¹ Paul, an apostle 652 of Jesus Christ, 5547 through 1223 the will 2307 of God, 2316 and 2532 Timothy the 3588 brother, 80 to the 3588 assembly 1577 3588 of God, 2316 to the one 3588 being in 1722 Corinth, with 4862 [²the 3588 ³holy ones 39 ¹all], 3956 to the ones 3588 being in 1722 all 3650 3588 Achaia.

² Favor 5484 to you 1473 and 2532 peace 1515 from 575 God 2316 our 1473 father 3962 and 2532 the Lord 2962 Jesus Christ. 5547

³ Blessed be 2128 the 3588 God 2316 and 2532 father 3962 3588 of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5547 the 3588 father 3962 of the 3588 compassions, 3628 and 2532 God 2316 of all 3956 comfort; 3874

⁴ the one 3588 comforting 3870 us 1473 in 1909 all 3956 3588 our 1473 affliction, 2347 for 1519 the 3588 enabling 1410 us 1473 to comfort 3870 the ones 3588 in 1722 every 3956 affliction, 2347 through 1223 the 3588 consolation 3874 of which 3739 we are comforted 3870 in ourselves 1473 by 5259 3588 God. 2316

⁵ For 3754 as 2531 [⁵abound 4052 ¹the 3588 ²sufferings 3804 ³of the 3588 ⁴Christ] 5547 in 1519 us, 1473 so 3779 through 1223 Christ 5547 [²also 2532 abounds 4052 3588 ¹our 1473 comfort]. 3874

⁶ But 1161 whether 1535 we are afflicted 2346 for 5228 3588 your 1473 comfort 3874 and 2532 deliverance 4991 of the one 3588 being energized 1754 in 1722 the endurance 5281 of the 3588 same 1473 sufferings, 3804 which 3739 also 2532 we 1473 suffer, 3958

⁷ (and 2532 3588 our 1473 hope 1680 is firm 949 for 5228 you;) 1473 or whether 1535 we are comforted, 3870 it is for 5228 3588 your 1473 comfort 3874 and 2532 deliverance; 4991 knowing 1492 that 3754 as 5618 [²partners 2844 ¹you are] of the 3588 sufferings, 3804 so 3779 also 2532 of the 3588 comfort. 3874

⁸ [³not 3756 ¹For 1063 ²we do] want 2309 you 1473 to be ignorant, 50 brethren, 80 as to 5228 3588 our 1473 affliction, 2347 of the one 3588 happening 1096 to us 1473 in 1722 3588 Asia, that 3754 [²in 2596 ³excess 5236 ¹we were weighed down] 916 beyond 5228 power, 1411 so as for 5620 us to be destitute even 2532 of 3588 living. 2198

⁹ But 235 we 1473 [⁵in 1722 ⁶ourselves 1438 ²the 3588 ³sentence 610 3588 ⁴of death 2288 ¹have had], 2192 that 2443 [²not 3361 ⁴relying 3982 ¹we should ³be] upon 1909 ourselves, 1438 but 235 upon 1909 3588 God, 2316 the one 3588 raising 1453 the 3588 dead. 3498

¹⁰ Who 3739 from out of 1537 such a 5082 death 2288 rescued 4506 us, 1473 and 2532 does rescue; 4506 in 1519 whom 3739 we have hope 1679 that 3754 also 2532 still 2089 he shall rescue; 4506

¹¹ working along with 4943 you 1473 also 2532 for 5228 us 1473 3588 by supplication, 1162 that 2443 by 1537 many 4183 persons 4383 the 3588 [²to 1519 ³us 1473 ¹favor 5486 ⁵through 1223 ⁶many 4183 ⁴should be for giving thanks] 2168 for 5228 you. 1473

¹² 3588 For 1063 [³our 1473 boasting 2746 ¹this 3778 ²is] -- the 3588 testimony 3142 3588 of our conscience, that 3754 in 1722 singleness 572 and 2532 honesty 1505 of God, 2316 (not 3756 in 1722 [²wisdom 4678 ¹fleshy], 4559 but 235 by 1722 favor 5484 of God) 2316 we behaved 390 in 1722 the 3588 world, 2889 and more exceedingly to 4314 you. 1473

¹³ For 1063 not 3756 another thing 243 do we write 1125 to you, 1473 other 235 than 2228 what 3739 you read 314 or 2228 also 2532 recognize; 1921 and I hope that 3754 even 2532 until 2193 the end 5056 you will recognize; 1921

¹⁴ as 2531 also 2532 you recognized 1921 us 1473 in 575 part; 3313 for 3754 [²boasting 2745 ¹we are your], just as 2509 also 2532 you are 1473 ours 1473 in 1722 the 3588 day 2250 of the 3588 Lord 2962 Jesus.

¹⁵ And 2532 in this 3778 3588 reliance 4006 I was wanting 1014 to come 2064 to 4314 you 1473 prior, 4387 that 2443 a second 1208 favor 5484 you should have; 2192

¹⁶ and 2532 by 1223 you 1473 to go through 1330 into 1519 Macedonia, and 2532 again 3825 from 575 Macedonia to come 2064 to 4314 you, 1473 and 2532 by 5259 you 1473 to be sent forward 4311 into 1519 3588 Judea.

¹⁷ This 3778 then 3767 planning, 1011 lest anything 3385 [²it 686 3588 ³in lightness 1644 ¹did I treat]? 5530 or 2228 what 3739 I planned, 1011 [²according to 2596 ³ the flesh 4561 ¹did I plan] 1011 that 2443 there might be by 3844 me 1473 the 3588 yes, 3483 yes, 3483 and 2532 the 3588 no, 3756 no? 3756

¹⁸ But 1161 trustworthy 4103 3588 is God, 2316 that 3754 3588 our 1473 word 3056 3588 to 4314 you 1473 became 1096 not 3756 yes 3483 and 2532 no. 3756

¹⁹ For 1063 the 3588 3588 son of God, Jesus Christ, 5547 the one 3588 among 1722 you 1473 [²by 1223 ³us 1473 ¹being proclaimed], 2784 (by 1223 me 1473 and 2532 Silas and 2532 Timothy,) was 1096 not 3756 yes 3483 and 2532 no, 3756 but 235 [²yes 3483 ³in 1722 ⁴him 1473 ¹became]. 1096

²⁰ For as many promises 1860 of God there are , 2316 in 1722 him 1473 is the 3588 yes, 3483 and 2532 in 1722 him 1473 the 3588 amen 281 to 3588 God 2316 for 4314 glory 1391 by 1223 us. 1473

²¹ And the one firming 950 us 1473 with 4862 you 1473 unto 1519 Christ, 5547 and 2532 having anointed 5548 us, 1473 is God; 2316

²² even the one setting a seal upon 4972 us, 1473 and 2532 having given 1325 the 3588 deposit 728 of the 3588 spirit 4151 in 1722 3588 our 1473 hearts. 2588

²³ And 1161 I 1473 [² as witness 3144 3588 ¹call upon God] upon 1909 3588 my 1699 soul, 5590 that 3754 sparing 5339 you, 1473 no longer 3765 did I come 2064 to 1519 Corinth.

²⁴ Not 3756 that 3754 we dominate 2961 [³of yours 1473 ¹of the 3588 ²belief], 4102 but 235 we are fellow-workers 3588 of your joy; for in the belief 4102 you stand. 2476

2

¹ But I decided in myself 1683 this, 3778 3588 not 3361 again 3825 to come 2064 in 1722 distress 3077 to 4314 you. 1473

² For 1063 if 1487 I 1473 grieve 3076 you, 1473 then 2532 who 5100 is the one 3588 gladdening 2165 me 1473 unless 1508 it be the one 3588 being grieved 3076 by 1537 me? 1473

³ And 2532 I wrote 1125 to you 1473 this 3778 same thing , 1473 lest having come 2064 [²distress 3077 ¹I should have] 2192 of 575 which 3739 it is necessary 1163 for me 1473 to rejoice over ; 5463 relying 3982 upon 1909 you 1473 all, 3956 that 3754 3588 my 1699 joy 5479 [²all 3956 ³of you 1473 ¹is].

⁴ For out of much 4183 affliction 2347 and 2532 conflict 4928 of heart 2588 I wrote 1125 to you 1473 through 1223 many 4183 tears; 1144 not 3756 that 2443 you should be grieved, 3076 but 235 [³the 3588 ⁴love 26 ¹that 2443 ²you should know] 1097 which 3739 I have 2192 more exceedingly 4056 towards 1519 you. 1473

⁵ But 1161 if 1487 any 5100 has grieved, 3076 [²not 3756 ⁴me 1473 ¹he has ³grieved], 3076 but 235 in 3313 part; 575 that 2443 I should not 3361 overburden 1912 you 1473 all. 3956

⁶ [⁵ is enough 2425 3588 ⁶to such a one 5108 3588 ¹This 3778 reproach 2009 3588 ²by 5259 ³the 3588 ⁴many]. 4183

⁷ So that 5620 on the other hand 5121 rather 3123 you 1473 are to grant favor 5483 and 2532 to comfort him , 3870 lest 3381 the 3588 more extra 4053 distress 3077 should swallow down 2666 3588 such a one. 5108

⁸ Therefore 1352 I appeal to 3870 you 1473 to validate 2964 [²unto 1519 ³him 1473 ¹love]. 26

⁹ [²unto 1519 ³this 3778 ¹For] 1063 also 2532 I wrote, 1125 that 2443 I should know 1097 3588 your 1473 proof, 1382 if 1487 in 1519 everything 3956 you are subjects.

