  1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

  1:3 Blessed be God, eveher of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of allfort;

  1:4 Whoforteth us in all our tribulation, that ed of God.

  1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our solation also abouh by Christ.

  1:6 And ion.

  1:7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knoion.

  1:8 Forwe despaired even of life:

  1:9 But he dead:

  1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: indeliver us;

  1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestohanks may be given by many on our behalf.

  1:12 For our rejoig is this, the testimony of our sce, that in simplicity and godly siy, not o you-ward.

  1:13 For he end;

  1:14 As also ye have aohe Lord Jesus.

  1:15 And in this fidence I ;

  1:16 And to pass by you into Maia, and toe again out of Maia unto you, and of you to be brought on my oward Judaea.

  1:17 When I therefore here should be yea yea, and nay nay?

  1:18 But as God is true, ouryea and nay.

  1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ,in him was yea.

  1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

  1:21 Noed us, is God;

  1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the ear of the Spirit in our hearts.

  1:23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto th.

  1:24 Not for that and.

  2:1 But I determihis o you in heaviness.

  2:2 For if I make you sorry, he same which is made sorry by me?

  2:3 And I he joy of you all.

  2:4 For out of much affli and anguish of heart I o you.

  2:5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

  2:6 Suffit to such a man is this punishment, ed of many.

  2:7 So that trarih overmuch sorrow.

  2:8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye oward him.

  2:9 For to this end also did I hings.

  2:10 To ;

  2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: forof his devices.

  2:12 Furthermore, he Lord,

  2:13 I hadin my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I o Maia.

  2:14 Nohe savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

  2:15 Forperish:

  2:16 To the one hings?

  2:17 For .

  3:1 Do ion from you?

  3:2 Ye are our epistle s, known and read of all men:

  3:3 Forasmuch as ye are maly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, .

  3:4 And such trust have o God-ward:

  3:5 Not thatour sufficy is of God;

  3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the neh life.

  3:7 But if the ministration of death, o be done away:

  3:8 Hlorious?

  3:9 For if the ministration of nation be glory, much more doth the ministration hteousness exceed in glory.

  3:10 For even that h.

  3:11 For if thatwhich remah is glorious.

  3:12 Seeing then thatplainness of speech:

  3:13 And not as Moses,which is abolished:

  3:14 But their minds .

  3:15 But even unto this day, .

  3:16 heless aken away.

  3:17 Noy.

  3:18 But he Lord.

  4:1 Therefore seeing ;

  4:2 But have renouhe hidden things of dishoy, notof God.

  4:3 But if ospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

  4:4 In hem.

  4:5 For s for Jesus" sake.

  4:6 Fod, .

  4:7 Butof us.

  4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed;in despair;

  4:9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast doroyed;

  4:10 Al in our body.

  4:11 For al flesh.

  4:12 So thehlife in you.

  4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, acc as it is herefore speak;

  4:14 Knoh you.

  4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

  4:16 For he inward man is renewed day by day.

  4:17 For ht affli,of glory;

  4:18 While ernal.

  5:1 For he heavens.

  5:2 For in this h our house which is from heaven:

  5:14 For the love of Christ strah us; because hen were all dead:

  5:15 And that he died for all, that they hem, and rose again.

  5:16 Wherefore heh knoh know we him no more.

  5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a nehings are be new.

  5:18 And all things are of God, ion;

  5:19 To ion.

  5:20 Noo God.

  5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, eousness of God in him.

  6:1 We then, as he grace of God in vain.

  6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, noion.)

  6:3 Giving no offen any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

  6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflis, in ies, in distresses,

  6:5 In stripes, in imprisos, in tumults, in labours, in ings;

  6:6 By pureness, by kno, by love unfeigned,

  6:7 By the ,

  6:8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, arue;

  6:9 As unkno killed;

  6:10 As sorrohings.

  6:11 O ye thians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.

  6:12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.

  6:13 Noo my children,) be ye also enlarged.

  6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together h darkness?

  6:15 And h an infidel?

  6:16 And hey shall be my people.

  6:17 Whereforee out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touot the uhing; and I will receive you.

  6:18 And y.

  7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us se ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfeg holiness in the fear of God.

  7:2 Receive us; ed no man, we have defrauded no man.

  7:3 I speak not this to n you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live h you.

  7:4 Great is my boldness of speech toion.

  7:5 For, hin were fears.

  7:6 heless God, thatforteth those that are cast dous;

  7:7 And not by hising only, but by the solation he more.

  7:8 For though I made you sorryfor a season.

  7:9 Nohing.

  7:1odly sorroh.

  7:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorroer.

  7:12 Wherefore, though I o you.

  7:13 Thereforewas refreshed by you all.

  7:14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as h.

  7:15 And his inrembling ye received him.

  7:16 I rejoice therefore that I have fiden you in all things.

  8:1 Moreover, brethren, he churches of Maia;

  8:2 Hoy.

  8:3 For to their pohemselves;

  8:4 Praying us s.

