{\MTB THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE
\par }{\MTC TO THE
\par }{\MT CORINTHIANS.

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul,
an apostle
of
Christ
Jesus
through
the
will
of
God,
and
Timothy
our
brother,
unto
the
church
of
God
which
is
at
Corinth,
with
all
the
saints
which
are
in
the
whole
of Achaia:
\VS{2}Grace
to
you
and
peace
from
God
our
Father
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{3}Blessed
{\ADD{
be
}}the
God
and
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
Father
of
mercies
and
God
of
all
comfort;
\VS{4}who
comforteth
us
in
all
our
affliction,
that
we
may
be
able
to
comfort
them
that
are
in
any
affliction,
through
the
comfort
wherewith
we
ourselves
are
comforted
of
God.
\VS{5}For
as
the
sufferings
of
Christ
abound
unto
us,
even
so
our
comfort
also
aboundeth
through
Christ.
\VS{6}But
whether
we
be
afflicted,
it
is
for
your
comfort
and
salvation;
or
whether
we
be
comforted,
it
is
for
your
comfort,
which
worketh
in
the
patient
enduring
of
the
same
sufferings
which
we
also
suffer:
\VS{7}and
our
hope
for
you
is
stedfast;
knowing
that,
as
ye
are
partakers
of
the
sufferings,
so
also
are
ye
of
the
comfort.
\VS{8}For
we
would
not
have
you
ignorant,
brethren,
concerning
our
affliction
which
befell
{\ADD{
us
}}in
Asia,
that
we
were
weighed
down
exceedingly,
beyond
our
power, insomuch
that
we
despaired
even
of
life:
\VS{9}yea,
we
ourselves
have
had
the
answer
of
death
within
ourselves,
that
we
should
not
trust
in
ourselves,
but
in
God
which
raiseth
the
dead:
\VS{10}who
delivered
us
out
of
so
great
a
death,
and
will
deliver:
on
whom
we
have
set
our
hope
that
he
will
also
still
deliver
us;
\VS{11}ye
also
helping
together
on
our
behalf
by
your
supplication;
that,
for
the
gift
bestowed
upon
us
by
means
of
many,
thanks
may
be
given
by
many
persons
on
our
behalf.
\VS{12}For
our
glorying
is
this,
the
testimony
of
our
conscience,
that
in
holiness
and
sincerity
of
God,
not
in
fleshly
wisdom
but
in
the
grace
of
God,
we
behaved
ourselves
in
the
world,
and
more
abundantly
to you-ward.
\VS{13}For
we
write
none
other
things
unto
you,
than
what
ye
read
or
even
acknowledge,
and
I
hope
ye
will
acknowledge
unto
the
end:
\VS{14}as
also
ye
did
acknowledge
us
in
part,
that
we
are
your
glorying,
even
as
ye
also
are
ours,
in
the
day
of
our
Lord
Jesus.
\VS{15}And
in
this
confidence
I
was
minded
to
come
before
unto
you,
that
ye
might
have
a
second
benefit;
\VS{16}and
by
you
to
pass
into
Macedonia,
and
again
from
Macedonia
to
come
unto
you,
and
of
you
to
be
set
forward
on
my
journey
unto
Judaea.
\VS{17}When
I
therefore
was
thus
minded,
did
I
shew fickleness?
or
the
things
that
I
purpose,
do
I
purpose
according
to
the
flesh,
that
with
me
there
should
be
the
yea
yea
and
the
nay
nay?
\VS{18}But
as
God
is
faithful,
our
word
toward
you
is
not
yea
and
nay.
\VS{19}For
the
Son
of
God,
Jesus
Christ,
who
was
preached
among
you
by
us,
{\ADD{
even
}}by
me
and
Silvanus
and
Timothy,
was
not
yea
and
nay,
but
in
him
is
yea.
\VS{20}For
how
many
soever
be
the
promises
of
God,
in
him
is
the
yea:
wherefore
also
through
him
is
the
Amen,
unto
the
glory
of
God
through
us.
\VS{21}Now
he
that
stablisheth
us
with
you
in
Christ,
and
anointed
us,
is
God;
\VS{22}who
also
sealed
us,
and
gave
{\ADD{
us
}}the
earnest
of
the
Spirit
in
our
hearts.
\VS{23}But
I
call
God
for
a
witness
upon
my
soul,
that
to
spare
you
I
forbare
to
come
unto
Corinth.
\VS{24}Not
that
we
have lordship
over
your
faith,
but
are
helpers
of
your
joy:
for
by
faith
ye
stand.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
I
determined
this
for
myself,
that
I
would
not
come
again
to
you
with
sorrow.
\VS{2}For
if
I
make
you
sorry,
who
then
is
he
that
maketh
me
glad,
but
he
that
is
made
sorry
by
me?
\VS{3}And
I
wrote
this
very
thing,
lest,
when
I
came,
I
should
have
sorrow
from
them
of
whom
I
ought
to
rejoice;
having
confidence
in
you
all,
that
my
joy
is
{\ADD{
the
joy
}}of
you
all.
\VS{4}For
out
of
much
affliction
and
anguish
of
heart
I
wrote
unto
you
with
many
tears;
not
that
ye
should
be
made
sorry,
but
that
ye
might
know
the
love
which
I
have
more
abundantly
unto
you.
\VS{5}But
if
any
hath
caused
sorrow,
he
hath
caused
sorrow,
not
to
me,
but
in
part (that
I
press
not
too
heavily)
to
you
all.
\VS{6}Sufficient
to
such
a
one
is
this
punishment
which
was
{\ADD{
inflicted
}}by
the
many;
\VS{7}so
that
contrariwise
ye
should
rather
forgive
him
and
comfort
him,
lest
by
any
means
such
a
one
should
be
swallowed
up
with
his
overmuch
sorrow.
\VS{8}Wherefore
I
beseech
you
to
