2 Corinthians 13:7-10 (WEL) Now I pray to God that you will not do any evil, not for the purpose of our appearing successful, but that you should do what is right even though it looks like we are failures. 8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, only for the truth. 9…
2 Corinthians 12:5-6 (WEL) For even if I wanted to brag, yet I will not brag about myself, but only about my weaknesses. 6 For even if I would like to brag, I’m not going to be a fool, but I will speak the truth, but now I will not, fearing somebody would think…
2 Corinthians 11:30-33 (WEL) If I have to boast, I will boast about my weaknesses. 31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. 32 In Damascus, the governor under Aretas, the king, was keeping a constant watch around the city of Damascus,…
2 Corinthians 11:16-21 (WEL) Let me repeat. Let no one take me as a fool, and if you do, at least put up with me as a fool so that I can boast a little. 17 What I’m talking about now, I’m not talking according to the Lord, but foolishly in this confident boasting.…

2 Corinthians 9:6-9 (WEL) But I do say this, “He who sows sparingly will harvest sparingly also,” and “he who sows bountifully will harvest bountifully also.” [Compare Proverbs 11:24-25, Proverbs 19:17, and Proverbs 22:9]. 7 Everyone needs to give according as he decides in his heart, not grudgingly or because he must because God…
2 Corinthians 8:5-7 (WEL) It is not just what we hoped for, but first they gave themselves to the Lord, then to us through God’s will. 6 We encouraged Titus in what he had started, so he would complete this same grace to you. 7 So since you abound in all faith, speech, knowledge,…
