We are fools G3474 for Christ's G5547 sake, but you are wise G5429 in Christ; G5547 we are weak, G772 but you are strong; G2478 you are honorable, G1741 but we are despised. G820

And labor, G2872 working G2038 with our own G2398 hands: G5495 being reviled, G3058 we bless; G2127 being persecuted, G1377 we suffer G430 it:

Now G1161 when they had passed G1353 through G1353 Amphipolis G295 and Apollonia, G624 they came G2064 to Thessalonica, G2332 where G3699 was a synagogue G4864 of the Jews: G2453

And when they found G2147 them not, they drew G4951 Jason G2394 and certain G5100 brothers G80 to the rulers G4173 of the city, G4173 crying, G994 These G3778 that have turned G387 the world G3625 upside G387 down G387 are come G3918 here G1759 also; G2532

And they troubled G5015 the people G3793 and the rulers G4173 of the city, G4173 when they heard G191 these G5023 things.

And the brothers G80 immediately G2112 sent G1599 away G1599 Paul G3972 and Silas G4609 by night G3571 to Berea: G960 who G3748 coming G3854 thither G3854 went G549 into G1519 the synagogue G4864 of the Jews. G2453

Therefore G3767 many G4183 of them believed; G4100 also G2532 of honorable G2158 women G1135 which G3588 were Greeks, G1674 and of men, G435 not a few. G3641

And when G5613 they were come G3854 to him, he said G2036 to them, You know, G1987 from the first G4413 day G2250 that I came G1910 into G1519 Asia, G773 after G4459 what manner G4458 I have been G1096 with you at all G3956 seasons, G5550

Serving G1398 the LORD G2962 with all G3956 humility G5012 of mind, and with many G4183 tears, G1144 and temptations, G3986 which G3588 befell G4819 me by the lying in wait G1917 of the Jews: G2453

Therefore G1223 G5124 seeing we have G2192 this G5026 ministry, G1248 as we have G2192 received G1653 mercy, G1653 we faint G1573 not;

But we have G2192 this G5126 treasure G2344 in earthen G3749 vessels, G4632 that the excellency G5236 of the power G1411 may be of God, G2316 and not of us.

Persecuted, G1377 but not forsaken; G1459 cast G2598 down, G2598 but not destroyed; G622

For we which G3588 live G2198 are always G104 delivered G3860 to death G2288 for Jesus' G2424 sake, that the life G2222 also G2532 of Jesus G2424 might be made G5319 manifest G5319 in our mortal G2349 flesh. G4561

But in all G3956 things approving G4921 ourselves G1438 as the ministers G1249 of God, G2316 in much G4183 patience, G5281 in afflictions, G2347 in necessities, G318 in distresses, G4730

For, when we were come G2064 into G1519 Macedonia, G3109 our flesh G4561 had G2192 no G3762 rest, G425 but we were troubled G2346 on G1722 every G3956 side; without G1855 were fights, G3163 within G2081 were fears. G5401

Now G1161 I Paul G3972 myself beseech G3870 you by the meekness G4236 and gentleness G1932 of Christ, G5547 who G3739 in presence G4383 am base G5011 among G1722 you, but being absent G548 am bold G2292 toward G1519 you:

For his letters, G1992 say G5346 they, are weighty G926 and powerful; G2478 but his bodily G4983 presence G3952 is weak, G770 and his speech G3056 contemptible. G1848

Who G5101 is weak, G770 and I am not weak? G770 who G5101 is offended, G4624 and I burn G4448 not?

If G1487 I must G1163 needs glory, G2744 I will glory G2744 of the things which concern G4012 my G3450 infirmities. G769

Of such G5108 an one will I glory: G2744 yet G1161 of myself G1683 I will not glory, G2744 but in my G3450 infirmities. G769

And lest G2443 G3361 I should be exalted G5229 above measure through the abundance G5236 of the revelations, G602 there was given G1325 to me a thorn G4647 in the flesh, G4561 the messenger G32 of Satan G4567 to buffet G2852 me, lest G2443 G3361 I should be exalted G5229 above measure.

And he said G2046 to me, My grace G5485 is sufficient G714 for you: for my strength G1411 is made G5048 perfect G5048 in weakness. G769 Most G2236 gladly G2236 therefore G3767 will I rather G3123 glory G2744 in my infirmities, G769 that the power G1411 of Christ G5547 may rest G1981 on me.

For though G1487 he was crucified G4717 through G1537 weakness, G769 yet G235 he lives G2198 by the power G1411 of God. G2316 For we also G2532 are weak G770 in him, but we shall live G2198 with him by the power G1411 of God G2316 toward G1519 you.

You know G1492 how G3754 through G1223 infirmity G769 of the flesh G4561 I preached G2097 the gospel G2097 to you at the first. G4386

And my temptation G3986 which was in my flesh G4561 you despised G1848 not, nor G3761 rejected; G1609 but received G1209 me as an angel G32 of God, G2316 even as Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424
