¹⁹ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them that are puffed up, but the power.

²¹ Now after these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.

²¹ but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.

¹⁵ For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that.

³ And this will we do, if God permit.

¹ This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every word established.

² I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to them that have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

³ seeing that ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me; who to you-ward is not weak, but is powerful in you:

⁴ for he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God toward you.

¹ But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.

² For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me?

²³ But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.

⁵ Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

³⁴ If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.

¹⁸ Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

⁶ We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:

³² that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.

² And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.