confirm
{\ADD{
your
}}love
toward
him.
\VS{9}For
to
this
end
also
did
I
write,
that
I
might
know
the
proof
of
you,
whether
ye
are
obedient
in
all
things.
\VS{10}But
to
whom
ye
forgive
anything,
I
{\ADD{
forgive
}}also:
for
what
I
also
have
forgiven,
if
I
have
forgiven
anything,
for
your
sakes
{\ADD{
have
I
forgiven
it
}}in
the
person
of
Christ;
\VS{11}that
no
advantage
may
be
gained
over
us
by
Satan:
for
we
are
not
ignorant
of
his
devices.
\VS{12}Now
when
I
came
to
Troas
for
the
gospel
of
Christ,
and
when
a
door
was
opened
unto
me
in
the
Lord,
\VS{13}I
had
no
relief
for
my
spirit,
because
I
found
not
Titus
my
brother:
but
taking
my
leave
of
them,
I
went
forth
into
Macedonia.
\VS{14}But
thanks
be
unto
God,
which
always
leadeth
us
in
triumph
in
Christ,
and
maketh
manifest
through
us
the
savour
of
his
knowledge
in
every
place.
\VS{15}For
we
are
a
sweet
savour
of
Christ
unto
God,
in
them
that
are
being
saved,
and
in
them
that
are
perishing;
\VS{16}to
the
one
a
savour
from
death
unto
death;
to
the
other
a
savour
from
life
unto
life.
And
who
is
sufficient
for
these
things?
\VS{17}For
we
are
not
as
the
many,
corrupting
the
word
of
God:
but
as
of
sincerity,
but
as
of
God,
in
the
sight
of
God,
speak
we
in
Christ.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Are
we
beginning
again
to
commend
ourselves?
or
need
we,
as
do
some,
epistles
of
commendation
to
you
or
from
you?
\VS{2}Ye
are
our
epistle,
written
in
our
hearts,
known
and
read
of
all
men;
\VS{3}being
made
manifest
that
ye
are
an
epistle
of
Christ,
ministered
by
us,
written
not
with
ink,
but
with
the
Spirit
of
the
living
God;
not
in
tables
of
stone,
but
in
tables
{\ADD{
that
are
}}hearts
of
flesh.
\VS{4}And
such
confidence
have
we
through
Christ
to
God-ward:
\VS{5}not
that
we
are
sufficient
of
ourselves,
to
account
anything
as
from
ourselves;
but
our
sufficiency
is
from
God;
\VS{6}who
also
made
us
sufficient
as
ministers
of
a
new
covenant;
not
of
the
letter,
but
of
the
spirit:
for
the
letter
killeth,
but
the
spirit
giveth
life.
\VS{7}But
if
the
ministration
of
death,
written,
{\ADD{
and
}}engraven
on
stones,
came
with
glory,
so
that
the
children
of
Israel
could
not
look
stedfastly
upon
the
face
of
Moses
for
the
glory
of
his
face;
which
{\ADD{
glory
}}was
passing
away:
\VS{8}how
shall
not
rather
the
ministration
of
the
spirit
be
with
glory?
\VS{9}For
if
the
ministration
of
condemnation
is
glory,
much
rather
doth
the
ministration
of
righteousness
exceed
in
glory.
\VS{10}For
verily
that
which
hath
been
made
glorious
hath
not
been
made
glorious
in
this
respect,
by
reason
of
the
glory
that surpasseth.
\VS{11}For
if
that
which
passeth
away
{\ADD{
was
}}with
glory,
much
more
that
which
remaineth
{\ADD{
is
}}in
glory.
\VS{12}Having
therefore
such
a
hope,
we
use
great
boldness
of
speech,
\VS{13}and
{\ADD{
are
}}not
as
Moses,
{\ADD{
who
}}put
a
veil
upon
his
face,
that
the
children
of
Israel
should
not
look
stedfastly
on
the
end
of
that
which
was
passing
away:
\VS{14}but
their
minds
were
hardened:
for
until
this
very
day
at
the
reading
of
the
old
covenant
the
same
veil
remaineth unlifted;
which
{\ADD{
veil
}}is
done
away
in
Christ.
\VS{15}But
unto
this
day, whensoever
Moses
is
read,
a
veil
lieth
upon
their
heart.
\VS{16}But
whensoever
it
shall
turn
to
the
Lord,
the
veil
is
taken
away.
\VS{17}Now
the
Lord
is
the
Spirit:
and
where
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is,
{\ADD{
there
}}is
liberty.
\VS{18}But
we
all,
with unveiled
face
reflecting
as
a
mirror
the
glory
of
the
Lord,
are
transformed
into
the
same
image
from
glory
to
glory,
even
as
from
the
Lord
the
Spirit.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Therefore
seeing
we
have
this
ministry,
even
as
we
obtained
mercy,
we
faint
not:
\VS{2}but
we
have renounced
the
hidden
things
of
shame,
not
walking
in
craftiness,
nor
handling
the
word
of
God
deceitfully;
but
by
the
manifestation
of
the
truth
commending
ourselves
to
every
man’s
conscience
in
the
sight
of
God.
\VS{3}But
and
if
our
gospel
is
veiled,
it
is
veiled
in
them
that
are
perishing:
\VS{4}in
whom
the
god
of
this
world
hath
blinded
the
minds
of
the unbelieving,
that
the
light
of
the
gospel
of
the
glory
of
Christ,
who
is
the
image
of
God,
should
not
dawn
{\ADD{
upon
them}}.
\VS{5}For
we
preach
not
ourselves,
but
Christ
Jesus
as
Lord,
and
ourselves
as
your
servants
for
Jesus’
sake.
\VS{6}Seeing
it
is
God,
that
said,
Light
shall
shine
out
of
darkness,
who
shined
in
our
hearts,
to
give
the
light
of
the
knowledge
of
the
glory
of
God
in
the
face
of
