47:001:017 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? 47:001:018 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. 47:001:019 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 47:001:020 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 47:001:021 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 47:001:022 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 47:001:023 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. 47:001:024 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. 47:002:001 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. 47:002:002 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? 47:002:003 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. 47:002:004 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. 47:002:005 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. 47:002:006 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. 47:002:007 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 47:002:008 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. 47:002:009 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. 47:002:010 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; 47:002:011 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 47:002:012 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, 47:002:013 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
