Unchecked Copy Box1Co 6:1 - If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord's people?

Unchecked Copy Box1Co 14:26 - What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:16 - I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:18 - But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 1:20 - For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:1 - So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 2:16 - To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:4 - Such confidence we have through Christ before God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 3:13 - We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:8 - We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:10 - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 5:12 - We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:11 - We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:14 - Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:15 - What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[fn]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:3 - I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:4 - I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:8 - Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 7:12 - So even though I wrote to you, it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong nor on account of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:17 - For Titus not only welcomed our appeal, but he is coming to you with much enthusiasm and on his own initiative.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:8 - I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 11:9 - And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:14 - Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:17 - Did I exploit you through any of the men I sent to you?
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 12:21 - I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:1 - This will be my third visit to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:18 - It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 4:20 - how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
Unchecked Copy BoxGal 6:10 - Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
