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

If G1487 I be not an apostle G652 to others, G243 yet G235 doubtless G1065 I am G1510 to you: for the seal G4973 of my G1699 apostleship G651 are you in the Lord. G2962

I write G1125 not these G5023 things to shame G1788 you, but as my beloved G27 sons G5043 I warn G3560 you.

For though G1437 you have G2192 ten G3463 thousand G3563 instructors G3807 in Christ, G5547 yet G235 have you not many G4183 fathers: G3962 for in Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 I have begotten G1080 you through G1223 the gospel. G2098

But I have used G5530 none G3762 of these G5130 things: neither have I written G1125 these G5023 things, that it should be so G3779 done G1096 to me: for it were better G2570 G3123 for me to die, G599 than G2228 that any G5100 man should make G2758 my glorying G2745 void. G2758

What G5101 is my reward G3408 then? G3767 Truly that, when I preach G2097 the gospel, G2097 I may make G5087 the gospel G2098 of Christ G5547 without G77 charge, G77 that I abuse G2710 not my power G1849 in the gospel. G2098

Therefore G1352 watch, G1127 and remember, G3421 that by the space G5148 of three G5148 years G5148 I ceased G3973 not to warn G3560 every G1538 one G1520 night G3571 and day G2250 with tears. G1144

I have G2192 coveted G1937 no G3762 man's G3762 silver, G694 or G2228 gold, G5553 or G2228 apparel. G2441

Have I committed G4160 an offense G266 in abasing G5013 myself G1683 that you might be exalted, G5312 because G3754 I have preached G2097 to you the gospel G2098 of God G2316 freely? G1432

And when I was present G3918 with you, and wanted, G5302 I was chargeable G2655 to no G3762 man: G3762 for that which was lacking G5303 to me the brothers G80 which came G2064 from Macedonia G3109 supplied: G4322 and in all G3956 things I have kept G5083 myself G1683 from being burdensome G4 to you, and so will I keep G5083 myself. G1683

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

Behold, G2400 the third G5154 time I am ready G2093 to come G2064 to you; and I will not be burdensome G2655 to you: for I seek G2212 not your's G5216 but you: for the children G5043 ought G3784 not to lay G2343 up for the parents, G1118 but the parents G1118 for the children. G5043

Nor G3777 of men G444 sought G2212 we glory, G1391 neither G3777 of you, nor G3777 yet of others, G243 when we might G1410 have been burdensome, G1722 G922 as the apostles G652 of Christ. G5547

So G3779 being affectionately G2442 desirous G2442 of you, we were willing G2106 to have imparted G3330 to you, not the gospel G2098 of God G2316 only, G3440 but also G2532 our own G1438 souls, G5590 because G1360 you were dear G27 to us.

Neither G3761 did we eat G5315 any G5100 man's bread G740 for nothing; G1432 but worked G2038 with labor G2873 and travail G3449 night G3571 and day, G2250 that we might not be chargeable G1912 to any G5100 of you:

Not because G3754 we have G2192 not power, G1849 but to make G1325 ourselves G1438 an ensample G5179 to you to follow G3401 us.

Even to this G3588 present G737 hour G5610 we both G2532 hunger, G3983 and thirst, G1372 and are naked, G1130 and are buffeted, G2852 and have no G790 certain G790 dwelling place; G790

And labor, G2872 working G2038 with our own G2398 hands: G5495 being reviled, G3058 we bless; G2127 being persecuted, G1377 we suffer G430 it:

Now G2236 therefore G3767 there is utterly G3654 a fault G2275 among G1722 you, because G3754 you go to law G2917 one G1438 with another. G1438 Why G1302 do you not rather G3123 take wrong? G91 why G1302 do you not rather G3123 suffer yourselves to be defrauded? G650

And he said H559 to them, Hinder H309 me not, seeing the LORD H3068 has prospered H6743 my way; H1870 send H7971 me away that I may go H3212 to my master. H113

And conspired H7194 all H3605 of them together H3162 to come H935 and to fight H3898 against Jerusalem, H3389 and to hinder H6213 H8442 it.

Woe G3759 to you, lawyers! G3544 for you have taken G142 away the key G2807 of knowledge: G1108 you entered G1525 not in yourselves, G846 and them that were entering G1525 in you hindered. G2967

For which G1352 cause G1352 also G2532 I have been much G5248 hindered G1465 from coming G2064 to you.

But what G3739 I do, G4160 that I will do, G4160 that I may cut G1581 off G1581 occasion G874 from them which desire G2309 occasion; G874 that wherein G1722 G3757 they glory, G2744 they may be found G2147 even G2532 as we.
