2 Corinthians 2:7; 2 Corinthians 3:8-9; 2 Corinthians 3:11; 2 Corinthians 5:8; 2 Corinthians 7:13; 2 Corinthians 12:9 (King James Version)

7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 11 For if that which is done away was glorious , much more that which remaineth is glorious . 8 We are confident , I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
