+Book 47        2 Corinthians
+
+47:001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and
+           Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at
+           Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
+
+47:001:002 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the
+           Lord Jesus Christ.
+
+47:001:003 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
+           Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
+
+47:001:004 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able
+           to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort
+           wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
+
+47:001:005 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our
+           consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
+
+47:001:006 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and
+           salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same
+           sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted,
+           it is for your consolation and salvation.
+
+47:001:007 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are
+           partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the
+           consolation.
+
+47:001:008 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble
+           which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure,
+           above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
+
+47:001:009 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should
+           not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
+
+47:001:010 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in
+           whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
+
+47:001:011 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift
+           bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be
+           given by many on our behalf.
+
+47:001:012 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience,
+           that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly
+           wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation
+           in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
+
+47:001:013 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or
+           acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
+
+47:001:014 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your
+           rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord
+           Jesus.
+
+47:001:015 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before,
+           that ye might have a second benefit;
+
+47:001:016 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of
+           Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward
+           Judaea.
+
+47:001:017 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the
+           things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh,
+           that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
+
+47:001:018 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
+
+47:001:019 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you
+           by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and
+           nay, but in him was yea.
+
+47:001:020 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen,
+           unto the glory of God by us.
+
+47:001:021 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath
+           anointed us, is God;
+
+47:001:022 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit
+           in our hearts.
+
+47:001:023 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare
+           you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
+
+47:001:024 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers
+           of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
+
+47:002:001 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again
+           to you in heaviness.
+
+47:002:002 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad,
+           but the same which is made sorry by me?
+
+47:002:003 And I wrote this same unto you, 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 the joy of you all.
+
+47:002:004 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto
+           you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that
+           ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
+
+47:002:005 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in
+           part: that I may not overcharge you all.
+
+47:002:006 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was
+           inflicted of many.
+
+47:002:007 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and
+           comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up
+           with overmuch sorrow.
+
+47:002:008 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward
+           him.
+
+47:002:009 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof
+           of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
+
+47:002:010 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave
+           any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it
+           in the person of Christ;
+
+47:002:011 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not
+           ignorant of his devices.
+
+47:002:012 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel,
+           and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
+
+47:002:013 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my
+           brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into
+           Macedonia.
+
+47:002:014 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in
+           Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us
+           in every place.
+
+47:002:015 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are
+           saved, and in them that perish:
+
+47:002:016 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the
+           other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for
+           these things?
+
+47:002:017 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as
+           of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in
+           Christ.
+
+47:003:001 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some
+           others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of
+           commendation from you?
+
+47:003:002 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of
+           all men:
+
+47:003:003 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the 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
+           fleshy tables of the heart.
+
+47:003:004 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
+
+47:003:005 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as
+           of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
+
+47:003:006 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not
+           of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but
+           the spirit giveth life.
+
+47:003:007 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in
+           stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not
+           stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his
+           countenance; which glory was to be done away:
+
+47:003:008 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather
+           glorious?
+
+47:003:009 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more
+           doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
+
+47:003:010 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this
+           respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
+
+47:003:011 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that
+           which remaineth is glorious.
+
+47:003:012 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of
+           speech:
+
+47:003:013 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the
+           children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of
+           that which is abolished:
+
+47:003:014 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the
+           same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament;
+           which vail is done away in Christ.
+
+47:003:015 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon
+           their heart.
+
+47:003:016 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be
+           taken away.
+
+47:003:017 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord
+           is, there is liberty.
+
+47:003:018 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory
+           of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to
+           glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
+
+47:004:001 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received
+           mercy, we faint not;
+
+47:004:002 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not
+           walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God
+           deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending
+           ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
+
+47:004:003 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
+
+47:004:004 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them
+           which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of
+           Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
+
+47:004:005 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and
+           ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
+
+47:004:006 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
+           hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge
+           of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
+
+47:004:007 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
+           excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
+
+47:004:008 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are
+           perplexed, but not in despair;
+
+47:004:009 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
+
+47:004:010 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,
+           that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our
+           body.
+
+47:004:011 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus'
+           sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in
+           our mortal flesh.
+
+47:004:012 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
+
+47:004:013 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is
+           written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also
+           believe, and therefore speak;
+
+47:004:014 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up
+           us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
+
+47:004:015 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace
+           might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of
+           God.
+
+47:004:016 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man
+           perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
+
+47:004:017 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh
+           for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
+
+47:004:018 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.
+
+47:005:001 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were
+           dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with
+           hands, eternal in the heavens.
+
+47:005:002 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon
+           with our house which is from heaven:
+
+47:005:003 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
+
+47:005:004 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened:
+           not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that
+           mortality might be swallowed up of life.
+
+47:005:005 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who
+           also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
+
+47:005:006 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are
+           at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
+
+47:005:007 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
+
+47:005:008 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from
+           the body, and to be present with the Lord.
+
+47:005:009 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may
+           be accepted of him.
+
+47:005:010 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
+           that every one may receive the things done in his body,
+           according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
+
+47:005:011 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.
