Noah Webster's Bible 1833

 

   

12:1It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
12:2I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such one caught up to the third heaven.
12:3And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
12:4That he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
12:5Of such one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in my infirmities.
12:6For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or what he heareth from me.
12:7And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
12:8For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
12:9And he said to 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.
12:10Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
12:11I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended by you: for in nothing am I behind the very greatest apostles, though I am nothing.
12:12Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
12:13For what is that in which ye were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
12:14Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
12:15And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
12:16But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
12:17Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent to you?
12:18I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
12:19Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves to you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edification.
12:20For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
12:21And lest, when I come again, my God may humble me among you, and I shall bewail many who have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness, and lewdness, and lasciviousness, which they have committed.

Noah Webster's Bible 1833

While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
