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.

Do we beginG756 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselvesG1438? orG1508 need weG5535, asG5613 someG5100 others, epistlesG1992 of commendationG4956 toG4314 youG5209, orG2228 letters of commendationG4956 fromG1537 youG5216?
As the truthG225 of ChristG5547 isG2076 inG1722 meG1698+G3754, no manG3756 shall stopG4972+G5420 meG1519+G1691 of thisG3778 boastingG2746 inG1722 the regionsG2824 of AchaiaG882. {no man…: Gr. this boasting shall not be stopped in me}
ForG1063 whetherG1535 we be beside ourselvesG1839, it is to GodG2316: or whetherG1535 we be soberG4993, it is for your causeG5213.
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}
ForG1063 we commendG4921 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 againG3825 unto youG5213, butG235 giveG1325 youG5213 occasionG874 to gloryG2745 onG5228 ourG2257 behalfG5228, thatG2443 ye may haveG2192 somewhat toG4314 answer them which gloryG2744 inG1722 appearanceG4383, andG2532 notG3756 in heartG2588. {in appearance: Gr. in the face}
The GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 isG5607 blessedG2128 forG1519 evermoreG165, knowethG1492 that IG3754 lieG5574 notG3756.
ForG1063+G2532 thoughG1437+G5037 I should boastG2744 somewhatG5100 moreG4055 ofG4012 ourG2257 authorityG1849, whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath givenG1325 usG2254 forG1519 edificationG3619, andG2532 notG3756 forG1519 yourG5216 destructionG2506, I shouldG153 notG3756 be ashamedG153:
HavingG2192 thereforeG3767 theseG5025 promisesG1860, dearly belovedG27, let us cleanseG2511 ourselvesG1438 fromG575 allG3956 filthinessG3436 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 spiritG4151, perfectingG2005 holinessG42 inG1722 the fearG5401 of GodG2316.
I sayG3004 the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574 notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
ThereforeG5124+G1223 I writeG1125 these thingsG5023 being absentG548, lestG3363 being presentG3918 I should useG5530 sharpnessG664, accordingG2596 to the powerG1849 whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath givenG1325 meG3427 toG1519 edificationG3619, andG2532 notG3756 toG1519 destructionG2506.
Dearly belovedG27, avengeG1556 notG3361 yourselvesG1438, butG235 rather giveG1325 placeG5117 unto wrathG3709: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, VengeanceG1557 is mineG1698; IG1473 will repayG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
IfG1487 othersG243 be partakersG3348 of this powerG1849 over youG5216, are notG3756 weG2249 ratherG3123? NeverthelessG235 we haveG5530 notG3756 usedG5530 thisG5026 powerG1849; butG235 sufferG4722 all thingsG3956, lestG3363 we shouldG1325+G5100 hinderG1464 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547.
Do yeG1492 notG3756 knowG1492 thatG3754 they which ministerG2038 about holy thingsG2413 liveG2068 of the things ofG1537 the templeG2411? and they which waitG4332 at the altarG2379 are partakersG4829 with the altarG2379? {live: or, feed}
EvenG2532 soG3779 hathG1299 the LordG2962 ordainedG1299 that they which preachG2605 the gospelG2098 should liveG2198 ofG1537 the gospelG2098.
ButG1161 IG1473 have usedG5530 noneG3762 of these thingsG5130+G1161: neitherG3756 have I writtenG1125 these thingsG5023, thatG2443 it should beG1096 soG3779 doneG1096 untoG1722 meG1698: forG1063 it were betterG3123 for meG3427 to dieG599+G2570, thanG2228 thatG2443 any manG5100 should makeG2758 myG3450 gloryingG2745 voidG2758.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I preach the gospelG2097, IG3427 haveG2076 nothingG3756 to glory ofG2745: forG1063 necessityG318 is laid uponG1945 meG3427; yeaG1161, woeG3759 isG2076 unto meG3427, ifG3362 I preachG2097 notG3362 the gospelG2097!
ForG1063 ifG1487 I doG4238 this thingG5124 willinglyG1635, I haveG2192 a rewardG3408: butG1161 ifG1487 against my willG210, a dispensationG3622 of the gospel is committed unto meG4100.
WhatG5101 isG2076 myG3427 rewardG3408 thenG3767? Verily thatG2443, when I preach the gospelG2097, I may makeG5087 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547 without chargeG77, thatG1519 I abuseG2710 notG3361 myG3450 powerG1849 inG1722 the gospelG2098.
ForG1063 though I beG5607 freeG1658 fromG1537 allG3956 men, yet have I madeG1402 myselfG1683 servantG1402 unto allG3956, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the moreG4119.
AndG2532 unto the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 asG5613 a JewG2453, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the JewsG2453; to them that are underG5259 the lawG3551, asG5613 underG5259 the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that are underG5259 the lawG3551;
To them that are without lawG459, asG5613 without lawG459, (beingG5607 notG3361 without lawG459 to GodG2316, butG235 under the lawG1772 to ChristG5547,) thatG2443 I might gainG2770 them that are without lawG459.
To the weakG772 became IG1096 asG5613 weakG772, thatG2443 I might gainG2770 the weakG772: I am madeG1096 all thingsG3956 to allG3956 men, thatG2443 I mightG4982 by all meansG3843 saveG4982 someG5100.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I doG4160 forG1223 the gospel'sG2098 sakeG1223, thatG2443 I might beG1096 partakerG4791 thereofG846 withG4791 you.
Even asG2531 IG2504 pleaseG700 allG3956 men in allG3956 things, notG3361 seekingG2212 mine ownG1683 profitG4851, butG235 the profitG3588 of manyG4183, thatG2443 they may be savedG4982.
ThereforeG5620, myG3450 brethrenG80 dearly belovedG27 andG2532 longed forG1973, myG3450 joyG5479 andG2532 crownG4735, soG3779 stand fastG4739 inG1722 the LordG2962, my dearly belovedG27.
HowG5101 is itG2076 thenG3767, brethrenG80? whenG3752 ye come togetherG4905, every oneG1538 of youG5216 hathG2192 a psalmG5568, hathG2192 a doctrineG1322, hathG2192 a tongueG1100, hathG2192 a revelationG602, hathG2192 an interpretationG2058. LetG1096 all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 untoG4314 edifyingG3619.
