and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

τοῦ tou “the”τὰς tas “the”

I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, (whether in [supplied: the] body I know not, or out of the body I know not, God knows;) such [supplied: a one] caught up to [supplied: the] third heaven.

τοῦ tou “the”ὁ ho “<the>”τὸν ton “<the>”

And I know such a man, (whether in [supplied: the] body or out of the body I know not, God knows;)

that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable things said which it is not allowed to man to utter.

Of such [supplied: a one] I will boast, but of myself I will not boast, unless in my weaknesses.

τοῦ tou “<the>”ταῖς tais “the”

And that I might not be exalted by the exceeding greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn for the flesh, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted.

For this I thrice besought the Lord that it might depart from me.

τὸν ton “the”

And he said to me, My grace suffices thee; for [supplied: my] power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may dwell upon me.

I have become a fool; *ye* have compelled me; for *I* ought to have been commended by you; for I have been nothing behind those who were in surpassing degree apostles, if also I am nothing.

τῶν tōn “to those”

The signs indeed of the apostle were wrought among you in all endurance, signs, and wonders, and works of power.

τὰ ta “The”τοῦ tou “of the”

For in what is it that ye have been inferior to the other assemblies, unless that I myself have not been in laziness a charge upon you? Forgive me this injury.

τὰς tas “the”τὴν tēn “<the>”

Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be in laziness a charge; for I do not seek yours, but you; for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

τὰ ta “what [is]”τὰ ta “the”τοῖς tois “for the”οἱ hoi “the”τοῖς tois “for the”

Now *I* shall most gladly spend and be utterly spent for your souls, if even in abundantly loving you I should be less loved.

I begged Titus, and sent the brother with [supplied: him]: did Titus at all make gain of you? have we not walked in the same spirit? [supplied: have we] not in the same steps?

τὸν ton “the”τῷ tō “in the”τοῖς tois “in the”

Ye have long been supposing that we excuse ourselves to you: we speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, for your building up.

τοῦ tou “<the>”τὰ ta “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”

lest my God should humble me as to you when I come again, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have sinned before, and have not repented as to the uncleanness and fornication and licentiousness which they have practised.

ὁ ho “the”τῶν tōn “of those”τῇ tēa “the”

I have declared beforehand, and I say beforehand as present the second time, and now absent, to those that have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare.

τὸ to “the”τοῖς tois “to those”τοῖς tois “to the”τὸ to “the [same]”

Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, (who is not weak towards you, but is powerful among you,

τοῦ tou “<the>”

examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates?

τῇ tēa “the”

But we pray to God that ye may do nothing evil; not that *we* may appear approved, but that *ye* may do what is right, and *we* be as reprobates.

τὸν ton “<the>”τὸ to “what [is]”

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “the”

On this account I write these things being absent, that being present I may not use severity according to the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for overthrowing.

τὴν tēn “the”ὁ ho “the”

For the rest, brethren, rejoice; be perfected; be encouraged; be of one mind; be at peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
