我偕爾時、荏弱驚懼、戰慄不勝、

我居爾中、荏弱驚懼、戰慄不勝、

我居於爾中、荏弱畏懼、戰慄不勝、

然予在爾中、實自慚才短中心恐懼、惴惴不安；

I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.

When I came to you, I was weak and very afraid and trembling all over.

And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling,

I came to you in weakness— timid and trembling.

I came to you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

I also was with you in weakness and fear, and in great trembling,

I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

I came to you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

For indeed he was crucified by reason of weakness, but he lives because of God’s power. For we also are weak in him, but we will live together with him, because of God’s power toward you.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with indignation?If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show my weakness.

On behalf of such an individual I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except about my weaknesses.For even if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I would be telling the truth, but I refrain from this so that no one may regard me beyond what he sees in me or what he hears from me,even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not become arrogant, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble me– so that I would not become arrogant.I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me.But he said to me,“ My grace is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” So then, I will boast most gladly about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may reside in me.Therefore I am content with weaknesses, with insults, with troubles, with persecutions and difficulties for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

Now I, Paul, appeal to you personally by the meekness and gentleness of Christ( I who am meek when present among you, but am full of courage toward you when away!)–

For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. And we pray for this: that you may become fully qualified.

For even when we came into Macedonia, our body had no rest at all, but we were troubled in every way– struggles from the outside, fears from within.

But as God’s servants, we have commended ourselves in every way, with great endurance, in persecutions, in difficulties, in distresses,

When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials, screaming,“ These people who have stirred up trouble throughout the world have come here too,and Jason has welcomed them as guests! They are all acting against Caesar’s decrees, saying there is another king named Jesus!”They caused confusion among the crowd and the city officials who heard these things.After the city officials had received bail from Jason and the others, they released them.The brothers sent Paul and Silas off to Berea at once, during the night. When they arrived, they went to the Jewish synagogue.These Jews were more open- minded than those in Thessalonica, for they eagerly received the message, examining the scriptures carefully every day to see if these things were so.Therefore many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.

When they opposed him and reviled him, he protested by shaking out his clothes and said to them,“ Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!”

Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as God has shown us mercy, we do not become discouraged.

Therefore we do not despair, but even if our physical body is wearing away, our inner person is being renewed day by day.

But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that the extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed,always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our body.For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our mortal body.As a result, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

When they arrived, he said to them,“ You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I set foot in the province of Asia,serving the Lord with all humility and with tears, and with the trials that happened to me because of the plots of the Jews.

because some say,“ His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is weak and his speech is of no account.”

We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.

But you know it was because of a physical illness that I first proclaimed the gospel to you,and though my physical condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as though I were an angel of God, as though I were Christ Jesus himself!

Now while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews attacked Paul together and brought him before the judgment seat,

After they traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

After this Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.
