6
For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge: but in all things we have been made manifest to you.
7
Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached unto you the Gospel of God freely?
8

14
And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light.