¹⁰ But to whom you grant favor in anything, so also 2532 I; 1473 for 1063 also 2532 I, 1473 if anything 1536 have granted favor , 5483 to whom 3739 I have granted favor , 5483 it is for your sake in 1722 the person 4383 of Christ; 5547

¹¹ that 2443 we should not be taken advantage of by 5259 3588 Satan; 4567 [³not 3756 ¹for 1063 ⁵of his 1473 3588 ⁶thoughts 3540 ²we are ⁴ignorant]. 50

¹² Now having come unto 1519 3588 Troas for 1519 the 3588 good news 2098 of the 3588 Christ, 5547 also 2532 a door 2374 was opened to me in 1722 the Lord. 2962

¹³ I did not 3756 have 2192 relaxation 425 in 3588 my 1473 spirit 4151 3588 at my not finding Titus 3588 my 1473 brother; 80 but 235 being sent off 657 by them, 1473 I went forth 1831 into 1519 Macedonia.

¹⁴ 3588 But 1161 to God 2316 be favor 5484 3588 at all times 3842 causing us to triumph in 1722 the 3588 Christ; 5547 and 2532 [²the 3588 ³scent 3744 ⁴of the 3588 ⁵knowledge 1108 ⁶of him 1473 ¹making manifest] 5319 through 1223 us 1473 in 1722 every 3956 place. 5117

¹⁵ For 3754 of Christ 5547 [²a pleasant aroma offering 2175 ¹we are] to 3588 God 2316 among 1722 the ones 3588 being delivered, 4982 and 2532 among 1722 the ones 3588 perishing; 622

¹⁶ to 3303 some, 3739 a scent 3744 of death 2288 to 1519 death; 2288 but to some a scent 3744 of life 2222 to 1519 life. 2222 And 2532 for 4314 these things 3778 who 5100 is fit? 2425

¹⁷ For 1063 not 3756 are we as 5613 the 3588 rest 3062 peddling 2585 the 3588 word 3056 3588 of God; 2316 but 235 as 5613 from 1537 honesty, 1505 but 235 as 5613 of 1537 God, 2316 before 2714 3588 God 2316 in 1722 Christ 5547 we speak. 2980

3

¹ Do we begin 756 again 3825 to commend ourselves, unless 1508 we need, 5535 as 5613 some, 5100 of introductory 4956 letters 1992 to 4314 you, 1473 or 2228 [²from 1537 ³you 1473 ¹introductory letters ]? 4956

² 3588 [³our 1473 letter 1992 ¹You 1473 ²are] being written 1449 in 1722 3588 our 1473 hearts, 2588 being known 1097 and 2532 being read 314 by 5259 all 3956 men; 444

³ being manifested 5319 that 3754 you are [²letter 1992 ¹Christ's] 5547 served 1247 by 5259 us, 1473 having been written 1449 not 3756 with ink, 3188 but 235 by spirit 4151 of the living God; not 3756 on 1722 tablets 4109 of stones, 3035 but 235 on 1722 [²tablets 4109 ³of the heart 2588 ¹fleshly]. 4560

⁴ [³reliance 4006 ¹And 1161 ²such] 5108 we have 2192 through 1223 the 3588 Christ 5547 towards 4314 3588 God; 2316

⁵ not 3756 that 3754 we are fit of 575 ourselves 1438 to consider 3049 anything 5100 as 5613 from out of 1537 ourselves, 1438 but our 1473 fitness 2426 is of 1537 3588 God; 2316

⁶ who 3739 also 2532 made us fit servants 1249 of a new 2537 covenant, 1242 not 3756 of contract, 1121 but 235 of spirit. 4151 For 1063 the 3588 contract 1121 kills, 615 but 1161 the 3588 spirit 4151 restores to life. 2227

⁷ And 1161 if 1487 the 3588 service 1248 3588 of death 2288 in 1722 contracts 1121 having been impressed 1795 in 1722 stones, 3037 happened 1096 for 1722 glory, 1391 so as for 5620 [⁴to not 3361 ⁵be able 1410 ⁶to gaze 816 ¹the 3588 ²sons 5207 ³of Israel] into 1519 the 3588 face 4383 of Moses because of 1223 the 3588 glory 1391 3588 of his face, the one 3588 being cleared away; 2673

⁸ how 4459 not 3780 more 3123 the 3588 service 1248 of the 3588 spirit 4151 will be in 1722 glory? 1391

⁹ For 1063 if 1487 the 3588 service 1248 3588 of condemnation 2633 be glory, 1391 much 4183 rather 3123 abounds 4052 the 3588 service 1248 3588 of righteousness 1343 in 1722 glory. 1391

¹⁰ For 1063 also 2532 not even 3761 [³has been glorified 1392 ¹the thing 3588 ²having been glorified] 1392 in 1722 this 3778 3588 part, 3313 on account of 1752 the 3588 exceeding 5235 glory. 1391

¹¹ For 1063 if 1487 the thing 3588 being cleared away 2673 was through 1223 glory, 1391 much 4183 rather 3123 the thing 3588 which remains 3306 is in 1722 glory. 1391

¹² Having 2192 then 3767 such 5108 hope, 1680 [²in much 4183 ³confidence 3954 ¹we deal]; 5530

¹³ and 2532 not 3756 as 2509 Moses put 5087 a covering 2571 upon 1909 the 3588 face 4383 of himself, 1438 for 4314 the thing 3588 [⁴to not 3361 ⁵gaze 816 ¹of the 3588 ²sons 5207 ³of Israel] unto 1519 the 3588 end 5056 of the thing 3588 being cleared away. 2673

¹⁴ But 235 [²were calloused 4456 3588 ¹their 1473 thoughts]. 3540 For as far as 3588 today 4594 the 3588 same 1473 covering 2571 [²upon 1909 ³the 3588 ⁴reading 320 ⁵of the 3588 ⁶old 3820 ⁷covenant 1242 ¹remains], 3306 not 3361 uncovered, 343 which 3754 in 1722 Christ 5547 is being cleared away. 2673

¹⁵ But 235 unto 2193 today, 4594 when 2259 Moses is read, a covering 2571 [²upon 1909 3588 ³their 1473 heart 2588 ¹lies]. 2749

¹⁶ But 1161 when 2259 ever 302 it should turn 1994 towards 4314 the Lord, 2962 [³is removed 4014 ¹the 3588 ²covering]. 2571

¹⁷ And 1161 the 3588 Lord 2962 [²the 3588 ³spirit 4151 ¹is]; but 1161 where 3739 the 3588 spirit 4151 of the Lord is , 2962 there is 1563 freedom. 1657

¹⁸ But 1161 we 1473 all 3956 with uncovered 343 face 4383 [²the 3588 ³glory 1391 ⁴of the Lord 2962 ¹ are reflecting], 2734 the 3588 same 1473 image 1504 being transformed 3339 from 575 glory 1391 unto 1519 glory, 1391 just as 2509 from 575 the Lord 2962 of spirit. 4151

4

¹ Therefore, having 2192 3588 this 3778 service, 1248 as 2531 we were shown mercy, 1653 we tire not.

² But 235 we forbade 550 the 3588 hidden things 2927 3588 of shame, 152 not 3361 walking 4043 in 1722 cleverness, 3834 nor 3366 acting treacherously in 1389 the 3588 word 3056 3588 of God; 2316 but 235 3588 by open display 5321 of the 3588 truth, 225 commending 4921 ourselves 1438 to 4314 every 3956 conscience 4893 of men 444 before 1799 3588 God. 2316

³ But 1161 if 1487 2532 [²is ³being covered 2572 3588 ¹our good news], [³among 1722 ⁴the ones 3588 ⁵perishing 622 ¹it is ²covered]; 2572

⁴ in 1722 which 3739 the 3588 god 2316 3588 of this eon blinded 5186 the 3588 thoughts 3540 of the 3588 unbelieving, 571 so 3588 as 1519 to not 3361 shine forth 826 to them 1473 the 3588 illumination 5462 of the 3588 good news 2098 of the 3588 glory 1391 of the 3588 Christ, 5547 who 3739 is image 1504 of the 3588 unseen 517 of God. 2316

⁵ For 1063 not 3756 ourselves 1438 do we proclaim, 2784 but 235 Christ 5547 Jesus Lord; 2962 and 1161 ourselves 1438 your 1473 bondmen 1401 for the sake of 1223 Jesus.

