6 G1437 For though G2309 I would desire G2744 to glory, G878 I shall not be a fool; G2046 for I will say G225 the truth: G5339 but now I forbear, G3361 lest G5100 any G3049 man should think G5228 of me above G3739 that which G991 he sees G2228 me to be, or G191 that he hears of me.
25 H518 And if H645 it be not so now, H4310 who H7760 will make H3576 me a liar, H7760 and make H4405 my speech H408 nothing worth?
1 G3004 I say G225 the truth G5547 in Christ, G5574 I lie G4893 not, my conscience G4828 also G4828 bearing G4828 me witness G40 in the Holy G4151 Ghost,
5 G5101 Who G3767 then G5101 is Paul, and who G625 is Apollos, G1249 but ministers G3739 by whom G4100 you believed, G2532 even G2962 as the Lord G1325 gave G1538 to every man?
9 G4904 For we are laborers G4904 together G2316 with God: G2316 you are God’s G1091 husbandry, G2316 you are God’s G3619 building. 10 G2596 According G5485 to the grace G2316 of God G3588 which G1325 is given G4680 to me, as a wise G753 master builder, G2192 I have G5087 laid G2310 the foundation, G243 and another G2026 builds G2026 thereon. G1538 But let every G991 man take heed G4459 how G2026 he builds G2026 thereupon.
13 G1535 For whether G1839 we be beside G2316 ourselves, it is to God: G1535 or G1535 whether G4993 we be sober, G5213 it is for your cause.
8 G1437 For though G2744 I should boast G5100 somewhat G4055 more G1849 of our authority, G3739 which G2962 the Lord G1325 has given G3619 us for edification, G5216 and not for your G2506 destruction, G153 I should not be ashamed: 9 G1380 That I may not seem G1629 as if I would terrify G1992 you by letters. 10 G1992 For his letters, G5346 say G926 they, are weighty G2478 and powerful; G4983 but his bodily G3952 presence G770 is weak, G3056 and his speech G1848 contemptible.
16 G3004 I say G3825 again, G3367 Let no G5100 man G1380 think G878 me a fool; G1490 if G1490 otherwise, G2579 yet G878 as a fool G1209 receive G2744 me, that I may boast G3397 myself a little.
31 G2316 The God G3962 and Father G2962 of our Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G3588 which G2128 is blessed G1519 for ever more, G165 G1492 knows G5574 that I lie not.
7 G2443 And lest G3361 G5229 I should be exalted G5236 above measure through the abundance G602 of the revelations, G1325 there was given G4647 to me a thorn G4561 in the flesh, G32 the messenger G4567 of Satan G2852 to buffet G2443 me, lest G3361 G5229 I should be exalted above measure.
11 G1096 I am become G878 a fool G2744 in glorying; G315 you have compelled G3784 me: for I ought G4921 to have been commended G3762 of you: for in nothing G5302 am I behind G3029 the very G5228 most chief G3029 G652 apostles, G1499 though G3762 I be nothing.
