confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present
with the Lord.

confident, then, and would
prefer to be away from the body and at home
with the Lord.

wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.

By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
Be ye not unequally yoked together
with unbelievers: for what
fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light
with darkness?
Do not be unequally yoked

partnership can righteousness have
with wickedness? Or what
fellowship does light have
with darkness?

Belial? Or what does a believer have in common
with an unbeliever?

I speak not this to
condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live

For, when we were come into
Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side;
without were fightings,
within were fears.
For when we arrived in
Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears
within.
For though I made you
sorry with a letter, I do not
repent, though I did
repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you
sorry, though it were but for a season.
Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not
regret it. Although I did
regret it, I now see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time.
For godly sorrow worketh
repentance to salvation not to be
repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Godly sorrow brings
repentance that leads to salvation
without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how
with fear and
trembling ye received him.
And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers that you were all
obedient as you
welcomed him
with fear and
trembling.
Moreover, brethren, we do you to
wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of
Macedonia;
Now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the churches of
Macedonia.

with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the
fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.
And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
Along
with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.
And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
More than that, this brother was chosen by the churches to
accompany us
with the offering—the
gracious gift we
administer to honor the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.
And we have sent
with them our brother, whom we have
oftentimes proved
diligent in many things, but now much more
diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
And we are sending along
with them our brother whose earnestness has been
proven many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence in you.
Otherwise, if any Macedonians come
with me and find you unprepared, we—to say nothing of you—would be
ashamed of having been so
confident.
Now I Paul myself
beseech you by the
meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.
But I
beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present
with that confidence,
wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
I
beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who
presume that we live according to the flesh.
For we
dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves
with some that
commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
We do not
dare to
classify or compare ourselves
with some who
commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves
with themselves, they show their ignorance.
But we will not
boast of things
without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
We, however, will not
boast beyond our limits, but only
within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
We are not
overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you
with the gospel of Christ.
Not
boasting of things
without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
Neither do we
boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,
Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
I hope you will bear
with a little of my
foolishness, but you are already doing that.
For I am
jealous over you
with godly jealousy: for I have
espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a
chaste virgin to Christ.

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily.
And when I was present
with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from
Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being
burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
And when I was
with you and in need, I was not a burden to
anyone; for the brothers who came from
Macedonia supplied my needs. I have
refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
For ye suffer, if a man bring you into
bondage, if a man
devour you, if a man take of you, if a man
exalt himself, if a man
smite you on the face.
In fact, you even put up
with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.
Thrice was I beaten
with rods, once was I stoned,
thrice I suffered
shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
Three times I was beaten
with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was
shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.
In
weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and
thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
in labor and
toil and often
without sleep, in hunger and
thirst and often
without food, in cold and exposure.
Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my
concern for all the churches.
Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is
offended, and I burn not?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes
with a garrison,
desirous to
apprehend me:
In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a
fool; for I will say the truth: but now I
forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he
seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
Even if I wanted to
boast, I would not be a
fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I
refrain, so no one will credit me
with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
For this thing I
besought the Lord
thrice, that it might depart from me.
Three times I
pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all
patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

with great
perseverance.
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being
crafty, I caught you
with guile.
Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you; but
crafty as I am, I caught you by
trickery.
I desired
Titus, and
with him I sent a brother. Did
Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
I urged
Titus to visit you, and I sent our brother
with him. Did
Titus exploit you in any way? Did we not walk in the same Spirit and follow in the same footsteps?
This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
I told you before, and
foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which
heretofore have
sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not
spare:
Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.
For though he was
crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live
with him by the power of God toward you.
For He was indeed
crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live
with Him to serve you.
Finally, brethren,
farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be
with you.

rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony,
encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be
with you.

with you all.
Amen.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be
with all of you.
And all the brethren which are
with me, unto the churches of
Galatia:
and all the brothers
with me, To the churches of
Galatia:
To
reveal his Son in me, that I might
preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not
with flesh and blood:
to
reveal His Son in me so that I might
preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not
rush to
consult with flesh and blood,
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to
confer with Cephas, and I stayed
with him fifteen days.
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem
with Barnabas, and took
Titus with me also.
Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by
Barnabas. I took
Titus along also.
But neither
Titus, who was
with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be
circumcised:
Yet not even
Titus, who was
with me, was compelled to be
circumcised, even though he was a Greek.
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I
withstood him to the face, because he was to be
blamed.
When
Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned.
For before that certain came from James, he did eat
with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he
withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the
circumcision.
For before certain men came from James, he used to eat
with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the
circumcision group.
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a
Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
When I saw that they were not walking in line
with the truth of the gospel, I said to
Cephas in front of them all, “If you, who are a
Jew, live like a
Gentile and not like a
Jew, how can you
compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I have been
crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
For as many of you as have been
baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
But it is good to be
zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present
with you.
Nevertheless, it is good to be
zealous if it serves a noble purpose—at any time, and not only when I am
with you.
I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
how I wish I could be
with you now and change my tone, because I am
perplexed about you.
For this
Agar is mount
Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in
bondage with her children.
Now
Hagar stands for Mount
Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery
with her children.
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the
bondwoman and her son: for the son of the
bondwoman shall not be heir
with the son of the free woman.
But what does the Scripture say? “
Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance
with the free woman’s son.”
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be
encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.
And they that are Christ’s have
crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have
crucified the flesh
with its passions and desires.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit.
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of
meekness; considering
thyself, lest thou also be
tempted.
Brothers, if someone is caught in a
trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him
with a spirit of gentleness. But watch
yourself, or you also may be
tempted.
Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things
with his
instructor.
Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
See what large letters I am using to write to you with my own hand!
Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with your spirit.
Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with your spirit, brothers.
Amen.

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
That at that time ye were
without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and
without God in the world:
remember that at that time you were separate from Christ,
alienated from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise,
without hope and
without God in the world.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

strengthen you

without end.

forever and ever.

Then we will no longer be infants,
tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the
clever cunning of men in their
deceitful scheming.
Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to
sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity,
with a
craving for more.
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Therefore each of you must put off
falsehood and speak truthfully to his
neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
Let him that
stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working
with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
He who has been
stealing must
steal no longer, but must work, doing good
with his own hands, that he may have something to share
with the one in need.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you,
with all
malice:

rage and anger, outcry and
slander, along
with every form of
malice.

deceive you
with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Let no one
deceive you
with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Therefore do not be partakers with them.