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{7}But
we
have
this
treasure
in
earthen
vessels,
that
the
exceeding
greatness
of
the
power
may
be
of
God,
and
not
from
ourselves;
\VS{8}{\ADD{
we
are
}}pressed
on
every
side,
yet
not
straitened;
perplexed,
yet
not
unto
despair;
\VS{9}pursued,
yet
not
forsaken;
smitten
down,
yet
not
destroyed;
\VS{10}always
bearing
about
in
the
body
the
dying
of
Jesus,
that
the
life
also
of
Jesus
may
be
manifested
in
our
body.
\VS{11}For
we
which
live
are
alway
delivered
unto
death
for
Jesus’
sake,
that
the
life
also
of
Jesus
may
be
manifested
in
our
mortal
flesh.
\VS{12}So
then
death
worketh
in
us,
but
life
in
you.
\VS{13}But
having
the
same
spirit
of
faith,
according
to
that
which
is
written,
I
believed,
and
therefore
did
I
speak;
we
also
believe,
and
therefore
also
we
speak;
\VS{14}knowing
that
he
which
raised
up
the
Lord
Jesus
shall
raise
up
us
also
with
Jesus,
and
shall
present
us
with
you.
\VS{15}For
all
things
{\ADD{
are
}}for
your
sakes,
that
the
grace,
being
multiplied
through
the
many,
may
cause
the
thanksgiving
to
abound
unto
the
glory
of
God.
\VS{16}Wherefore
we
faint
not;
but
though
our
outward
man
is
decaying,
yet
our
inward
man
is
renewed
day
by
day.
\VS{17}For
our
light
affliction,
which
is
for
the
moment,
worketh
for
us
more
and
more
exceedingly
an
eternal
weight
of
glory;
\VS{18}while
we
look
not
at
the
things
which
are
seen,
but
at
the
things
which
are
not
seen:
for
the
things
which
are
seen
are
temporal;
but
the
things
which
are
not
seen
are
eternal.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}For
we
know
that
if
the
earthly
house
of
our
tabernacle
be
dissolved,
we
have
a
building
from
God,
a
house
not
made
with
hands,
eternal,
in
the
heavens.
\VS{2}For
verily
in
this
we
groan,
longing
to
be
clothed
upon
with
our
habitation
which
is
from
heaven:
\VS{3}if
so
be
that
being
clothed
we
shall
not
be
found
naked.
\VS{4}For
indeed
we
that
are
in
this
tabernacle
do
groan,
being
burdened;
not
for
that
we
would
be
unclothed,
but
that
we
would
be
clothed
upon,
that
what
is
mortal
may
be
swallowed
up
of
life.
\VS{5}Now
he
that
wrought
us
for
this
very
thing
is
God,
who
gave
unto
us
the
earnest
of
the
Spirit.
\VS{6}Being
therefore
always
of
good
courage,
and
knowing
that,
whilst
we
are
at
home
in
the
body,
we
are
absent
from
the
Lord
\VS{7}(for
we
walk
by
faith,
not
by
sight);
\VS{8}we
are
of
good
courage,
I
say,
and
are
willing
rather
to
be
absent
from
the
body,
and
to
be
at
home
with
the
Lord.
\VS{9}Wherefore
also
we
make
it
our
aim,
whether
at
home
or
absent,
to
be
well-pleasing
unto
him.
\VS{10}For
we
must
all
be
made
manifest
before
the judgment-seat
of
Christ;
that
each
one
may
receive
the
things
{\ADD{
done
}}in
the
body,
according
to
what
he
hath
done,
whether
{\ADD{
it
be
}}good
or
bad.
\VS{11}Knowing
therefore
the
fear
of
the
Lord,
we
persuade
men,
but
we
are
made
manifest
unto
God;
and
I
hope
that
we
are
made
manifest
also
in
your
consciences.
\VS{12}We
are
not
again
commending
ourselves
unto
you,
but
{\ADD{
speak
}}as
giving
you
occasion
of
glorying
on
our
behalf,
that
ye
may
have
wherewith
to
answer
them
that
glory
in
appearance,
and
not
in
heart.
\VS{13}For
whether
we
are
beside
ourselves,
it
is
unto
God;
or
whether
we
are
of
sober
mind,
it
is
unto
you.
\VS{14}For
the
love
of
Christ
constraineth
us;
because
we
thus
judge,
that
one
died
for
all,
therefore
all
died;
\VS{15}and
he
died
for
all,
that
they
which
live
should
no
longer
live
unto
themselves,
but
unto
him
who
for
their
sakes
died
and
rose
again.
\VS{16}Wherefore
we
henceforth
know
no
man
after
the
flesh:
even
though
we
have
known
Christ
after
the
flesh,
yet
now
we
know
{\ADD{
him
so
}}no
more.
\VS{17}Wherefore
if
any
man
is
in
Christ,
{\ADD{
he
is
}}a
new
creature:
the
old
things
are
passed
away;
behold,
they
are
become
new.
\VS{18}But
all
things
are
of
God,
who
reconciled
us
to
himself
through
Christ,
and
gave
unto
us
the
ministry
of
reconciliation;
\VS{19}to
wit,
that
God
was
in
Christ
reconciling
the
world
unto
himself,
not
reckoning
unto
them
their
trespasses,
and
having
committed
unto
us
the
word
of
reconciliation.
\VS{20}We
are
ambassadors
therefore
on
behalf
of
Christ,
as
though
God
were entreating
by
us:
we
beseech
{\ADD{
you
}}on
behalf
of
Christ,
be
ye
reconciled
to
God.
\VS{21}Him
who
knew
no
sin
he
made
{\ADD{
to
be
}}sin
on
our
behalf;
that
we
might
become
the
righteousness
of
God
in
him.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
working
together
{\ADD{
with
him
}}we
entreat
also
that
ye
receive
not
the
grace
of
God

