τις tis “anyone”

If, however, I were to boast more loudly of our Apostolic authority, which the Lord has given us that we may build you up, not pull you down, I should have no reason to feel ashamed.

τι ti “somewhat”

For we have not the `courage' to rank ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, certain persons distinguished by their self-commendation. Yet they are not wise, measuring themselves, as they do, by one another and comparing themselves with one another.

For we have no power against the truth, but only for the furtherance of the truth;

τι ti “any”

For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.

τινές tines “some”

What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.

τις tis “anyone”

τι, ti “something —”

τι ti “whatever”

Some indeed actually preach Christ out of envy and contentiousness but there are also others who do it from good will.

τινὲς tines “Some”τινὲς tines “some”

If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,
