2Corinthians:1:12-2
noyes@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and the sincerity which is of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.
noyes@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or even acknowledge. And I trust ye will acknowledge even to the end,
noyes@2Corinthians:1:14 @ as also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your glorying, as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
noyes@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence it was my purpose to come to you before, that ye might receive a second benefit;
noyes@2Corinthians:1:16 @ and to go by way of you into Macedonia, and from Macedonia to come again to you, and by you to be forwarded on my way to Judaea.
noyes@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Having, then, this purpose, did I act with levity? Or in my purposes do I resolve according to the flesh, that with me there should be now yea, yea, and now nay, nay?
noyes@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yea and nay.
noyes@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not found yea and nay, but in him hath been found yea.
noyes@2Corinthians:1:20 @ For as to all the promises of God, in him is yea, and in him amen, to the glory of God through us.
noyes@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now he who maketh us with you steadfast in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
noyes@2Corinthians:1:22 @ he who also sealed us, and gave the Spirit as a pledge in our hearts.
noyes@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call upon God as a witness against my soul, that it was to spare you that I came no more to Corinth;
noyes@2Corinthians:1:24 @ not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy. For in respect to faith ye stand firm.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:1 @ Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I, who present indeed am lowly among you, but am bold toward you when absent;
noyes@2Corinthians:10:2 @ but I entreat you, that I may not when I am present be bold with that confidence wherewith I think of being bold towards some, who think of us as walking according to the flesh.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:3 @ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
noyes@2Corinthians:10:4 @ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds,)
noyes@2Corinthians:10:5 @ casting down reasonings, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing every purpose into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
noyes@2Corinthians:10:6 @ and being in readiness to punish every disobedience, when the measure of your obedience shall be full.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Ye look at the outward appearance. If any one trusteth to himself that he belongeth to Christ, let him of himself consider this again, that as he belongeth to Christ, so also do we.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I should boast still more highly of our authority, which the Lord gave us for building you up, and not pulling you down, I should not be put to shame;
noyes@2Corinthians:10:9 @ that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:10 @ For his letters, saith one, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a one count upon this, that such as we are in word by letters when absent, such will we be also in deed when present.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we do not venture to reckon ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, some of those who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves among themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:13 @ But we will not boast of things that are without our measure, but according to the measure of the line which God allotted us,a measure to reach even to you.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we do not stretch ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not to you; (for as far as even to you did we come, in the gospel of Christ;)
noyes@2Corinthians:10:15 @ not boasting of things that are without measure, in other mens labors, but having hope, when your faith is increased, that our line will through you be still further extended,
noyes@2Corinthians:10:16 @ so that we may preach the gospel in the regions beyond you; not boasting, in anothers line, of things made ready to our hand.
noyes@2Corinthians:10:17 @ But "he that boasteth, let him boast in the Lord."
noyes@2Corinthians:10:18 @ For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:1 @ Would that ye could bear with me in a little folly! and indeed ye do bear with me.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy; for I espoused you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ;
noyes@2Corinthians:11:3 @ but I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from singleheartedness toward Christ.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye did not receive, or another gospel, which ye did not accept, well might ye bear with it.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:5 @ For I suppose that I am in no respect behind the very foremost apostles.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:6 @ And though I am rude in speech, yet I am not in knowledge; but this did we in every respect manifest to you in all things.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Did I commit an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God without charge?
noyes@2Corinthians:11:8 @ I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, in order to do you service;
noyes@2Corinthians:11:9 @ and when I was present with you, and in want, I was a charge to no one; (for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied my wants;) and in every thing I kept myself and will keep myself from being burdensome to you.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:11 @ Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth!
noyes@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off occasion from those who wish for an occasion, in order that in the matter of which they boast they may be found even as we.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:13 @ For such are false apostles, deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder; for even Satan transformeth himself into an angel of light.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:15 @ It is no great thing, then, if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, let no one suppose me a fool; if otherwise, yet even as a fool receive me, that I too may boast myself a little.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as it were in folly, in this confidence of boasting.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will boast also.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:19 @ For ye bear with fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise;
noyes@2Corinthians:11:20 @ for ye bear with it, if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one smites you on the face.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:21 @ I say it to my reproach, that we were weak; but in whatever any one is bold, (I speak in folly,) I am bold also.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:22 @ Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abrams offspring? So am I.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself,) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often;
noyes@2Corinthians:11:24 @ of the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one;
noyes@2Corinthians:11:25 @ thrice I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have spent in the deep;
noyes@2Corinthians:11:26 @ by journeyings often; by perils of rivers, by perils of robbers, by perils from my countrymen, by perils from the heathen, by perils in the city, by perils in the wilderness, by perils in the sea, by perils among false brethren;
noyes@2Corinthians:11:27 @ by weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:28 @ Besides the other troubles, there is that which presseth upon me daily, the anxiety for all the churches.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:29 @ Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is in danger of stumbling, and I do not burn?
noyes@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If I must boast, I will boast of the things which belong to my weakness.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I am not lying.
noyes@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept guard over the city of the Damascenes, in order to apprehend me;
noyes@2Corinthians:11:33 @ and through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:1 @ It is indeed not expedient for me to boast; I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago,whether in the body, I know not, or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth,such a one caught up even to the third heaven.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:3 @ And I know such a man, whether in the body, or without the body, I know not; God knoweth,
noyes@2Corinthians:12:4 @ that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:5 @ Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:6 @ For if I should desire to boast, I should not be a fool; for I should say the truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think of me above what he seeth me to be, or what he heareth from me.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And that I might not be too much lifted up by the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be too much lifted up.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:8 @ In respect to this I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me;
noyes@2Corinthians:12:9 @ and he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may abide upon me.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool; it is ye that compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the very foremost apostles, though I am nothing.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:12 @ Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you with all endurance, by signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is there in which ye were at disadvantage when compared with other churches, except that I myself was not a charge to you? Forgive me this wrong.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Behold, I am ready to come to you this third time, and I will not be a charge to you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:15 @ And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more I love you, the less I am loved.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be it so; I at least was not a charge to you; but yet, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:17 @ Did I make gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?
noyes@2Corinthians:12:18 @ I urged Titus to go to you, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?
noyes@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Have ye been thinking this long time that we are defending ourselves to you? It is before God in Christ that we are speaking; but all things, beloved, for your edification.
noyes@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and lest I too shall be found by you such as ye would not; lest there be wranglings, envying, wraths, rivalries, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;
noyes@2Corinthians:12:21 @ and lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many of those who have sinned already, and did not repent of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they committed.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I said before, and now say beforehand, as when present the second time, so also absent now, to those who have sinned before, and to all the others, that if I come again, I will not spare;
noyes@2Corinthians:13:3 @ since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty among you.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live together with him by the power of God toward you.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Try yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless ye are unapproved?
noyes@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I trust that ye shall know, that we are not unapproved.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:7 @ Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not in order that we may appear approved, but that ye may do what is good, though we be as unapproved.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong; this also we pray for, even your perfection.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:10 @ For this cause I write these things while absent, that when present I may not use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord gave me for edification, and not for destruction.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:11 @ Finally, brethren, farewell! Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:12 @ Salute one another with a holy kiss.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:13 @ All the saints salute you.
noyes@2Corinthians:13:14 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the partaking of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
