²⁴ Grace be with all who ^(A)love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.

¹⁵ See to it that no one ^(A)fails to obtain the grace of God; that no ^(B)“root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;

^16 (A)Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

¹⁵ and deliver all those who ^(A)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.

¹³ And again,

And again,

⁵ For this reason, ^(A)when I could bear it no longer, ^(B)I sent to learn about your faith, ^(C)for fear that somehow ^(D)the tempter had tempted you and ^(E)our labor would be in vain.

Timothy's Encouraging Report

⁶ But ^(F)now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of ^(G)your faith and love and reported ^(H)that you always remember us kindly and ^(I)long to see us, as we long to see you—

⁵ Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. ^(A)Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that ^(B)Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

¹⁴ For the love of Christ ^(A)controls us, because we have concluded this: that ^(B)one has died for all, therefore all have died; ¹⁵ and he died for all, ^(C)that those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^(D)for him who for their sake died and was raised.

¹¹ More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^(A)reconciliation.

Paul and Barnabas Separate

³⁶ And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit ^(A)the brothers ^(B)in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.”
