For his letters, G1992 say G5346 they, are weighty G926 and powerful; G2478 but his bodily G4983 presence G3952 is weak, G770 and his speech G3056 contemptible. G1848

For Christ G5547 sent G649 me not to baptize, G907 but to preach G2097 the gospel: G2097 not with wisdom G4678 of words, G3056 lest G2443 G3361 the cross G4716 of Christ G5547 should be made G2758 of none G2758 effect. G2758

For after G1894 that in the wisdom G4678 of God G2316 the world G2889 by wisdom G4678 knew G1097 not God, G2316 it pleased G2106 God G2316 by the foolishness G3472 of preaching G2782 to save G4982 them that believe. G4100

And I, brothers, G80 when I came G2064 to you, came G2064 not with excellency G5247 of speech G3056 or G2228 of wisdom, G4678 declaring G2605 to you the testimony G3142 of God. G2316

And I was with you in weakness, G769 and in fear, G5401 and in much G4183 trembling. G5156

Whereby G4314 G3739 when you read, G314 you may G1410 understand G3539 my knowledge G4907 in the mystery G3466 of Christ) G5547

And account G2233 that the long-suffering G3115 of our Lord G2962 is salvation; G4991 even G2531 as our beloved G27 brother G80 Paul G3972 also G2532 according G2596 to the wisdom G4678 given G1325 to him has written G1125 to you;

As also G2532 in all G3956 his letters, G1992 speaking G2980 in them of these G5130 things; in which G3739 are some G5100 things hard G1425 to be understood, G1425 which G3739 they that are unlearned G261 and unstable G793 wrest, G4761 as they do also G2532 the other G3062 scriptures, G1124 to their own G2398 destruction. G684

But have renounced G550 the hidden G2927 things of dishonesty, G152 not walking G4043 in craftiness, G3834 nor G3366 handling G1389 the word G3056 of God G2316 deceitfully; G1389 but by manifestation G5321 of the truth G225 commending G4921 ourselves G1438 to every G3956 man's G444 conscience G4893 in the sight G1799 of God. G2316

Knowing G1492 therefore G3767 the terror G5401 of the Lord, G2962 we persuade G3982 men; G444 but we are made G5319 manifest G5319 to God; G2316 and I trust G1679 also G2532 are made G5319 manifest G5319 in your G5216 consciences. G4893

Receive G5562 us; we have wronged G91 no G3762 man, G3762 we have corrupted G5351 no G3762 man, G3762 we have defrauded G4122 no G3762 man. G3762

Truly G3303 the signs G4592 of an apostle G652 were worked G2716 among G1722 you in all G3956 patience, G5281 in signs, G4592 and wonders, G5059 and mighty G1411 deeds. G1411
