2 Corinthians 1:12
Paul’s Change of Plans
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of aour conscience, that in holiness and bgodly sincerity, cnot in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.
2 Corinthians 6:3-13
3 agiving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited, 4 but in everything acommending ourselves as bministers of God, cin much perseverance, in afflictions, in distresses, in hardships, 5 in abeatings, in imprisonments, in bdisturbances, in labors, in sleeplessness, in chunger, 6 in purity, in aknowledge, in bpatience, in kindness, in the cHoly Spirit, in dunhypocritical love, 7 in athe word of truth, in bthe power of God; by cthe weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, 8 by glory and adishonor, by bevil report and good report; regarded as cdeceivers and yet dtrue; 9 as unknown and yet well-known, as adying and yet behold, bwe live; as punished and yet not put to death, 10 as asorrowful but always arejoicing, as bpoor but making many rich, as chaving nothing and yet possessing dall things.
11 aOur mouth has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our bheart is opened wide. 12 You are not restrained by us, but ayou are restrained in your own affections. 13 Now in a like aexchange—I speak as to bchildren—open wide to us also.
