My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with {you}.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some {others}, epistles of commendation to you, or {letters} of commendation from you?

Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

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.

I Paul have written {it} with mine own hand, I will repay {it}: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

To Titus, {mine} own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, {and} peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

What is my reward then? {Verily} that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

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 beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

And call no {man} your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn {you}.

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.

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

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:

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some {others}, epistles of commendation to you, or {letters} of commendation from you?

And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, {if} the prophet had bid thee {do some} great thing, wouldest thou not have done {it}? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

I Paul have written {it} with mine own hand, I will repay {it}: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster {to bring us} unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present {you as} a chaste virgin to Christ.
