But I dread nothing of these, neither I make my life preciouser than myself, so that I end, [or fulfill], my course, and the ministry of the word, which I received of the Lord Jesus, to witness the gospel of the grace of God.
We fools for Christ, but ye prudent in Christ; we sick, but ye strong; ye noble, but we unnoble.
For I shall give most willfully, and I myself shall be given over for your souls; though I more love you, and be less loved.
For we joy, when we be sick, but ye be mighty; and we pray this thing, your perfection.

But though I be offered or slain on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and I thank you all.
For the work of Christ he went to death, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed of you with my service.
In this thing we have known the charity of God, for he put his life for us, and we owe to put our lives for our brethren.
