2 Corinthians 10:1--13:14

10:1

Now
<1161>

I
<1473>

Paul
<3972>

myself
<846>

beseech
<3870> (5719)

you
<5209>

by
<1223>

the meekness
<4236>

and
<2532>

gentleness
<1932>

of Christ
<5547>_,

who
<3739>

in
<2596>

presence
<4383>

[am] base
<3303> <5011>

among
<1722>

you
<5213>_,

but
<1161>

being absent
<548> (5752)

am bold
<2292> (5719)

toward
<1519>

you
<5209>_:

{in presence: or, in outward appearance}

10:2

But
<1161>

I beseech
<1189> (5736)

[you], that I may not
<3361>

be bold
<2292> (5658)

when I am present
<3918> (5752)

with that confidence
<4006>_,

wherewith
<3739>

I think
<3049> (5736)

to be bold
<5111> (5658)

against
<1909>

some
<5100>_,

which
<3588>

think
<3049> (5740)

of us
<2248>

as
<5613>

if we walked
<4043> (5723)

according
<2596>

to the flesh
<4561>_.

{think: or, reckon}

10:3

For
<1063>

though we walk
<4043> (5723)

in
<1722>

the flesh
<4561>_,

we do
<4754> (0)

not
<3756>

war
<4754> (5731)

after
<2596>

the flesh
<4561>_:

10:4

(For
<1063>

the weapons
<3696>

of our
<2257>

warfare
<4752>

[are] not
<3756>

carnal
<4559>_,

but
<235>

mighty
<1415>

through God
<2316>

to
<4314>

the pulling down
<2506>

of strong holds
<3794>;)

{through God: or, to God}

10:5

Casting down
<2507> (5723)

imaginations
<3053>_,

and
<2532>

every
<3956>

high thing
<5313>

that exalteth itself
<1869> (5734)

against
<2596>

the knowledge
<1108>

of God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

bringing into captivity
<163> (5723)

every
<3956>

thought
<3540>

to
<1519>

the obedience
<5218>

of Christ
<5547>_;

{imaginations: or, reasonings}

10:6

And
<2532>

having
<2192> (5723)

in
<1722>

a readiness
<2092>

to revenge
<1556> (5658)

all
<3956>

disobedience
<3876>_,

when
<3752>

your
<5216>

obedience
<5218>

is fulfilled
<4137> (5686)_.

10:7

Do ye look on
<991> (5719)

things after
<2596>

the outward appearance
<4383>_?

If any man
<1536>

trust
<3982> (5754)

to himself
<1438>

that he is
<1511> (5750)

Christ's
<5547>_,

let him
<3049> (0)

of
<575>

himself
<1438>

think
<3049> (5737)

this
<5124>

again
<3825>_,

that
<3754>_,

as
<2531>

he
<846>

[is] Christ's
<5547>_,

even
<2532>

so
<3779>

[are] we
<2249>

Christ's
<5547>_.

10:8

For
<1063> <2532>

though
<1437> <5037>

I should boast
<2744> (5667)

somewhat
<5100>

more
<4055>

of
<4012>

our
<2257>

authority
<1849>_,

which
<3739>

the Lord
<2962>

hath given
<1325> (5656)

us
<2254>

for
<1519>

edification
<3619>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

for
<1519>

your
<5216>

destruction
<2506>_,

I should
<153> (0)

not
<3756>

be ashamed
<153> (5701)_:

10:9

That
<3363> (0)

I may
<1380> (0)

not
<3363>

seem
<1380> (5661)

as
<5613>

if
<302>

I would terrify
<1629> (5721)

you
<5209>

by
<1223>

letters
<1992>_.

10:10

For
<3754>

[his] letters
<1992> <3303>_,

say they
<5346> (5748)_,

[are] weighty
<926>

and
<2532>

powerful
<2478>_;

but
<1161>

[his] bodily
<4983>

presence
<3952>

[is] weak
<772>_,

and
<2532>

[his] speech
<3056>

contemptible
<1848> (5772)_.

{say they: Gr. saith he}

10:11

Let
<3049> (0)

such an one
<5108>

think
<3049> (5737)

this
<5124>_,

that
<3754>_,

such as
<3634>

we are
<2070> (5748)

in word
<3056>

by
<1223>

letters
<1992>

when we are absent
<548> (5752)_,

such
<5108>

[will we be] also
<2532>

in deed
<2041>

when we are present
<3918> (5752)_.