⁶ For 3754 3588 God 2316 is the one 3588 having told 2036 [³from 1537 ⁴darkness 4655 ¹light 5457 ²to radiate], 2989 who 3739 radiated 2989 in 1722 3588 our 1473 hearts 2588 for 4314 the illumination 5462 of the 3588 knowledge 1108 of the 3588 glory 1391 3588 of God 2316 in 1722 the person 4383 of Jesus Christ. 5547

⁷ But we have 3588 this 3778 treasure 2344 in 1722 earthenware 3749 vessels, 4632 that 2443 the 3588 excess 5236 of the 3588 power 1411 might be 3588 of God, 2316 and 2532 not 3361 of 1537 us; 1473

⁸ in 1722 every way 3956 afflicted, 2346 but 235 not 3756 having been restricted; 4729 perplexed, 639 but 235 not 3756 left destitute; 1820

⁹ persecuted, 1377 but 235 not 3756 abandoned; 1459 thrown down, 2598 but 235 not 3756 destroyed; 622

¹⁰ at all times 3842 the 3588 slaying 3500 of the 3588 Lord 2962 Jesus in 1722 the 3588 body 4983 carrying round about, 4064 that 2443 also 2532 the 3588 life 2222 3588 of Jesus in 1722 3588 our 1473 body 4983 should be manifested. 5319

¹¹ For 1063 continually, 104 we 1473 the 3588 living, 2198 [²unto 1519 ³death 2288 ¹are delivered up] 3860 on account of 1223 Jesus, that 2443 also 2532 the 3588 life 2222 3588 of Jesus should be manifested 5319 in 1722 3588 [²mortal 2349 ³flesh 4561 ¹our]. 1473

¹² So that 5620 3588 indeed, 3303 death 2288 [²in 1722 ³us 1473 ¹operates], 1754 3588 but 1161 life 2222 in 1722 you. 1473

¹³ And 1161 having 2192 the 3588 same 1473 spirit, 4151 of the 3588 belief, 4102 according to 2596 the thing 3588 having been written, 1125 I trusted 4100 therefore 1352 I spoke; 2980 we 1473 also 2532 trust, 4100 therefore 1352 we also speak.

¹⁴ Knowing 1492 that 3754 the one 3588 having raised 1453 the 3588 Lord 2962 Jesus, also 2532 [²us 1473 ³through 1223 ⁴Jesus ¹shall raise], 1453 and 2532 he shall stand beside 3936 with 4862 you. 1473

¹⁵ 3588 For 1063 all things 3956 are on account of 1223 you, 1473 that 2443 the 3588 favor 5484 superabounding 4121 through 1223 the 3588 many 4183 3588 [²thanksgiving 2169 ¹should cause] to abound 4052 to 1519 the 3588 glory 1391 3588 of God. 2316

¹⁶ Therefore 1352 we do not 3756 tire; 1573 but 235 even if 1499 3588 our 1473 outer 1854 man 444 be corrupted, 1311 yet 235 the 3588 inner 2081 is restored 341 day 2250 by 2532 day. 2250

¹⁷ For 1063 the 3588 immediate 3910 lightness 1645 3588 of our affliction [²according to 2596 ³excess 5236 ⁴to 1519 ⁵excess 5236 ⁶an eternal 166 ⁷load 922 ⁸of glory 1391 ¹manufactures] 2716 to us; 1473

¹⁸ [²not 3361 ³watching 4648 ¹of our] 1473 the things 3588 being seen, 991 but 235 the things 3588 not 3361 being seen; 991 for the things being seen 991 are temporary, 4340 but the things not 3361 being seen 991 are eternal. 166

5

¹ For we know that 3754 if 1437 3588 our 1473 earthly 1919 house 3614 of the 3588 tent 4636 be rested up, 2647 [²a construction 3619 ³from 1537 ⁴God 2316 ¹we have], 2192 a house 3614 not made by hands, 886 eternal 166 in 1722 the 3588 heavens. 3772

² For 1063 also 2532 in 1722 this 3778 we moan, 4727 3588 [³our dwelling-place -- ⁴the one 3588 ⁵of 1537 ⁶heaven 3772 ²to put on 1902 ¹longing]; 1971

³ if indeed 1489 also 2532 being clothed, 1746 [²not 3756 ⁴naked 1131 ¹we shall ³be found]. 2147

⁴ For 1063 also 2532 [²the ones 3588 ³being ⁴in 1722 ⁵the 3588 ⁶tent 4636 ¹we] moan, 4727 being weighed down; 916 since 1894 we do not 3756 want 2309 to be stripped, 1562 but 235 to put on, 1902 that 2443 [³should be swallowed down 2666 ¹the 3588 ²mortal] 2349 by 5259 the 3588 life. 2222

⁵ And the one manufacturing 2716 us 1473 for 1519 this same thing is God, 2316 the one 3588 also 2532 having given 1325 to us 1473 the 3588 deposit 728 of the 3588 spirit. 4151

⁶ Taking courage 2292 then 3767 at all times, 3842 and 2532 knowing 1492 that 3754 while dwelling at home 1736 in 1722 the 3588 body, 4983 we are abroad 1553 from 575 the 3588 Lord. 2962

⁷ [²by 1223 ³belief 4102 ¹For] 1063 we walk, 4043 not 3756 by 1223 sight. 1491

⁸ And we take courage, and 2532 we take pleasure 2106 rather 3123 to be abroad 1553 from 1537 the 3588 body, 4983 and 2532 to dwell at home 1736 with 4314 the 3588 Lord. 2962

⁹ Therefore 1352 also 2532 we strive earnestly, 5389 whether 1535 dwelling at home 1736 or whether 1535 being abroad, 1553 [²well-pleasing 2101 ³to him 1473 ¹to be].

¹⁰ [³the ones 3588 ¹For 1063 ²all] 3956 of us 1473 [²be manifested 5319 ¹must] 1163 before 1715 the 3588 rostrum 968 of the 3588 Christ, 5547 that 2443 [²should receive 2865 ¹each] 1538 the things 3588 of 1223 the 3588 body, 4983 as to 4314 what 3739 he practiced, 4238 whether 1535 good 18 or whether 1535 bad. 2556

¹¹ Knowing 1492 then 3767 the 3588 fear 5401 of the 3588 Lord, 2962 [²men 444 ¹we persuade]. 3982 But to God we have been made apparent; 5319 and I hope also 2532 in 1722 3588 your 1473 consciences 4893 we have been made apparent. 5319

¹² For 1063 [²not 3756 ⁵again 3825 ⁴ourselves 1438 ¹we do ³commend] 4921 to you, 1473 but 235 [³opportunity 874 ¹are giving 1325 ²you] 1473 for boasting 2745 over 5228 us, 1473 that 2443 you should have something 2192 against 4314 the ones 3588 [²in 1722 ³appearance 4383 ¹boasting], 2744 and 2532 not 3756 in heart. 2588

¹³ For 1063 whether 1535 we were startled, 1839 it was to God; 2316 or whether 1535 we were of a sound mind, 4993 it is for you. 1473

¹⁴ For 1063 the 3588 love 26 of the 3588 Christ 5547 constrains 4912 us, 1473 having adjudged 2919 this, 3778 that 3754 if 1487 one 1520 [²for 5228 ³all 3956 ¹died], 599 then 686 3588 all 3956 died; 599

¹⁵ and 2532 [²for 5228 ³all 3956 ¹ that he died], 599 that 2443 the ones 3588 living 2198 no longer 3371 should live to themselves, but 235 to the one 3588 [²for 5228 ³them 1473 ¹having died] 599 and 2532 arising. 1453

¹⁶ So that 5620 we 1473 from 575 the 3588 present 3568 [²nothing 3762 ¹know] 1492 according to 2596 the flesh. 4561 And 1161 if 1487 also 2532 we have known 1097 [²according to 2596 ³ the flesh 4561 ¹Christ], 5547 but 235 now 3568 no longer 3765 do we know him thus . 1097

¹⁷ So that 5620 if anyone 1536 be in 1722 Christ, 5547 there is a new 2537 creation, 2937 the 3588 old things 744 passed away; 3928 behold, 2400 [²have become 1096 ³new 2537 ¹all things ].

