ylt @2Corinthians:1:12 @For our glorying is this : the testimony of our conscience , that in simplicity and sincerity of God , not in fleshly wisdom , but in the grace of God , we did conduct ourselves in the world , and more abundantly toward you ; ylt @2Corinthians:1:13 @for no other things do we write to you , but what ye either do read or also acknowledge , and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge , ylt @2Corinthians:1:14 @according as also ye did acknowledge us in part , that your glory we are , even as also ye [are ] ours , in the day of the Lord Jesus ; ylt @2Corinthians:1:15 @and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you before , that a second favour ye might have , ylt @2Corinthians:1:16 @and through you to pass to Macedonia , and again from Macedonia to come unto you , and by you to be sent forward to Judea . ylt @2Corinthians:1:17 @This , therefore , counselling , did I then use the lightness ; or the things that I counsel , according to the flesh do I counsel , that it may be with me Yes , yes , and No , no ? ylt @2Corinthians:1:18 @and God [is ] faithful , that our word unto you became not Yes and No , ylt @2Corinthians:1:19 @for the Son of God , Jesus Christ , among you through us having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus -- did not become Yes and No , but in him it hath become Yes ; ylt @2Corinthians:1:20 @for as many as [are ] promises of God , in him [are ] the Yes , and in him the Amen , for glory to God through us ; ylt @2Corinthians:1:21 @and He who is confirming you with us into Christ , and did anoint us , [is ] God , ylt @2Corinthians:1:22 @who also sealed us , and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts . ylt @2Corinthians:1:23 @And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul , that sparing you , I came not yet to Corinth ; ylt @2Corinthians:1:24 @not that we are lords over your faith , but we are workers together with your joy , for by the faith ye stand . ylt @2Corinthians:10:1 @And I , Paul , myself , do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence , indeed [am ] humble among you , and being absent , have courage toward you , ylt @2Corinthians:10:2 @and I beseech [you ], that , being present , I may not have courage , with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh ; ylt @2Corinthians:10:3 @for walking in the flesh , not according to the flesh do we war , ylt @2Corinthians:10:4 @for the weapons of our warfare [are ] not fleshly , but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds , ylt @2Corinthians:10:5 @reasonings bringing down , and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God , and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ , ylt @2Corinthians:10:6 @and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience , whenever your obedience may be fulfilled . ylt @2Corinthians:10:7 @The things in presence do ye see ? if any one hath trusted in himself to be Christ 's , this let him reckon again from himself , that according as he is Christ 's , so also we [are ] Christ 's ; ylt @2Corinthians:10:8 @for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority , that the Lord gave us for building up , and not for casting you down , I shall not be ashamed ; ylt @2Corinthians:10:9 @that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters , ylt @2Corinthians:10:10 @'because the letters indeed -- saith one -- [are ] weighty and strong , and the bodily presence weak , and the speech despicable .' ylt @2Corinthians:10:11 @This one -- let him reckon thus : that such as we are in word , through letters , being absent , such also , being present , [we are ] in deed . ylt @2Corinthians:10:12 @For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves , but they , among themselves measuring themselves , and comparing themselves with themselves , are not wise , ylt @2Corinthians:10:13 @and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves , but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us -- to reach even unto you ; ylt @2Corinthians:10:14 @for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch , for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ , ylt @2Corinthians:10:15 @not boasting of the things not measured , in other men 's labours , and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to be enlarged , according to our line -- into abundance , ylt @2Corinthians:10:16 @in the [places ] beyond you to proclaim good news , not in another 's line in regard to the things made ready , to boast ; ylt @2Corinthians:10:17 @and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast ; ylt @2Corinthians:10:18 @for not he who is commending himself is approved , but he whom the Lord doth commend . ylt @2Corinthians:11:1 @O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly , but ye also do bear with me : ylt @2Corinthians:11:2 @for I am zealous for you with zeal of God , for I did betroth you to one husband , a pure virgin , to present to Christ , ylt @2Corinthians:11:3 @and I fear , lest , as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty , so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is ] in the Christ ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:4 @for if , indeed , he who is coming doth preach another Jesus whom we did not preach , or another Spirit ye receive which ye did not receive , or other good news which ye did not accept -- well were ye bearing [it ], ylt @2Corinthians:11:5 @for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles , ylt @2Corinthians:11:6 @and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge , but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you . ylt @2Corinthians:11:7 @The sin did I do -- myself humbling that ye might be exalted , because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you ? ylt @2Corinthians:11:8 @other assemblies I did rob , having taken wages , for your ministration ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:9 @and being present with you , and having been in want , I was chargeable to no one , for my lack did the brethren supply -- having come from Macedonia -- and in everything burdenless to you I did keep myself , and will keep . ylt @2Corinthians:11:10 @The truth of Christ is in me , because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:11 @wherefore ? because I do not love you ? God hath known ! ylt @2Corinthians:11:12 @and what I do , I also will do , that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion , that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:13 @for those such [are ] false apostles , deceitful workers , transforming themselves into apostles of Christ , ylt @2Corinthians:11:14 @and no wonder -- for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:15 @no great thing , then , if also his ministrants do transform themselves as ministrants of righteousness -- whose end shall be according to their works . ylt @2Corinthians:11:16 @Again I say , may no one think me to be a fool ; and if otherwise , even as a fool receive me , that I also a little may boast . ylt @2Corinthians:11:17 @That which I speak , I speak not according to the Lord , but as in foolishness , in this the confidence of boasting ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:18 @since many boast according to the flesh , I also will boast : ylt @2Corinthians:11:19 @for gladly do ye bear with the fools -- being wise , ylt @2Corinthians:11:20 @for ye bear , if any one is bringing you under bondage , if any one doth devour , if any one doth take away , if any one doth exalt himself , if any one on the face doth smite you ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:21 @in reference to dishonour I speak , how that we were weak , and in whatever any one is bold -- in foolishness I say [it ] -- I also am bold . ylt @2Corinthians:11:22 @Hebrews are they ? I also ! Israelites are they ? I also ! seed of Abraham are they ? I also ! ylt @2Corinthians:11:23 @ministrants of Christ are they ? -- as beside myself I speak -- I more ; in labours more abundantly , in stripes above measure , in prisons more frequently , in deaths many times ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:24 @from Jews five times forty [stripes ] save one I did receive ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:25 @thrice was I beaten with rods , once was I stoned , thrice was I shipwrecked , a night and a day in the deep I have passed ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:26 @journeyings many times , perils of rivers , perils of robbers , perils from kindred , perils from nations , perils in city , perils in wilderness , perils in sea , perils among false brethren ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:27 @in laboriousness and painfulness , in watchings many times , in hunger and thirst , in fastings many times , in cold and nakedness ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:28 @apart from the things without -- the crowding upon me that is daily -- the care of all the assemblies . ylt @2Corinthians:11:29 @Who is infirm , and I am not infirm ? who is stumbled , and I am not fired ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:30 @if to boast it behoveth [me ], of the things of my infirmity I will boast ; ylt @2Corinthians:11:31 @the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ -- who is blessed to the ages -- hath known that I do not lie ! -- ylt @2Corinthians:11:32 @In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes , wishing to seize me , ylt @2Corinthians:11:33 @and through a window in a rope basket I was let down , through the wall , and fled out of his hands . ylt @2Corinthians:12:1 @To boast , really , is not profitable for me , for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord . ylt @2Corinthians:12:2 @I have known a man in Christ , fourteen years ago -- whether in the body I have not known , whether out of the body I have not known , God hath known -- such an one being caught away unto the third heaven ; ylt @2Corinthians:12:3 @and I have known such a man -- whether in the body , whether out of the body , I have not known , God hath known , -- ylt @2Corinthians:12:4 @that he was caught away to the paradise , and heard unutterable sayings , that it is not possible for man to speak . ylt @2Corinthians:12:5 @Of such an one I will boast , and of myself I