1 Therefore, having these promises, most beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God. 2 Consider us. We have injured no one; we have corrupted no one; we have defrauded no one. 3 I am not saying this to your condemnation. […]

1 And so we are making known to you, brothers, the grace of God that has been given in the churches of Macedonia. 2 For within a great experience of tribulation, they have had an abundance of joy, and their profound poverty has only increased the richness of their simplicity. 3 And I bear witness […]

1 Now, concerning the ministry that is done toward the saints, it is not necessary for me to write to you. 2 For I know your willing mind. I glory about you, concerning this, to the Macedonians. For Achaia has also been prepared, for the past year. And your example has inspired very many others. […]

1 But I myself, Paul, am begging you, through the meekness and modesty of Christ. I am certainly, by appearances, lowly among you, yet I have confidence in you, even while I am absent. 2 So I am petitioning you, lest I be bold, when present, with that bold confidence that I am considered to […]

1 Behold, this is the third time that I am coming to you. By the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word shall stand. 2 I have preached when present, and I will preach now while absent, to those who sinned before, and to all the others, because, when I arrive again, I will […]

1 Paul, called as an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God; and Sosthenes, a brother: 2 to the Church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints with all who are invoking the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs […]

1 And so, brothers, when I came to you, announcing to you the testimony of Christ, I did not bring exalted words or lofty wisdom. 2 For I did not judge myself to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and […]

1 And so, brothers, I was not able to speak to you as if to those who are spiritual, but rather as if to those who are carnal. For you are like infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food. For you were not yet able. And indeed, even now, […]