¹⁸ 3588 And 1161 all things 3956 are of 1537 3588 God, 2316 of the 3588 reconciling 2644 us 1473 to himself 1438 through 1223 Jesus Christ, 5547 and 2532 having given 1325 to us 1473 the 3588 service 1248 of the 3588 of reconciliation; 2643

¹⁹ how 5613 that 3754 God 2316 was in 1722 Christ 5547 [² the world 2889 ¹reconciling] 2644 to himself, 1438 not 3361 imputing 3049 to them 1473 3588 their 1473 transgressions, 3900 and 2532 having put 5087 in 1722 us 1473 the 3588 word 3056 of the 3588 reconciliation. 2643

²⁰ For 5228 of Christ 5547 then 3767 we are ambassadors, 4243 as 5613 of God 2316 appealing 3870 through 1223 us; 1473 we beseech 1189 for 5228 Christ -- 5547 be reconciled 2644 3588 to God! 2316

²¹ For the one not 3361 knowing 1097 sin, 266 [³for 5228 ⁴us 1473 ²a sin offering 266 ¹he made], 4160 that 2443 we 1473 should be 1096 righteousness 1343 of God 2316 by 1722 him. 1473

6

¹ And working together also 2532 we appeal 3870 [²to not 3361 ⁴in 1519 ⁵vain 2756 ⁶the 3588 ⁷favor 5484 3588 ⁸of God 2316 ³receive 1209 ¹for you], 1473

² (for he says, [²time 2540 ¹In an accepted] 1184 I heeded 1873 you, 1473 and 2532 in 1722 the day 2250 of deliverance 4991 I helped 997 you; 1473 behold, 2400 now 3568 [²time 2540 ¹is a well-received]; 2144 behold, 2400 now 3568 is the day 2250 of deliverance); 4991

³ in no way 3367 [³in 1722 ⁴anything 3367 ¹giving 1325 ²a cause for stumbling], 4349 that 2443 [³should not 3361 ⁴be scoffed at 3469 ¹the 3588 ²service]; 1248

⁴ but 235 in 1722 everything 3956 commending 4921 ourselves 1438 as 5613 God's 2316 servants, 1249 in 1722 [²endurance 5281 ¹much], 4183 in 1722 afflictions, 2347 in 1722 necessities, 318 in 1722 straits, 4730

⁵ in 1722 strokes, 4127 in 1722 imprisonments, 5438 in 1722 commotions, 181 in 1722 toils, 2873 in 1722 sleeplessnesses, 70 in 1722 fastings, 3521

⁶ in 1722 purity, 54 in 1722 knowledge, 1108 in 1722 leniency, 3115 in 1722 graciousness, 5544 in 1722 [²spirit 4151 ¹holy], 39 in 1722 love 26 unpretentious, 505

⁷ in the 1722 word 3056 of truth, 225 in 1722 power 1411 of God, 2316 through 1223 the 3588 weapons 3696 3588 of righteousness 1343 of the 3588 right 1188 and 2532 left, 710

⁸ through 1223 glory 1391 and 2532 dishonor, 819 through 1223 evil report 1426 and 2532 good report; 2162 as 5613 deluded, 4108 and 2532 yet true; 227

⁹ as 5613 being not known, 50 and 2532 yet being recognized; 1921 as 5613 dying, 599 and 2532 behold 2400 we live; 2198 as 5613 ones being corrected, 3811 and 2532 not 3361 being put to death; 2289

¹⁰ as 5613 grieving, 3076 but 1161 continually 104 rejoicing; 5463 as 5613 poor, 4434 [³many 4183 ¹but 1161 ²enriching]; 4148 as 5613 nothing 3367 having, 2192 and 2532 all things 3956 holding. 2722

¹¹ 3588 Our 1473 mouth 4750 has been opened 455 to 4314 you, 1473 O Corinthians, 3588 our 1473 heart 2588 widened. 4115

¹² You have not 3756 been restricted 4729 by 1722 us, 1473 [⁴you have been restricted 4729 ¹but 1161 ²in 1722 3588 ³your feelings of compassion],

¹³ but 1161 the 3588 same 1473 compensation 489 (as 5613 to children 5043 I speak) 3004 [²be widened 4115 ³also 2532 ¹you]. 1473

¹⁴ Do not 3361 become 1096 yoked with a different kind -- 2086 unbelievers. 571 For 1063 what 5100 sharing 3352 righteousness 1343 and 2532 lawlessness? 458 And 1161 what 5100 fellowship 2842 light 5457 with 4314 darkness? 4655

¹⁵ And 1161 what 5100 harmony 4857 Christ 5547 with 4314 Belial? Or 2228 what 5100 portion 3310 believing 4103 with 3326 unbelieving? 571

¹⁶ And 1161 what 5100 accord 4783 a temple 3485 of God 2316 with 3326 idols? 1497 For 1063 you 1473 [²a temple 3485 ⁴God 2316 ¹are ³of the living]. 2198 As 2531 God said that, 3754 I will dwell 1774 among 1722 them, 1473 and 2532 I will walk about; 1704 and 2532 I will be their 1473 God, 2316 and 2532 they 1473 will be to me 1473 a people. 2992

¹⁷ Therefore 1352 come forth 1831 from out of 1537 the midst 3319 of them, 1473 and 2532 be separated, 873 says 3004 the Lord; 2962 and 2532 [² the unclean 169 ¹touch 680 not]! 3361 and I 2504 will take you in.

¹⁸ And 2532 I will be to you 1473 for 1519 father, 3962 and 2532 you 1473 shall be to me 1473 for 1519 sons 5207 and 2532 daughters, 2364 says 3004 the Lord 2962 almighty. 3841

7

¹ [³these 3778 ²then 3767 ¹Having] 2192 3588 promises, 1860 beloved, 27 we should cleanse 2511 ourselves 1438 from 575 all 3956 contamination 3436 of the flesh 4561 and 2532 spirit, 4151 complete 2005 holiness 42 in 1722 fear 5401 of God. 2316

² Have space 5562 for us; 1473 no one 3762 we wronged, 91 no one 3762 we corrupted, 5351 no one 3762 we took advantage of. 4122

³ [²not 3756 ³for 4314 ⁴condemnation 2633 ¹I speak]; 3004 for I have described beforehand that 3754 [²in 1722 3588 ³our 1473 hearts 2588 ¹you are] for 1519 the 3588 dying together 4880 and 2532 living together. 4800

⁴ Great 4183 is it to me 1473 to be in an open manner 3954 with 4314 you, 1473 great is it 4183 to me 1473 in boasting 2746 over 5228 you. 1473 I have been filled 4137 3588 with comfort; 3874 I superabound 5248 3588 in joy 5479 at 1909 all 3956 3588 our 1473 affliction. 2347

⁵ For 1063 even 2532 our 1473 coming 2064 into 1519 Macedonia, [³no 3762 ²had 2192 ⁴relaxation 425 3588 ¹our 1473 flesh], 4561 but 235 in 1722 every way 3956 being afflicted; 2346 from outside -- 1855 battles; 3163 from inside -- 2081 fears. 5401

⁶ But 235 the one 3588 comforting 3870 the 3588 humble, 5011 comforts 3870 us -- 1473 3588 God, 2316 by 1722 the 3588 arrival 3952 of Titus.

⁷ [²not 3756 ³only 3440 ¹But] 1161 in 1722 3588 his 1473 arrival, 3952 but 235 also 2532 in 1722 the 3588 comfort 3874 in which 3739 he was comforted 3870 by 1909 you, 1473 announcing 312 to us 1473 3588 your 1473 longing, 1972 3588 your 1473 grieving, 3602 3588 your 1473 zeal 2205 for 5228 me; 1473 so as for 5620 me 1473 more 3123 to rejoice. 5463

⁸ For 3754 if even 1499 I grieved 3076 you 1473 in 1722 the 3588 letter, 1992 I do not 3756 repent, 3338 if even 1499 I repented; 3338 for I see that 3754 3588 that 1565 letter, 1992 if even 1499 for 4314 an hour, 5610 that it grieved 3076 you. 1473

⁹ Now 3568 I rejoice, 5463 not 3756 that 3754 you were grieved, 3076 but 235 that 3754 you were grieved 3076 into 1519 repentance. 3341 For you were grieved according to 2596 God, 2316 that 2443 in 1722 nothing 3367 you should suffer loss 2210 by 1537 us. 1473

¹⁰ 3588 For 1063 [⁵towards 2596 ⁶God 2316 ¹distress 3077 ⁴repentance 3341 ⁷unto 1519 ⁸deliverance 4991 ³an irrevocable 278 ²manufactures]; 2716 but 1161 the 3588 [²of the 3588 ³world 2889 ¹distress 3077 ⁵death 2288 ⁴manufactures]. 2716

¹¹ For 1063 behold, 2400 this same thing 3588 [³towards 2596 ⁴God 2316 ²fretted 3076 ¹you], 1473 how much 4214 it manufactured 2716 in you -- 1473 diligence, 4710 but 235 defense, 627 but 235 indignation, 24 but 235 fear, 5401 but 235 longing, 1972 but 235 zeal, 2205 but 235 punishment. 1557 In 1722 every way 3956 you commended 4921 yourselves 1438 to be pure in 1722 the 3588 matter. 4229

¹² Then 686 if even 1499 I wrote 1125 to you, 1473 it was not 3756 because of 1752 the one 3588 doing wrong, 91 nor 3761 because of 1752 the one 3588 being wronged; 91 but 235 because 1752 of the 3588 manifesting 5319 3588 our 1473 diligence, 4710 the one 3588 for 5228 you, 1473 to 4314 you 1473 before 1799 3588 God. 2316

