Let me have your cooperation in prayer, so that many a soul may render thanks to him on my behalf for the boon which many have been the means of him bestowing on myself.

Relying on this I meant to visit you first, to let you have a double delight;

I planned to leave you in order to go to Macedonia, and then come back to you from Macedonia, and let you send me on to Judea.

For, many as were the promises of God, in Christ is the 'Yes' that fulfils them. Therefore, through Christ again, let the 'Amen' rise, through us, to the glory of God.

I wrote to you out of great sorrow and anguish of heart along with many tears not to make you sad but to let you know how much love I have for you.

Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give us the Light of the knowledge of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the face of Christ.

Wherefore also let us seek the honour, whether being at home, whether being absent, to be pleasing to him.

Invested then with such a commission, I beseech you let not the offers of divine favour be made to you in vain.

Let us give no man occasion of evil, that in our office be found no fault:

but in all things let us behave ourselves as the ministers of God. In much patience, in afflictions, in necessity, in anguish,

but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let your heart also expand itself.

For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man,

So my letter was written to you, not on account of the offender nor for the sake of the injured party, but in order to let you realize before God how seriously you do care for me.

But we desire to let you know, brethren, of the grace of God which has been bestowed on the Churches of Macedonia;

and begged me most earnestly, of their own accord, to let them share in the support of their fellow-Christians.

let your abundance be at this time a supply to their want; that their abundance also may be a supply to your want, that there may be an equality,

So let them have proof of how you can love, and of my reasons for being proud of you; it will be a proof read by the churches.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

I who am a person of a mean presence, when among you, but exert myself upon your account, when absent; I Paul intreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, not to let me exert that authority,

Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

Let it not seem as if I wanted to frighten you by my letters.

Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Did I do wrong in taking a lowly place to let you have an exalted one, in that I preached the good news about God to you without accepting any pay?

And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.

I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

I am quite ashamed to say I was not equal to that sort of thing! But let them vaunt as they please, I am equal to them (mind, this is the role of a fool!).

And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

I must boast, although it does not do any good. Let's talk about visions and revelations from the Lord.

For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong.

But let [it] be. I have not been a burden to you, but [because I] was crafty, I took you by cunning.

I desire before God that ye do none evil, not that we should seem commendable: but that ye should do that which is honest, and let us be counted as lewd persons.

Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.
