- 2:1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
- 2:2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
- 2:3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
- 2:4 And that because of false brothers unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
- 2:5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
- 2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it makes no matter to me: God accepts no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
- 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as the gospel of the circumcision was to Peter;
- 2:8 (For he that worked effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
- 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the heathen, and they to the circumcision.
- 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
- 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
- 2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
- 2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
- 2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If you, being a Jew, live after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compel you the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
- 2:15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
- 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
- 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
- 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
- 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live to God.
- 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
- 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Galatians 1
2017年7月28日 by Leave a Comment
- 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
- 1:2 And all the brothers which are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
- 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
- 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
- 1:5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
- 1:6 I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ to another gospel:
- 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
- 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
- 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel to you than that you have received, let him be accursed.
- 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
- 1:11 But I certify you, brothers, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
- 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
- 1:13 For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
- 1:14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
- 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
- 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
- 1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
- 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.
- 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
- 1:20 Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.
- 1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
- 1:22 And was unknown by face to the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
- 1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preaches the faith which once he destroyed.
- 1:24 And they glorified God in me.
2 Corinthians 13

- 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
- 13:2 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
- 13:3 Since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
- 13:4 For though he was crucified through 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.
- 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know you not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be reprobates?
- 13:6 But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.
- 13:7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that you should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
- 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
- 13:9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and you are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
- 13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord has given me to edification, and not to destruction.
- 13:11 Finally, brothers, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
- 13:12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.
- 13:13 All the saints salute you.
- 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
2 Corinthians 12
2017年7月28日 by Leave a Comment
- 12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
- 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
- 12:3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows;)
- 12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
- 12:5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in my infirmities.
- 12:6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he sees me to be, or that he hears of me.
- 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
- 12:8 For this thing I sought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
- 12:9 And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: 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 on me.
- 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
- 12:11 I am become a fool in glorying; you have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very most chief apostles, though I be nothing.
- 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
- 12:13 For what is it wherein you were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
- 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your’s but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
- 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
- 12:16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
- 12:17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent to you?
- 12:18 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?
- 12:19 Again, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
- 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found to you such as you would not: lest there be debates, contentions, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, arrogance, tumults:
- 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall mourn many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
2 Corinthians 11

- 11:1 Would to God you could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
- 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
- 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
- 11:4 For if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.
- 11:5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very most chief apostles.
- 11:6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things.
- 11:7 Have I committed an offense in abasing myself that you might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
- 11:8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
- 11:9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brothers which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so will I keep myself.
- 11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
- 11:11 Why? because I love you not? God knows.
- 11:12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
- 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
- 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
- 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
- 11:16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
- 11:17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
- 11:18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
- 11:19 For you suffer fools gladly, seeing you yourselves are wise.
- 11:20 For you suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
- 11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. However, when ever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
- 11:22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
- 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
- 11:24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
- 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
- 11:26 In journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by my own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brothers;
- 11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
- 11:28 Beside those things that are without, that which comes on me daily, the care of all the churches.
- 11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
- 11:30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern my infirmities.
- 11:31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for ever more, knows that I lie not.
- 11:32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
- 11:33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
2 Corinthians 10
2017年7月28日 by Leave a Comment
- 10:1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
- 10:2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, with which I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
- 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
- 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
- 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
- 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
- 10:7 Do you look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
- 10:8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord has given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
- 10:9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
- 10:10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
- 10:11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
- 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
- 10:13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God has distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you.
- 10:14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not to you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
- 10:15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labors; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
- 10:16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
- 10:17 But he that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
- 10:18 For not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

- 9:1 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
- 9:2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has provoked very many.
- 9:3 Yet have I sent the brothers, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, you may be ready:
- 9:4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, you) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
- 9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brothers, that they would go before to you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof you had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
- 9:6 But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
- 9:7 Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.
- 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
- 9:9 (As it is written, He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor: his righteousness remains for ever.
- 9:10 Now he that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
- 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God.
- 9:12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings to God;
- 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution to them, and to all men;
- 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
- 9:15 Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

- 8:1 Moreover, brothers, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
- 8:2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
- 8:3 For to their power, I bear record, yes, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
- 8:4 Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take on us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
- 8:5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God.
- 8:6 So that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
- 8:7 Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that you abound in this grace also.
- 8:8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
- 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be rich.
- 8:10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
- 8:11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which you have.
- 8:12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man has, and not according to that he has not.
- 8:13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and you burdened:
- 8:14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
- 8:15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
- 8:16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
- 8:17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went to you.
- 8:18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
- 8:19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
- 8:20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
- 8:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
- 8:22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, on the great confidence which I have in you.
- 8:23 Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellow helper concerning you: or our brothers be inquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
- 8:24 Why show you to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

- 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
- 7:2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
- 7:3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die and live with you.
- 7:4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
- 7:5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fights, within were fears.
- 7:6 Nevertheless God, that comforts those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
- 7:7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
- 7:8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same letter has made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
- 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you sorrowed to repentance: for you were made sorry after a godly manner, that you might receive damage by us in nothing.
- 7:10 For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world works death.
- 7:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that you sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it worked in you, yes, what clearing of yourselves, yes, what indignation, yes, what fear, yes, what vehement desire, yes, what zeal, yes, what revenge! In all things you have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
- 7:12 Why, though I wrote to you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.
- 7:13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yes, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
- 7:14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
- 7:15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.
- 7:16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

- 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that you receive not the grace of God in vain.
- 6:2 (For he said, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
- 6:3 Giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
- 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
- 6:5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
- 6:6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
- 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
- 6:8 By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
- 6:9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
- 6:10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
- 6:11 O you Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, our heart is enlarged.
- 6:12 You are not straitened in us, but you are straitened in your own bowels.
- 6:13 Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as to my children,) be you also enlarged.
- 6:14 Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?
- 6:15 And what concord has Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believes with an infidel?
- 6:16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
- 6:17 Why come out from among them, and be you separate, said the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
- 6:18 And will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, said the Lord Almighty.