¹³ On account of 1223 this 3778 we have been comforted 3870 over 1909 3588 your 1473 comfort; 3874 but more exceedingly rather 3123 we rejoiced 5463 at 1909 the 3588 joy 5479 of Titus, that 3754 [²has been put at rest 373 3588 ¹his 1473 spirit] 4151 by 575 all 3956 of you. 1473

¹⁴ For 3754 if in anything 1536 [²to him 1473 ³about 5228 ⁴you 1473 ¹I have boasted], 2744 I was not 3756 disgraced; 2617 but 235 as 5613 [²all things 3956 ⁴in 1722 ⁵truth 225 ¹we spoke 2980 ³to you], 1473 so 3779 also 2532 3588 our 1473 boasting 2746 3588 unto 1909 Titus [²truth 225 ¹became]. 1096

¹⁵ And 2532 3588 his feelings of compassion [²more exceedingly 4056 ³towards 1519 ⁴you 1473 ¹are], calling to mind 363 the 3588 [²of all 3956 ³of you 1473 ¹obedience], 5218 as 5613 with 3326 fear 5401 and 2532 trembling 5156 you received 1209 him. 1473

¹⁶ I rejoice 5463 that 3754 in 1722 everything 3956 I take courage 2292 in 1722 you. 1473

8

¹ But we make known to you, 1473 brethren, 80 the 3588 favor 5484 3588 of God, 2316 the one 3588 having been given 1325 in 1722 the 3588 assemblies 1577 3588 of Macedonia;

² that 3754 in 1722 much 4183 proof 1382 of affliction, 2347 the 3588 abundance 4050 3588 of their joy, and 2532 the 3588 [²according to 2596 ¹depth] 899 their 1473 poorness, 4432 abounded 4052 to 1519 the 3588 riches 4149 3588 of their simplicity.

³ For 3754 according to 2596 their power, 1411 I witness, 3140 and 2532 above 5228 their power 1411 their enthusiasm, 830

⁴ with 3326 much 4183 consolation 3874 beseeching 1189 of us 1473 the 3588 favor 5484 and 2532 the 3588 fellowship 2842 of the 3588 service, 1248 of the one 3588 for 1519 the 3588 holy ones, 39 for us to receive it .

⁵ And 2532 not 3756 only as 2531 we hoped, 1679 but 235 of themselves 1438 they gave 1325 first 4412 to the 3588 Lord, 2962 and 2532 to us 1473 through 1223 the will 2307 of God. 2316

⁶ So 3588 that 1519 we appealed to Titus, that 2443 as 2531 he began before, 4278 so 3779 also 2532 he should complete 2005 with 1519 you 1473 also 2532 3588 this 3778 favor. 5484

⁷ But 235 as 5618 in 1722 every way 3956 you abound, 4052 in belief, 4102 and 2532 word, 3056 and 2532 knowledge, 1108 and 2532 all 3956 diligence, 4710 and 2532 in the 3588 [²from 1537 ³you 1473 ⁴to 1722 ⁵us 1473 ¹love], 26 that 2443 also 2532 in 1722 this 3778 3588 favor 5484 you should abound. 4052

⁸ Not 3756 according to 2596 command 2003 I speak, 3004 but 235 through 1223 the 3588 [²of others 2087 ¹diligence], 4710 and 2532 the 3588 [²of the 3588 ⁴of your 5212 ⁵love 26 ³genuineness 1103 ¹proving]. 1381

⁹ For you know the 3588 favor 5484 3588 of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5547 that 3754 for 1223 you 1473 he became poor -- 4433 being rich; 4145 that 2443 you 1473 by 1565 his 3588 poorness 4432 should be enriched. 4147

¹⁰ And 2532 an opinion 1106 in 1722 this 3778 I give. 1325 For 1063 this 3778 is advantageous to you, the ones who 3748 not 3756 only 3440 the 3588 doing, 4160 but 235 also 2532 the 3588 wanting, 2309 began before 4278 a year ago.

¹¹ But 1161 now 3568 also 2532 [²the 3588 ³doing 4160 ¹complete]! 2005 so that 3704 just as 2509 the 3588 eagerness 4288 of the thing 3588 wanted, 2309 so 3779 also 2532 the 3588 completing 2005 of 1537 the 3588 having. 2192

¹² For 1063 if 1487 the 3588 eagerness 4288 is situated, 4295 according to that which 2526 ever 1437 anyone should have , it is well-received, 2144 it is not 3756 according to that which 2526 he does not have.

¹³ For it is not that 2443 others 243 have liberty, 425 but to you affliction; 2347

¹⁴ but 235 from out of 1537 equality 2471 in 1722 the 3588 present 3568 time, 2540 that 3588 your 1473 abundance 4051 be for 1519 3588 their 1565 deficiency, 5303 that 2443 also 2532 3588 their 1565 abundance 4051 should be 1096 for 1519 3588 your 1473 deficiency, 5303 so that 3704 [²should take place 1096 ¹equality]. 2471

¹⁵ As 2531 it has been written, 1125 The one gathering 3588 3588 much 4183 was not 3756 superabundant; 4121 and 2532 the one gathering 3588 3588 few 3641 did not 3756 have less. 1641

¹⁶ But 1161 gratitude 5484 be to 3588 God, 2316 to the one 3588 giving 1325 the 3588 same 1473 diligence 4710 for 5228 you 1473 in 1722 the 3588 heart 2588 of Titus;

¹⁷ for 3754 the 3588 comfort 3874 indeed 3303 he received; 1209 [³more diligent 4705 ¹but 1161 ²being] 5224 in enthusiasm 830 he came forth 1831 to 4314 you. 1473

¹⁸ And we sent with 3326 him 1473 the 3588 brother, 80 of whom 3739 the 3588 high praise 1868 is in 1722 the 3588 good news 2098 through 1223 all 3956 the 3588 assemblies 1577

¹⁹ (and not only so , but 235 also 2532 handpicked 5500 by 5259 the 3588 assemblies; 1577 he is our traveling companion with 4862 3588 this 3778 favor, 5484 which is 3588 being served 1247 by 5259 us 1473 to 4314 the 3588 [⁴himself 1473 ²of the 3588 ³Lord 2962 ¹glory] 1391 and 2532 of your eagerness)

²⁰ getting in readiness 4724 for this, 3778 lest 3361 anyone 5100 should scoff at us in 1722 the 3588 vigor 100 by which this 3778 3588 is being served 1247 by 5259 us; 1473

²¹ thinking beforehand 4306 good things , 2570 not 3756 only 3440 before 1799 the Lord, 2962 but 235 also 2532 before 1799 men. 444

²² And we sent together with them 1473 3588 our 1473 brother 80 whom 3739 we approved 1381 [⁴in 1722 ⁵many things 4183 ³often 4178 ²diligent 4705 ¹being], but 1161 now 3568 much 4183 more diligent, 4705 [²reliance 4006 ¹in much] 4183 3588 towards 1519 you; 1473

²³ whether 1535 for 5228 Titus, [²partner 2844 ¹my] 1699 and 2532 for 1519 you 1473 a fellow-worker; 4904 or whether 1535 of our brethren, apostles 652 of assemblies, 1577 the glory 1391 of Christ. 5547

²⁴ The 3588 demonstration 1732 then 3767 3588 of your love, and 2532 our 1473 boasting 2746 for 5228 you, 1473 [²to 1519 ³them 1473 ¹demonstrate], 1731 and 2532 in 1519 front 4383 of the 3588 assemblies! 1577

9

¹ [³concerning 4012 ²indeed 3303 ¹For] 1063 of the 3588 service, 1248 of the one 3588 for 1519 the 3588 holy ones, 39 [²more extra 4053 ³for me 1473 ¹it is] 3588 to write 1125 to you. 1473

² For I know 3588 your 1473 eagerness, 4288 which 3739 [²over 5228 ³you 1473 ¹I boast] 2744 to Macedonia, that 3754 Achaia made preparations 3903 over 575 a year ago; 4070 and 2532 the result 3588 of 1537 your 1473 zeal 2205 excited 2042 the 3588 many. 4183

³ And I sent forth the 3588 brethren, 80 lest 3588 our 1473 boasting, 2745 the one 3588 over 5228 you, 1473 should be nullified 2758 in 1722 3588 this 3778 portion; 3313 that 2443 (as 2531 I said) 3004 [²making preparations 3903 ¹you should be];

⁴ lest perhaps 3381 if 1437 [²should come 2064 ³with 4862 ⁴me 1473 ¹Macedonians] and 2532 should find 2147 you 1473 unprepared, 532 we should be disgraced, (so that 2443 we should not say -- You) 1473 in 1722 3588 this 3778 support 5287 3588 of boasting. 2746

⁵ [²important 316 ³then 3767 ¹I esteemed it] 2233 to appeal to 3870 the 3588 brethren, 80 that 2443 they should go forth 4281 unto 1519 you, 1473 and 2532 complete beforehand 4294 3588 [³preannounced 4293 ⁴blessing 2129 ²your 1473 ¹this], 3778 being prepared, 2092 thus 3779 as 5613 a blessing, 2129 and 2532 not 3361 as if 5618 a desire for wealth. 4124

