It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744+G1063. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}
I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 I knewG1492 suchG5108 a manG444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;)
How thatG3754 he was caught upG726 intoG1519 paradiseG3857, andG2532 heardG191 unspeakableG731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for a manG444 to utterG2980. {lawful: or, possible}
OfG5228 such an oneG5108 will I gloryG2744: yetG1161 ofG5228 myselfG1683 I willG2744 notG3756 gloryG2744, butG1508 inG1722 mineG3450 infirmitiesG769.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309 to gloryG2744, I shallG2071 notG3756 beG2071 a foolG878; forG1063 I will sayG2046 the truthG225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339, lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049 ofG1519 meG1691 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG991 meG3165 to be, orG2228 that he hearethG191 ofG5100+G1537 meG1700.
AndG2532 lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG5236 of the revelationsG602, there was givenG1325 to meG3427 a thornG4647 in the fleshG4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG3165, lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229.
ForG5228 this thingG5127 I besoughtG3870 the LordG2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG868 fromG575 meG1700.
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 amG1510 I strongG1415.
I am becomeG1096 a foolG878 in gloryingG2744; yeG5210 have compelledG315 meG3165: forG1063 IG1473 oughtG3784 to have been commendedG4921 ofG5259 youG5216: forG1063 in nothingG3762 am I behindG5302 the very chiefestG3029 apostlesG652+G5228, thoughG1499 I beG1510 nothingG3762.
TrulyG3303 the signsG4592 of an apostleG652 were wroughtG2716 amongG1722 youG5213 inG1722 allG3956 patienceG5281, inG1722 signsG4592, andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 mighty deedsG1411.
ForG1063 whatG5101 is itG2076 whereinG3739 ye were inferiorG2274 toG5228 otherG3062 churchesG1577, exceptG1508 it be thatG3754 IG1473 myselfG846 wasG2655 notG3756 burdensomeG2655 to youG5216? forgiveG5483 meG3427 thisG5026 wrongG93.
BeholdG2400, the third timeG5154 I amG2192 readyG2093 to comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209; andG2532 I willG2655 notG3756 be burdensomeG2655 to youG5216: forG1063 I seekG2212 notG3756 yoursG5216, butG235 youG5209: forG1063 the childrenG5043 oughtG3784 notG3756 to lay upG2343 for the parentsG1118, butG235 the parentsG1118 for the childrenG5043.
AndG1161 IG1473 will very gladlyG2236 spendG1159 andG2532 be spentG1550 forG5228 youG5590+G5216; thoughG1499 the more abundantlyG4056 I loveG25 youG5209, the lessG2276 I be lovedG25. {for you: Gr. for your souls}
ButG1161 be it soG2077, IG1473 didG2599 notG3756 burdenG2599 youG5209: neverthelessG235, beingG5225 craftyG3835, I caughtG2983 youG5209 with guileG1388.
Did I make a gainG4122+G3361 of youG5209 byG1223 anyG5100 of themG846 whomG3739 I sentG649 untoG4314 youG5209?
I desiredG3870 TitusG5103, andG2532 with him I sentG4882 a brotherG80. DidG4122+G3387 TitusG5103 make a gainG4122 of youG5209? walked weG4043 notG3756 in the sameG846 spiritG4151? walked we notG3756 in the sameG846 stepsG2487?
AgainG3825, think yeG1380 thatG3754 we excuse ourselvesG626 unto youG5213? we speakG2980 beforeG2714 GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547: butG1161 we do all thingsG3956, dearly belovedG27, forG5228 yourG5216 edifyingG3619.
ForG1063 I fearG5399, lestG3381+G4458, when I comeG2064, I shallG2147 notG3756 findG2147 youG5209 such asG3634 I wouldG2309, and that IG2504 shall be foundG2147 unto youG5213 such asG3634 ye wouldG2309 notG3756: lestG3381+G4458 there be debatesG2054, envyingsG2205, wrathsG2372, strifesG2052, backbitingsG2636, whisperingsG5587, swellingsG5450, tumultsG181:
And lestG3361, when I comeG2064 againG3825, myG3450 GodG2316 will humbleG5013 meG3165 amongG4314 youG5209, andG2532 that I shall bewailG3996 manyG4183 whichG3588 have sinned alreadyG4258, andG2532 haveG3340 notG3361 repentedG3340 ofG1909 the uncleannessG167 andG2532 fornicationG4202 andG2532 lasciviousnessG766 whichG3739 they have committedG4238.

FurthermoreG1161, when I cameG2064 toG1519 TroasG5174 toG1519 preach Christ'sG5547 gospelG2098, andG2532 a doorG2374 was openedG455 unto meG3427 ofG1722 the LordG2962,
InsomuchG1519 that weG2248 desiredG3870 TitusG5103, thatG2443 asG2531 he had begunG4278, soG3779 he wouldG2005 alsoG2532 finishG2005 inG1519 youG5209 the sameG5026 graceG5485 alsoG2532. {grace: or, gift}

And MosesH4872 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, RespectH6437 not thou their offeringH4503: I have not takenH5375 oneH259 assH2543 from them, neither have I hurtH7489 oneH259 of them.
