47:009:012 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the
want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings
unto God;
47:009:013 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God
for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and
for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
47:009:014 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
47:009:015 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
47:010:001 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
47:010:002 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
47:010:003 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the
flesh:
47:010:004 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty
through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
47:010:005 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
47:010:006 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
