For though G1437 I should boast G2744 somewhat G5100 more G4055 of our authority, G1849 which G3739 the Lord G2962 has given G1325 us for edification, G3619 and not for your G5216 destruction, G2506 I should not be ashamed: G153

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

Who G5101 then G3767 is Paul, and who G5101 is Apollos, G625 but ministers G1249 by whom G3739 you believed, G4100 even G2532 as the Lord G2962 gave G1325 to every G1538 man?

For we are laborers G4904 together G4904 with God: G2316 you are God's G2316 husbandry, G1091 you are God's G2316 building. G3619

According G2596 to the grace G5485 of God G2316 which G3588 is given G1325 to me, as a wise G4680 master builder, G753 I have G2192 laid G5087 the foundation, G2310 and another G243 builds G2026 thereon. G2026 But let every G1538 man take heed G991 how G4459 he builds G2026 thereupon. G2026

But as God G2316 is true, G4103 our word G3056 toward G4314 you was not yes G3483 and no. G3756

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.

And if H518 it be not so now, H645 who H4310 will make H7760 me a liar, H3576 and make H7760 my speech H4405 nothing H408 worth?

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

And lest G2443 G3361 I should be exalted G5229 above measure through the abundance G5236 of the revelations, G602 there was given G1325 to me a thorn G4647 in the flesh, G4561 the messenger G32 of Satan G4567 to buffet G2852 me, lest G2443 G3361 I should be exalted G5229 above measure.

That I may not seem G1380 as if I would terrify G1629 you by letters. G1992

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
