.

^{7 (1:13)} But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us,

¹⁴ for if I had boasted of you to him I was not ashamed, but as we said all things to you in truth, so also the boasting of you to Titus was truth. ¹⁵ And his affection is more abundant for you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.

¹³ [they] glorifying God on account of the proof of this ministry for your professed subjection to the gospel of Christ and the liberality of the contribution to them and to all,

^{1 (3:1)} I PAUL also exhort you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in appearance am humble among you, but being absent am bold towards you; ² and I desire that I may not be bold when present, with that confidence which I design to use against some who speak of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

^{7 (3:2)} You see things according to appearances. If any one trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider again with himself that as he is Christ's so also are we.

¹⁰ For the epistles, say they, are weighty and powerful, but the bodily presence is weak and speech contemptible.

¹² For we dare not judge or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves with themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise. ¹³ But we will not boast of things not measured, but according to the measure of the rule which God has given us, to come even to you. ¹⁴ For we do not stretch ourselves out too far, as if we had not come to you, for we came even to you with the gospel of Christ; ¹⁵ not boasting of things unmeasured in the labors of others, but having a hope, your faith being increased, that we shall be magnified among you according to our rule abundantly,

¹⁸ for not he that commends himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

⁴ For if he that comes preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or you receive another spirit which you did not receive, or another gospel which you did not receive, you might well bear it;

⁶ And even if I am rude in speech, I certainly am not in knowledge, but we have been made fully manifest to you in all things.

⁹ and when I was with you and was in want, I was burdensome to no one; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied beforehand my need; and in every thing I kept myself without being burdensome to you, and will keep myself so. ^{10 (3:4)} As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting in respect to myself shall not be silenced in the regions of Achaia. ¹¹ Why? Because I love you not? God knows. ¹² But what I do I also will do, that I may take away an occasion from those who wish an occasion, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we are. ¹³ For such false apostles, deceitful laborers, transform themselves into apostles of Christ.

¹⁸ Since many boast of the flesh, I also will boast.

^{21 (3:6)} I speak of reproach as if we were weak; wherein any one is bold, I speak foolishly, I am bold also.

²³ Are they ministers of Christ? I speak foolishly, I am more; in labors most abundant, in stripes above measure, in imprisonments most abundant, in deaths often;

³⁰ If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of my infirmities.

⁵ Of such a one will I boast, but of myself I will not boast except of my infirmities.

⁵ Of such a one will I boast, but of myself I will not boast except of my infirmities. ⁶ For if I shall wish to boast I shall not be foolish, for I will tell the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should think of me beyond what he sees or hears of me.

⁶ For if I shall wish to boast I shall not be foolish, for I will tell the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should think of me beyond what he sees or hears of me. ^{7 (3:8)} And that I might not be elated with my extraordinary revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan to beat me, that I should not be too much exalted. ⁸ For this I besought the Lord thrice that it might leave me. ⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you; for power is perfected in weakness.

^{11 (3:9)} I have become foolish; you compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing am I behind the chief of the apostles, though I also am nothing.

¹³ For what is there in which you were inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong. ^{14 (3:10)} Behold, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be burdensome to you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children. ¹⁵ And I most gladly will spend and will be spent for your souls, even if the more abundantly I love you the less I am loved. ¹⁶ Be it so, I was not burdensome to you; but being crafty I caught you with deceit. ¹⁷ Did I make any thing out of you by any of those I sent to you? ¹⁸ I requested Titus, and sent the brother with him; did Titus make any thing out of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit, in the same steps? ^{19 (4:1)} Do you again think that we are defending ourselves? We speak in Christ before God; all these things, beloved, are for your edification. ²⁰ For I fear lest when I come I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found such as you wish not; lest there shall be strife, envy, anger, contentions, evil speakings, whisperings, pride, dissensions;

²⁰ For I fear lest when I come I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found such as you wish not; lest there shall be strife, envy, anger, contentions, evil speakings, whisperings, pride, dissensions;

² I have said before, and I now foretell as if present a second time, although absent, to those who have already sinned and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare;

² I have said before, and I now foretell as if present a second time, although absent, to those who have already sinned and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare;

² I have said before, and I now foretell as if present a second time, although absent, to those who have already sinned and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare; ³ since you seek a proof in me of Christ speaking, who is not weak to you but powerful in you;

³ since you seek a proof in me of Christ speaking, who is not weak to you but powerful in you;

³ since you seek a proof in me of Christ speaking, who is not weak to you but powerful in you; ⁴ for though he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God; and we also are weak in him, but live with him by the power of God in you.

