2 Cor. 12.10. I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake. 14. I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's, but you: 15.

Lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented. 17-19.

2 Cor. 13.8. We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. v. 6-9.

Gal. 1.10. Do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 15. When it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood.

Gal. 2.2. I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. Gal.

3.1.

Gal. 4.19. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. v. 11.

Gal. 5.11. I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

Phil. 1.18. What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 20. According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 24. To abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith. 27. That whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. v. 22,23. Phil. 2.16,17.

Col. 2.1. I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh.

1 The. 1.5. Ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 6. And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord.

1 The. 2.2. Even after that we had suffered

before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. 3. Our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 4. As we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 5. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness.

1 The. 2.6. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 8. Being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. 9. For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 10. Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 11. Ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children. 2 Tim. 1.3,7,11-13.

2 The. 3.7. Yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 8. Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 9. Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. Phil. 3.17.