our

\VS{12}Ye

\VS{13}Now
for
a

in
like
kind (I
speak
as
unto
{\ADD{

be
ye
also
enlarged.
\VS{14}Be
not unequally yoked
with unbelievers:
for
what

have

or
what

hath
light

hath
Christ

hath
a

an unbeliever?
\VS{16}And
what

Come

And

And
I

And

Almighty.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Having
therefore
these
promises,
beloved,
let
us
cleanse
ourselves
from
all
defilement
of
flesh
and
spirit,
perfecting
holiness
in
the
fear
of
God.
\VS{2}Open
your
hearts
to
us:
we
wronged
no
man,
we
corrupted
no
man,
we
took
advantage
of
no
man.
\VS{3}I
say
it
not
to
condemn
{\ADD{
you}}:
for
I
have
said
before,
that
ye
are
in
our
hearts
to
die
together
and
live
together.
\VS{4}Great
is
my
boldness
of
speech
toward
you,
great
is
my
glorying
on
your
behalf:
I
am
filled
with
comfort,
I
overflow
with
joy
in
all
our
affliction.
\VS{5}For
even
when
we
were
come
into
Macedonia,
our
flesh
had
no
relief,
but
{\ADD{
we
were
}}afflicted
on
every
side;
without
{\ADD{
were
}}fightings,
within
{\ADD{
were
}}fears.
\VS{6}Nevertheless
he
that
comforteth
the
lowly,
{\ADD{
even
}}God,
comforted
us
by
the
coming
of
Titus;
\VS{7}and
not
by
his
coming
only,
but
also
by
the
comfort
wherewith
he
was
comforted
in
you,
while
he
told
us
your
longing,
your
mourning,
your
zeal
for
me;
so
that
I
rejoiced
yet
more.
\VS{8}For
though
I
made
you
sorry
with
my
epistle,
I
do
not
regret
it,
though
I
did
regret;
for
I
see
that
that
epistle
made
you
sorry,
though
but
for
a
season.
\VS{9}Now
I
rejoice,
not
that
ye
were
made
sorry,
but
that
ye
were
made
sorry
unto
repentance:
for
ye
were
made
sorry
after
a
godly
sort,
that
ye
might
suffer
loss
by
us
in
nothing.
\VS{10}For
godly
sorrow
worketh
repentance
unto
salvation,
{\ADD{
a
repentance
}}which
bringeth
no
regret:
but
the
sorrow
of
the
world
worketh
death.
\VS{11}For
behold,
this
selfsame
thing,
that
ye
were
made
sorry
after
a
godly
sort,
what
earnest
care
it
wrought
in
you,
yea,
what
clearing
of
yourselves,
yea,
what
indignation,
yea,
what
fear,
yea,
what
longing,
yea,
what
zeal,
yea,
what
avenging!
In
everything
ye
approved
yourselves
to
be
pure
in
the
matter.
\VS{12}So
although
I
wrote
unto
you,
{\ADD{
I
wrote
}}not
for
his
cause
that
did
the
wrong,
nor
for
his
cause
that
suffered
the
wrong,
but
that
your
earnest
care
for
us
might
be
made
manifest
unto
you
in
the
sight
of
God.
\VS{13}Therefore
we
have
been
comforted:
and
in
our
comfort
we
joyed
the
more
exceedingly
for
the
joy
of
Titus,
because
his
spirit
hath
been
refreshed
by
you
all.
\VS{14}For
if
in
anything
I
have gloried
to
him
on
your
behalf,
I
was
not
put
to
shame;
but
as
we
spake
all
things
to
you
in
truth,
so
our
glorying
also,
which
I
made
before
Titus,
was
found
to
be
truth.
\VS{15}And
his
inward
affection
is
more
abundantly
toward
you,
whilst
he
remembereth
the
obedience
of
you
all,
how
with
fear
and
trembling
ye
received
him.
\VS{16}I
rejoice
that
in
everything
I
am
of
good
courage
concerning
you.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Moreover,
brethren,
we
make
known
to
you
the
grace
of
God
which
hath
been
given
in
the
churches
of
Macedonia;
\VS{2}how
that
in
much
proof
of
affliction
the
abundance
of
their
joy
and
their
deep
poverty
abounded
unto
the
riches
of
their liberality.
