ὅτι

For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.

For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.

For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.

Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold,(I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

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

How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