⁷ We wish to God that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do good though we should be as reprobates. ⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

¹⁰ For this reason, being absent, I write these things, that I may not use sharpness when present, with the power which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.

^{1 (1:1)} PAUL an apostle, not from men nor by man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead,

^{6 (1:2)} I wonder that you have so quickly turned away from him that called you in the grace of Christ to another gospel, ⁷ which is not another; but there are some who disturb you and wish to subvert the gospel of Christ. ⁸ But if we or an angel from heaven preach you another gospel contrary to what we have preached you let him be accursed.

^{11 (1:3)} For I certify you, brothers, of the gospel preached by me, that it is not according to man; ¹² for I neither received it from man nor was I taught it, but by a revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹³ For you heard of my conduct formerly in Judaism, that I greatly persecuted the church of God and destroyed it;

⁵ we did not yield to them by subjection, for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. ⁶ But from those of distinction, whatever they were it makes no difference to me,—God is partial to no man,—for those of distinction added nothing to me, ⁷ but on the contrary seeing that I was intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter was of the circumcision,— ⁸ for he that operated in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision, operated also in me for the gentiles,— ⁹ and knowing the grace given me, James and Cephas and John, who were manifest pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship that we should go to the gentiles and they to the circumcision;

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ; and I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in me; and the present life which I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

²⁹ And if you are of Christ, then are you Abraham's children and heirs according to the promise.

¹³ but you knew I preached the gospel to you on my former [visit] in weakness of the flesh,

¹³ but you knew I preached the gospel to you on my former [visit] in weakness of the flesh, ¹⁴ and my trial in my flesh you despised not nor rejected, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

² Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you are circumcised Christ will not profit you.

^{16 (3:3)} And I say, walk in the Spirit and perform not the desire of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are opposed one to another, so that you do not what you wish. ¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. ¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, impurity, lewdness, ²⁰ idolatry, magic, enmities, strife, envy, anger, contentions, dissensions, heresies, ²¹ murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. ²⁴ And the [subjects] of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires. ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

¹³ For the circumcised themselves do not keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised that they may glory in your flesh. ¹⁴ But far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me and I to the world.

² in which you formerly walked according to the life of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit which now operates in the children of disobedience, ³ among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, performing the wishes of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as others;

^{1 (2:1)} I THEREFORE, the prisoner of the Lord, exhort you to walk worthily of the call with which you were called,

⁷ And to each one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

¹³ Take therefore the whole armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done all to stand. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, girded about your loins with truth, and having put on the cuirass of righteousness, ¹⁵ and bound your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ over all, taking the shield of the faith, with which you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of evil. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying with all prayer and supplication on every occasion with the spirit, and watching in the same with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

³ We are the circumcision, who serve God in spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and trust not in the flesh, ⁴ although I have ground of confidence in the flesh.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith;

¹² For the word of God is living, and effective, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and reaching even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrows, and distinguishes thoughts and intentions of mind;

⁹ and being made perfect became to all who obey him an author of eternal salvation,

³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down when they had been surrounded seven days.

^{32 (4:10)} And why should I say more? For time would fail me to relate of Gideon and Barak, and Sampson and Jepthah, and David and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who by faith subdued kingdoms, performed righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

^{1 (4:11)} Therefore also we, having so great a cloud of witnesses lying around us, laying aside every impediment and sin which entirely surrounds us, let us run with patience the race set before us,

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace and peace be multiplied to you.

⁷ that the trial of your faith, which is much more precious than gold that is destroyed but proved by fire, may be found to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

¹⁴ As obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires of your former ignorance, ¹⁵ but as he that called you is holy be you also holy in all [your] conduct,

^{22 (1:4)} Having purified your souls by obeying the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another fervently, from the heart,

^{11 (2:1)} BELOVED, I exhort you as strangers and foreigners, abstain from carnal desires, which war against the soul,

²² who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth, ²³ who being reviled reviled not, suffering threatened not, but committed himself to him that judges righteously,

^{1 (2:7)} Christ therefore having suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, ² that you may no longer live the rest of your time in the flesh according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
