I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. | It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast.

| 3. | και οιδα τον τοιουτον ανθρωπον ειτε εν σωματι ειτε χωρισ του σωματος ουκ οιδα ο θεος οιδεν | And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) | I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don't know; God knows), | And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), | |||

But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me. | For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am. | |||

| 9. | και ειρηκεν μοι αρκει σοι η χαρις μου η γαρ δυναμις εν ασθενεια τελειται ηδιστα ουν μαλλον καυχησομαι εν ταις ασθενειαις μου ινα επισκηνωση επ εμε η δυναμις του χριστου | And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. | He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. | And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me. | |||

You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing. | I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing. | |||
| 12. | τα μεν σημεια του αποστολου κατειργασθη εν υμιν εν παση υπομονη σημειοις τε και τερασιν και δυναμεσιν | Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. | Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works. | Truly the signs of an Apostle were done among you in quiet strength, with wonders and acts of power. | |||

For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children. | This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children. | |||
| 15. | εγω δε ηδιστα δαπανησω και εκδαπανηθησομαι υπερ των ψυχων υμων ει περισσοτερως υμας <αγαπων> ησσον αγαπωμαι | And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. | I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls.

| 17. | μη τινα ων απεσταλκα προς υμας δι αυτου επλεονεκτησα υμας | Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? | Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you? | Did I make a profit out of you by any of those whom I sent to you? | |||
| 18. | παρεκαλεσα τιτον και συναπεστειλα τον αδελφον μητι επλεονεκτησεν υμας τιτος ου τω αυτω πνευματι περιεπατησαμεν ου τοις αυτοις ιχνεσιν | I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps? | I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn't we walk in the same spirit? Didn't we walk in the same steps? | I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him.

For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit. | |||
| 20. | φοβουμαι γαρ μη πωσ ελθων ουχ οιους θελω ευρω υμας καγω ευρεθω υμιν οιον ου θελετε μη πωσ ερισ ζηλοσ θυμοι εριθειαι καταλαλιαι ψιθυρισμοι φυσιωσεις ακαταστασιαι | For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: | For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don't desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots; | For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority; | |||
| 21. | μη παλιν ελθοντοσ μου ταπεινωση με ο θεος μου προς υμας και πενθησω πολλους των προημαρτηκοτων και μη μετανοησαντων επι τη ακαθαρσια και πορνεια και ασελγεια η επραξαν | And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. | that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed. | And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way. | |||
