1:11. You helping withal in prayer for us. That for this gift obtained for us, by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many in our behalf. 1:12. For our glory is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity of heart and sincerity of God, and not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conversed in this world: and more abundantly towards you. 1:13. For we write no other things to you than what you have read and known. And I hope that you shall know unto the end. 1:14. As also you have known us in part, that we are your glory: as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:15. And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace: 1:16. And to pass by you into Macedonia: and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be brought on my way towards Judea. 1:17. Whereas then I was thus minded, did I use lightness? Or, the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that there should be with me, It is, and It is not? 1:18. But God is faithful: for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not. 1:19. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me and Sylvanus and Timothy, was not: It is and It is not. But, It is, was in him. It is, was in him... There was no inconstancy in the doctrine of the apostles, sometimes, like modern sectaries, saying, It is, and at other times saying, It is not. But their doctrine was ever the same, one uniform yea, in Jesus Christ, one Amen, that is, one truth in him. 1:20. For all the promises of God are in him, It is. Therefore also by him, amen to God, unto our glory. 1:21. Now he that confirmeth us with you in Christ and that hath anointed us, is God: 1:22. Who also hath sealed us and given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts. 1:23.

And I wrote this same to you: that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. 2:4. For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you. 2:5. And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me: but in part, that I may not burden you all. 2:6. To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many.
