G3588–ὁ–ho

In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “the”τὴν tēn “the”

and through a window in a rope basket I was let down, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.

τοῦ tou “the”τὰς tas “the”

I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago -- whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known -- such an one being caught away unto the third heaven;

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

and I have known such a man -- whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, --

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

that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.

τὸν ton “<the>”

Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities,

τοῦ tou “<the>”ταῖς tais “the”

and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.

τῇ tēa “the”τῶν tōn “of the”τῇ tēa “<the>”

Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,

τὸν ton “the”

and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

ἡ hē “the”ἡ hē “the”ταῖς tais “the”ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

I have become a fool -- boasting; ye -- ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles -- even if I am nothing.

τῶν tōn “to those”

The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,

τὰ ta “The”τοῦ tou “of the”

for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice!

τὰς tas “the”τὴν tēn “<the>”

Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children,

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

and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.

τῶν tōn “the”

I entreated Titus, and did send with `him' the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? -- did we not in the same steps?

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

Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, `are' for your up-building,

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

lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.

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

I have said before, and I say `it' before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having 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 a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

τοῦ tou “<the>”

Your ownselves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your ownselves prove ye; do ye not know your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

τῇ tēa “the”

and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;

τὸν ton “<the>”τὸ to “what [is]”

for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “the”

for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for -- your perfection!

τὴν tēn “the”

because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat `any' sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

τὴν tēn “the”ὁ ho “the”

Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

τὸ to “the”ὁ ho “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”
