if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you -- that of the Lord they are commands;

ἢ ē “or”

ἤ ē “or”

and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,

ἢ ē “than”ἢ ē “or”

This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

The sin did I do -- myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?

ἢ ē “Or”

for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me;

ἢ ē “Or”

but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

ἢ ē “or”