\VS{3}For
according
to
their
power,
I
bear
witness,
yea
and
beyond
their
power,
{\ADD{
they
gave
}}of
their
own
accord,
\VS{4}beseeching
us
with
much
entreaty
in
regard
of
this
grace
and
the
fellowship
in
the
ministering
to
the
saints:
\VS{5}and
{\ADD{
this}},
not
as
we
had
hoped,
but
first
they
gave
their
own
selves
to
the
Lord,
and
to
us
by
the
will
of
God.
\VS{6}Insomuch
that
we
exhorted
Titus,
that
as
he
had
made
a
beginning
before,
so
he
would
also
complete
in
you
this
grace
also.
\VS{7}But
as
ye
abound
in
everything,
{\ADD{
in
}}faith,
and
utterance,
and
knowledge,
and
{\ADD{
in
}}all
earnestness,
and
{\ADD{
in
}}your
love
to
us,
{\ADD{
see
}}that
ye
abound
in
this
grace
also.
\VS{8}I
speak
not
by
way
of
commandment,
but
as
proving
through
the
earnestness
of
others
the
sincerity
also
of
your
love.
\VS{9}For
ye
know
the
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that,
though
he
was
rich,
yet
for
your
sakes
he
became
poor,
that
ye
through
his
poverty
might
become
rich.
\VS{10}And
herein
I
give
{\ADD{
my
}}judgment:
for
this
is
expedient
for
you,
who
were
the
first
to
make
a
beginning
a
year
ago,
not
only
to
do,
but
also
to
will.
\VS{11}But
now
complete
the
doing
also;
that
as
{\ADD{
there
was
}}the
readiness
to
will,
so
{\ADD{
there
may
be
}}the
completion
also
out
of
your
ability.
\VS{12}For
if
the
readiness
is
there,
{\ADD{
it
is
}}acceptable
according
as
{\ADD{
a
man
}}hath,
not
according
as
{\ADD{
he
}}hath
not.
\VS{13}For
{\ADD{
I
say
}}not
{\ADD{
this}},
that
others
may
be
eased,
{\ADD{
and
}}ye
distressed:
\VS{14}but
by
equality;
your
abundance
{\ADD{
being
a
supply
}}at
this
present
time
for
their
want,
that
their
abundance
also
may
become
{\ADD{
a
supply
}}for
your
want;
that
there
may
be
equality:
\VS{15}as
it
is
written,
He
that
{\ADD{
gathered
}}much
had
nothing
over;
and
he
that
{\ADD{
gathered
}}little
had
no
lack.
\VS{16}But
thanks
be
to
God,
which
putteth
the
same
earnest
care
for
you
into
the
heart
of
Titus.
\VS{17}For
indeed
he
accepted
our
exhortation;
but
being
himself
very
earnest,
he
went
forth
unto
you
of
his
own
accord.
\VS{18}And
we
have
sent
together
with
him
the
brother
whose
praise
in
the
gospel
{\ADD{
is
spread
}}through
all
the
churches;
\VS{19}and
not
only
so,
but
who
was
also
appointed
by
the
churches
to
travel
with
us
in
{\ADD{
the
matter
of
}}this
grace,
which
is
ministered
by
us
to
the
glory
of
the
Lord,
and
{\ADD{
to
shew
}}our
readiness:
\VS{20}Avoiding
this,
that
any
man
should
blame
us
in
{\ADD{
the
matter
of
}}this
bounty
which
is
ministered
by
us:
\VS{21}for
we
take
thought
for
things
honourable,
not
only
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
but
also
in
the
sight
of
men.
\VS{22}And
we
have
sent
with
them
our
brother,
whom
we
have
many
times
proved
earnest
in
many
things,
but
now
much
more
earnest,
by
reason
of
the
great
confidence
which
{\ADD{
he
hath
}}in
you.
\VS{23}Whether
{\ADD{
any
inquire
}}about
Titus,
{\ADD{
he
is
}}my
partner
and
{\ADD{
my
}}fellow-worker
to you-ward;
or
our
brethren,
{\ADD{
they
are
}}the
messengers
of
the
churches,
{\ADD{
they
are
}}the
glory
of
Christ.
\VS{24}Shew
ye
therefore
unto
them
in
the
face
of
the
churches
the
proof
of
your
love,
and
of
our
glorying
on
your
behalf.