+
+47:005:012 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you
+           occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to
+           answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
+
+47:005:013 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether
+           we be sober, it is for your cause.
+
+47:005:014 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge,
+           that if one died for all, then were all dead:
+
+47:005:015 And that he died for all, that they which live should not
+           henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for
+           them, and rose again.
+
+47:005:016 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea,
+           though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now
+           henceforth know we him no more.
+
+47:005:017 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
+           things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
+
+47:005:018 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself
+           by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
+           reconciliation;
+
+47:005:019 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
+           himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
+           committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
+
+47:005:020 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did
+           beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye
+           reconciled to God.
+
+47:005:021 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that
+           we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
+
+47:006:001 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that
+           ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
+
+47:006:002 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in
+           the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the
+           accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
+
+47:006:003 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not
+           blamed:
+
+47:006:004 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God,
+           in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in
+           distresses,
+
+47:006:005 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in
+           watchings, in fastings;
+
+47:006:006 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by
+           the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
+
+47:006:007 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of
+           righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
+
+47:006:008 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as
+           deceivers, and yet true;
+
+47:006:009 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we
+           live; as chastened, and not killed;
+
+47:006:010 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many
+           rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
+
+47:006:011 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is
+           enlarged.
+
+47:006:012 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own
+           bowels.
+
+47:006:013 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my
+           children,) be ye also enlarged.
+
+47:006:014 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what
+           fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
+           communion hath light with darkness?
+
+47:006:015 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he
+           that believeth with an infidel?
+
+47:006:016 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye
+           are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will
+           dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and
+           they shall be my people.
+
+47:006:017 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith
+           the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
+           you.
+
+47:006:018 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
+           daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
+
+47:007:001 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us
+           cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,
+           perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
+
+47:007:002 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man,
+           we have defrauded no man.
+
+47:007:003 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that
+           ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
+
+47:007:004 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my
+           glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding
+           joyful in all our tribulation.
+
+47:007:005 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest,
+           but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings,
+           within were fears.
+
+47:007:006 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down,
+           comforted us by the coming of Titus;
+
+47:007:007 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith
+           he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire,
+           your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced
+           the more.
+
+47:007:008 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent,
+           though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath
+           made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
+
+47:007:009 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye
+           sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly
+           manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
+
+47:007:010 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be
+           repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
+
+47:007:011 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly
+           sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing
+           of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea,
+           what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In
+           all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this
+           matter.
+
+47:007:012 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause
+           that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered
+           wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might
+           appear unto you.
+
+47:007:013 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and
+           exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because
+           his spirit was refreshed by you all.
+
+47:007:014 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not
+           ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so
+           our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
+
+47:007:015 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst
+           he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and
+           trembling ye received him.
+
+47:007:016 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all
+           things.
+
+47:008:001 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God
+           bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
+
+47:008:002 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their
+           joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their
+           liberality.
+
+47:008:003 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power
+           they were willing of themselves;
+
+47:008:004 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift,
+           and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the
+           saints.
+
+47:008:005 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.
+
+47:008:006 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he
+           would also finish in you the same grace also.
+
+47:008:007 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and
+           utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your
+           love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
+
+47:008:008 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness
+           of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
+
+47:008:009 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.
+
+47:008:010 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you,
+           who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward
+           a year ago.
+
+47:008:011 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a
+           readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of
+           that which ye have.
+
+47:008:012 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according
+           to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
+
+47:008:013 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
+
+47:008:014 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may
+           be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a
+           supply for your want: that there may be equality:
+
+47:008:015 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over;
+           and he that had gathered little had no lack.
+
+47:008:016 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the
+           heart of Titus for you.
+
+47:008:017 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more
+           forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
+
+47:008:018 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the
+           gospel throughout all the churches;
+
+47:008:019 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:
+
+47:008:020 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance
+           which is administered by us:
+
+47:008:021 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the
+           Lord, but also in the sight of men.
+
+47:008:022 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have
+           oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more
+           diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
+
+47:008:023 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and
+           fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of,
+           they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of
+           Christ.
+
+47:008:024 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof
+           of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
+
+47:009:001 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is
+           superfluous for me to write to you:
+
+47:009:002 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.
+
+47:009:003 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should
+           be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
+
+47:009:004 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you
+           unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this
+           same confident boasting.
+
+47:009:005 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that
+           they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your
+           bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be
+           ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
+
+47:009:006 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also
+           sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also
+           bountifully.
+
+47:009:007 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him
+           give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a
+           cheerful giver.
+
+47:009:008 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye,
+           always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to
+           every good work:
+
+47:009:009 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to
+           the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
+
+47:009:010 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread
+           for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the
+           fruits of your righteousness;)
+
+47:009:011 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which
+           causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
+
+47:009:012 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the
+           want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings
+           unto God;
+
+47:009:013 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God
+           for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and
+           for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
+
+47:009:014 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the
+           exceeding grace of God in you.
