Verse 12

2 Corinthians 1:12

Bible in Basic English

12 For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God (Elohim); not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the Grace of God (Elohim).

greek
Ἡ γὰρ καύχησις ἡμῶν αὕτη ἐστίν, τὸ μαρτύριον τῆς συνειδήσεως ἡμῶν, ὅτι ἐν ⸀ἁγιότητι καὶ εἰλικρινείᾳ ⸀τοῦ θεοῦ, ⸀οὐκ ἐν σοφίᾳ σαρκικῇ ἀλλ’ ἐν χάριτι θεοῦ, ἀνεστράφημεν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, περισσοτέρως δὲ πρὸς ὑμᾶς·
English Translation
For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in holiness and sincerity from God, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and we conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.