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}For
as
touching
the
ministering
to
the
saints,
it
is
superfluous
for
me
to
write
to
you:
\VS{2}for
I
know
your
readiness,
of
which
I
glory
on
your
behalf
to
them
of
Macedonia,
that Achaia
hath
been
prepared
for
a
year
past;
and
your
zeal
hath
stirred
up
very
many
of
them.
\VS{3}But
I
have
sent
the
brethren,
that
our
glorying
on
your
behalf
may
not
be
made
void
in
this
respect;
that,
even
as
I
said,
ye
may
be
prepared:
\VS{4}lest
by
any
means,
if
there
come
with
me
any
of
Macedonia,
and
find
you unprepared,
we (that
we
say
not,
ye)
should
be
put
to
shame
in
this
confidence.
\VS{5}I
thought
it
necessary
therefore
to
entreat
the
brethren,
that
they
would
go
before
unto
you,
and
make
up
beforehand
your aforepromised
bounty,
that
the
same
might
be
ready,
as
a
matter
of
bounty,
and
not
of
extortion.
\VS{6}But
this
{\ADD{
I
say}},
He
that
soweth
sparingly
shall
reap
also
sparingly;
and
he
that
soweth
bountifully
shall
reap
also
bountifully.
\VS{7}{\ADD{
Let
}}each
man
{\ADD{
do
}}according
as
he
hath
purposed
in
his
heart;
not
grudgingly,
or
of necessity:
for
God
loveth
a
cheerful
giver.
\VS{8}And
God
is
able
to
make
all
grace
abound
unto
you;
that
ye,
having
always
all
sufficiency
in
everything,
may
abound
unto
every
good
work:
\VS{9}as
it
is
written,
He
hath
scattered
abroad,
he
hath
given
to
the
poor;
His
righteousness
abideth
for
ever.
\VS{10}And
he
that supplieth
seed
to
the
sower
and
bread
for
food,
shall
supply
and
multiply
your
seed
for
sowing,
and
increase
the
fruits
of
your
righteousness:
\VS{11}ye
being
enriched
in
everything
unto
all liberality,
which
worketh
through
us
thanksgiving
to
God.
\VS{12}For
the
ministration
of
this
service
not
only
filleth
up
the
measure
of
the
wants
of
the
saints,
but
aboundeth
also
through
many
thanksgivings
unto
God;
\VS{13}seeing
that
through
the proving
{\ADD{
of
you
}}by
this
ministration
they
glorify
God
for
the
obedience
of
your
confession
unto
the
gospel
of
Christ,
and
for
the liberality
of
{\ADD{
your
}}contribution
unto
them
and
unto
all;
\VS{14}while
they
themselves
also,
with
supplication
on
your
behalf,
long
after
you
by
reason
of
the
exceeding
grace
of
God
in
you.
\VS{15}Thanks
be
to
God
for
his unspeakable
gift.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
I
Paul
myself
entreat
you
by
the
meekness
and
gentleness
of
Christ,
I
who
in
your
presence
am
lowly
among
you,
but
being
absent
am
of
good
courage
toward
you:
\VS{2}yea,
I
beseech
you,
that
I
may
not
when
present
shew
courage
with
the
confidence
wherewith
I
count
to
be
bold
against
some,
which
count
of
us
as
if
we
walked
according
to
the
flesh.
\VS{3}For
though
we
walk
in
the
flesh,
we
do
not
war
according
to
the
flesh
\VS{4}(for
the
weapons
of
our
warfare
are
not
of
the
flesh,
but
mighty
before
God
to
the
casting
down
of
strong
holds);
\VS{5}casting
down
imaginations,
and
every
high
thing
that
is
exalted
against
the
knowledge
of
God,
and
bringing
every
thought
into
captivity
to
the
obedience
of
Christ;
\VS{6}and
being
in
readiness
to
avenge
all
disobedience,
when
your
obedience
shall
be
fulfilled.
\VS{7}Ye
look
at
the
things
that
are
before
your
face.
If
any
man
trusteth
in
himself
that
he
is
Christ’s,
let
him
consider
this
again
with
himself,
that,
even
as
he
is
Christ’s,
so
also
are
we.
\VS{8}For
though
I
should
glory
somewhat
abundantly
concerning
our
authority (which
the
Lord
gave
for
building
you
up,
and
not
for
casting
you
down),
I
shall
not
be
put
to
shame:
\VS{9}that
I
may
not
seem
as
if
I
would
terrify
you
by
my
letters.
\VS{10}For,
His
letters,
they
say,
are
weighty
and
strong;
but
his
bodily
presence
is
weak,
and
his
speech
of
no
account.
\VS{11}Let
such
a
one
reckon
this,
that,
what
we
are
in
word
by
letters
when
we
are
absent,
such
{\ADD{
are
we
}}also
in
deed
when
we
are
present.
\VS{12}For
we
are
not
bold
to
number
or
compare
ourselves
with
certain
of
them
that
commend
themselves:
but
they
themselves,
measuring
themselves
by
themselves,
and
comparing
themselves
with
themselves,
are
without
understanding.
\VS{13}But
we
will
not
glory
beyond
{\ADD{
our
}}measure,
but
according
to
the
measure
of
the
province
which
God
apportioned
to
us
as
a
measure,
to
reach
even
unto
you.
\VS{14}For
we
stretch
not
ourselves overmuch,
as
though
we
reached
not
unto
you:
for
we
came
even
as
far
as
unto
you
in
the
gospel
of

\VS{15}not
glorying
beyond
{\ADD{
our
}}measure,
{\ADD{
that
is}},
in
other
men’s
labours;
but
having
hope
that,
as
your
faith
groweth,
we
shall
be
magnified
in
you
according
to
our
province
unto
{\ADD{
further
}}abundance,
\VS{16}so
as
to
preach
the
gospel
even
unto
the
parts
beyond
you,
{\ADD{
and
}}not
to
glory
in
another’s
province
in
regard
of
things
ready
to
our
hand.
\VS{17}But
he
that
glorieth,
let
him
glory
in
the
Lord.
\VS{18}For
not
he
that
commendeth
himself
is
approved,
but
whom
the
Lord
commendeth.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Would
that