10:12

For
<1063>

we dare
<5111> (5719)

not
<3756>

make
<1469> (0)

ourselves of the number
<1469> (5658)_,

or
<2228>

compare
<4793> (0)

ourselves
<1438>

with
<4793> (5658)

some
<5100>

that commend
<4921> (5723)

themselves
<1438>_:

but
<235>

they
<846>

measuring
<3354> (5723)

themselves
<1438>

by
<1722>

themselves
<1438>_,

and
<2532>

comparing
<4793> (0)

themselves
<1438>

among
<4793> (5723)

themselves
<1438>_,

are
<4920> (0)

not
<3756>

wise
<4920> (5719)_.

{are...: or, understand it not}

10:13

But
<1161>

we
<2249>

will
<2744> (0)

not
<3780>

boast
<2744> (5695)

of things without
<1519>

[our] measure
<280>_,

but
<235>

according
<2596>

to the measure
<3358>

of the rule
<2583>

which
<3739>

God
<2316>

hath distributed
<3307> (5656)

to us
<2254>_,

a measure
<3358>

to reach
<2185> (5635)

even
<2532>

unto
<891>

you
<5216>_.

{rule: or, line}

10:14

For
<1063>

we stretch
<5239> (0)

not
<3756>

ourselves
<1438>

beyond
<5239> (5719)

[our measure], as
<5613>

though we reached
<2185> (5740)

not
<3361>

unto
<1519>

you
<5209>_:

for
<1063>

we are come
<5348> (5656)

as far as
<891>

to you
<5216>

also
<2532>

in
<1722>

[preaching] the gospel
<2098>

of Christ
<5547>_:

10:15

Not
<3756>

boasting
<2744> (5740)

of things without
<1519>

[our] measure
<280>_,

[that is], of
<1722>

other men's
<245>

labours
<2873>_;

but
<1161>

having
<2192> (5723)

hope
<1680>_,

when your
<5216>

faith
<4102>

is increased
<837> (5746)_,

that we shall be enlarged
<3170> (5683)

by
<1722>

you
<5213>

according
<2596>

to our
<2257>

rule
<2583>

abundantly
<1519> <4050>_,

{enlarged...: or, magnified in you}

10:16

To preach the gospel
<2097> (5670)

in
<1519>

the [regions] beyond
<5238>

you
<5216>_,

[and] not
<3756>

to boast
<2744> (5664)

in
<1722>

another man's
<245>

line
<2583>

of
<1519>

things made ready to our hand
<2092>_.

{line: or, rule}

10:17

But
<1161>

he that glorieth
<2744> (5740)_,

let him glory
<2744> (5737)

in
<1722>

the Lord
<2962>_.

10:18

For
<1063>

not
<3756>

he
<1565>

that commendeth
<4921> (5723)

himself
<1438>

is
<2076> (5748)

approved
<1384>_,

but
<235>

whom
<3739>

the Lord
<2962>

commendeth
<4921> (5719)_.

11:1

Would to God
<3785>

ye could bear
<430> (5711)

with me
<3450>

a little
<3397>

in [my] folly
<877>_:

and
<2532>

indeed
<235>

bear
<430> (5736)

with me
<3450>_.

{indeed bear...: or, indeed ye do bear with me}

11:2

For
<1063>

I am jealous
<2206> (5719)

over you
<5209>

with godly
<2316>

jealousy
<2205>_:

for
<1063>

I have espoused
<718> (5668)

you
<5209>

to one
<1520>

husband
<435>_,

that I may present
<3936> (5658)

[you as] a chaste
<53>

virgin
<3933>

to Christ
<5547>_.

11:3

But
<1161>

I fear
<5399> (5736)_,

lest
<3381>

by any means
<4458>_,

as
<5613>

the serpent
<3789>

beguiled
<1818> (5656)

Eve
<2096>

through
<1722>

his
<846>

subtilty
<3834>_,

so
<3779>

your
<5216>

minds
<3540>

should be corrupted
<5351> (5652)

from
<575>

the simplicity
<572>

that is in
<1519>

Christ
<5547>_.

