If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show my weakness.

It is necessary to go on boasting. Though it is not profitable, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil.
