| 2nd-Corinthians 12:5 | On behalf of such a one will I glory: but on mine own behalf I will not glory, save in [my] weaknesses. | On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body. | Of such [a one] I will boast, but of myself I will not boast, unless in my weaknesses. | For such an one I will glory; but for myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 12:6 | For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or heareth from me. | 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. | For if I shall desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will say [the] truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think as to me above what he sees me [to be], or whatever he may hear of me. | For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth.

Let me have forgiveness for this wrong. | For in what is it that ye have been inferior to the other assemblies, unless that I myself have not been in laziness a charge upon you?

[walked we] not in the same steps? | I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him.

[have we] not in the same steps? | I desired Titus, and I sent with him a brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? did we not in the same steps? |
| 2nd-Corinthians 12:19 | Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ.

For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit. | Ye have long been supposing that we excuse ourselves to you: we speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, for your building up. | Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ; but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 12:20 | For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means [there should be] strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults; | 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; | For I fear lest perhaps coming I find you not such as I wish, and that *I* be found by you such as ye do not wish: lest [there might be] strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, evil speakings, whisperings, puffings up, disturbances; | For I fear lest perhaps when I come I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 12:21 | lest again when I come my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of them that have sinned heretofore, and repented not of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they committed. | 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. | lest my God should humble me as to you when I come again, and that I shall grieve over many of those who have sinned before, and have not repented as to the uncleanness and fornication and licentiousness which they have practised. | Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed. |
