2 Corinthians 12:20
For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;
2 Corinthians 12:21
And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.
Galatians 5:19
Now the works of the flesh are clear, which are these: evil desire, unclean things, wrong use of the senses,
Galatians 5:20
Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,
Romans 2:8
But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,
Romans 7:10
And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:
Romans 11:22
See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.
1 Corinthians 1:10
Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.
1 Corinthians 3:3
Because you are still in the flesh: for when there is envy and division among you, are you not still walking after the way of the flesh, even as natural men?
James 3:14
But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

1 Peter 2:11
My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;

2 Corinthians 12:18
I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?
2 Corinthians 13:1
This is the third time that I am coming to you. From the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be made certain.
2 Corinthians 5:11
Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.
2 Corinthians 5:12
We are not again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart.
2 Corinthians 12:11
I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.
2 Corinthians 7:1
Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God.
Deuteronomy 19:15
One witness may not make a statement against a man in relation to any sin or wrongdoing which he has done: on the word of two or three witnesses a question is to be judged.

Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58
For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.
2 Corinthians 11:1
Put up with me if I am a little foolish: but, truly, you do put up with me.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
-----
2 Corinthians 13:2
I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;
2 Corinthians 2:17
For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.
2 Corinthians 12:16
But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.
2 Corinthians 12:17
Did I make a profit out of you by any of those whom I sent to you?
2 Corinthians 3:1
Do we seem to be again attempting to put ourselves in the right? or have we need, as some have, of letters of approval to you or from you?

Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.
1 Corinthians 4:14
I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.
1 Corinthians 9:15
But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.
2 Corinthians 2:3
And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.
2 Corinthians 10:7
Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is.
2 Corinthians 11:13
For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:23
Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.
-----
2 Corinthians 13:7
Now our prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that it may be put to our credit, but so that you may do what is right, whatever we may seem.
2 Corinthians 13:8
Because we are able to do nothing against what is true, but only for it.
2 Corinthians 2:1
But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.
1 Corinthians 7:5
Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.
2 Corinthians 6:5
In blows, in prisons, in attacks, in hard work, in watchings, in going without food;
2 Corinthians 13:13
All the saints send their love to you.
-----
2 Corinthians 13:3
Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:
2 Corinthians 10:8
For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:
2 Corinthians 12:13
For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong.
2 Corinthians 12:14
This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.
2 Corinthians 12:15
And I will gladly give all I have for your souls. If I have the more love for you, am I to be loved the less?
2 Corinthians 13:9
For we are glad when we are feeble and you are strong: and this is our prayer, even that you may be made complete.
2 Corinthians 13:10
For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.
2 Corinthians 13:11
Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:5
Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?
1 Corinthians 10:14
For this cause, my dear brothers, give no worship to false gods.
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.
2 Corinthians 10:1
Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:
-----
Romans 14:19
So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another.
1 Corinthians 14:26
What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.
Romans 15:1
We who are strong have to be a support to the feeble, and not give pleasure to ourselves.
Romans 15:2

We are free to do all things, but there are things which it is not wise to do. We are free to do all things, but not all things are for the common good.
1 Corinthians 3:9
For we are workers with God: you are God's planting, God's building.
1 Corinthians 3:10
In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it. But let every man take care what he puts on it.
1 Corinthians 3:13
Every man's work will be made clear in that day, because it will be tested by fire; and the fire itself will make clear the quality of every man's work.
Jude 1:20
But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit,
-----

As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 12:2
I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.
2 Corinthians 12:3
And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),
2 Corinthians 12:4
How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.
2 Corinthians 12:5

1 Corinthians 14:5

1 Timothy 1:4
Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;
-----
2 Corinthians 12:7
And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.
2 Corinthians 12:8
And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.

So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.
1 Corinthians 10:13

-----
1 Corinthians 8:1
Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.
1 Corinthians 4:6
My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

For if we are foolish, it is to God; or if we are serious, it is for you.
2 Corinthians 7:11