with

in

jealous
over

{\ADD{
him}}.
\VS{5}For
I
reckon
that
I
am
not
a
whit
behind
the
very
chiefest apostles.
\VS{6}But
though
{\ADD{
I
be
}}rude
in
speech,
yet
{\ADD{
am
I
}}not
in
knowledge;
nay,
in
everything
we
have
made
{\ADD{
it
}}manifest
among
all
men
to you-ward.
\VS{7}Or
did
I
commit
a
sin
in
abasing
myself
that
ye
might
be
exalted,
because
I
preached
to
you
the
gospel
of
God
for
nought?
\VS{8}I
robbed
other
churches,
taking
wages
{\ADD{
of
them
}}that
I
might
minister
unto
you;
\VS{9}and
when
I
was
present
with
you
and
was
in
want,
I
was
not
a
burden
on
any
man;
for
the
brethren,
when
they
came
from
Macedonia,
supplied
the
measure
of
my
want;
and
in
everything
I
kept
myself
from
being
burdensome
unto
you,
and
{\ADD{
so
}}will
I
keep
{\ADD{
myself}}.
\VS{10}As
the
truth
of
Christ
is
in
me,
no
man
shall
stop
me
of
this
glorying
in
the
regions
of Achaia.
\VS{11}Wherefore?
because
I
love
you
not?
God
knoweth.
\VS{12}But
what
I
do,
that
I
will
do,
that
I
may
cut
off
occasion
from
them
which
desire
an
occasion;
that
wherein
they
glory,
they
may
be
found
even
as
we.
\VS{13}For
such
men
are
false
apostles,
deceitful
workers,
fashioning
themselves
into
apostles
of
Christ.
\VS{14}And
no
marvel;
for
even
Satan
fashioneth
himself
into
an
angel
of
light.
\VS{15}It
is
no
great
thing
therefore
if
his
ministers
also
fashion
themselves
as
ministers
of
righteousness;
whose
end
shall
be
according
to
their
works.
\VS{16}I
say
again,
Let
no
man
think
me
foolish;
but
if
{\ADD{
ye
do}},
yet
as
foolish
receive
me,
that
I
also
may
glory
a
little.
\VS{17}That
which
I
speak,
I
speak
not
after
the
Lord,
but
as
in
foolishness,
in
this
confidence
of
glorying.
\VS{18}Seeing
that
many
glory
after
the
flesh,
I
will
glory
also.
\VS{19}For
ye
bear
with
the
foolish
gladly,
being
wise
{\ADD{
yourselves}}.
\VS{20}For
ye
bear
with
a
man,
if
he
bringeth
you
into
bondage,
if
he
devoureth
you,
if
he
taketh
you
{\ADD{
captive}},
if
he
exalteth
himself,
if
he
smiteth
you
on
the
face.
\VS{21}I
speak
by
way
of disparagement,
as
though
we
had
been
weak.
Yet
whereinsoever
any
is
bold (I
speak
in
foolishness),
I
am
bold
also.
\VS{22}Are
they
Hebrews?
so
am
I.
Are
they
Israelites?
so
am
I.
Are
they
the
seed
of
Abraham?
so
am
I.
\VS{23}Are
they
ministers
of
Christ? (I
speak
as
one
beside
himself)
I
more;
in
labours
more
abundantly,
in
prisons
more
abundantly,
in
stripes
above
measure,
in
deaths
oft.
\VS{24}Of
the
Jews
five
times
received
I
forty
{\ADD{
stripes
}}save
one.
\VS{25}Thrice
was
I
beaten
with
rods,
once
was
I
stoned,
thrice
I
suffered
shipwreck,
a
night
and
a
day
have
I
been
in
the
deep;
\VS{26}{\ADD{
in
}}journeyings
often,
{\ADD{
in
}}perils
of
rivers,
{\ADD{
in
}}perils
of
robbers,
{\ADD{
in
}}perils
from
{\ADD{
my
}}countrymen,
{\ADD{
in
}}perils
from
the
Gentiles,
{\ADD{
in
}}perils
in
the
city,
{\ADD{
in
}}perils
in
the
wilderness,
{\ADD{
in
}}perils
in
the
sea,
{\ADD{
in
}}perils
among
false
brethren;
\VS{27}{\ADD{
in
}}labour
and
travail,
in watchings
often,
in
hunger
and
thirst,
in
fastings
often,
in
cold
and
nakedness.
\VS{28}Beside
those
things
that
are
without,
there
is
that
which presseth
upon
me
daily,
anxiety
for
all
the
churches.
\VS{29}Who
is
weak,
and
I
am
not
weak?
who
is
made
to
stumble,
and
I
burn
not?
\VS{30}If
I
must
needs
glory,
I
will
glory
of
the
things
that
concern
my
weakness.
\VS{31}The
God
and
Father
of
the
Lord
Jesus,
he
who
is
blessed
for
evermore,
knoweth
that
I
lie
not.
\VS{32}In
Damascus
the
governor
under Aretas
the
king
guarded
the
city
of
the
Damascenes,
in
order
to
take
me:
\VS{33}and
through
a
window
was
I
let
down
in
a
basket
by
the
wall,
and
escaped
his
hands.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}I
must
needs
glory,
though
it
is
not
expedient;
but
I
will
come
to
visions
and revelations
of
the
Lord.
\VS{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.
\VS{3}And
I
know
such
a
man (whether
in
the
body,
or
apart
from
the
body,
I
know
not;
God
knoweth),
\VS{4}how
that
he
was
caught
up
into
Paradise,
and
heard unspeakable
words,
which
it
is
not
lawful
for
a
man
to
utter.
\VS{5}On
behalf
of
such
a
one
will
I
glory:
but
on
mine
own
behalf
I
will
not
glory,
save
in
{\ADD{
my
}}weaknesses.
\VS{6}For
if
I
should
desire
to
glory,
I
shall
not
be
foolish;
for
I
shall
speak
the
truth:
but
I
forbear,
lest
any
man
should