11:4

For
<1063>

if
<1487> <3303>

he that cometh
<2064> (5740)

preacheth
<2784> (5719)

another
<243>

Jesus
<2424>_,

whom
<3739>

we have
<2784> (0)

not
<3756>

preached
<2784> (5656)_,

or
<2228>

[if] ye receive
<2983> (5719)

another
<2087>

spirit
<4151>_,

which
<3739>

ye have
<2983> (0)

not
<3756>

received
<2983> (5627)_,

or
<2228>

another
<2087>

gospel
<2098>_,

which
<3739>

ye have
<1209> (0)

not
<3756>

accepted
<1209> (5662)_,

ye might
<430> (0)

well
<2573>

bear with
<430> (5711)

[him]. {with him: or, with me}

11:5

For
<1063>

I suppose
<3049> (5736)

I was
<5302> (0)

not a whit
<3367>

behind
<5302> (5760)

the very
<5228>

chiefest
<3029>

apostles
<652>_.

11:6

But
<1161>

though
<1499>

[I be] rude
<2399>

in speech
<3056>_,

yet
<235>

not
<3756>

in knowledge
<1108>_;

but
<235>

we have been throughly
<1722> <3956>

made manifest
<5319> (5685)

among
<1519>

you
<5209>

in
<1722>

all things
<3956>_.

11:7

<2228>@ Have I committed
<4160> (5656)

an offence
<266>

in abasing
<5013> (5723)

myself
<1683>

that
<2443>

ye
<5210>

might be exalted
<5312> (5686)_,

because
<3754>

I have preached
<2097> (5668)

to you
<5213>

the gospel
<2098>

of God
<2316>

freely
<1432>_?

11:8

I robbed
<4813> (5656)

other
<243>

churches
<1577>_,

taking
<2983> (5631)

wages
<3800>

[of them], to
<4314>

do
<1248> (0)

you
<5216>

service
<1248>_.

11:9

And
<2532>

when I was present
<3918> (5752)

with
<4314>

you
<5209>_,

and
<2532>

wanted
<5302> (5685)_,

I was
<3756>

chargeable
<2655> (5656)

to no man
<3762>_:

for
<1063>

that which was lacking
<5303>

to me
<3450>

the brethren
<80>

which came
<2064> (5631)

from
<575>

Macedonia
<3109>

supplied
<4322> (5656)_:

and
<2532>

in
<1722>

all
<3956>

[things] I have kept
<5083> (5656)

myself
<1683>

from being burdensome
<4>

unto you
<5213>_,

and
<2532>

[so] will I keep
<5083> (5692)

[myself].

11:10

As the truth
<225>

of Christ
<5547>

is
<2076> (5748)

in
<1722>

me
<1698>_,

<3754>

no man
<3756>

shall stop
<4972> (5695) (5625) <5420> (5691)

me
<1519> <1691>

of this
<3778>

boasting
<2746>

in
<1722>

the regions
<2824>

of Achaia
<882>_.

{no man...: Gr. this boasting shall not be stopped in me}

11:11

Wherefore
<1302>_?

because
<3754>

I love
<25> (5719)

you
<5209>

not
<3756>_?

God
<2316>

knoweth
<1492> (5758)_.

11:12

But
<1161>

what
<3739>

I do
<4160> (5719)_,

that
<2532>

I will do
<4160> (5692)_,

that
<2443>

I may cut off
<1581> (5661)

occasion
<874>

from them which desire
<2309> (5723)

occasion
<874>_;

that
<2443>

wherein
<1722> <3739>

they glory
<2744> (5736)_,

they may be found
<2147> (5686)

even
<2532>

as
<2531>

we
<2249>_.

11:13

For
<1063>

such
<5108>

[are] false apostles
<5570>_,

deceitful
<1386>

workers
<2040>_,

transforming themselves
<3345> (5734)

into
<1519>

the apostles
<652>

of Christ
<5547>_.

11:14

And
<2532>

no
<3756>

marvel
<2298>_;

for
<1063>

Satan
<4567>

himself
<846>

is transformed
<3345> (5731)

into
<1519>

an angel
<32>

of light
<5457>_.

