In this matter I certainly do not praise you. 1 Corinthians 12:18 But, as a matter of fact, God has arranged the parts in the body--every one of them--as He has seen fit. 1 Corinthians 12:20 But, as a matter of fact, there are many parts and but one body. 1 Corinthians 14:15 How then does the matter stand?

In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter. 2 Corinthians 8:10 But in this matter I give you an opinion; for my doing this helps forward your own intentions, seeing that not only have you begun operations, but a year ago you already had the desire to do so. 2 Corinthians 8:14 but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality. 2 Corinthians 8:19 and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in 'the matter of' this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and 'to show' our readiness: 2 Corinthians 8:20 Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in 'the matter of' this bounty which is ministered by us: 2 Corinthians 9:3 Still I send the brethren in order that in this matter our boast about you may not turn out to have been an idle one; so that, as I have said, you may be ready; 2 Corinthians 9:5 I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness. 2 Corinthians 11:6 And if in the matter of speech I am no orator, yet in knowledge I am not deficient. Nay, we have in every way made that fully evident to you. 2 Corinthians 11:12 But I will persist in the same line of conduct in order to cut the ground from under the feet of those who desire an opportunity of getting themselves recognized as being on a level with us in the matters about which they boast. 2 Corinthians 13:1 This third time I am coming to you.
