+  <chapter no='1'>
+    <verse no='1'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the  Lord Jesus Christ.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our  consolation also aboundeth by Christ.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are  partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we  should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in  whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read  or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before,  that ye might have a second benefit;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>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?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen,  unto the glory of God by us.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath  anointed us, is God;</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit  in our hearts.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare  you I came not as yet unto Corinth.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are  helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>But I determined this with myself, that I would not come  again to you in heaviness.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad,  but the same which is made sorry by me?</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in  part: that I may not overcharge you all.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was  inflicted of many.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and  comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with  overmuch sorrow.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love  toward him.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>For to this end also did I write, that I might know the  proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not  ignorant of his devices.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel,  and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that  are saved, and in them that perish:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>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?</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some  others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation  from you?</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of  all men:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing  as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather  glorious?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more  doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this  respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that  which remaineth is glorious.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness  of speech:</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon  their heart.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall  be taken away.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the  Lord is, there is liberty.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='4'>
+    <verse no='1'>Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received  mercy, we faint not;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and  ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the  excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are  perplexed, but not in despair;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>So then death worketh in us, but life in you.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise  up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace  might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man  perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh  for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='5'>
+    <verse no='1'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon  with our house which is from heaven:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God,  who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we  are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent  from the body, and to be present with the Lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may  be accepted of him.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether  we be sober, it is for your cause.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus  judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old  things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself  by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='6'>
+    <verse no='1'>We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that  ye receive not the grace of God in vain.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>(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.)</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not  blamed:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of  God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in  watchings, in fastings;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by  the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of  righteousness on the right hand and on the left,</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as  deceivers, and yet true;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we  live; as chastened, and not killed;</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many  rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is  enlarged.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your  own bowels.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my  children,) be ye also enlarged.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for  what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what  communion hath light with darkness?</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath  he that believeth with an infidel?</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,  saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive  you.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and  daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='7'>
+    <verse no='1'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no  man, we have defrauded no man.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before,  that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down,  comforted us by the coming of Titus;</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be  repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all  things.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='8'>
+    <verse no='1'>Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God  bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of  their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their  liberality.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their  power they were willing of themselves;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the  gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he  would also finish in you the same grace also.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the  forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 be rich.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing  over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into  the heart of Titus for you.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more  forward, of his own accord he went unto you.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in  the gospel throughout all the churches;</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance  which is administered by us:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the  Lord, but also in the sight of men.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the  proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='9'>
+    <verse no='1'>For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is  superfluous for me to write to you:</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also  sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him  give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given  to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>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;)</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which  causeth through us thanksgiving to God.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>For the administration of this service not only supplieth  the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto  God;</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the  exceeding grace of God in you.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='10'>
+    <verse no='1'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the  flesh:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty  through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when  your obedience is fulfilled.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his  bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>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,</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the  Lord commendeth.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='11'>
+    <verse no='1'>Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and  indeed bear with me.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest  apostles.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we  have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might  be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you  service.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of  this boasting in the regions of Achaia.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming  themselves into the apostles of Christ.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an  angel of light.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it  were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak.  Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are  they the seed of Abraham? so am I.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger  and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon  me daily, the care of all the churches.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn  not?</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which  concern mine infirmities.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is  blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city  of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall,  and escaped his hands.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='12'>
+    <verse no='1'>It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come  to visions and revelations of the Lord.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the  body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard  unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory,  but in mine infirmities.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might  depart from me.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all  patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though  the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being  crafty, I caught you with guile.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto  you?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>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?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='13'>
+    <verse no='1'>This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of  two or three witnesses shall every word be established.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to  you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>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?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and  this also we wish, even your perfection.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Greet one another with an holy kiss.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>All the saints salute you.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and  the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love  in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the  truth;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be  with us for ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father,  and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and  love.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in  truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new  commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that  we love one another.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This  is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye  should walk in it.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess  not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an  antichrist.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we  have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of  Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he  hath both the Father and the Son.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,  receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil  deeds.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with  paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face,  that our joy may be full.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.</verse>
