15 ¶ And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