⁶ But this I say , The one 3588 sowing 4687 sparingly, 5340 [³sparingly 5340 ¹also 2532 ²harvests]; 2325 and 2532 the one 3588 sowing 4687 for 1909 blessings, 2129 for 1909 blessings 2129 also 2532 he shall harvest. 2325

⁷ Let each 1538 do as 2531 he resolves 4255 in the 3588 heart, 2588 not 3361 from 1537 distress 3077 or 2228 from 1537 necessity; 318 [⁴a happy 2431 ¹for 1063 ⁵giver 1395 ³loves 25 3588 ²God]. 2316

⁸ [³ is able 1415 ¹And 1161 3588 ²God 2316 ⁵every 3956 ⁶favor 5484 ⁴to abound] 4052 unto 1519 you, 1473 that 2443 in 1722 every way , 3956 at all times 3842 [³all 3956 ⁴sufficiency 841 ²having 2192 ¹you should abound] 4052 for 1519 every 3956 [²work 2041 ¹good] 18

⁹ (as 2531 it has been written, 1125 He dispersed, 4650 he gave 1325 to the 3588 needy; 3993 3588 his 1473 righteousness 1343 abides 3306 into 1519 the 3588 eon. 165

¹⁰ And the one supplying 2023 seed 4690 to the one 3588 sowing, 4687 even 2532 [²bread 740 ³for 1519 ⁴food 1035 ¹may he supply], 5524 and 2532 multiply 4129 3588 your 1473 sowing, 4703 and 2532 may he increase 837 the 3588 offspring 1081 3588 of your righteousness)

¹¹ in 1722 every way 3956 being enriched 4148 in 1519 all 3956 simplicity, 572 which 3748 manufactures 2716 through 1223 us 1473 thankfulness 2169 3588 to God. 2316

¹² For 3754 the 3588 service 1248 3588 of this ministration, not 3756 only 3440 is filling up in addition 4322 the 3588 deficiencies 5303 of the 3588 holy ones, 39 but 235 also 2532 abounding 4052 through 1223 many 4183 thanksgivings 2169 3588 to God; 2316

¹³ through 1223 the 3588 proof 1382 3588 of this service glorifying 1392 3588 God 2316 upon 1909 the 3588 submission 5292 3588 of your acknowledgment offering to 1519 the 3588 good news 2098 of the 3588 Christ, 5547 and 2532 simplicity 572 of the 3588 fellowship 2842 to 1519 them 1473 and 2532 unto 1519 all, 3956

¹⁴ and 2532 their 1473 supplication 1162 for 5228 you, 1473 longing after 1971 you 1473 through 1223 the 3588 exceeding 5235 favor 5484 3588 of God 2316 unto 1909 you. 1473

¹⁵ And 1161 gratitude 5484 3588 be to God 2316 over 1909 3588 his 1473 inexpressible 411 gift. 1431

10

¹ [³myself 1473 ¹But 1161 ²I], 1473 Paul, appeal to 3870 you, 1473 through 1223 the 3588 gentleness 4236 and 2532 clemency 1932 of the 3588 Christ, 5547 who 3739 in 4383 person 2596 indeed 3303 am humble 5011 among 1722 you, 1473 and 1161 absent 548 I take courage 2292 in 1519 you. 1473

² But I beseech you , I the one 3588 not 3361 at hand 3918 to have taken courage, 2292 with the 3588 reliance 4006 which 3739 I consider 3049 to dare 5111 against 1909 some 5100 of the ones 3588 considering 3049 us 1473 as 5613 [²according to 2596 ³ the flesh 4561 ¹walking], 4043

³ [³in 1722 ⁴ the flesh 4561 ¹for 1063 ²walking 4043 ⁶not 3756 ⁷according to 2596 ⁸ the flesh 4561 ⁵we soldier], 4754

⁴ (for 1063 the 3588 weapons 3696 3588 of our army are not 3756 fleshly, 4559 but 235 mighty 1415 3588 with God 2316 to 4314 the demolition 2506 of fortresses), 3794

⁵ [²devices 3053 ¹demolishing] 2507 and 2532 every 3956 height 5313 being lifted up 1869 against 2596 the 3588 knowledge 1108 3588 of God, 2316 and 2532 captivating 163 every 3956 thought 3540 into 1519 the 3588 obedience 5218 of the 3588 Christ; 5547

⁶ and 2532 [²in 1722 ³readiness 2092 ¹having] 2192 to punish 1556 all 3956 disobedience, 3876 whenever 3752 [³should be fulfilled 4137 ¹your 1473 3588 ²obedience]. 5218

⁷ The things 3588 according to 2596 appearance 4383 do you take heed only ? 991 If anyone 1536 is persuaded 3982 in himself 1438 to be of Christ, let him consider this again 3825 of 575 himself, 1438 that 3754 as 2531 he 1473 is of Christ, 5547 so 3779 also 2532 we are 1473 of Christ. 5547

⁸ For if also even 2532 more extra 4053 somewhat 5100 I should boast 2744 concerning 4012 3588 our 1473 authority, 1849 (of which 3739 [³gave 1325 ¹the 3588 ²Lord] 2962 to us 1473 for 1519 construction, 3619 and 2532 not 3756 for 1519 your 1473 demolition,) 2506 I shall not 3756 be ashamed ; 153

⁹ that 2443 I should not 3361 seem 1380 as 5613 if 302 to frighten 1629 you 1473 through 1223 3588 letters. 1992

¹⁰ For 3754 the 3588 letters 1992 indeed, 3303 one says, 5346 are heavy 926 and 2532 strong, 2478 3588 but 1161 the arrival 3952 3588 of his person 4983 weak, 772 and 2532 the 3588 word 3056 being contemptable. 1848

¹¹ [⁴this 3778 ¹Let ³consider 3049 3588 ²such], 5108 that 3754 as 3634 we are 3588 in word 3056 through 1223 letters 1992 being absent, 548 such 5108 [²when 2532 ³at hand 3918 3588 ¹ are we at work]. 2041

¹² For 1063 not 3756 do we dare 5111 to approve 1469 or 2228 compare 4793 ourselves 1438 with some 5100 of the ones 3588 commending 4921 themselves; 1438 but 235 [³ that they 1473 ⁶by 1722 ⁷themselves 1438 ⁵themselves 1438 ⁴ are measuring 3354 ⁸and 2532 ⁹comparing 4793 ¹⁰themselves 1438 ¹¹with themselves 1438 ¹they do not 3756 ²notice]. 4920

¹³ But 1161 we 1473 [²not 3780 ⁴to 1519 ⁵the things 3588 ⁶immeasurable 280 ¹shall ³boast], 2744 but 235 according to 2596 the 3588 measure 3358 of the 3588 rule 2583 of which 3739 God portioned to us, 1473 a measure 3358 reaching 2185 as far as 891 even 2532 of you. 1473

¹⁴ For 1063 not 3756 as one 5613 not 3361 reaching 2185 [³to 1519 ⁴you 1473 ¹do we overstretch 5239 ²ourselves], 1438 for 1063 unto 891 you 1473 even 2532 we arrive 5348 with 1722 the 3588 good news 2098 of the 3588 Christ; 5547

¹⁵ not 3756 [²in 1519 ³things 3588 ⁴immeasurable 280 ¹boasting] 2744 in 1722 another's 245 toils; 2873 [³hope 1680 ¹but 1161 ²having], 2192 increasing 837 of the 3588 belief 4102 of yours 1473 [²among 1722 ³you 1473 ¹to be magnified], 3170 according to 2596 3588 our 1473 rule 2583 in 1519 abundance, 4050

¹⁶ [²to 1519 ³the ones 3588 ⁴farther 5238 ⁵from you 1473 ¹to announce good news]; 2097 and not 3756 [²in 1722 ³another's 245 ⁴rule 2583 ⁵ 3588 already 1519 ⁶prepared 2092 ¹to boast]. 2744

¹⁷ But the one boasting, 2744 [²in 1722 ³ the Lord 2962 ¹let him boast]. 2744

¹⁸ For it is not the one 3588 commending 4921 himself 1438 that 1565 is approved, 1384 but 235 whom 3739 the 3588 Lord 2962 commends. 4921

11

¹ I would 3784 you endure 430 me 1473 a little 3397 3588 folly; 877 or 235 even 2532 endure 430 me. 1473

² For I am zealous for you with 1473 zeal 2206 of God. 2316 For I suited you 1473 to one 1520 husband 435 [²virgin 3933 ¹as a pure] 53 to present 3936 to the 3588 Christ. 5547

³ But I fear, perhaps 3381 as 5613 the 3588 serpent 3789 cheated 1818 Eve in 1722 3588 his 1473 cleverness, 3834 so 3779 [²should be corrupted 5351 3588 ¹your 1473 thoughts] 3540 from 575 the 3588 simplicity, 572 of the one 3588 in 1519 the 3588 Christ. 5547

