| 2nd-Corinthians 12:1 | I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. | As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. | To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. | If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed): but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. |

| 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 an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities, | 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 may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me; | For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth.

Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. | And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me. | and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;` most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me: | And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity.

Let me have forgiveness for this wrong. | for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice! | For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 12:14 | Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. | This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children. | Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children, | Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burthensome unto you.

For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit. | Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building, | 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, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections, | 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.
