11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
I run in the path of your commandments, For you have set my heart free.
I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth. My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. A haughty man who doesn't stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can't be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples.
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die together and live together. Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?
knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
