thrice, that it might depart from me.• [9] And he said unto me, My grace is

• [26] In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
![Page 35: Survey of 2 Cor. 1-13](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163be550346895dd4dd16/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• [27] In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.[28] Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

• [29] Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?• [30] If I must needs glory, I will glory of
the things which concern mine infirmities.[31] The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

2 Cor. 4:7-18• [7] But we have this treasure in earthen
vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.• [8] We are troubled on every side, yet not
distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;• [9] Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast
down, but not destroyed;
![Page 40: Survey of 2 Cor. 1-13](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163be550346895dd4dd16/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• [10] Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.• [11] For we which live are alway
delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
![Page 41: Survey of 2 Cor. 1-13](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163be550346895dd4dd16/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

• [13] We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;• [14] Knowing that he which raised up
the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
![Page 43: Survey of 2 Cor. 1-13](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163be550346895dd4dd16/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• [15] For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.• [16] For which cause we faint not; but
though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
![Page 44: Survey of 2 Cor. 1-13](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568163be550346895dd4dd16/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
