2 I went up because of a ^krevelation and set before them (though privately before ^lthose who seemed influential) ^mthe gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run ⁿin vain.

16 holding fast to the ^aword of life, so that in the day of Christ ^bI may be proud that I did not ^crun ^din vain or labor in vain.

5 For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the ⁿtempter had tempted you and our labor would be ^oin vain.
