|---|---|---|
To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
|
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in 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?
