Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother: to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia:

Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.

We have sent also with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches.

And not that only, but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord, and our determined will:

Either for Titus, who is my companion and fellow labourer towards you, or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.

Wherefore shew ye to them, in the sight of the churches, the evidence of your charity, and of our boasting on your behalf.

I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry.

Besides those things which are without: my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches.

For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury.