+
+47:009:015 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
+
+47:010:001 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness
+           of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent
+           am bold toward you:
+
+47:010:002 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present
+           with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against
+           some, which think of us as if we walked according to the
+           flesh.
+
+47:010:003 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the
+           flesh:
+
+47:010:004 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty
+           through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
+
+47:010:005 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth
+           itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into
+           captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
+
+47:010:006 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when
+           your obedience is fulfilled.
+
+47:010:007 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.
+
+47:010:008 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:
+
+47:010:009 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
+
+47:010:010 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his
+           bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
+
+47:010:011 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.
+
+47:010:012 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare
+           ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they
+           measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves
+           among themselves, are not wise.
+
+47:010:013 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but
+           according to the measure of the rule which God hath
+           distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
+
+47:010:014 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we
+           reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in
+           preaching the gospel of Christ:
+
+47:010:015 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other
+           men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased,
+           that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule
+           abundantly,
+
+47:010:016 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to
+           boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
+
+47:010:017 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
+
+47:010:018 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the
+           Lord commendeth.
+
+47:011:001 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and
+           indeed bear with me.
+
+47:011:002 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have
+           espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a
+           chaste virgin to Christ.
+
+47:011:003 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
+           through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from
+           the simplicity that is in Christ.
+
+47:011:004 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have
+           not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have
+           not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted,
+           ye might well bear with him.
+
+47:011:005 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest
+           apostles.
+
+47:011:006 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we
+           have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
+
+47:011:007 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be
+           exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God
+           freely?
+
+47:011:008 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you
+           service.
+
+47:011:009 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable
+           to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which
+           came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept
+           myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep
+           myself.
+
+47:011:010 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this
+           boasting in the regions of Achaia.
+
+47:011:011 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
+
+47:011:012 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion
+           from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they
+           may be found even as we.
+
+47:011:013 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming
+           themselves into the apostles of Christ.
+
+47:011:014 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel
+           of light.
+
+47:011:015 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be
+           transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall
+           be according to their works.
+
+47:011:016 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as
+           a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
+
+47:011:017 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it
+           were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
+
+47:011:018 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
+
+47:011:019 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
+
+47:011:020 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man
+           devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a
+           man smite you on the face.
+
+47:011:021 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak.
+           Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am
+           bold also.
+
+47:011:022 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are
+           they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
+
+47:011:023 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more;
+           in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons
+           more frequent, in deaths oft.
+
+47:011:024 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
+
+47:011:025 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I
+           suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
+
+47:011:026 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of
+           robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the
+           heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness,
+           in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
+
+47:011:027 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger
+           and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
+
+47:011:028 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon
+           me daily, the care of all the churches.
+
+47:011:029 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn
+           not?
+
+47:011:030 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which
+           concern mine infirmities.
+
+47:011:031 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed
+           for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
+
+47:011:032 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city
+           of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
+
+47:011:033 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall,
+           and escaped his hands.
+
+47:012:001 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to
+           visions and revelations of the Lord.
+
+47:012:002 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in
+           the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot
+           tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
+
+47:012:003 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the
+           body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
+
+47:012:004 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable
+           words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
+
+47:012:005 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory,
+           but in mine infirmities.
+
+47:012:006 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for
+           I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should
+           think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he
+           heareth of me.
+
+47:012:007 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the
+           abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in
+           the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should
+           be exalted above measure.
+
+47:012:008 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might
+           depart from me.
+
+47:012:009 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my
+           strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore
+           will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of
+           Christ may rest upon me.
+
+47:012:010 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in
+           necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:
+           for when I am weak, then am I strong.
+
+47:012:011 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I
+           ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I
+           behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
+
+47:012:012 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all
+           patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
+
+47:012:013 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.
+
+47:012:014 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will
+           not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for
+           the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the
+           parents for the children.
+
+47:012:015 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the
+           more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
+
+47:012:016 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being
+           crafty, I caught you with guile.
+
+47:012:017 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
+
+47:012:018 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make
+           a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not
+           in the same steps?
+
+47:012:019 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.
+
+47:012:020 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I
+           would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would
+           not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes,
+           backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
+
+47:012:021 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you,
+           and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and
+           have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and
+           lasciviousness which they have committed.
+
+47:013:001 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two
+           or three witnesses shall every word be established.
+
+47:013:002 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:
+
+47:013:003 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to
+           you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
+
+47:013:004 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by
+           the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall
+           live with him by the power of God toward you.
+
+47:013:005 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?
+
+47:013:006 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
+
+47:013:007 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should
+           appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest,
+           though we be as reprobates.
+
+47:013:008 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
+
+47:013:009 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this
+           also we wish, even your perfection.
+
+47:013:010 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.
+
+47:013:011 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort,
+           be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace
+           shall be with you.
+
+47:013:012 Greet one another with an holy kiss.
+
+47:013:013 All the saints salute you.
+
+47:013:014 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and
+           the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

+
+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:
+https://gutenberg.org or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.

+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart

+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.

+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
