Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, letters of commendation to you or commendation from you?

Clearly you are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but in tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

For I will not dare to speak of anything which Christ has not accomplished through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles in word and deed;

in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fulfilled the preaching of the gospel of Christ.

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believe, as the Lord gave to each one?

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

For though you might have countless instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

If I am not an apostle to others, yet at least I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who is believing, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent since the world began,

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you into the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,

But even if we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

because of the hope being laid up for you in Heaven, of which you heard before in the Word of the Truth of the gospel,

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