²⁷ For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.

³² Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

² Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

²² But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

⁵ I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.

¹⁵ I will gladly spend myself and all I have for you, even though it seems that the more I love you, the less you love me.

¹¹ Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows that I do.

⁶ I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I’m not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way.

⁴ You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.
