I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn't find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.

For we are a sweet aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;

to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah.

who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Yisra'el could not look steadfastly on the face of Moshe for the glory of his face; which was passing away:

For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

For most assuredly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.

For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Messiah it passes away.

For we don't preach ourselves, but Messiah Yeshua as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Yeshua' sake.

For we who live are always delivered to death for Yeshua' sake, that the life also of Yeshua may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

while we don't look 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 the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

For most assuredly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;

For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

for we walk by faith, not by sight.
