But as God G2316 is true, G4103 our word G3056 toward G4314 you was not yes G3483 and no. G3756

Why? G1302 because G3754 I love G25 you not? God G2316 knows. G1492

The God G2316 and Father G3962 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 which G3588 is blessed G2128 for ever more, G1519 G165 knows G1492 that I lie G5574 not.

For God G2316 is my witness, G3144 whom G3739 I serve G3000 with my spirit G4151 in the gospel G2098 of his Son, G5207 that without G89 ceasing G89 I make G4160 mention G3417 of you always G3842 in my prayers; G4335

I say G3004 the truth G225 in Christ, G5547 I lie G5574 not, my conscience G4893 also G4828 bearing G4828 me witness G4828 in the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151

Now G2236 the things which G3739 I write G1125 to you, behold, G2400 before G1799 God, G2316 I lie G5574 not.

For God G2316 is my record, G3144 how G5613 greatly G1971 I long G1971 after G1971 you all G3956 in the bowels G4698 of Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

For neither G3777 at G4218 any G4218 time G4218 used G1096 G1722 we flattering G2850 words, G3056 as you know, G1492 nor G3777 a cloak G4392 of covetousness; G4124 God G2316 is witness: G3144

But I determined G2919 this G5124 with myself, G1683 that I would not come G2064 again G3825 to you in heaviness. G3077

And I wrote G1125 this G5124 same G846 to you, G5213 lest, G3363 when I came, G2064 I should have G2192 sorrow G3077 from them of whom G3739 I ought G1163 to rejoice; G5463 having confidence G3982 in you all, G3956 that my joy G5479 is the joy of you all. G3956

But I beseech G1189 you, that I may not be bold G2292 when I am present G3918 with that confidence, G4006 with which G3739 I think G3049 to be bold G5111 against G1909 some, G5100 which G3588 think G3049 of us as if we walked G4043 according G2596 to the flesh. G4561

And having G2192 in a readiness G2092 to revenge G1556 all G3956 disobedience, G3876 when G3752 your G5216 obedience G5218 is fulfilled. G4137

For though G1437 I should boast G2744 somewhat G5100 more G4055 of our authority, G1849 which G3739 the Lord G2962 has given G1325 us for edification, G3619 and not for your G5216 destruction, G2506 I should not be ashamed: G153

For his letters, G1992 say G5346 they, are weighty G926 and powerful; G2478 but his bodily G4983 presence G3952 is weak, G770 and his speech G3056 contemptible. G1848

For I fear, G5399 lest, G3381 when I come, G2064 I shall not find G2147 you such G3634 as I would, G2309 and that I shall be found G2147 to you such G3634 as you would G2309 not: lest G3381 there be debates, G2054 contentions, G2205 wraths, G2372 strifes, G2052 backbitings, G2636 whisperings, G5587 arrogance, G5450 tumults: G181

I told G4280 you before, G4280 and foretell G4302 you, as if G1437 I were present, G3918 the second G1208 time; and being absent G548 now G3568 I write G1125 to them which heretofore G4258 have sinned, G4258 and to all G3956 other, G3062 that, if I come G2064 again, G1519 G3588 G3825 I will not spare: G5339

Therefore G1223 G5124 I write G1125 these G5023 things being absent, G548 lest G2443 G3361 being present G3918 I should use G5530 sharpness, G664 according G2596 to the power G1849 which G3739 the Lord G2962 has given G1325 me to edification, G3619 and not to destruction. G2506

What G5101 will G2309 you? shall I come G2064 to you with a rod, G4464 or G2228 in love, G26 and in the spirit G4151 of meekness? G4236

To deliver G3860 such G5108 an one to Satan G4567 for the destruction G3639 of the flesh, G4561 that the spirit G4151 may be saved G4982 in the day G2250 of the Lord G2962 Jesus. G2424

Of whom G3739 is Hymenaeus G5211 and Alexander; G223 whom G3739 I have delivered G3860 to Satan, G4567 that they may learn G3811 not to blaspheme. G987
