“ We also are weak, sharing His weakness, but with Him we shall be full of life to deal with you through the power of God.
013:005 Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put your own selves under examination. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you, unless you are insincere? ”

“ We pressed on even to Corinth, and were the first to proclaim to you the Good News of the Christ.
010:015 We do not exceed our due limits, and take credit for other men's labours; but we entertain the hope that, as your faith grows, we shall gain promotion among you— still keeping within our own sphere—promotion to a larger field of labour,
010:016 and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him. ”

“ Nay, even though our outward
man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed
day by day.
004:017 For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is
achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating,
and eternal weight of glory;
004:018 while we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal. ”

“ It is not a profitable employment, but I will proceed to visions and revelations granted me by the Lord.
012:002 I know a Christian man who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows—was caught up (this man of whom I am speaking) even to the highest Heaven.
012:003 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from
the body I do not know;
012:004 God knows—was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable
things which no human being is permitted to repeat. ”

“ I desire not your money, but yourselves; for children ought not to put by for their parents, but parents for their children.
012:015 And as for me, most gladly will I spend all I have and be utterly spent for your salvation. ”

“ Yet for whatever reason any one is `courageous'—I speak in mere folly— I also am courageous.
011:022 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
011:023 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many a time. ”

“ For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?
006:015 Where can harmony between Christ and Belial be found? Or what participation has a believer with an unbeliever?
006:016 And what compact has the Temple of God with idols? For *we* are the Temple of the ever-living God; as God has said, "I will dwell among them, and walk about among them; and will be their God, and it is they who shall be My people."
006:017 Therefore, "`Come out from among them and separate yourselves,' says the Lord, `and touch nothing impure ”

“ And for such service as this who is competent?
002:017 We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.
003:001 Do you say that this is self-recommendation once more? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?
003:002 Our letter of recommendation is yourselves—a letter written on our hearts and everywhere known and read. ”

“ For we are not ignorant of his devices.
002:012 Now when I came into the Troad to spread there the Good News about the Christ, even though in the Lord's providence a door stood open before me,
002:013 yet, obtaining no relief for my spirit because I did not find our brother Titus, I bade them farewell and went on into Macedonia.
002:014 But to God be the thanks who in Christ ever heads our triumphal procession, and by our hands waves in every place that sweet incense, the knowledge of Him. ”