11:15

Therefore
<3767>

[it is] no
<3756>

great thing
<3173>

if
<1499> (0)

his
<846>

ministers
<1249>

also
<1499>

be transformed
<3345> (5743)

as
<5613>

the ministers
<1249>

of righteousness
<1343>_;

whose
<3739>

end
<5056>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

according
<2596>

to their
<846>

works
<2041>_.

11:16

I say
<3004> (5719)

again
<3825>_,

Let
<1380> (0)

no
<3361>

man
<5100>

think
<1380> (5661)

me
<1511> (5750) <3165>

a fool
<878>_;

if otherwise
<1490>_,

yet
<2579>

as
<5613>

a fool
<878>

receive
<1209> (5663)

me
<3165>_,

that
<2443>

I
<2504>

may boast myself
<2744> (5667)

a
<5100>

little
<3397>_.

{receive: or, suffer}

11:17

That which
<3739>

I speak
<2980> (5719)_,

I speak
<2980> (5719)

[it] not
<3756>

after
<2596>

the Lord
<2962>_,

but
<235>

as
<5613>

it were foolishly
<1722> <877>_,

in
<1722>

this
<5026>

confidence
<5287>

of boasting
<2746>_.

11:18

Seeing that
<1893>

many
<4183>

glory
<2744> (5736)

after
<2596>

the flesh
<4561>_,

I will glory
<2744> (5695)

also
<2504>_.

11:19

For
<1063>

ye suffer
<430> (5736)

fools
<878>

gladly
<2234>_,

seeing ye [yourselves] are
<5607> (5752)

wise
<5429>_.

11:20

For
<1063>

ye suffer
<430> (5736)_,

if a man
<1536>

bring
<2615> (0)

you
<5209>

into bondage
<2615> (5719)_,

if a man
<1536>

devour
<2719> (5719)

[you], if a man
<1536>

take
<2983> (5719)

[of you], if a man
<1536>

exalt himself
<1869> (5731)_,

if a man
<1536>

smite
<1194> (5719)

you
<5209>

on
<1519>

the face
<4383>_.

11:21

I speak
<3004> (5719)

as concerning
<2596>

reproach
<819>_,

as
<5613>

though
<3754>

we
<2249>

had been weak
<770> (5656)_.

Howbeit
<1161>

whereinsoever
<1722> <3739> <302>

any
<5100>

is bold
<5111> (5725)_,

(I speak
<3004> (5719)

foolishly
<1722> <877>,)

I am bold
<5111> (5719)

also
<2504>_.

11:22

Are they
<1526> (5748)

Hebrews
<1445>_?

so [am] I
<2504>_.

Are they
<1526> (5748)

Israelites
<2475>_?

so [am] I
<2504>_.

Are they
<1526> (5748)

the seed
<4690>

of Abraham
<11>_?

so [am] I
<2504>_.

11:23

Are they
<1526> (5748)

ministers
<1249>

of Christ
<5547>_?

(I speak
<2980> (5719)

as a fool
<3912> (5723))

I
<1473>

[am] more
<5228>_;

in
<1722>

labours
<2873>

more abundant
<4056>_,

in
<1722>

stripes
<4127>

above measure
<5234>_,

in
<1722>

prisons
<5438>

more frequent
<4056>_,

in
<1722>

deaths
<2288>

oft
<4178>_.

11:24

Of
<5259>

the Jews
<2453>

five times
<3999>

received I
<2983> (5627)

forty
<5062>

[stripes] save
<3844>

one
<3391>_.

11:25

Thrice
<5151>

was I beaten with rods
<4463> (5681)_,

once
<530>

was I stoned
<3034> (5681)_,

thrice
<5151>

I suffered shipwreck
<3489> (5656)_,

a night and a day
<3574>

I have been
<4160> (5758)

in
<1722>

the deep
<1037>_;

11:26

[In] journeyings
<3597>

often
<4178>_,

[in] perils
<2794>

of waters
<4215>_,

[in] perils
<2794>

of robbers
<3027>_,

[in] perils
<2794>

by
<1537>

[mine own] countrymen
<1085>_,

[in] perils
<2794>

by
<1537>

the heathen
<1484>_,

[in] perils
<2794>

in
<1722>

the city
<4172>_,

[in] perils
<2794>

in
<1722>

the wilderness
<2047>_,

[in] perils
<2794>

in
<1722>

the sea
<2281>_,

[in] perils
<2794>

among
<1722>

false brethren
<5569>_;

11:27

In
<1722>

weariness
<2873>

and
<2532>

painfulness
<3449>_,

in
<1722>

watchings
<70>

often
<4178>_,

in
<1722>

hunger
<3042>

and
<2532>

thirst
<1373>_,

in
<1722>

fastings
<3521>

often
<4178>_,

in
<1722>

cold
<5592>

and
<2532>

nakedness
<1132>_.