⁴ For if indeed the one 3588 coming 2064 [²another 243 ³Jesus ¹to proclaim] 2784 whom 3739 we did not 3756 proclaim; 2784 or 2228 [³spirit 4151 ²another 2087 ¹you received] 2983 which 3739 you did not 3756 receive from us ; 2983 or 2228 [²good news 2098 ¹another] 2087 which 3739 you did not 3756 receive -- 1209 well 2573 you withhold from it . 430

⁵ For I consider in nothing 3367 to be lacking 5302 of the 3588 more 5228 exceeding 3029 apostles. 652

⁶ And 1161 if 1487 even 2532 I be a common person 2399 in the 3588 communication, 3056 but I am 235 not 3756 in the 3588 knowledge; 1108 but I am 235 in 1722 every way 3956 making manifest 5319 in 1722 all things 3956 to 1519 you. 1473

⁷ Or 2228 [²sin 266 ¹did I commit], 4160 [²myself 1683 ¹humbling], 5013 that 2443 you 1473 should be exalted? 5312 that 3754 without charge 1431 [²the 3588 3588 ³good news of God ¹I announced good news] 2097 to you. 1473

⁸ Other 243 assemblies 1577 I robbed, 4813 taking 2983 a ration 3800 for 4314 3588 your 1473 service; 1248

⁹ and 2532 being at hand 3918 with 4314 you, 1473 and 2532 being lacking, 5302 I was not 3756 lax 2655 of anyone. 3762 3588 For 1063 my 1473 deficiency 5303 [³filled up in addition 4322 ¹the 3588 ²brethren], 80 having come 2064 from 575 Macedonia; and 2532 in 1722 everything 3956 [³easy 4 ⁴to you 1473 ²myself 1683 ¹I kept], 5083 and 2532 I will keep it so . 5083

¹⁰ It is the truth 225 of Christ 5547 in 1722 me, 1473 that 3754 3588 this 3778 boasting 2746 shall not 3756 be shut up 5420 in 1519 me 1473 in 1722 the 3588 regions 2824 3588 of Achaia.

¹¹ Why? 1302 because 3754 I do not 3756 love 25 you? 1473 3588 God 2316 knows. 1492

¹² But 1161 what 3739 I do, 4160 also 2532 I shall do, 4160 that 2443 I should cut off 1581 the 3588 opportunity 874 of the ones 3588 wanting 2309 an opportunity, 874 that 2443 in 1722 what 3739 they boast, 2744 they should be found 2147 as 2531 also 2532 we. 1473

¹³ 3588 For 1063 such ones 5108 are false apostles, 5570 [²workers 2040 ¹deceitful], 1386 changing appearance 3345 into 1519 apostles 652 of Christ. 5547

¹⁴ For 2532 it is not 3756 surprising 2298 [³himself 1473 ¹for 1063 3588 ²Satan] 4567 to change appearance 3345 into 1519 an angel 32 of light. 5457

¹⁵ It is not 3756 a great thing 3173 then 3767 if even 1499 3588 his 1473 servants 1249 change appearance 3345 as 5613 servants 1249 of righteousness; 1343 whom 3739 the 3588 end 5056 will be according to 2596 3588 their 1473 works. 2041

¹⁶ Again 3825 I say, 3004 no 3361 one 5100 should assume me to be a fool; but if not 1490 indeed, 1065 if 2579 as 5613 a fool 878 receive 1209 me! 1473 that 2443 some a little I also 2504 should boast. 2744

¹⁷ What 3739 I speak, 2980 I do not 3756 speak 2980 according to 2596 the Lord, 2962 but 235 as 5613 in 1722 folly, 877 in 1722 this 3778 3588 essence 5287 3588 of boasting. 2746

¹⁸ Since 1893 many 4183 boast 2744 according to 2596 the 3588 flesh, 4561 also I 2504 shall boast. 2744

¹⁹ For with pleasure you endure 430 3588 fools, 878 being practical. 5429

²⁰ For you endure if anyone 1536 reduce you to slavery, if anyone 1536 devours, 2719 if anyone 1536 takes, 2983 if anyone 1536 lifts up himself , 1869 if anyone 1536 [²you 1473 ³in 1519 ⁴ the face 4383 ¹flays]. 1194

²¹ According to 2596 dishonor 819 I speak, 3004 as 5613 that 3754 we 1473 were weak. 770 [²in 1722 ³which 3739 ⁴ever 1161 ¹But] 302 anyone 5100 should be daring, 5111 (in 1722 folly 877 I speak) 3004 [²am daring 5111 ¹I also]. 2504

²² They are Hebrews, I also. 2504 They are Israelites, I also. 2504 [²seed 4690 ³of Abraham ¹They are], I also. 2504

²³ [²servants 1249 ³of Christ 5547 ¹They are], (ranting 3912 I speak), 2980 above measure , 5228 I also 1473 in 1722 toils -- 2873 more exceedingly; 4056 in 1722 beatings -- 4127 above measure; 5234 in 1722 imprisonments -- 5438 more exceedingly; 4056 in 1722 deaths -- 2288 often. 4178

²⁴ By 5259 the Jews five times 3999 [²forty strokes 5062 ³save 3844 ⁴one 1520 ¹I received]. 2983

²⁵ Three times 5151 I was beaten with a rod; 4463 once 530 I was stoned; 3034 three times 5151 I was shipwrecked; 3489 night and day 3574 in 1722 the 3588 deep 1037 I have spent; 4160

²⁶ in journeys 3597 often; 4178 in dangers 2794 of rivers; 4215 in dangers 2794 of robbers; 3027 in dangers 2794 from 1537 my race; 1085 in dangers 2794 from 1537 nations; 1484 in dangers 2794 in 1722 the city; 4172 in dangers 2794 in 1722 desolate places ; 2047 in dangers 2794 in 1722 the sea; 2281 in dangers 2794 among 1722 false brethren; 5569

²⁷ in 1722 toil 2873 and 2532 trouble; 3449 in 1722 sleeplessnesses 70 often; 4178 in 1722 hunger 3042 and 2532 thirst; 1373 in 1722 fastings 3521 often; 4178 in 1722 chilliness 5592 and 2532 nakedness. 1132

²⁸ Separate from 5565 the things 3588 outwardly, 3924 there is the 3588 conspiring against 1999 me 1473 in the 3588 daily 3588 anxiety 3308 concerning all 3956 the 3588 assemblies. 1577

²⁹ Who 5100 is weak, 770 and 2532 I am not 3756 weak? 770 Who 5100 is stumbled, 4624 and 2532 I am not on fire? 4448

³⁰ If 1487 [²boast 2744 ¹I must], 1163 [² in the things 3588 3588 ³of my weakness ¹I will boast]. 2744

³¹ The 3588 God 2316 and 2532 father 3962 of the 3588 Lord 2962 Jesus Christ 5547 knows, 1492 the one 3588 being blessed 2128 into 1519 the 3588 eons, 165 that 3754 I do not 3756 lie. 5574

³² In 1722 Damascus the 3588 ethnarch 1481 of Aretas the 3588 king 935 guarded 5432 the 3588 city of the Damascenes, [²to lay hold 4084 ³of me 1473 ¹wanting]; 2309

³³ and 2532 through 1223 a window 2376 in 1722 a cord basket 4553 I was let down 5465 through 1223 the 3588 wall, 5038 and 2532 I fled from 1628 3588 his 1473 hands. 5495

12

¹ To boast 2744 indeed 1211 is not 3756 an advantage 4851 to me; 1473 for I will come unto 1519 apparations 3701 and 2532 revelations 602 of the Lord. 2962

² I know 1492 a man 444 in 1722 Christ 5547 [³ago 4253 ²years 2094 ¹fourteen], 1180 (whether 1535 in 1722 body, 4983 I do not 3756 know; 1492 or whether 1535 outside 1623 the 3588 body, 4983 I do not 3756 know, 1492 3588 God 2316 knows) 1492 being seized by force 726 3588 was such a one 5108 unto 2193 the third 5154 heaven. 3772

³ And 2532 I know 1492 3588 such 5108 a man, 444 (whether 1535 in 1722 the body, 4983 or whether 1535 outside 1623 the 3588 body, 4983 I do not 3756 know, 1492 3588 God 2316 knows), 1492

⁴ that 3754 he was seized by force 726 into 1519 3588 paradise, 3857 and 2532 heard 191 [²not made known 731 ¹sayings], 4487 which 3739 is not allowed for a man 444 to speak. 2980

⁵ Concerning 5228 3588 such a one 5108 I will boast, 2744 but 1161 concerning 5228 myself 1683 I shall not 3756 boast, 2744 unless 1508 in 1722 3588 my 1473 weaknesses. 769