account
of
me
above
that
which
he
seeth
me
{\ADD{
to
be}},
or
heareth
from
me.
\VS{7}And
by
reason
of
the
exceeding
greatness
of
the revelations—wherefore,
that
I
should
not
be
exalted overmuch,
there
was
given
to
me
a
thorn
in
the
flesh,
a
messenger
of
Satan
to
buffet
me,
that
I
should
not
be
exalted overmuch.
\VS{8}Concerning
this
thing
I
besought
the
Lord
thrice,
that
it
might
depart
from
me.
\VS{9}And
he
hath
said
unto
me,
My
grace
is
sufficient
for
thee:
for
{\ADD{
my
}}power
is
made
perfect
in
weakness.
Most
gladly
therefore
will
I
rather
glory
in
my weaknesses,
that
the
power
of
Christ
may
rest
upon
me.
\VS{10}Wherefore
I
take
pleasure
in weaknesses,
in injuries,
in necessities,
in
persecutions,
in
distresses,
for
Christ’s
sake:
for
when
I
am
weak,
then
am
I
strong.
\VS{11}I
am
become
foolish:
ye
compelled
me;
for
I
ought
to
have
been
commended
of
you:
for
in
nothing
was
I
behind
the
very
chiefest apostles,
though
I
am
nothing.
\VS{12}Truly
the
signs
of
an apostle
were
wrought
among
you
in
all
patience,
by
signs
and
wonders
and
mighty
works.
\VS{13}For
what
is
there
wherein
ye
were
made
inferior
to
the
rest
of
the
churches,
except
{\ADD{
it
be
}}that
I
myself
was
not
a
burden
to
you?
forgive
me
this
wrong.
\VS{14}Behold,
this
is
the
third
time
I
am
ready
to
come
to
you;
and
I
will
not
be
a
burden
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.
\VS{15}And
I
will
most
gladly
spend
and
be
spent
for
your
souls.
If
I
love
you
more
abundantly,
am
I
loved
the
less?
\VS{16}But
be
it
so,
I
did
not
myself
burden
you;
but,
being
crafty,
I
caught
you
with
guile.
\VS{17}Did
I
take
advantage
of
you
by
any
one
of
them
whom
I
have
sent
unto
you?
\VS{18}I
exhorted
Titus,
and
I
sent
the
brother
with
him.
Did
Titus
take
any
advantage
of
you?
walked
we
not
by
the
same
Spirit?
{\ADD{
walked
we
}}not
in
the
same
steps?
\VS{19}Ye
think
all
this
time
that
we
are excusing
ourselves
unto
you.
In
the
sight
of
God
speak
we
in
Christ.
But
all
things,
beloved,
{\ADD{
are
}}for
your
edifying.
\VS{20}For
I
fear,
lest
by
any
means,
when
I
come,
I
should
find
you
not
such
as
I
would,
and
should
myself
be
found
of
you
such
as
ye
would
not;
lest
by
any
means
{\ADD{
there
should
be
}}strife,
jealousy,
wraths, factions,
backbitings,
whisperings,
swellings,
tumults;
\VS{21}lest,
when
I
come
again,
my
God
should
humble
me
before
you,
and
I
should
mourn
for
many
of
them
that
have
sinned
heretofore,
and
repented
not
of
the
uncleanness
and
fornication
and lasciviousness
which
they
committed.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}This
is
the
third
time
I
am
coming
to
you.
At
the
mouth
of
two
witnesses
or
three
shall
every
word
be
established.
\VS{2}I
have
said
beforehand,
and
I
do
say
beforehand,
as
when
I
was
present
the
second
time,
so
now,
being
absent,
to
them
that
have
sinned
heretofore,
and
to
all
the
rest,
that,
if
I
come
again,
I
will
not
spare;
\VS{3}seeing
that
ye
seek
a
proof
of
Christ
that
speaketh
in
me;
who
to you-ward
is
not
weak,
but
is
powerful
in
you:
\VS{4}for
he
was
crucified
through
weakness,
yet
he
liveth
through
the
power
of
God.
For
we
also
are
weak
in
him,
but
we
shall
live
with
him
through
the
power
of
God
toward
you.
\VS{5}Try
your
own
selves,
whether
ye
be
in
the
faith;
prove
your
own
selves.
Or
know
ye
not
as
to
your
own
selves,
that
Jesus
Christ
is
in
you?
unless
indeed
ye
be
reprobate.
\VS{6}But
I
hope
that
ye
shall
know
that
we
are
not
reprobate.
\VS{7}Now
we
pray
to
God
that
ye
do
no
evil;
not
that
we
may
appear
approved,
but
that
ye
may
do
that
which
is
honourable,
though
we
be
as
reprobate.
\VS{8}For
we
can
do
nothing
against
the
truth,
but
for
the
truth.
\VS{9}For
we
rejoice,
when
we
are
weak,
and
ye
are
strong:
this
we
also
pray
for,
even
your perfecting.
\VS{10}For
this
cause
I
write
these
things
while
absent,
that
I
may
not
when
present
deal
sharply,
according
to
the
authority
which
the
Lord
gave
me
for
building
up,
and
not
for
casting
down.
\VS{11}Finally,
brethren,
farewell.
Be
perfected;
be
comforted;
be
of
the
same
mind;
live
in
peace:
and
the
God
of
love
and
peace
shall
be
with
you.
\VS{12}Salute
one
another
with
a
holy
kiss.
\VS{13}All
the
saints
salute
you.
\VS{14}The
grace
of
the
Lord Jesus Christ,
and
the
love
of
God,
and
the communion
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
be
with
you
all.
