Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

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 be rich.

And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:

Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
