For the Sonne of God Iesus Christ, who was preached among you by vs, that is, by me, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, was not Yea, & Nay: but in him it was Yea.

For all the promises of God in him are Yea, and are in him Amen, vnto the glorie of God through vs.

And it is God which stablisheth vs with you in Christ, and hath anoynted vs.

Nowe, I call God for a recorde vnto my soule, that to spare you, I came not as yet vnto Corinthus.

Now thankes be vnto God, which alwaies maketh vs to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place.

For wee are vnto God the sweete sauour of Christ, in them that are saued, and in them which perish.

For wee are not as many, which make marchandise of the woorde of God: but as of sinceritie, but as of God in ye sight of God speake we in Christ.

In that yee are manifest, to be the Epistle of Christ, ministred by vs, and written, not with yncke, but with the Spirite of the liuing God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.

And such trust haue we through Christ to God:

Not that we are sufficient of our selues, to thinke any thing, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God,

But haue cast from vs ye clokes of shame, and walke not in craftines, neither handle we the worde of God deceitfully: but in declaration of the trueth we approue our selues to euery mans conscience in the sight of God.

In whom the God of this world hath blinded the mindes, that is, of the infidels, that the light of the glorious Gospell of Christ, which is the image of God, should not shine vnto them.

For God that commanded the light to shine out of darknesse, is he which hath shined in our hearts, to giue the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Iesus Christ.

But we haue this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellencie of that power might be of God, and not of vs.

For all thinges are for your sakes, that that most plenteous grace by the thankesgiuing of many, may redound to the praise of God.

For we knowe that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we haue a building giuen of God, that is, an house not made with handes, but eternall in the heauens.

And he that hath created vs for this thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the Spirit.

Knowing therefore that terrour of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest vnto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences.

For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right minde, we are it vnto you.

And all things are of God, which hath reconciled vs vnto himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath giuen vnto vs the ministerie of reconciliation.
