to journey on through you to Macedonia, to come again from Macedonia to you, and be sent by you on towards Judea.

Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?

I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.

We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

So then death is working in us, but life in you.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I excel them: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

in hardship and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness;

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?

But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.

And the people shall be like the burnings of lime; like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.

I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint within me.

You said, Woe is me now, for Jehovah has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Terrors frighten him on every side, and have scattered him to his feet.

Do not go out into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear are on every side.

For I have heard the whisperings of many, terror is all around. Proclaim, they say, and we will report it. Everyone at peace with me is watching for me to stumble and fall, saying, Perhaps he will be lured away, and we shall prevail against him, and shall take our revenge on him.

The sword from outside, and the terror from within, shall bereave the young man and virgin, the nursing child and the man of gray hairs.

I affirm, by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die throughout the day.

And I wrote this very thing to you, that, when I came, I should not have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?

For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, evil speakings, whisperings, conceits, commotions;

that it not be, when I come again, that my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, sexual perversities, and licentiousness which they have practiced.

I am afraid for you, lest I have labored among you in vain.

My little children, for whom I travail again until Christ is formed in you,

For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest somehow the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.