11:28

Beside
<5565>

those things that are without
<3924>_,

that which
<3588>

cometh upon
<1999>

me
<3450>

daily
<2250>_,

<2596>

the care
<3308>

of all
<3956>

the churches
<1577>_.

11:29

Who
<5101>

is weak
<770> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

I am
<770> (0)

not
<3756>

weak
<770> (5719)_?

who
<5101>

is offended
<4624> (5743)_,

and
<2532>

I
<1473>

burn
<4448> (5743)

not
<3756>_?

11:30

If
<1487>

I must needs
<1163> (5748)

glory
<2744> (5738)_,

I will glory
<2744> (5695)

of the things which concern
<3588>

mine
<3450>

infirmities
<769>_.

11:31

The God
<2316>

and
<2532>

Father
<3962>

of our
<2257>

Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

which
<3588>

is
<5607> (5752)

blessed
<2128>

for
<1519>

evermore
<165>_,

knoweth
<1492> (5758)

that I
<3754>

lie
<5574> (5736)

not
<3756>_.

11:32

In
<1722>

Damascus
<1154>

the governor
<1481>

under Aretas
<702>

the king
<935>

kept
<5432> (0)

the city
<4172>

of the Damascenes
<1153>

with a garrison
<5432> (5707)_,

desirous
<2309> (5723)

to apprehend
<4084> (5658)

me
<3165>_:

11:33

And
<2532>

through
<1223>

a window
<2376>

in
<1722>

a basket
<4553>

was I let down
<5465> (5681)

by
<1223>

the wall
<5038>_,

and
<2532>

escaped
<1628> (5627)

his
<846>

hands
<5495>_.

12:1

It is
<4851> (0)

not
<3756>

expedient
<4851> (5719)

for me
<3427>

doubtless
<1211>

to glory
<2744> (5738)_.

<1063>

I will come
<2064> (5695)

to
<1519>

visions
<3701>

and
<2532>

revelations
<602>

of the Lord
<2962>_.

{I will come: Gr. For I will come}

12:2

I knew
<1492> (5758)

a man
<444>

in
<1722>

Christ
<5547>

above
<4253> (0)

fourteen
<1180>

years
<2094>

ago
<4253>_,

(whether
<1535>

in
<1722>

the body
<4983>_,

I cannot
<3756>

tell
<1492> (5758)_;

or whether
<1535>

out
<1622>

of the body
<4983>_,

I cannot
<3756>

tell
<1492> (5758)_:

God
<2316>

knoweth
<1492> (5758);)

such an one
<5108>

caught up
<726> (5651)

to
<2193>

the third
<5154>

heaven
<3772>_.

12:3

And
<2532>

I knew
<1492> (5758)

such
<5108>

a man
<444>_,

(whether
<1535>

in
<1722>

the body
<4983>_,

or
<1535>

out
<1622>

of the body
<4983>_,

I cannot
<3756>

tell
<1492> (5758)_:

God
<2316>

knoweth
<1492> (5758);)

12:4

How that
<3754>

he was caught up
<726> (5648)

into
<1519>

paradise
<3857>_,

and
<2532>

heard
<191> (5656)

unspeakable
<731>

words
<4487>_,

which
<3739>

it is
<1832> (0)

not
<3756>

lawful
<1832> (5752)

for a man
<444>

to utter
<2980> (5658)_.

{lawful: or, possible}

12:5

Of
<5228>

such an one
<5108>

will I glory
<2744> (5695)_:

yet
<1161>

of
<5228>

myself
<1683>

I will
<2744> (0)

not
<3756>

glory
<2744> (5695)_,

but
<1508>

in
<1722>

mine
<3450>

infirmities
<769>_.

