For if G1487 Abraham G11 were justified G1344 by works, G2041 he has G2192 whereof to glory; G2745 but not before G4314 God. G2316

Now G1161 thanks G5485 be to God, G2316 which always G3842 causes G2358 us to triumph G2358 in Christ, G5547 and makes G5319 manifest G5319 the aroma G3744 of his knowledge G1108 by us in every G3956 place. G5117

To the one G3303 we are the smell G3744 of death G2288 to death; G2288 and to the other G3739 the smell G3744 of life G2222 to life. G2222 And who G5101 is sufficient G2425 for these G5023 things?

And such G5108 trust G4006 have G2192 we through G1223 Christ G5547 to God-ward: G4314

Who G3739 also G2532 has made G2427 us able G2427 ministers G1249 of the new G2537 testament; G1242 not of the letter, G1121 but of the spirit: G4151 for the letter G1121 kills, G615 but the spirit G4151 gives life. G2227

Great G4183 is my boldness G3954 of speech toward G4314 you, great G4183 is my glorying G2746 of you: I am filled G4137 with comfort, G3874 I am exceeding G5248 joyful G5479 in all G3956 our tribulation. G2347

I say G3004 again, G3825 Let no G3367 man G5100 think G1380 me a fool; G878 if G1490 otherwise, G1490 yet G2579 as a fool G878 receive G1209 me, that I may boast G2744 myself a little. G3397

Seeing G1893 that many G4183 glory G2744 after G2596 the flesh, G4561 I will glory G2744 also. G2504

For you suffer, G430 if G1487 a man G5100 bring G2615 you into bondage, G2615 if G1487 a man G5100 devour G2719 you, if G1487 a man G5100 take G2983 of you, if G1487 a man G5100 exalt G1869 himself, if G1487 a man G5100 smite G1194 you on G1519 the face. G4383

Are they Hebrews? G1445 so G2504 am I. Are they Israelites? G2475 so G2504 am I. Are they the seed G4690 of Abraham? G11 so G2504 am I.

Of the Jews G2453 five G3999 times G3999 received G2983 I forty G5062 stripes save G3844 one. G3391

In journeys G3597 often, G3740 in perils G2794 of waters, G4215 in perils G2794 of robbers, G3027 in perils G2794 by my own countrymen, G1085 in perils G2794 by the heathen, G1484 in perils G2794 in the city, G4172 in perils G2794 in the wilderness, G2047 in perils G2794 in the sea, G2281 in perils G2794 among G1722 false G5569 brothers; G5569

Beside G5565 those G3588 things that are without, G3924 that which G3588 comes G1999 on me daily, G2596 G2250 the care G3308 of all G3956 the churches. G1577

If G1487 I must G1163 needs glory, G2744 I will glory G2744 of the things which concern G4012 my G3450 infirmities. G769

It is not expedient G4851 for me doubtless G1211 to glory. G2744 I will come G2064 to visions G3701 and revelations G602 of the Lord. G2962

I am become G1096 a fool G878 in glorying; G2744 you have compelled G315 me: for I ought G3784 to have been commended G4921 of you: for in nothing G3762 am I behind G5302 the very G3029 most chief G5228 G3029 apostles, G652 though G1499 I be nothing. G3762

For what G5101 is it wherein G3757 you were inferior G2274 to other G3062 churches, G1577 except G1508 it be that I myself was not burdensome G2655 to you? forgive G5483 me this G5026 wrong. G93

And I will very G2236 gladly G2236 spend G1159 and be spent G1550 for you; though G1499 the more G4056 abundantly G4056 I love G25 you, the less G2276 I be loved. G25

Did I make G4122 a gain G4122 of you by any G5100 of them whom G3739 I sent G649 to you?

Again, G3825 think G1380 you that we excuse G626 ourselves to you? we speak G2980 before G2714 God G2316 in Christ: G5547 but we do all G3956 things, dearly beloved, G27 for your G5216 edifying. G3619

And lest, G3361 when I come G2064 again, G3825 my God G2316 will humble G5013 me among G4314 you, and that I shall mourn G3996 many G4183 which G3588 have sinned G4258 already, G4258 and have not repented G3340 of the uncleanness G167 and fornication G4202 and lasciviousness G766 which G3739 they have committed. G4238

For every G3956 high G749 priest G749 taken G2983 from among G3319 men G444 is ordained G2525 for men G444 in things pertaining to God, G2316 that he may offer G4374 both G5037 gifts G1435 and sacrifices G2378 for sins: G266