⁶ For 1063 if 1437 I should want 2309 to boast, 2744 I will not be a fool; 878 [³ the truth 225 ¹for 1063 ²I shall speak]. 2046 But I spare, lest 3361 anyone 5100 1519 should consider me above 5228 what 3739 he sees 991 me to be , 1473 or 2228 hears 191 anything 5100 of 1537 me. 1473

⁷ And 2532 [⁴ over the 3588 ⁵excess 5236 ⁶of the 3588 ⁷revelations 602 ¹so that 2443 ²I should not 3361 ³be elevated], 5229 there was given 1325 to me 1473 a barb 4647 in the 3588 flesh, 4561 a messenger 32 of Satan, 4566 that 2443 he should buffet me, that 2443 I should not 3361 be elevated. 5229

⁸ For 5228 this 3778 three times 5151 [²the 3588 ³Lord 2962 ¹I appealed to] 3870 that 2443 it should abstain 868 from 575 me. 1473

⁹ And 2532 he has said 2046 to me, 1473 Sufficient 714 to you 1473 3588 is my favor. 3588 For 1063 my 1473 power 1411 [²in 1722 ³weakness 769 ¹is perfected]. 5048 Most gladly 2236 then 3767 rather 3123 I will boast 2744 in 1722 3588 my 1473 weaknesses, 769 that 2443 [⁵should set up tent 1981 ⁶over 1909 ⁷me 1473 ¹the 3588 ²power 1411 ³of the 3588 ⁴Christ]. 5547

¹⁰ Therefore 1352 I think well 2106 in 1722 weaknesses, 769 in 1722 insults, 5196 in 1722 necessities, 318 in 1722 persecutions, 1375 in 1722 straits 4730 for 5228 Christ. 5547 For 1063 whenever 3752 I should be weak, 770 then 5119 I am mighty.

¹¹ I have become 1096 a fool 878 boasting -- 2744 you 1473 compelled 315 me. 1473 For 1063 I 1473 ought 3784 by 5259 you 1473 to be commended; 4921 for in nothing was I lacking 5302 of the 3588 more 5228 exceeding 3029 apostles, 652 if even 1499 I am nothing.

¹² Indeed 3303 the 3588 signs 4592 of the 3588 apostle 652 were worked 2716 among 1722 you 1473 in 1722 all 3956 endurance, 5281 in 1722 signs, 4592 and 2532 miracles, 5059 and 2532 works of power. 1411

¹³ For in what is it that 3739 you were inferior 2274 beyond 5228 the 3588 rest 3062 of the assemblies, 1577 unless 1508 that 3754 I 1473 myself 1473 was not 3756 lax 2655 of you? 1473 Grant 5483 me 1473 3588 this 3778 injustice! 93

¹⁴ Behold, 2400 a third time 5154 readily 2093 I have 2192 come 2064 to 4314 you, 1473 and 2532 I will not 3756 be lax 2655 of you. 1473 For I do not seek 2212 the things 3588 of yours, 1473 but 235 you. 1473 [⁵not 3756 ¹For 1063 ⁴ought 3784 ²the 3588 ³children 5043 ⁷for the 3588 ⁸parents 1118 ⁶to treasure up], 2343 but 235 the 3588 parents 1118 for the 3588 children. 5043

¹⁵ And 1161 I 1473 most gladly 2236 will spend 1159 and 2532 expend 1550 for 5228 3588 your 1473 souls, 5590 if even 1499 more exceedingly 4056 loving 25 you, 1473 [²less 2276 ¹I be loved]. 25

¹⁶ But let it be! I 1473 did not 3756 burden 2599 you; 1473 but 235 being 5224 clever, 3835 in cunning 1388 I took you.

¹⁷ Did 3361 by any 5100 whom 3739 I sent 649 to 4314 you, 1473 through 1223 him 1473 take advantage 4122 of you? 1473

¹⁸ I appealed to 3870 Titus, and 2532 sent along with him 4882 the 3588 brother. 80 [⁴in anything 3385 ²take advantage 4122 ³of you 1473 ¹Did Titus]? [²not 3756 ⁴by the 3588 ⁵same 1473 ⁶spirit 4151 ¹Do we ³walk]? 4043 Not 3756 in the 3588 same 1473 tracks? 2487

¹⁹ Again, 3825 do you think 1380 that 3754 to you 1473 we make a defense? 626 Before 2714 3588 God 2316 in 1722 Christ 5547 we speak. 2980 3588 But 1161 all things , 3956 beloved, 27 is for 5228 3588 your 1473 edification. 3619

²⁰ For I fear perhaps 3381 having come 2064 [³not 3756 ⁴as 3634 ⁵I want 2309 ¹I should find 2147 ²you]; 1473 and I 2504 should be found 2147 by you 1473 such as 3634 you want not; lest perhaps 3381 there be strife, 2054 jealousies, 2205 rages, 2372 contentions, 2052 evil speakings, 2636 whisperings, 5587 inflation of minds, 5450 commotions; 181

²¹ lest 3361 again 3825 having come 2064 [²should humble me 3588 ¹my 1473 God] 2316 as to 4314 you, 1473 and 2532 I should mourn 3996 much 4183 of the ones 3588 previously sinning, 4258 and 2532 not 3361 having repented 3340 over 1909 the 3588 uncleanness 167 and 2532 harlotry 4202 and 2532 lewdness 766 which 3739 they practiced. 4238

13

¹ This third time I come 2064 to 4314 you. 1473 By 1909 the mouth 4750 of two 1417 witnesses 3144 and 2532 three 5140 [³is established 2476 ¹every 3956 ²saying]. 4487

² I have described beforehand 4280 and 2532 say beforehand, 4302 as 5613 being at hand 3918 the 3588 second time , 1208 and 2532 being absent 548 now 3568 I write 1125 to the ones 3588 who previously sinned, 4258 and 2532 3588 to all the rest, that 3754 if 1437 I should come, 2064 for 1519 the 3588 again 3825 I shall not 3756 spare, 5339

³ since 1893 [²a proof 1382 ¹you seek] 2212 of the 3588 [³in 1722 ⁴me 1473 ²speaking 2980 ¹Christ], 5547 which 3739 among 1519 you 1473 is not weak, but 235 is mighty 1414 in 1722 you. 1473

⁴ For 1063 even 2532 if 1487 he was crucified 4717 from out of 1537 weakness, 769 yet 235 he lives 2198 through 1537 power 1411 of God. 2316 For 1063 even 2532 we 1473 are weak 770 in 1722 him, 1473 but 235 we shall live 2198 with 4862 him 1473 by 1537 God's 2316 power 1411 among 1519 you. 1473

⁵ Test 3985 yourselves, 1438 if 1487 you are in 1722 the 3588 belief! 4102 Try 1381 yourselves! 1438 Or 2228 do you not 3756 recognize 1921 yourselves 1438 that 3754 Jesus Christ 5547 [²in 1722 ³you 1473 ¹is]? -- except 1509 you be rejected.

⁶ But I hope that 3754 you know 1097 that 3754 we 1473 are not 3756 rejected. 96

⁷ But I make a vow to 4314 3588 God 2316 [²to not do ¹for you 1473 ⁴evil 2556 ³anything]; 3367 not 3756 that 2443 we 1473 [²approved 1384 ¹should appear], 5316 but 235 that 2443 you 1473 3588 [²good 2570 ¹should do], 4160 and 1161 we 1473 [²as 5613 ³rejected 96 ¹might be].

⁸ For 1063 not 3756 are we able 1410 to do anything 5100 against 2596 the 3588 truth, 225 but 235 for 5228 the 3588 truth. 225

⁹ For we rejoice whenever 3752 we 1473 should be weak, 770 but 1161 you 1473 should be mighty. But 1161 this 3778 also 2532 we make a vow -- 2172 3588 your 1473 readying. 2676

¹⁰ On account of these things 3778 [²being absent 548 ¹I write], 1125 that 2443 being at hand 3918 [²not 3361 ⁴severely 664 ¹I should ³treat you ], 5530 according to 2596 the 3588 authority 1849 which 3739 [³gave 1325 ⁴to me 1473 ¹the 3588 ²Lord] 2962 for 1519 edification, 3619 and 2532 not 3756 for 1519 demolition. 2506

¹¹ The rest, 3062 brethren, 80 rejoice! 5463 Be readied! 2675 Be comforted! 3870 The 3588 same thing 1473 think! 5426 Make peace! 1514 and 2532 the 3588 God 2316 of the 3588 love 26 and 2532 peace 1515 will be with 3326 you. 1473

¹² Greet 782 one another 240 with 1722 a holy 39 kiss! 5370

¹³ [⁴greet 782 ⁵you 1473 ²the 3588 ³holy ones 39 ¹All]. 3956

¹⁴ The 3588 favor 5484 of the 3588 Lord 2962 Jesus Christ, 5547 and 2532 the 3588 love 26 3588 of God, 2316 and 2532 the 3588 fellowship 2842 of the 3588 holy 39 spirit 4151 be with 3326 you 1473 all. 3956 Amen. 281
