The salutation with my own hand, Paul.

If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes.

Behold, I Paul say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle; so I write.

yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you; being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;

I, John, both your brother and companion in the affliction and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos because of the Word of God and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

But I beseech you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I figure on being bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ. As God is exhorting through us, we beseech you on Christ's behalf, Be reconciled to God.

We then, as workers together with Him, also beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and sojourners, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

And ride prosperously in Your majesty, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.

A bruised reed He shall not break, and a smoking wick He shall not quench; He shall bring forth justice unto truth.

He shall not fail nor be discouraged, until He has established justice on the earth; and the islands shall wait for His Law.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous and having salvation, lowly, and riding on an ass, even on a colt, the foal of an ass.

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest unto your souls.

He will not strive nor cry out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench, till He sends forth judgment to victory;

Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King is coming to you, meek, and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.

The place in the Scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He opened not His mouth.

Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth;

who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but gave Himself over to Him who judges righteously;

Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.

For his letters, they say, are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.

For his letters, they say, are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things of my infirmity.

Of such a one I will exult; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.

And so that I should not be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I should not be made haughty.

And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather exult in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell upon me.

For though He was crucified out of weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.

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

We are foolish because of Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are distinguished, but we are dishonored.

You know that because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first.

Therefore, since we have such hope, we use much boldness;

Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my rejoicing on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

I speak in dishonor, as though we had been weak. But in whatever anyone is bold (I speak foolishly), I am bold also.

I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare;

since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

But Isaiah is very bold and says: I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those not inquiring after Me.

Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,
