2 Corinthians 1:17

1:17 Therefore when I was planning to do this, I did not do so without thinking about what I was doing, did I? ¹  Or do I make my plans ²  according to mere human standards ³  so that I would be saying ⁴  both “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?

2 Corinthians 5:16

5:16 So then from now on we acknowledge ⁵  no one from an outward human point of view. ⁶  Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, ⁷  now we do not know him in that way any longer.

2 Corinthians 10:2

10:2 now I ask that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence that (I expect) I will dare to use against some who consider us to be behaving ⁸  according to human standards. ⁹
