-----
2 Corinthians 3:6
Who has made us able to be servants of a new agreement; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter gives death, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 3:7
For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:
2 Corinthians 3:8
Will not the operation of the Spirit have a much greater glory?
2 Corinthians 3:9
For if the operation of the law, producing punishment, had its glory, how much greater will be the operation of the Spirit causing righteousness?

For the glory of the first no longer seems to be glory, because of the greater glory of that which comes after.

But you have knowledge that with a feeble body I was preaching the good news to you the first time;

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 10:9

2 Corinthians 10:11
Let those who say this keep in mind that, what we are in word by letters when we are away, so will we be in act when we are present.
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:

Philippians 1:17
But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.
