And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

The Bible (Old and New Testaments)
2 Corinthians
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ταυτας ουν εχοντες τας επαγγελιας αγαπητοι καθαρισωμεν εαυτους απο παντος μολυσμου σαρκος και πνευματος επιτελουντες αγιωσυνην εν φοβω θεου
Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881χωρησατε ημας ουδενα ηδικησαμεν ουδενα εφθειραμεν ουδενα επλεονεκτησαμεν
I say it not to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881προς κατακρισιν ου λεγω προειρηκα γαρ οτι εν ταις καρδιαις ημων εστε εις το συναποθανειν και συζην
Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881πολλη μοι παρρησια προς υμας πολλη μοι καυχησις υπερ υμων πεπληρωμαι τη παρακλησει υπερπερισσευομαι τη χαρα επι παση τη θλιψει ημων
For even when we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but [we were] afflicted on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και γαρ ελθοντων ημων εις μακεδονιαν ουδεμιαν εσχηκεν ανεσιν η σαρξ ημων αλλ εν παντι θλιβομενοι εξωθεν μαχαι εσωθεν φοβοι
Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, [even] God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881αλλ ο παρακαλων τους ταπεινους παρεκαλεσεν ημας ο θεος εν τη παρουσια τιτου
and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ου μονον δε εν τη παρουσια αυτου αλλα και εν τη παρακλησει η παρεκληθη εφ υμιν αναγγελλων ημιν την υμων επιποθησιν τον υμων οδυρμον τον υμων ζηλον υπερ εμου ωστε με μαλλον χαρηναι
For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret [it] (for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οτι ει και ελυπησα υμας εν τη επιστολη ου μεταμελομαι ει και μετεμελομην βλεπω οτι η επιστολη εκεινη ει και προς ωραν ελυπησεν υμας
I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881νυν χαιρω ουχ οτι ελυπηθητε αλλ οτι ελυπηθητε εις μετανοιαν ελυπηθητε γαρ κατα θεον ινα εν μηδενι ζημιωθητε εξ ημων
For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881η γαρ κατα θεον λυπη μετανοιαν εις σωτηριαν αμεταμελητον εργαζεται η δε του κοσμου λυπη θανατον κατεργαζεται
For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ιδου γαρ αυτο τουτο το κατα θεον λυπηθηναι ποσην κατειργασατο υμιν σπουδην αλλα απολογιαν αλλα αγανακτησιν αλλα φοβον αλλα επιποθησιν αλλα ζηλον αλλα εκδικησιν εν παντι συνεστησατε εαυτους αγνους ειναι τω πραγματι
So although I wrote unto you, [I wrote] not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881αρα ει και εγραψα υμιν ουχ ενεκεν του αδικησαντος [αλλ] ουδε ενεκεν του αδικηθεντος αλλ ενεκεν του φανερωθηναι την σπουδην υμων την υπερ ημων προς υμας ενωπιον του θεου
Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881δια τουτο παρακεκλημεθα επι δε τη παρακλησει ημων περισσοτερως μαλλον εχαρημεν επι τη χαρα τιτου οτι αναπεπαυται το πνευμα αυτου απο παντων υμων
For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οτι ει τι αυτω υπερ υμων κεκαυχημαι ου κατησχυνθην αλλ ως παντα εν αληθεια ελαλησαμεν υμιν ουτως και η καυχησις ημων επι τιτου αληθεια εγενηθη
And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και τα σπλαγχνα αυτου περισσοτερως εις υμας εστιν αναμιμνησκομενου την παντων υμων υπακοην ως μετα φοβου και τρομου εδεξασθε αυτον
I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881χαιρω οτι εν παντι θαρρω εν υμιν
Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881γνωριζομεν δε υμιν αδελφοι την χαριν του θεου την δεδομενην εν ταις εκκλησιαις της μακεδονιας
how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οτι εν πολλη δοκιμη θλιψεως η περισσεια της χαρας αυτων και η κατα βαθους πτωχεια αυτων επερισσευσεν εις το πλουτος της απλοτητος αυτων
For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, [they gave] of their own accord,
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οτι κατα δυναμιν μαρτυρω και παρα δυναμιν αυθαιρετοι
beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881μετα πολλης παρακλησεως δεομενοι ημων την χαριν και την κοινωνιαν της διακονιας της εις τους αγιους
and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και ου καθως ηλπισαμεν αλλα εαυτους εδωκαν πρωτον τω κυριω και ημιν δια θεληματος θεου
Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εις το παρακαλεσαι ημας τιτον ινα καθως προενηρξατο ουτως και επιτελεση εις υμας και την χαριν ταυτην
But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881αλλ ωσπερ εν παντι περισσευετε πιστει και λογω και γνωσει και παση σπουδη και τη εξ ημων εν υμιν αγαπη ινα και εν ταυτη τη χαριτι περισσευητε
I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ου κατ επιταγην λεγω αλλα δια της ετερων σπουδης και το της υμετερας αγαπης γνησιον δοκιμαζων
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881γινωσκετε γαρ την χαριν του κυριου ημων ιησου [χριστου] οτι δι υμας επτωχευσεν πλουσιος ων ινα υμεις τη εκεινου πτωχεια πλουτησητε
And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και γνωμην εν τουτω διδωμι τουτο γαρ υμιν συμφερει οιτινες ου μονον το ποιησαι αλλα και το θελειν προενηρξασθε απο περυσι
But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881νυνι δε και το ποιησαι επιτελεσατε οπως καθαπερ η προθυμια του θελειν ουτως και το επιτελεσαι εκ του εχειν
For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ει γαρ η προθυμια προκειται καθο εαν εχη ευπροσδεκτος ου καθο ουκ εχει
For [I say] not [this] that others may be eased [and] ye distressed;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ου γαρ ινα αλλοις ανεσις υμιν θλιψις αλλ εξ ισοτητος εν τω νυν καιρω το υμων περισσευμα εις το εκεινων υστερημα
but by equality: your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ινα και το εκεινων περισσευμα γενηται εις το υμων υστερημα οπως γενηται ισοτης
as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881καθως γεγραπται ο το πολυ ουκ επλεονασεν και ο το ολιγον ουκ ηλαττονησεν
But thanks be to God, who putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881χαρις δε τω θεω τω διδοντι την αυτην σπουδην υπερ υμων εν τη καρδια τιτου
For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οτι την μεν παρακλησιν εδεξατο σπουδαιοτερος δε υπαρχων αυθαιρετος εξηλθεν προς υμας
And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [is spread] through all the churches;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881συνεπεμψαμεν δε μετ αυτου τον αδελφον ου ο επαινος εν τω ευαγγελιω δια πασων των εκκλησιων
and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [the matter of] this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and [to show] our readiness:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ου μονον δε αλλα και χειροτονηθεις υπο των εκκλησιων συνεκδημος ημων εν τη χαριτι ταυτη τη διακονουμενη υφ ημων προς την του κυριου δοξαν και προθυμιαν ημων
avoiding this, that any man should blame us in [the matter of] this bounty which is ministered by us:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881στελλομενοι τουτο μη τις ημας μωμησηται εν τη αδροτητι ταυτη τη διακονουμενη υφ ημων
for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881προνοουμεν γαρ καλα ου μονον ενωπιον κυριου αλλα και ενωπιον ανθρωπων
And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which [he hath] in you.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881συνεπεμψαμεν δε αυτοις τον αδελφον ημων ον εδοκιμασαμεν εν πολλοις πολλακις σπουδαιον οντα νυνι δε πολυ σπουδαιοτερον πεποιθησει πολλη τη εις υμας
Whether [any inquire] about Titus, [he is] my partner and [my] fellow-worker to you-ward; or our brethren, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [they are] the glory of Christ.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ειτε υπερ τιτου κοινωνος εμος και εις υμας συνεργος ειτε αδελφοι ημων αποστολοι εκκλησιων δοξα χριστου
Show ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881την ουν ενδειξιν της αγαπης υμων και ημων καυχησεως υπερ υμων εις αυτους ενδειξασθε εις προσωπον των εκκλησιων
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881περι μεν γαρ της διακονιας της εις τους αγιους περισσον μοι εστιν το γραφειν υμιν
for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οιδα γαρ την προθυμιαν υμων ην υπερ υμων καυχωμαι μακεδοσιν οτι αχαια παρεσκευασται απο περυσι και το υμων ζηλος ηρεθισεν τους πλειονας
But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881επεμψα δε τους αδελφους ινα μη το καυχημα ημων το υπερ υμων κενωθη εν τω μερει τουτω ινα καθως ελεγον παρεσκευασμενοι ητε
lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881μη πως εαν ελθωσιν συν εμοι μακεδονες και ευρωσιν υμας απαρασκευαστους καταισχυνθωμεν ημεις ινα μη λεγωμεν υμεις εν τη υποστασει ταυτη
I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881αναγκαιον ουν ηγησαμην παρακαλεσαι τους αδελφους ινα προελθωσιν εις υμας και προκαταρτισωσιν την προεπηγγελμενην ευλογιαν υμων ταυτην ετοιμην ειναι ουτως ως ευλογιαν και μη ως πλεονεξιαν
But this [I say], He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τουτο δε ο σπειρων φειδομενως φειδομενως και θερισει και ο σπειρων επ ευλογιαις επ ευλογιαις και θερισει
[Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εκαστος καθως προηρηται τη καρδια μη εκ λυπης η εξ αναγκης ιλαρον γαρ δοτην αγαπα ο θεος
And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881δυνατει δε ο θεος πασαν χαριν περισσευσαι εις υμας ινα εν παντι παντοτε πασαν αυταρκειαν εχοντες περισσευητε εις παν εργον αγαθον
as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881καθως γεγραπται εσκορπισεν εδωκεν τοις πενησιν η δικαιοσυνη αυτου μενει εις τον αιωνα
And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ο δε επιχορηγων σπερμα τω σπειροντι και αρτον εις βρωσιν χορηγησει και πληθυνει τον σπορον υμων και αυξησει τα γενηματα της δικαιοσυνης υμων
ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εν παντι πλουτιζομενοι εις πασαν απλοτητα ητις κατεργαζεται δι ημων ευχαριστιαν τω θεω
For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οτι η διακονια της λειτουργιας ταυτης ου μονον εστιν προσαναπληρουσα τα υστερηματα των αγιων αλλα και περισσευουσα δια πολλων ευχαριστιων τω θεω
seeing that through the proving [of you] by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of [your] contribution unto them and unto all;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881δια της δοκιμης της διακονιας ταυτης δοξαζοντες τον θεον επι τη υποταγη της ομολογιας υμων εις το ευαγγελιον του χριστου και απλοτητι της κοινωνιας εις αυτους και εις παντας
while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και αυτων δεησει υπερ υμων επιποθουντων υμας δια την υπερβαλλουσαν χαριν του θεου εφ υμιν
Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881χαρις τω θεω επι τη ανεκδιηγητω αυτου δωρεα
Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881αυτος δε εγω παυλος παρακαλω υμας δια της πραυτητος και επιεικειας του χριστου ος κατα προσωπον μεν ταπεινος εν υμιν απων δε θαρρω εις υμας
yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present show courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, who count of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881δεομαι δε το μη παρων θαρρησαι τη πεποιθησει η λογιζομαι τολμησαι επι τινας τους λογιζομενους ημας ως κατα σαρκα περιπατουντας
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εν σαρκι γαρ περιπατουντες ου κατα σαρκα στρατευομεθα
(for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds);
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τα γαρ οπλα της στρατειας ημων ου σαρκικα αλλα δυνατα τω θεω προς καθαιρεσιν οχυρωματων
casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881λογισμους καθαιρουντες και παν υψωμα επαιρομενον κατα της γνωσεως του θεου και αιχμαλωτιζοντες παν νοημα εις την υπακοην του χριστου
and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και εν ετοιμω εχοντες εκδικησαι πασαν παρακοην οταν πληρωθη υμων η υπακοη
Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τα κατα προσωπον βλεπετε ει τις πεποιθεν εαυτω χριστου ειναι τουτο λογιζεσθω παλιν εφ εαυτου οτι καθως αυτος χριστου ουτως και ημεις
For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εαν τε γαρ περισσοτερον τι καυχησωμαι περι της εξουσιας ημων ης εδωκεν ο κυριος εις οικοδομην και ουκ εις καθαιρεσιν υμων ουκ αισχυνθησομαι
that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ινα μη δοξω ως αν εκφοβειν υμας δια των επιστολων
For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οτι αι επιστολαι μεν φησιν βαρειαι και ισχυραι η δε παρουσια του σωματος ασθενης και ο λογος εξουθενημενος
Let such a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [are we] also in deed when we are present.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881τουτο λογιζεσθω ο τοιουτος οτι οιοι εσμεν τω λογω δι επιστολων αποντες τοιουτοι και παροντες τω εργω