I hadG2192 noG3756 restG425 in myG3450 spiritG4151, because IG3165 foundG2147 notG3361 TitusG5103 myG3450 brotherG80: butG235 taking my leaveG657 of themG846, I went from thenceG1831 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3109.
AndG1161 we have sentG4842 withG3326 himG846 the brotherG80, whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is inG1722 the gospelG2098 throughoutG1223 allG3956 the churchesG1577;
ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, whichG3588 putG1325 the sameG846 earnest careG4710 intoG1722 the heartG2588 of TitusG5103 forG5228 youG5216.
ForG3754 indeedG3303 he acceptedG1209 the exhortationG3874; butG1161 beingG5225 more forwardG4707, of his own accordG830 he wentG1831 untoG4314 youG5209.
AndG1161 we have sentG4842 withG3326 himG846 the brotherG80, whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is inG1722 the gospelG2098 throughoutG1223 allG3956 the churchesG1577;
AndG1161 notG3756 that onlyG3440, butG235 who wasG5500 alsoG2532 chosenG5500 ofG5259 the churchesG1577 to travelG4898 with usG2257 withG4862 thisG5026 graceG5485, whichG3588 is administeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257 toG4314 the gloryG1391 of the sameG846 LordG2962, andG2532 declaration of yourG5216 ready mindG4288: {grace: or, gift}
AvoidingG4724 thisG5124, that noG3361 manG5100 should blameG3469 usG2248 inG1722 thisG5026 abundanceG100 whichG3588 is administeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257:
ProvidingG4306 for honest thingsG2570, notG3756 onlyG3440 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, butG235 alsoG2532 in the sightG1799 of menG444.
AndG1161 we have sentG4842 with themG846 ourG2257 brotherG80, whomG3739 we haveG1381 oftentimesG4178 provedG1381+G5607 diligentG4705 inG1722 many thingsG4183, butG1161 nowG3570 muchG4183 more diligentG4707, upon the greatG4183 confidenceG4006 whichG3588 I have inG1519 youG5209. {I have: or, he hath}
WhetherG1535 any do enquire ofG5228 TitusG5103, he is myG1699 partnerG2844 andG2532 fellowhelperG4904 concerningG1519 youG5209: orG1535 ourG2257 brethrenG80 be enquired of, they are the messengersG652 of the churchesG1577, and the gloryG1391 of ChristG5547.
Behold, here I am: witnessH6030 against me before the LORDH3068, and before his anointedH4899: whose oxH7794 have I takenH3947? or whose assH2543 have I takenH3947? or whom have I defraudedH6231? whom have I oppressedH7533? or of whose handH3027 have I received any bribeH3724 to blindH5956 mine eyesH5869 therewith? and I will restoreH7725 it you. {bribe: Heb. ransom} {to blind…: or, that I should hide mine eyes at him}
ReceiveG5562 usG2248; we have wrongedG91 no manG3762, we have corruptedG5351 no manG3762, we have defraudedG4122 no manG3762.
ButG1161 I trustG1679 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 to sendG3992 TimotheusG5095 shortlyG5030 unto youG5213, thatG2443 I alsoG2504 may be of good comfortG2174, when I knowG1097 yourG5216 stateG4012. {But: or, Moreover}
ForG1063 I haveG2192 no manG3762 likemindedG2473, whoG3748 will naturallyG1104 careG3309 for yourG5216 stateG4012. {likeminded: or, so dear unto me}
ForG1063 allG3956 seekG2212 their ownG1438, notG3756 the things which areG3588 JesusG2424 Christ'sG5547.
ButG1161 ye knowG1097 the proofG1382 of himG846, thatG3754, asG5613 a sonG5043 with the fatherG3962, he hath servedG1398 withG4862 meG1698 inG1519 the gospelG2098.
And they saidH559, Thou hast not defraudedH6231 us, nor oppressedH7533 us, neither hast thou takenH3947 oughtH3972 of any man'sH376 handH3027.
NeverthelessG235 GodG2316, that comfortethG3870 those that are cast downG5011, comfortedG3870 usG2248 byG1722 the comingG3952 of TitusG5103;
Moreover from the timeH3117 that I was appointedH6680 to be their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 even unto the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, that is, twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141, I and my brethrenH251 have not eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346.
I have covetedG1937 no man'sG3762 silverG694, orG2228 goldG5553, orG2228 apparelG2441.
YeaG1161, ye yourselvesG846 knowG1097, thatG3754 theseG3778 handsG5495 have ministeredG5256 unto myG3450 necessitiesG5532, andG2532 to them that wereG5607 withG3326 meG1700.
I have shewedG5263 youG5213 all thingsG3956, how thatG3754 soG3779 labouringG2872 ye oughtG1163 to supportG482 the weakG770, andG5037 to rememberG3421 the wordsG3056 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, howG3754 heG846 saidG2036, It isG2076 moreG3123 blessedG3107 to giveG1325 thanG2228 to receiveG2983.
