The God G2316 and Father G3962 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 which G3588 is blessed G2128 for ever more, G1519 G165 knows G1492 that I lie G5574 not.

Moreover G1161 I call G1941 God G2316 for a record G3144 on my soul, G5590 that to spare G5339 you I came G2064 not as yet G3765 to Corinth. G2882

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

For God G2316 is my witness, G3144 whom G3739 I serve G3000 with my spirit G4151 in the gospel G2098 of his Son, G5207 that without G89 ceasing G89 I make G4160 mention G3417 of you always G3842 in my prayers; G4335

I say G3004 the truth G225 in Christ, G5547 I lie G5574 not, my conscience G4893 also G4828 bearing G4828 me witness G4828 in the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151

Now G2236 the things which G3739 I write G1125 to you, behold, G2400 before G1799 God, G2316 I lie G5574 not.

For neither G3777 at G4218 any G4218 time G4218 used G1096 G1722 we flattering G2850 words, G3056 as you know, G1492 nor G3777 a cloak G4392 of covetousness; G4124 God G2316 is witness: G3144

You are witnesses, G3144 and God G2316 also, G2532 how G5613 piously G3743 and justly G1346 and blamelessly G274 we behaved G1096 ourselves among you that believe: G4100

Whereunto G1519 G3739 I am ordained G5087 a preacher, G2783 and an apostle, G652 (I speak G3004 the truth G225 in Christ, G5547 and lie G5574 not;) a teacher G1320 of the Gentiles G1484 in faith G4102 and verity. G225

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.

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

That which G3739 I speak, G2980 I speak G2980 it not after G2596 the Lord, G2962 but as it were foolishly, G1722 G877 in this G5026 confidence G5287 of boasting. G2746

Not boasting G2744 of things without G280 our measure, G280 that is, of other G245 men's labors; G2873 but having G2192 hope, G1680 when your G5216 faith G4102 is increased, G837 that we shall be enlarged G3170 by you according G2596 to our rule G2583 abundantly, G1519

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

For if G1487 I do G4238 this G5124 thing willingly, G1635 I have G2192 a reward: G3408 but if G1487 against G210 my will, G210 a dispensation G3622 of the gospel is committed G4100 to me.

Paul, G3972 an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 by the will G2307 of God, G2316 and Timothy G5095 our brother, G80 to the church G1577 of God G2316 which G3588 is at G1722 Corinth, G2882 with all G3956 the saints G40 which G3588 are in all G3650 Achaia: G882

For I know G1492 the forwardness G4288 of your G5216 mind, G4288 for which G3739 I boast G2744 of you to them of Macedonia, G3110 that Achaia G882 was ready G3903 a year G4070 ago; G575 and your G5216 zeal G2205 has provoked G2042 very G4119 many. G4119

And when Gallio G1058 was the deputy G446 of Achaia, G882 the Jews G2453 made G2721 insurrection G2721 with one G3361 accord G3661 against Paul, G3972 and brought G71 him to the judgment G968 seat, G968

And when he was disposed G1014 to pass G1330 into G1519 Achaia, G882 the brothers G80 wrote, G1125 exhorting G4389 the disciples G3101 to receive G588 him: who, G3739 when he was come, G3854 helped G4820 them much G4183 which had believed G4100 through G1223 grace: G5485

Likewise G2532 greet the church G1577 that is in their house. G3624 Salute G782 my well-beloved G27 Epaenetus, G1866 who G3739 is the first fruits G536 of Achaia G882 to Christ. G5547

I beseech G3870 you, brothers, G80 (you know G1492 the house G3614 of Stephanas, G4734 that it is the first fruits G536 of Achaia, G882 and that they have addicted G5021 themselves G1438 to the ministry G1248 of the saints, G40 )

So G5620 that you were ensamples G5179 to all G3956 that believe G4100 in Macedonia G3109 and Achaia. G882

For from you sounded G1837 out the word G3056 of the Lord G2962 not only G3440 in Macedonia G3109 and Achaia, G882 but also G2532 in every G3956 place G5117 your G5216 faith G4102 to God-ward G4314 G2316 is spread G1831 abroad; G1831 so G5620 that we need G2192 G5532 not to speak G2980 any G5100 thing.
