11Our mouth is open to you, O ye Corinthians: our heart is enlarged.

12You are not straitened in us: but in your own bowels you are straitened.

12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections.

13But having the same recompense (I speak as to my children): be you also enlarged.

13Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto my children), be ye also enlarged.

18And I will receive you. And will be a Father to you: and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

18And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