will not boast , except in my infirmities , ylt @2Corinthians:12:6 @for if I may wish to boast , I shall not be a fool , for truth I will say ; but I forebear , lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me , or doth hear anything of me ; ylt @2Corinthians:12:7 @and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch , there was given to me a thorn in the flesh , a messenger of the Adversary , that he might buffet me , that I might not be exalted overmuch . ylt @2Corinthians:12:8 @Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon , that it might depart from me , ylt @2Corinthians:12:9 @and He said to me , 'Sufficient for thee is My grace , for My power in infirmity is perfected ;' most gladly , therefore , will I rather boast in my infirmities , that the power of the Christ may rest on me : ylt @2Corinthians:12:10 @wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities , in damages , in necessities , in persecutions , in distresses -- for Christ ; for whenever I am infirm , then I am powerful ; ylt @2Corinthians:12:11 @I have become a fool -- boasting ; ye -- ye did compel me ; for I ought by you to have been commended , for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles -- even if I am nothing . ylt @2Corinthians:12:12 @The signs , indeed , of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience , in signs , and wonders , and mighty deeds , ylt @2Corinthians:12:13 @for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies , except that I myself was not a burden to you ? forgive me this injustice ! ylt @2Corinthians:12:14 @Lo , a third time I am ready to come unto you , and I will not be a burden to you , for I seek not yours , but you , for the children ought not for the parents to lay up , but the parents for the children , ylt @2Corinthians:12:15 @and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls , even if , more abundantly loving you , less I am loved . ylt @2Corinthians:12:16 @And be it [so ], I -- I did not burden you , but being crafty , with guile I did take you ; ylt @2Corinthians:12:17 @any one of those whom I have sent unto you -- by him did I take advantage of you ? ylt @2Corinthians:12:18 @I entreated Titus , and did send with [him ] the brother ; did Titus take advantage of you ? in the same spirit did we not walk ? -- did we not in the same steps ? ylt @2Corinthians:12:19 @Again , think ye that to you we are making defence ? before God in Christ do we speak ; and the all things , beloved , [are ] for your up-building , ylt @2Corinthians:12:20 @for I fear lest , having come , not such as I wish I may find you , and I -- I may be found by you such as ye do not wish , lest there be strifes , envyings , wraths , revelries , evil-speakings , whisperings , puffings up , insurrections , ylt @2Corinthians:12:21 @lest again having come , my God may humble me in regard to you , and I may bewail many of those having sinned before , and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness , and whoredom , and lasciviousness , that they did practise . ylt @2Corinthians:13:1 @This third time do I come unto you ; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established ; ylt @2Corinthians:13:2 @I have said before , and I say [it ] before , as being present , the second time , and being absent , now , do I write to those having sinned before , and to all the rest , that if I come again , I will not spare , ylt @2Corinthians:13:3 @since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me , who to you is not infirm , but is powerful in you , ylt @2Corinthians:13:4 @for even if he was crucified from infirmity , yet he doth live from the power of God ; for we also are weak in him , but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you . ylt @2Corinthians:13:5 @Your ownselves try ye , if ye are in the faith ; your ownselves prove ye ; do ye not know your ownselves , that Jesus Christ is in you , if ye be not in some respect disapproved of ? ylt @2Corinthians:13:6 @and I hope that ye shall know that we -- we are not disapproved of ; ylt @2Corinthians:13:7 @and I pray before God that ye do no evil , not that we may appear approved , but that ye may do that which is right , and we may be as disapproved ; ylt @2Corinthians:13:8 @for we are not able to do anything against the truth , but for the truth ; ylt @2Corinthians:13:9 @for we rejoice when we may be infirm , and ye may be powerful ; and this also we pray for -- your perfection ! ylt @2Corinthians:13:10 @because of this , these things -- being absent -- I write , that being present , I may not treat [any ] sharply , according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up , and not for casting down . ylt @2Corinthians:13:11 @Henceforth , brethren , rejoice ; be made perfect , be comforted , be of the same mind , be at peace , and the God of the love and peace shall be with you ; ylt @2Corinthians:13:12 @salute one another in an holy kiss ; ylt @2Corinthians:13:13 @salute you do all the saints ; ylt @2Corinthians:13:14 @the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ , and the love of God , and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit , [is ] with you all ! Amen .
