But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place.For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish;to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

2 Corinthians 12 11-2 Corinthians 12 21
I am become foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I am nothing.Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works.For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except it be that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong.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.And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?But be it so, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.Did I take advantage of you by any one of them whom I have sent unto you?I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.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;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.

2 Corinthians 11 16-2 Corinthians 11 30
I say again, Let no man think me foolish; but if ye do, yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you captive, if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face.I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold( I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.Are they ministers of Christ?( I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft.Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep;in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my countrymen, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.Besides those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches.Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness.

2 Corinthians 3 4-2 Corinthians 3 6
And such confidence have we through Christ to God- ward:not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

2 Corinthians 12 1
I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