  8:5 And this they did, not as he will of God.

  8:6 Insomuch that he same grace also.

  8:7 Therefore, as ye abound ihing, in faith, and utterance, and knohis grace also.

  8:8 I speak not byma, but by occasion of the fory of your love.

  8:9 For ye kno be rich.

  8:10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, o be forward a year ago.

  8:11 No which ye have.

  8:12 For if there be first a .

  8:13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

  8:14 But by an equality, that noy:

  8:15 As it is le had no lack.

  8:16 But thanks be to God, us for you.

  8:17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more foro you.

  8:18 And he churches;

  8:19 And not that only, but ion of your ready mind:

  8:20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance ered by us:

  8:21 Providing for hohings, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

  8:22 Andfidence which I have in you.

  8:23 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fello.

  8:24 Wherefore sheing on your behalf.

  9:1 For as toug the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to o you:

  9:2 For I knoh provoked very many.

  9:3 Yet have I sent the brethre our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:

  9:4 Lest haply if they of Maiae ing.

  9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they ousness.

  9:6 But this I say, He ifully.

  9:7 Every man acc as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; ningly, or of y: fod loveth a cheerful giver.

  9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound too every good work:

  9:9 (As it is eousness remah for ever.

  9:10 Noeousness;)

  9:11 Being enriched ihing to all bountifulness, o God.

  9:12 For the administration of this serviot only supplieth the o God;

  9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subje unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;

  9:14 And by their prayer for you, he exceeding grace of God in you.

  9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

  10:1 Nooward you:

  10:2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold he flesh.

  10:3 For though he flesh:

  10:4 (For the rong holds;)

  10:5 Casting do;

  10:6 And having in a readio revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

  10:7 Do ye look on things after the oard appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ"s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ"s, even so are "s.

  10:8 For though I should boast some be ashamed:

  10:9 That I may not seem as if I ers.

  10:10 For his letters, say they, are ible.

  10:11 Let su ohink this, that, such as .

  10:12 Forwise.

  10:13 But o you.

  10:14 For :

  10:15 Not boasting of things ly,

  10:16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man"s line of things made ready to our hand.

  10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

  10:18 For not he thatmeh himself is approved, but h.

  11:1 Would to God ye could bear h me.

  11:2 For I am jealous over you .

  11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

  11:4 For if he thateth preacheth another Jesus, h him.

  11:5 For I suppose I les.

  11:6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knohings.

  11:7 Have Imitted an offen abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

  11:8 I robbed other churches, taking o do you service.

  11:9 And o you, and so will I keep myself.

  11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

  11:11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoh.

  11:12 But hey may be found even as we.

  11:13 For such are false "tles, deceitful .

  11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

  11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers hteousness; heir works.

  11:16 I say agai no man think me a fool; if otherle.

  11:17 That ing.

  11:18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

  11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

  11:20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a ma himself, if a man smite you on the face.

  11:21 I speak as ing reproach, as thoughwhereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

  11:22 Are they Hebrehe seed of Abraham? so am I.

  11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, ihs oft.

  11:24 Of the Jeripes save one.

  11:25 Thrice he deep;

  11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of hren;

  11:27 In en, in cold and nakedness.

  11:28 Beside those things that are he churches.

  11:29 Who is ?

  11:30 If I must needs glory, I ies.

  11:31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, .

  11:32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the kihe city of the Damases o apprehend me:

  11:33 And through a he wall, and escaped his hands.

  12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I he Lord.

  12:2 I knehird heaven.

  12:3 And I kneh;)

  12:4 Hoer.

  12:5 Of su one ies.

  12:6 For though I h of me.

  12:7 A I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there ed above measure.

  12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

  12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is suffit for thee: for my strength is made perfeupon me.

  12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in ies, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ"s sake: f.

  12:11 I am be a fool in gl; ye havepelled me: for I ought to have beenmended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest "tles, though I be nothing.

  12:12 Truly the signs of an "tle y deeds.

  12:13 For his wrong.

  12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready toe to you; and I he children.

  12:15 And I he less I be loved.

  12:16 But be it so, I did not burden you: heless, being crafty, I caught you h guile.

  12:17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them o you?

  12:18 I desired Titus, and eps?

  12:19 Again, thihat hings, dearly beloved, for your edifying.

  12:20 For I fear, lest, s:

  12:21 A, ed.

  13:1 This is the third time I aming to you. In the mouth ofo or three ablished.

  13:2 I told you before, and foretell you, as if Ispare:

  13:3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, y in you.

  13:4 For though he oward you.

  13:5 Examine yourselves, es?

  13:6 But I trust that ye shall knoes.

  13:7 Noes.

  13:8 For h.

  13:9 For ion.

  13:10 Therefore I ion.

  13:11 Finally, brethren, fareh you.

  13:12 Greet one another h an holy kiss.

  13:13 All the saints salute you.

  13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and themunion of the Holy Ghost, be h you all. Amen.
