Thanksgiving and Prayer 3  I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,   4  always in every prayer of mine for you all mak...

2 Corinthians 13   English Standard Version Final Warnings 13  This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.   2  I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them—   3  since you seek proof that Christ is...

2 Corinthians 12   English Standard Version     Paul's Visions and His Thorn 12  I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.   2  I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows.   3  And I know that this man was caught up into ...

2 Corinthians 11   English Standard Version     Paul and the False Apostles 11  I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!   2  For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.   3  But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pu...

2 Corinthians 10   English Standard Version     Paul Defends His Ministry 10  I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!—   2  I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the...

2 Corinthians 9   English Standard Version     The Collection for Christians in Jerusalem 9  Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints,   2  for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year. And your zeal has stirred up most of them.   3  But I am sending [ a ]  the brothers so t...

Encouragement to Give Generously 8  We want you to know, brothers, [ a ]  about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia,   2  for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.   3  For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own acc...

2 Corinthians 7   English Standard Version     7  Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body [ a ]  and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God. Paul's Joy 2  Make room in your hearts [ b ]  for us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.   3  I do not say this to condemn you, for I s...

  Bible Verses Used in Podcast — ESV Matthew 3:11 — Baptism with the Holy Spirit Matthew 3:11, ESV "I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.

2 Corinthians 4 The Light of the Gospel 4  Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.   2  But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.   3  And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled...

2 Corinthians 3   English Standard Version     Ministers of the New Covenant 3  Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?   2  You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our [ a ]  hearts, to be known and read by all.   3  And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with in...

2 Corinthians 2 For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.   2  For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?   3  And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.   4  For I wrote to you out of much afflic...

2 Corinthians 1   English Standard Version     Greeting 1  Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia: 2  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. God of All Comfort 3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of merci...

The Collection for the Saints 16  Now concerning [ a ]  the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do.   2  On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.   3  And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to...

Prophecy and Tongues 14  Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.   2  For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.   3  On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.   4  The one who speaks in a tong...

  The Way of Love 13  If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.   2  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.   3  If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, [ a ]  but have not love, I...

  1 Corinthians 12 Spiritual Gifts 12  Now concerning [ a ]  spiritual gifts, [ b ]  brothers, [ c ]  I do not want you to be uninformed.   2  You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led.   3  Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus is accursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except in the Hol...
