Seeing then G3767 that we have G2192 such G5108 hope, G1680 we use G5530 great G4183 plainness G3954 of speech:

O you Corinthians, G2881 our mouth G4750 is open G455 to you, our heart G2588 is enlarged. G4115

Now G1161 I Paul G3972 myself beseech G3870 you by the meekness G4236 and gentleness G1932 of Christ, G5547 who G3739 in presence G4383 am base G5011 among G1722 you, but being absent G548 am bold G2292 toward G1519 you:

But I beseech G1189 you, that I may not be bold G2292 when I am present G3918 with that confidence, G4006 with which G3739 I think G3049 to be bold G5111 against G1909 some, G5100 which G3588 think G3049 of us as if we walked G4043 according G2596 to the flesh. G4561

I speak G3004 as concerning G2596 reproach, G819 as though G3754 we had been weak. G770 However, when ever G1722 G3739 G302 any G5100 is bold, G5111 (I speak G3004 foolishly, G1722 G877 ) I am bold also. G5111 G2504

And for me, that utterance G3056 may be given G1325 to me, that I may open G1722 G457 my mouth G4750 boldly, G3954 to make G1107 known G1107 the mystery G3466 of the gospel, G2098

For which G3739 I am an ambassador G4243 in bonds: G254 that therein G1722 G846 I may speak boldly, G3955 as I ought G1163 to speak. G2980

According G2596 to my earnest G603 expectation G603 and my hope, G1680 that in nothing G3762 I shall be ashamed, G153 but that with all G3956 boldness, G3954 as always, G3842 so now G3568 also G2532 Christ G5547 shall be magnified G3170 in my body, G4983 whether G1535 it be by life, G2222 or G1535 by death. G2288

But even G2532 after that we had suffered G4310 before, G4310 and were shamefully G5195 entreated, G5195 as you know, G1492 at G1722 Philippi, G5375 we were bold G3955 in our God G2316 to speak G2980 to you the gospel G2098 of God G2316 with much G4183 contention. G73

As also G2532 you have acknowledged G1922 us in part, G3313 that we are your G5216 rejoicing, G2745 even G2509 as you also G2532 are our's G2257 in the day G2250 of the Lord G2962 Jesus. G2424

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

Lest G3381 haply G3381 if G1437 they of Macedonia G3110 come G2064 with me, and find G2147 you unprepared, G532 we (that we say G3004 not, you) should be ashamed G2617 in this G3588 same G5026 confident G5287 boasting. G2746

I thank G2168 my God G2316 always G3842 on G4012 your G5216 behalf, G4012 for the grace G5485 of God G2316 which G3588 is given G1325 you by Jesus G2424 Christ; G5547

For what G5101 is our hope, G1680 or G2228 joy, G5479 or G2228 crown G4735 of rejoicing? G2746 Are not even G2532 you in the presence G1715 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 at G1722 his coming? G3952

Nevertheless G235 God, G2316 that comforts G3870 those G3588 that are cast G5011 down, G5011 comforted G3870 us by the coming G3952 of Titus; G5103

And not by his coming G3952 only, G3440 but by the consolation G3874 with which G3739 he was comforted G3870 in you, when he told G312 us your G5216 earnest G1972 desire, G1972 your G5216 mourning, G3602 your G5216 fervent G2205 mind G3563 toward G5228 me; so G5620 that I rejoiced G5463 the more. G3123

Who G3588 comforts G3870 us in all G3650 our tribulation, G2347 that we may be able G1410 to comfort G3870 them which are in any G3956 trouble, G2347 by the comfort G3874 with which G3739 we ourselves are comforted G3870 of 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

As sorrowful, G3076 yet G1161 always G104 rejoicing; G5463 as poor, G4434 yet G1161 making G4148 many G4183 rich; G4148 as having G2192 nothing, G3367 and yet possessing G2722 all G3956 things.

And they departed G4198 from the presence G4383 of the council, G4892 rejoicing G5463 that they were counted G2661 worthy G2661 to suffer G818 shame G818 for his name. G3686

And not only G3440 so, but we glory G2744 in tribulations G2347 also: G2532 knowing G1492 that tribulation G2347 works G2716 patience; G5281

Yes, G235 and if G1487 I be offered G4689 on the sacrifice G2378 and service G3009 of your G5216 faith, G4102 I joy, G5463 and rejoice G4796 with you all. G3956

Who now G3568 rejoice G5463 in my sufferings G3804 for you, and fill G466 up that which is behind G5303 of the afflictions G2347 of Christ G5547 in my flesh G4561 for his body's G4983 sake, which G3739 is the church: G1577

Therefore, G1223 G5125 brothers, G80 we were comforted G3870 over G1909 you in all G3956 our affliction G2347 and distress G318 by your G5216 faith: G4102

For what G5101 thanks G2169 can G1410 we render G467 to God G2316 again G467 for you, for all G3956 the joy G5479 with which G3739 we joy G5463 for your G5209 sakes before G1715 our God; G2316

My brothers, G80 count G2233 it all G3956 joy G5479 when G3752 you fall G4045 into divers G4164 temptations; G3986
