All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| 2 Corinthians 12:2 | I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago — whether in the body I do not know or apart from the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) body I do not know, only (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) God knows — such a man was caught up to the third heaven. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:3 | And I know that this man — whether in the body or apart from the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) body I do not know, only (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) God knows — |
| 2 Corinthians 12:4 | was caught up into paradise and heard unspeakable words which are not permitted for a man to utter. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:5 | On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my (tais | ταῖς | dat pl fem) weakness. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:7 | especially because of the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) extraordinary character of my (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) revelations. Therefore in order that I should not become conceited, there was given to me a thorn in the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not become conceited. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:8 | Three times I pleaded with the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) Lord about this, that it would leave me. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:9 | But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) power is fulfilled in weakness.” Therefore I will most gladly boast in my weaknesses, in order that the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) power of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Christ may dwell in me. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:11 | I am acting like a fool, but you drove me to it. I ought to be commended by you, for in no way am I inferior to the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) “super-apostles” — even though I am nothing. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:12 | The (ta | τά | nom pl neut) marks of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) an apostle were done among you with all persistence, along with signs and wonders and powerful deeds. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:13 | For in what way were you less favored than the (tas | τάς | acc pl fem) rest of the churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this injustice! |
| 2 Corinthians 12:14 | Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking what (ta | τά | nom pl neut) you have, but you. For children ought not save up for their (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) parents, but the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) parents for the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl neut) children. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:15 | I will most gladly spend and be spent on behalf of your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? |
| 2 Corinthians 12:18 | I urged Titus to visit you and I sent the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) brother with him. Titus did not take advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) same spirit? Did we not behave in the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl neut) same way? |
| 2 Corinthians 12:19 | Have you been thinking all along that we are defending ourselves to you? We are speaking before God as those in Christ; and all that we do, dear friends, is for your upbuilding. |
| 2 Corinthians 12:21 | I am afraid that when I come, my God may again humble me before you, and that I will mourn for many who (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) have sinned earlier and have not repented of the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) impurity, sexual immorality, and debauchery in which they indulged. |
| 2 Corinthians 13:2 | I said before when I was with you the (to | τό | acc sg neut) second time, and now, though absent, I say ahead of time to those (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) who have sinned previously and to all the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) rest, that if I come again I will not spare anyone, |
| 2 Corinthians 13:3 | since you seek proof that (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak toward you but is powerful among you. |
| 2 Corinthians 13:5 | Examine yourselves to see if you are in the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? — unless, of course, you fail the test! |
| 2 Corinthians 13:7 | Now we pray to God that you may not do anything wrong, not that we would appear as having passed the test, but that you may do what (to | τό | acc sg neut) is right even though we may appear as having failed. |
| 2 Corinthians 13:8 | For we cannot do anything against the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) truth, but only for the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) truth. |
| 2 Corinthians 13:9 | For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. And this is what we pray for, your Christian maturity. |
| 2 Corinthians 13:10 | Therefore I write these things while I am absent, so that when I am present I may not have to treat you harshly according to the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) authority which the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) Lord gave me for building up and not tearing down. |
| 2 Corinthians 13:11 | Finally, brothers, rejoice, strive for maturity, take courage, be like-minded, live in peace; and the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) God of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) love and peace will be with you. |
| 2 Corinthians 13:12 | Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) saints send you their greetings. |
| 2 Corinthians 13:13 | The (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) grace of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Lord Jesus Christ and the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) love of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God and the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) fellowship of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) Holy Spirit be with you all. |
