Obsequiousness called for.

Competitors struck[?] at

I. Cor. IV. 15 to 26. For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel.

16. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

17. For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every Church.

18. Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

19. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

20. For the kingdom of God, is not in word, but in power.

21. What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and in the spirit of meekness?

I. Cor. V. 1 to 13. 1. It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one sh d have his father’s wife.

2. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

3. For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present concerning him that hath so done this deed,

4. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6. Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

7. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators.

10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with y e covetous, or extortioners, or with idolators; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

11. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

12. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

13 But them that are without God judgeth. therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

    I Cor IX. Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?

    are not ye my work in the Lord?

    I Cor IX. 12: ib. 15. 16. 19. 22. 12―If others be partakers of this power over you,

    are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things,

    lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

    15. But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that

    it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man

    should make my glorying void.

    16. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is

    laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel!

    19. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that

    I might gain the more.

    22. To the weak, became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things

    to all men, that I might by all means save some.

    II. Cor. VII 2. 3. 2. Receive us: we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man,

    we have defrauded no man.

    3. I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our

    hearts, to die and live with you.

    II. Cor. X. 8 to 18. 8. For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority,

    which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should

    not be ashamed:

    9. That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

    10. For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is

    weak, and his speech contemptible.

    11. Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are

    absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.

    12. For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some

    that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing

    themselves among themselves are not wise.

    13. But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the

    measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto

    you―

    14. For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto

    you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:

    15. Not boasting of things without our measure, that is of other men’s labours; but

    having hope, when you faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you, according

    to our rule abundantly,

    16. To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another

    man’s line of things made ready to our hand―

    17. But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 18. For not he that commendeth

    himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
