2 Samuel 18
Preface - Paul unwillingly entereth upon a commendation of himself, out of jealousy lest the Corinthians should be perverted by false apostles from the pure doctrine of Christ. He sheweth that he was in all respects equal to the chiefest apostles; that he declined being chargeable to them not for want of love toward them, but to cut off occasion from those deceitful workers of taking shelter under his example: that he was not inferior to those, whom they so patiently submitted to, in any of their boasted prerogatives, but as a minister of Christ, in labours and sufferings for the gospel's sake, was abundantly their superior.
2 Corinthians 11

Fullness of joy
Your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. - John 16 v 22.
For my own part, I never knew what joy was till I felt that Jesus had died for me - that he lived for me and reigned for me. The world can give you little joy; but here is fullness of joy.
