Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?

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;

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:

Are they ministers of Christ?(I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?

I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.

For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

I am 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.

Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