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ου γαρ τολμωμεν εγκριναι η συγκριναι εαυτους τισιν των εαυτους συνιστανοντων αλλα αυτοι εν εαυτοις εαυτους μετρουντες και συγκρινοντες εαυτους εαυτοις ου συνιασιν
But we will not glory beyond [our] measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ημεις δε ουκ εις τα αμετρα καυχησομεθα αλλα κατα το μετρον του κανονος ου εμερισεν ημιν ο θεος μετρου εφικεσθαι αχρι και υμων
For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto you in the gospel of Christ:
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ου γαρ ως μη εφικνουμενοι εις υμας υπερεκτεινομεν εαυτους αχρι γαρ και υμων εφθασαμεν εν τω ευαγγελιω του χριστου
not glorying beyond [our] measure, [that is], in other men’s labors; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance,
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ουκ εις τα αμετρα καυχωμενοι εν αλλοτριοις κοποις ελπιδα δε εχοντες αυξανομενης της πιστεως υμων εν υμιν μεγαλυνθηναι κατα τον κανονα ημων εις περισσειαν
so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, [and] not to glory in another’s province in regard of things ready to our hand.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εις τα υπερεκεινα υμων ευαγγελισασθαι ουκ εν αλλοτριω κανονι εις τα ετοιμα καυχησασθαι
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ο δε καυχωμενος εν κυριω καυχασθω
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ου γαρ ο εαυτον συνιστανων εκεινος εστιν δοκιμος αλλα ον ο κυριος συνιστησιν
Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: but indeed ye do bear with me.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οφελον ανειχεσθε μου μικρον τι αφροσυνης αλλα και ανεχεσθε μου
For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you [as] a pure virgin to Christ.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ζηλω γαρ υμας θεου ζηλω ηρμοσαμην γαρ υμας ενι ανδρι παρθενον αγνην παραστησαι τω χριστω
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881φοβουμαι δε μη πως ως ο οφις εξηπατησεν ευαν εν τη πανουργια αυτου φθαρη τα νοηματα υμων απο της απλοτητος [και της αγνοτητος] της εις τον χριστον
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with [him].
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ει μεν γαρ ο ερχομενος αλλον ιησουν κηρυσσει ον ουκ εκηρυξαμεν η πνευμα ετερον λαμβανετε ο ουκ ελαβετε η ευαγγελιον ετερον ο ουκ εδεξασθε καλως ανεχεσθε
For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881λογιζομαι γαρ μηδεν υστερηκεναι των υπερ λιαν αποστολων
But though [I be] rude in speech, yet [am I] not in knowledge; nay, in every way have we made [this] manifest unto you in all things.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ει δε και ιδιωτης τω λογω αλλ ου τη γνωσει αλλ εν παντι φανερωσαντες εν πασιν εις υμας
Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881η αμαρτιαν εποιησα εμαυτον ταπεινων ινα υμεις υψωθητε οτι δωρεαν το του θεου ευαγγελιον ευηγγελισαμην υμιν
I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them] that I might minister unto you;
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881αλλας εκκλησιας εσυλησα λαβων οψωνιον προς την υμων διακονιαν
and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and [so] will I keep [myself].
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881και παρων προς υμας και υστερηθεις ου κατεναρκησα ουθενος το γαρ υστερημα μου προσανεπληρωσαν οι αδελφοι ελθοντες απο μακεδονιας και εν παντι αβαρη εμαυτον υμιν ετηρησα και τηρησω
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881εστιν αληθεια χριστου εν εμοι οτι η καυχησις αυτη ου φραγησεται εις εμε εν τοις κλιμασιν της αχαιας
Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881δια τι οτι ουκ αγαπω υμας ο θεος οιδεν
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881ο δε ποιω και ποιησω ινα εκκοψω την αφορμην των θελοντων αφορμην ινα εν ω καυχωνται ευρεθωσιν καθως και ημεις
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.
Greek · Westcott–Hort 1881οι γαρ τοιουτοι ψευδαποστολοι εργαται δολιοι μετασχηματιζομενοι εις αποστολους χριστου
And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.