12:6

For
<1063>

though
<1437>

I would desire
<2309> (5661)

to glory
<2744> (5664)_,

I shall
<2071> (0)

not
<3756>

be
<2071> (5704)

a fool
<878>_;

for
<1063>

I will say
<2046> (5692)

the truth
<225>_:

but
<1161>

[now] I forbear
<5339> (5736)_,

lest
<3361>

any man
<5100>

should think
<3049> (5667)

of
<1519>

me
<1691>

above
<5228>

that which
<3739>

he seeth
<991> (5719)

me
<3165>

[to be], or
<2228>

[that] he heareth
<191> (5719)

of
<5100> <1537>

me
<1700>_.

12:7

And
<2532>

lest
<3363>

I should be exalted above measure
<5229> (5747)

through the abundance
<5236>

of the revelations
<602>_,

there was given
<1325> (5681)

to me
<3427>

a thorn
<4647>

in the flesh
<4561>_,

the messenger
<32>

of Satan
<4566>

to
<2443>

buffet
<2852> (5725)

me
<3165>_,

lest
<3363>

I should be exalted above measure
<5229> (5747)_.

12:8

For
<5228>

this thing
<5127>

I besought
<3870> (5656)

the Lord
<2962>

thrice
<5151>_,

that
<2443>

it might depart
<868> (5632)

from
<575>

me
<1700>_.

12:9

And
<2532>

he said
<2046> (5758)

unto me
<3427>_,

My
<3450>

grace
<5485>

is sufficient
<714> (5719)

for thee
<4671>_:

for
<1063>

my
<3450>

strength
<1411>

is made perfect
<5048> (5743)

in
<1722>

weakness
<769>_.

Most gladly
<2236>

therefore
<3767>

will I
<2744> (0)

rather
<3123>

glory
<2744> (5695)

in
<1722>

my
<3450>

infirmities
<769>_,

that
<2443>

the power
<1411>

of Christ
<5547>

may rest
<1981> (5661)

upon
<1909>

me
<1691>_.

12:10

Therefore
<1352>

I take pleasure
<2106> (5719)

in
<1722>

infirmities
<769>_,

in
<1722>

reproaches
<5196>_,

in
<1722>

necessities
<318>_,

in
<1722>

persecutions
<1375>_,

in
<1722>

distresses
<4730>

for
<5228> (0)

Christ's
<5547>

sake
<5228>_:

for
<1063>

when
<3752>

I am weak
<770> (5725)_,

then
<5119>

am
<1510> (5748)

I strong
<1415>_.

12:11

I am become
<1096> (5754)

a fool
<878>

in glorying
<2744> (5740)_;

ye
<5210>

have compelled
<315> (5656)

me
<3165>_:

for
<1063>

I
<1473>

ought
<3784> (5707)

to have been commended
<4921> (5745)

of
<5259>

you
<5216>_:

for
<1063>

in nothing
<3762>

am I behind
<5302> (5656)

the very chiefest
<3029>

apostles
<652> <5228>_,

though
<1499>

I be
<1510> (5748)

nothing
<3762>_.

12:12

Truly
<3303>

the signs
<4592>

of an apostle
<652>

were wrought
<2716> (5681)

among
<1722>

you
<5213>

in
<1722>

all
<3956>

patience
<5281>_,

in
<1722>

signs
<4592>_,

and
<2532>

wonders
<5059>_,

and
<2532>

mighty deeds
<1411>_.

12:13

For
<1063>

what
<5101>

is it
<2076> (5748)

wherein
<3739>

ye were inferior
<2274> (5681)

to
<5228>

other
<3062>

churches
<1577>_,

except
<1508>

[it be] that
<3754>

I
<1473>

myself
<846>

was
<2655> (0)

not
<3756>

burdensome
<2655> (5656)

to you
<5216>_?

forgive
<5483> (5663)

me
<3427>

this
<5026>

wrong
<93>_.

12:14

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

the third time
<5154>

I am
<2192> (5719)

ready
<2093>

to come
<2064> (5629)

to
<4314>

you
<5209>_;

and
<2532>

I will
<2655> (0)

not
<3756>

be burdensome
<2655> (5692)

to you
<5216>_:

for
<1063>

I seek
<2212> (5719)

not
<3756>

yours
<5216>_,

but
<235>

you
<5209>_:

for
<1063>

the children
<5043>

ought
<3784> (5719)

not
<3756>

to lay up
<2343> (5721)

for the parents
<1118>_,

but
<235>

the parents
<1118>

for the children
<5043>_.

