2 Corinthians 12:17Did I exploit you by anyone I sent you?2 Corinthians 12:18I urged Titus to visit you, and I sent our brother with him. Did Titus exploit you in any way? Did we not walk in the same Spirit and follow in the same footsteps?2 Corinthians 12:19Have you been thinking all along that we were making a defense to you? We speak before God in Christ, and all of this, beloved, is to build you up.2 Corinthians 13:2I already warned you the second time I was with you. So now in my absence I warn those who sinned earlier and everyone else: If I return, I will not spare anyone,2 Corinthians 13:4For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. For we are also weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him concerning you.2 Corinthians 13:10This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.Galatians 1:6I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—Galatians 1:7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.Galatians 1:8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!Galatians 1:10Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.Galatians 1:15But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleasedGalatians 1:16to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,Galatians 1:17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.Galatians 1:18Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.Galatians 1:19But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.Galatians 1:20I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.Galatians 1:21Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.Galatians 1:22I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.Galatians 1:23They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”Galatians 1:24And they glorified God because of me.Galatians 2:1Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by Barnabas. I took Titus along also.Galatians 2:2I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I spoke privately to those recognized as leaders, for fear that I was running or had already run in vain.Galatians 2:3Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek.Galatians 2:4This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.Galatians 2:5We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.Galatians 2:6But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—those leaders added nothing to me.Galatians 2:7On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted to preach the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.Galatians 2:8For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.Galatians 2:9And recognizing the grace that I had been given, James, Cephas, and John—those reputed to be pillars—gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised.Galatians 4:13You know that it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you.Galatians 4:14And although my illness was a trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus Himself.Galatians 5:10I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view.

To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints.Ephesians 6:19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,Ephesians 6:20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.Philippians 1:1Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:Philippians 1:7It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.Philippians 1:15It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.Philippians 1:16The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.Philippians 1:19because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.Philippians 2:16as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.Philippians 2:25But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs.Philippians 2:26For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.Philippians 2:27He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.Philippians 2:28Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.Philippians 2:29Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,Philippians 2:30because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.Philippians 3:2Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!Philippians 3:17Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.
