    Galatians 1:1-2 (WEL) Paul, an apostle, (an office not given to me from men or through a man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead), 2 And all the brethren who are with me, to the congregations of Galatia.

    2 Corinthians 13:1-4 (WEL) This is the third time that I am coming to you. Every spoken word must be substantiated by two or three witnesses. [Deuteronomy 19:15] 2 I have told you before, and I am telling you beforehand, as if I were already there the second time. Now, even though I am…

    2 Corinthians 12:19-21 (WEL) So again, do you think that we are defending ourselves to you? We are speaking in God’s sight, in Christ, and dearly beloved we do everything for your edification. 20 For I am afraid that when I come, I will not find you as I would want, and that I…

    2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (WEL) So that I wouldn’t become arrogant—because of the many revelations—there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to repeatedly torment me, lest I would be arrogant. 8 I pleaded with the Lord about this, three times, so that it might leave me. 9 He…

    2 Corinthians 12:1-4 (WEL) There is no advantage for me to brag, so I will move on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ 14 years ago (whether in the body, I cannot tell, or out of the body, I cannot tell. God knows) who was taken…

    2 Corinthians 11:22-29 (WEL) Are they Hebrews? Me too. Are they Israelites? Me too. Are they descendants of Abraham? Me too. 23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking like a fool). I am even more, in painful work—greater; receiving stripes from whippings—excessively; in imprisonments—more frequently; even more frequently near death. 24 Five…

    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 11:1-2 (WEL) 1 I wish you would allow me a little foolishness. Please bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy, for I have betrothed you to one husband so that I can present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. Chapter summary: UCRT: “The apostle excuses…

    Len

    2 Corinthians 10:15-18 (WEL) We are not bragging beyond God’s boundaries about other men’s diligent work, but having hope to greatly increase our sphere of influence among you, even as yours increases. 16 To preach the Good News in areas beyond yours, but not to brag about work done in another person’s sphere of…

    2 Corinthians 10:12-14 (WEL) We don’t dare classify ourselves to be that way or compare ourselves with those who speak highly of themselves, but they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves. They are not wise. 13 We will not brag beyond proper boundaries, but according to God’s standard given to us—a…
