Wherefore henceforth we know no man according to the flesh: though indeed we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now henceforth we know [him] no more.

By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and [yet] true;

As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then hath the offense of the cross ceased.

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and [in] all judgment;

But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I know not.
