1 Corinthians 13:6
It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;
1 Corinthians 13:7
Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.
-----
1 Corinthians 16:22

-----
2 Corinthians 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;
2 Corinthians 7:7
And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.
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 8:4
Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:
2 Corinthians 8:6
So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.
2 Corinthians 8:17
For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.
2 Corinthians 9:5
So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.
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 1:12
For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.
2 Corinthians 1:13
For in our letters we say no other things to you, but those which you are reading, and to which you give agreement, and, it is my hope, will go on doing so to the end:
2 Corinthians 1:18
As God is true, our word to you is not Yes and No.
2 Corinthians 1:19
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we were preaching among you, even I and Silvanus and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in him is Yes.
2 Corinthians 1:23
But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.
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 9:11
Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.
-----
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 4:10
In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies.
2 Corinthians 4:11
For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death.
2 Corinthians 6:10
As full of sorrow, but ever glad; as poor, but giving wealth to others; as having nothing, but still having all things.
2 Corinthians 6:11
Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians, our heart is wide.
2 Corinthians 10:12
For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.
2 Corinthians 10:18
For the Lord's approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord's opinion of him.
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 11:27
In hard work and weariness, in frequent watchings, going without food and drink, cold and in need of clothing.
2 Corinthians 11:30
If I have to take credit to myself, I will do so in the things in which I am feeble.

-----
Matthew 26:41
Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.
Romans 7:25
I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.
Romans 12:21
Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.
1 Corinthians 1:12
That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.
2 Corinthians 2:8
For which cause my desire is that you will make your love to him clear by your acts.
2 Corinthians 11:29
Who is feeble and I am not feeble? who is in danger of falling, and I am not angry?
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;
Galatians 4:11
I am in fear of you, that I may have been working for you to no purpose.
Philippians 2:2
Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;
Colossians 2:5
For though I am not present in the flesh, still I am with you in the spirit, seeing with joy your order, and your unchanging faith in Christ.
1 Peter 4:1
So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;
3 John 1:10
So if I come, I will keep in mind the things he does, talking against us with evil words: and as if this was not enough, he does not take the brothers into his house, and those who are ready to take them in, he keeps from doing so, putting them out of the church if they do.
-----
1 Corinthians 1:17
For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.
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 6:4
But in everything making it clear that we are the servants of God, in quiet strength, in troubles, in need, in sorrow,
2 Corinthians 11:5
For in my opinion, I am in no way less than the most important of the Apostles.
2 Corinthians 12:6
For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.
-----
Galatians 2:12
For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
-----
Galatians 2:14
But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?
-----
Philippians 1:4
And in all my prayers for you all, making my request with joy,
Philippians 1:5
Because of your help in giving the good news from the first day till now;
-----
Luke 3:21
