¹⁰ For we are foolish for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; and you are glorious, but we are infamous. ¹¹ Even to this hour we suffer hunger and thirst and nakedness, and are beaten, and are unsettled, ¹² and labor, working with our hands; being reviled we bless, being persecuted we endure, ¹³ being defamed we entreat; we are made like the offscouring of the world and the vilest of all things, even till now.

¹⁹ but I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know not the word of those who are puffed up but the power; 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? ² If I am not an apostle to others, I certainly am to you; for you are a seal of my apostleship in the Lord. ³ My defense to those who condemn me is this;

^{24 (4:3)} Know you not that those who run in the race all indeed run, but one takes the prize. So run that you may obtain.

²⁷ but I brow-beat my body, and bring it into subjection, lest having preached to others I should myself be a reprobate.

¹⁹ For it is necessary that there should be heresies among you, that the approved may be manifest among you.

²⁸ But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup;

³¹ For if we judged ourselves we should not be judged;

¹³ for we have all been baptized with one Spirit in one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and have all been made to drink one Spirit.

^{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, ⁸ being afflicted in every thing but not distressed, being perplexed but not in despair, ⁹ being persecuted but not deserted, being cast down but not destroyed, ¹⁰ always carrying about the death of Jesus in the body, that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. ¹¹ For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. ¹² So that death works in us, but life in you.

⁴ but in every thing commending ourselves as ministers of God, in great patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

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,

⁴ for the arms of our warfare are not of flesh, but mighty with God to the pulling down of strongholds,

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.

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

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.

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

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. 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. ¹⁰ Most gladly, therefore, will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Wherefore I am well pleased with infirmities, with injuries, with necessities, with persecutions, with distresses for Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹² The signs of an apostle were performed among you with all patience, in miracles, and prodigies, and mighty works.

^{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.

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; ²¹ lest when I come again my God shall humble me before you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned, and not changed their minds, in respect to impurity and fornication and lewdness which they have committed.

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; 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.

⁶ But I hope you will know that we are not reprobates. 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.

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.

⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. ⁹ For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong; and we desire this, your perfection. 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. ^{11 (4:4)} Finally, brothers, rejoice, be perfect, be of good comfort, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

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.

¹⁹ My little children, with whom I am again in pain till Christ is formed in you,

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

⁴ But let each one prove his work, and then shall he have joy in himself alone and not in another,

¹⁹ and what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the operation of his mighty power, ²⁰ which he performed in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly [worlds], ²¹ above every principality and authority and power and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this life but also in that to come, ²² and put all things in subjection under his feet, and made him head over all things to the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all things in all.

¹⁸ for through him we both have access by one spirit to the Father.

²⁰ being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone, ²¹ by which all the building being fitted together grows into a holy temple in the Lord, ²² in which you also are built up together for a spiritual habitation of God.

²² in which you also are built up together for a spiritual habitation of God.

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through the faith, you being founded and established in love,

³ using diligence to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

¹² for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ, ¹³ till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

⁹ for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,—

²³ Peace and love be to the brothers with faith, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all understanding, ¹⁰ that you may prove the excellent, that you may be without fault and without offense in the day of Christ, ¹¹ filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

^{27 (1:4)} Only conduct yourselves as citizens worthily of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

^{1 (1:5)} If therefore there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort in love, if any participation of the Spirit, if any affections and compassions,

^{1 (1:5)} If therefore there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort in love, if any participation of the Spirit, if any affections and compassions, ² fulfil my joy, that you have the same mind, having the same love, sympathizing with each other, having one opinion. ³ Do nothing in strife or vain glory, but in humility let each esteem others better than himself,

⁷ but he abased himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of man, ⁸ and being found in form like a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient even till death, and the death of the cross. ⁹ Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of beings in heaven and in the earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁰ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the participation of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

¹² Not that I have already obtained it, or have been already made perfect; but I follow on that I may attain that for which also I was arrested by Christ. ¹³ I consider not myself, brothers, to have attained it; but this one thing I do; forgetting the things behind, and reaching forward to those before, ¹⁴ I press forward to the mark for the prize of the high call of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let us, as many as are perfect therefore, be of this mind; and if any one thinks at all otherwise, God shall also reveal this to you; ¹⁶ but in what we have attained, in this let us walk.

^{2 (2:3)} I beseech Euodias and I beseech Syntyche to have the same mind in the Lord.

^{4 (2:4)} Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.

^{8 (2:5)} Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are reputable, if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, consider these things; ⁹ and what you learned and received and heard and knew in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.
