2 For if £ make you sorry, who is he_ then -that maketh me glad, but ~4the_ same_which is_made_sorry by me?
8 And I_wrote this same unto_you, lest, -swhen_I_came, I_'should _ have sorrow from them_ of.whom I ~ought to_rejoice ; “having_confidence in you all, that “my joy is the joy of_you all.
4 For out_of much ‘affliction and anguish of_heart I_wrote unto_you with many tears; not that ye_-should_ be_m grieved, but that ye_-might_know the love which I_have more_abundant- ly unto you.
5 But if any have_caused_s grief, he_ hath not grieved me, but in part: that I_may not overcharge you all.
6 Sufficient to_-such @ man is this repunishment, which was inflicted » of rmany.
7 So_that contrariwise ye ought rather to_*forgive him, and scomfort him, lest _perhaps -such_a_one ‘should_ be_swallowed_ up with_-overmuch sor- row.
8 Wherefore I_beseech you that_ye_ would_confirm your love toward him.
9 For te -this_end also” did_I_write, that I_-might_know the proof of_you, whether ye_be obedient in all_things.
10 ,bTo_whom ye_forgive any_thing, E forgive also: for ,cif E “forgave any_ thing, to_whom I_‘forgave 7t, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of_ Christ ;
11 Lest -Satan -should_get_an_advan- tage_of_us: for we_are not ignorant_of his «devices,
22 Furthermore, *+when_I_came to -Troas to preach «Christ’s gospel, and a door “was_opened unto_me ‘of the Lord,
13 J_‘had no rest in_my cause I found not Titus my -brother: but “taking_my-_leave_of them, I_went_ from_thence into Macedonia.

4 And such ¢ trust have_we through Christ to “Godward :
5 Not that we_are sufficient / of witb selves to.think any_thing as of our-
selves ; but our esuifticiency is of God :|/
6 Who also hath made us sable mini- sters of_the.new c¢ testament; not of_
the_letter, but of-the_Spirit : for the as
letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth_life. 7 But if the ministration of- -death,
i=written and ‘“engraven in stones, 5
c«was glorious, so_that the so children
28-35. of_Israél 'could not stedfastly_behold |i.
the face of_Moses 4 for the glory of_his countenance; ‘which glory was_to_ be_done_away :
8 How shall not the ministration of_ the Spirit be rather ™ glorious ?
® For if the ministration of_-con- demnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of_-righteousness ex- ceed in glory.
10 For even that_which “was_made_ glorious “had no glory in this ~respect, by_reason_of the glory that excelleth.
ll For if ~4that_which is_done_away ‘was glorious, much more v+that_which remaineth in zs glorious.
12 Seeing then that-we_have such hope, we_use great plainness_of_speech :
13 And not «as Moses, which ~put a
vail over his «face that the schildren|,
of_Israél -could not stedfastly_look to the end of_-that_which is_abolished :
14 But their “minds were_' blinded :
For until this day remaineth the same vail suntaken_away ¢°in the reading of_ the old ctestament ; which vail is_done_ away in Christ.
15 But even unto this_day, when Moses is_read, the vail / is upon their -heart.
16 Nevertheless when it_shall_turn to Jthe Lorp, the vail ‘shall_be_taken_ away.
Ww N ow the Lord is that
where the Spirit of_J the_Lorp 7s, there |*-
is liberty.
18 But we all, with_« “open face be- holding_as_in_a_™ glass the glory of_ ‘the_Lorp, are_t changed_into the same image from glory to glory, even_as / by

7 But we_have this earthen vessels, that the excellency of_ the power may be of_-God, and not of us.
8 We are p+troubled on every-side,
yet not s4distressed ; we are +perplexed,
but not +in _despair :
9 Persecuted, but not -forsaken ;
’| scast down, but not +destroyed ;
_| 10 Always bearing_about in the body the pu dying of_the Lord Jesus, that the
life also of.Jesus ‘might_be_made_
manifest in our -body.
1 For we which live are alway de-
livered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that
the life also of_-Jesus -might_be_made_
manifest in our -mortal flesh.
12 So_then ~-death worketh in us, but
— in you.
13 ,b We_having the same spirit of_ faith, according_as -it_“is_written, “I_ BELIEVED, and THEREFORE ‘HAVE _I _ SPOREN ; ” ne also believe, and therefore
speak
4 “Knowing that He_which -+raised_ up the Lord Jesus shall_raise_up us also ‘by Jesus, and shall_present us with

V7 For our light -affliction, which_is_ but_for_a_moment, worketh for_us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of_
glory ;
18 1 While we look not at -+the_things_ which are_seen, but at -the_things_ which are not seen: for the_things_ which are_seen are temporal; but the_ things_which are not seen are eternal.
FOR we_‘know that if our -earthly house of_this_tabernacle -were_ dissolved, we_have a building of God. a house not_made_with_ hands, eternal in the heavens. .| 2 For .cin this we_groan, earnestly_ desiring to_-be_clothed_upon_with our h house which_is from heaven : 3 If so_be ,«that -+being_clothed we_ shall not be_found naked. 4 For ,4we «that are in this «taber- nacle do_groan, being_burdened: not for_that we_'would “be_ unclothed, but -clothed_upon, that ~mortality -might_ be_swallowed_up 4 of -life.
5 Now He_that -hath_wrought us for -|the_selfsame thing is God, who also mee unto_us the earnest of_the
irit.
F Therefore we are always +confident, aa home in the body, we_are_absent from the Lord:

° Wherefore ,»*we-_«rlabour, that,
whether « +present or absent, we_may_ be w accepted of_Him.

iL “Knowing therefore the / terror of_ the Lord, we_persuade men. But we_ ‘are_made_manifest unto_God ; and I_ trust also “are_made_manifest in your “consciences.
12 For we_commend not ourselves again unto_you, but +give you oceasion to_glory on our behalf, that ye_may_ have somewhat to answer ++them _ which glory in appearance, and not in_ heart.
13 For whether we_-be_beside_our- selves, it is to_God: or_whether we_be_ sober, it is for_your_cause.
14 For the love of_-Christ constrain- eth us ; because_we thus judge, that if one died for all, ‘then were all -dead
15 And that He_died for that -4they_which live ‘should not_hénce- forth live unto_themselves, but unto_ Him_which «died for them, and -+rose_
again.
16 Wherefore henceforth “know we no_o man ¢ after the flesh: yea, though at we_have_known Christ «after. the flesh, yet now henceforth know_we H a
no / more.
W Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new ccreature: -old_things are passed_away ; behold, -all_things “are_ become new,
18 And -all_things are of -God, who -shath_reconciled us to_Himself ‘by Jesus Christ, and -shath_given to_us the ministry of_ =reconciliation ;
19 To_wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto_Himself, not
imputing their -trespasses unto_them ; ae
and -shath_committed unto us the word of_-reconciliation.
2 thNow_then we_are_ambassadors for Christ, as_though -God +did_beseech you tby us: we_'pray you in Christ’s stead, “-Be_ye_reconciled to_-God.”
2t For He_hath_made Him to be asin for us, who «knew no sin; that we 'might_he «_made the righteousness of_ God in Him.
WE then, as +workers_together with Him, ‘beseech you also that_ ye receive not the grace of_-God in yain. 2 (For He_saith, “I_have_HEARD THEE IN_A_TIME ACCEPTED,
AND IN the DAY OF_SALVATION have I_sUCCOURED THEE :” behold, now ts the w accepted time ; behold now is the day of_salvation.)
