But I am afraid, that just as the serpent through his deceitfulness misled Eve, so your minds should be corrupted from the sincerity that is in Christ.

But though I am a poor speaker, I am not poor in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things.

But what I do, I will continue to do, so as to give no occasion to those who seek an occasion; and that, in whatever they boast, they may not be found equal to us;

What I now say, I speak not after our LORD, but as it were foolishly, on this occasion of boasting.

BOASTING is proper, but there is no advantage in it, and I prefer to relate the visions and revelations of our LORD.

I knew a man in Christ more than fourteen years ago, but whether I knew him in the body or without the body, I do not know: God knows; this very one was caught up to the third heaven.

And I still know this man, but whether in the body or whether without the body, I cannot tell; God knows;

Of such a person, I will boast; but of myself, I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

But even if I would desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will tell the truth: but now I refrain, lest any one should think more of me than what he sees me to be and what he hears from me.

Behold, I am foolish to boast but you have forced me: for you ought to have testified concerning me: for in no way am I less than those apostles who are highly honored, though I am nothing.

Behold, this is the third time I am prepared to come to you; and I will not burden you; for I seek nothing from you, but yourselves: for children are not under obligation to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.

But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless as a shrewd man, I caught you with guile:

Since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, he has never been weak among you, but is mighty in you.

But I trust that you shall know that we are not rejected.

And I pray to God that our investigation will find nothing wrong with you; but that you may be found doing good things, even though we may appear as though we were rejected.

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but for the truth.

PAUL, an Apostle, not sent by men, nor appointed by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;

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.

But I want you to know, my brethren, the gospel that I preached was not from men.

For I did not receive it nor learn it from man, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
