1 Corinthians 1:7
So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

-----

1 Corinthians 1:21
For because, by the purpose of God, the world, with all its wisdom, had not the knowledge of God, it was God's pleasure, by so foolish a thing as preaching, to give salvation to those who had faith in him.

1 Corinthians 1:25
Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.

-----

2 Corinthians 7:8
For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.

-----

2 Corinthians 1:17
If then I had such a purpose, did I seem to be changing suddenly? or am I guided in my purposes by the flesh, saying, Yes, today, and, No, tomorrow?

2 Corinthians 1:24
Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support.

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?

2 Corinthians 7:13
So we have been comforted: and we had the greater joy in our comfort because of the joy of Titus, for his spirit had been made glad by you all.

2 Corinthians 10:10
For his letters, they say, have weight and are strong; but in body he is feeble, and his way of talking has little force.

2 Corinthians 11:6
But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you.

2 Corinthians 11:8
I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;

2 Corinthians 11:16
I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.

And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.

2 Corinthians 12:9
