I speak the truth in Christ. I am not lying. My mind tells me that what I say is true. It is guided by the Holy Spirit.

I serve God with my whole heart. I preach the good news about his Son. God knows that I always remember you

At that time Gallio was governor of Achaia. The Jews of Corinth got together and attacked Paul. They brought him into court.

I call God to be my witness. May he take my life if I’m lying. I wanted to spare you, so I didn’t return to Corinth.

Here is what you can be sure of. And God is even a witness to it. What I am writing you is not a lie.

I was appointed to be a messenger and an apostle to preach the good news. I am telling the truth. I’m not lying. God appointed me to be a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

As you know, we never praised you if we didn’t mean it. We didn’t put on a mask to cover up any sinful desire. God is our witness that this is true.

So you became a model to all the believers in the lands of Macedonia and Achaia.The Lord’s message rang out from you. That was true not only in Macedonia and Achaia. Your faith in God has also become known everywhere. So we don’t have to say anything about it.

And I won’t brag about work done by others. If I did, I would be bragging more than I should. As your faith continues to grow, I hope that my work among you will greatly increase.

You know that the first believers in Achaia were from the family of Stephanas. They have spent all their time serving the Lord’s people. Brothers and sisters, I am asking you

I will say it again. Don’t let anyone think I’m a fool. But if you do, put up with me just as you would put up with a fool. Then I can do a little bragging.When I brag about myself like this, I’m not talking the way the Lord would. I’m talking like a fool.

I know how much you want to help. I have been bragging about it to the people in Macedonia. I have been telling them that since last year you who live in Achaia were ready to give. You are so excited that it has stirred up most of them to take action.

Apollos wanted to go to Achaia. The brothers and sisters agreed with him. They wrote to the believers there. They asked them to welcome him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who had become believers by God’s grace.

You are witnesses of how we lived among you believers. God is also a witness that we were holy and godly and without blame.

All this time, have you been thinking that I’ve been speaking up for myself? No, I’ve been speaking with God as my witness. I’ve been speaking like a believer in Christ. Dear friends, everything I do is to help you become stronger.

I, Paul, am writing this letter. I am an apostle of Christ Jesus just as God planned. Timothy our brother joins me in writing. We are sending this letter to you, the members of God’s church in Corinth. It is also for all God’s holy people everywhere in Achaia.

But I haven’t used any of those rights. And I’m not writing because I hope you will do things like that for me. I would rather die than allow anyone to take away my pride in my work.But when I preach the good news, I can’t brag. I have to preach it. How terrible it will be for me if I do not preach the good news!If I preach because I want to, I get a reward. If I preach because I have to, I’m only doing my duty.Then what reward do I get? Here is what it is. I am able to preach the good news free of charge. And I can do this without using all my rights as a person who preaches the good news.

And I will keep on doing what I’m doing. That will stop those who claim they have things to brag about. They think they have a chance to be considered equal with us.

I am not lying. The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows this. May God be praised forever.

Greet also the church that meets in the house of Priscilla and Aquila. Greet my dear friend Epenetus. He was the first person in Asia Minor to become a believer in Christ.
