¹⁵ And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;

¹¹ For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

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.

²⁹ And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.

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.

¹ And working together `with him' we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain

²⁵ And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;

²⁶ that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