12:15

And
<1161>

I
<1473>

will very gladly
<2236>

spend
<1159> (5692)

and
<2532>

be spent
<1550> (5701)

for
<5228>

you
<5590> <5216>_;

though
<1499>

the more abundantly
<4056>

I love
<25> (5723)

you
<5209>_,

the less
<2276>

I be loved
<25> (5743)_.

{for you: Gr. for your souls}

12:16

But
<1161>

be it so
<2077> (5749)_,

I
<1473>

did
<2599> (0)

not
<3756>

burden
<2599> (5656)

you
<5209>_:

nevertheless
<235>_,

being
<5225> (5723)

crafty
<3835>_,

I caught
<2983> (5627)

you
<5209>

with guile
<1388>_.

12:17

Did I make a gain
<4122> (5656) <3361>

of you
<5209>

by
<1223>

any
<5100>

of them
<846>

whom
<3739>

I sent
<649> (5758)

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>_?

12:18

I desired
<3870> (5656)

Titus
<5103>_,

and
<2532>

with [him] I sent
<4882> (5656)

a brother
<80>_.

Did
<4122> (0) <3387>

Titus
<5103>

make a gain
<4122> (5656)

of you
<5209>_?

walked we
<4043> (5656)

not
<3756>

in the same
<846>

spirit
<4151>_?

[walked we] not
<3756>

in the same
<846>

steps
<2487>_?

12:19

Again
<3825>_,

think ye
<1380> (5719)

that
<3754>

we excuse ourselves
<626> (5736)

unto you
<5213>_?

we speak
<2980> (5719)

before
<2714>

God
<2316>

in
<1722>

Christ
<5547>_:

but
<1161>

[we do] all things
<3956>_,

dearly beloved
<27>_,

for
<5228>

your
<5216>

edifying
<3619>_.

12:20

For
<1063>

I fear
<5399> (5736)_,

lest
<3381> <4458>_,

when I come
<2064> (5631)_,

I shall
<2147> (0)

not
<3756>

find
<2147> (5632)

you
<5209>

such as
<3634>

I would
<2309> (5719)_,

and [that] I
<2504>

shall be found
<2147> (5686)

unto you
<5213>

such as
<3634>

ye would
<2309> (5719)

not
<3756>_:

lest
<3381> <4458>

[there be] debates
<2054>_,

envyings
<2205>_,

wraths
<2372>_,

strifes
<2052>_,

backbitings
<2636>_,

whisperings
<5587>_,

swellings
<5450>_,

tumults
<181>_:

12:21

[And] lest
<3361>_,

when I come
<2064> (5631)

again
<3825>_,

my
<3450>

God
<2316>

will humble
<5013> (5661)

me
<3165>

among
<4314>

you
<5209>_,

and
<2532>

[that] I shall bewail
<3996> (5692)

many
<4183>

which
<3588>

have sinned already
<4258> (5761)_,

and
<2532>

have
<3340> (0)

not
<3361>

repented
<3340> (5660)

of
<1909>

the uncleanness
<167>

and
<2532>

fornication
<4202>

and
<2532>

lasciviousness
<766>

which
<3739>

they have committed
<4238> (5656)_.

13:1

This
<5124>

[is] the third
<5154>

[time] I am coming
<2064> (5736)

to
<4314>

you
<5209>_.

In
<1909>

the mouth
<4750>

of two
<1417>

or
<2532>

three
<5140>

witnesses
<3144>

shall
<2476> (0)

every
<3956>

word
<4487>

be established
<2476> (5701)_.

13:2

I told you before
<4280> (5758)_,

and
<2532>

foretell you
<4302> (5719)_,

as if
<5613>

I were present
<3918> (5752)_,

the second
<1208>

time; and
<2532>

being absent
<548> (5752)

now
<3568>

I write
<1125> (5719)

to them which heretofore have sinned
<4258> (5761)_,

and
<2532>

to all
<3956>

other
<3062>_,

that
<3754>_,

if
<1437>

I come
<2064> (5632)

again
<1519> <3825>_,

I will
<5339> (0)

not
<3756>

spare
<5339> (5695)_:

13:3

Since
<1893>

ye seek
<2212> (5719)

a proof
<1382>

of Christ
<5547>

speaking
<2980> (5723)

in
<1722>

me
<1698>_,

which
<3739>

to
<1519>

you-ward
<5209>

is
<770> (0)

not
<3756>

weak
<770> (5719)_,

but
<235>

is mighty
<1414> (5719)

in
<1722>

you
<5213>_.

13:4

For
<1063> <2532>

though
<1487>

he was crucified
<4717> (5681)

through
<1537>

weakness
<769>_,

yet
<235>

he liveth
<2198> (5719)

by
<1537>

the power
<1411>

of God
<2316>_.

For
<1063>

we
<2249>

also
<2532>

are weak
<770> (5719)

in
<1722>

him
<846>_,

but
<235>

we shall live
<2198> (5695)

with
<4862>

him
<846>

by
<1537>

the power
<1411>

of God
<2316>

toward
<1519>

you
<5209>_.

{in him: or, with him}

13:5

Examine
<3985> (5720)

yourselves
<1438>_,

whether
<1487>

ye be
<2075> (5748)

in
<1722>

the faith
<4102>_;

prove
<1381> (5720)

your own selves
<1438>_.

<2228>

Know ye
<1921> (5719)

not
<3756>

your own selves
<1438>_,

how that
<3754>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>

is
<2076> (5748)

in
<1722>

you
<5213>_,

except
<1509>

ye be
<2075> (5748)

reprobates
<5100> <96>_?

13:6

But
<1161>

I trust
<1679> (5719)

that
<3754>

ye shall know
<1097> (5695)

that
<3754>

we
<2249>

are
<2070> (5748)

not
<3756>

reprobates
<96>_.

13:7

Now
<1161>

I pray
<2172> (5736)

to
<4314>

God
<2316>

that ye
<5209>

do
<3361> <4160> (5658)

no
<3367>

evil
<2556>_;

not
<3756>

that
<2443>

we
<2249>

should appear
<5316> (5652)

approved
<1384>_,

but
<235>

that
<2443>

ye
<5210>

should do
<4160> (5725)

that which is honest
<2570>_,

though
<1161>

we
<2249>

be
<5600> (5753)

as
<5613>

reprobates
<96>_.

13:8

For
<1063>

we can do
<1410> (5736)

nothing
<3756> <5100>

against
<2596>

the truth
<225>_,

but
<235>

for
<5228>

the truth
<225>_.

13:9

For
<1063>

we
<2249>

are glad
<5463> (5719)_,

when
<3752>

we are weak
<770> (5725)_,

and
<1161>

ye
<5210>

are
<5600> (5753)

strong
<1415>_:

and
<1161>

this
<5124>

also
<2532>

we wish
<2172> (5736)_,

[even] your
<5216>

perfection
<2676>_.

{perfection: or, reformation, or, restoration}

13:10

Therefore
<5124> <1223>

I write
<1125> (5719)

these things
<5023>

being absent
<548> (5752)_,

lest
<3363>

being present
<3918> (5752)

I should use
<5530> (5667)

sharpness
<664>_,

according
<2596>

to the power
<1849>

which
<3739>

the Lord
<2962>

hath given
<1325> (5656)

me
<3427>

to
<1519>

edification
<3619>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

to
<1519>

destruction
<2506>_.

13:11

Finally
<3063>_,

brethren
<80>_,

farewell
<5463> (5720)_.

Be perfect
<2675> (5744)_,

be of good comfort
<3870> (5744)_,

be of one
<846>

mind
<5426> (5720)_,

live in peace
<1514> (5720)_;

and
<2532>

the God
<2316>

of love
<26>

and
<2532>

peace
<1515>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

with
<3326>

you
<5216>_.

13:12

Greet
<782> (5663)

one another
<240>

with
<1722>

an holy
<40>

kiss
<5370>_.

13:13

All
<3956>

the saints
<40>

salute
<782> (5736)

you
<5209>_.

13:14

The grace
<5485>

of the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

and
<2532>

the love
<26>

of God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

the communion
<2842>

of the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>_,

[be] with
<3326>

you
<5216>

all
<3956>_.

Amen
<281>_.
