World English Bible
Now I Paul myself beseech
you by the meekness
and gentleness of Christ ,
who in presence am base
among you, but being absent am bold
toward you :
Now I Paul ,
myself ,
entreat
you by the humility
and gentleness of Christ ;
I
who in your
presence am lowly
among you, but being absent am of
good
courage
toward you .
But
I beseech
you ,
that I may not be
bold
when I
am
present with that
confidence ,
wherewith
I think
to be bold against some, which
think
of
us as
if
we
walked
according to the flesh.
Yes,
I beg
you that I may not ,
when present ,
show
courage
with the
confidence with
which
I intend
to be bold against some, who
consider
us to
be
walking
according to the flesh.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do
not
war after
the flesh :
For though we walk in the flesh, we don't
wage
war according
to
the flesh ;
(
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
, but mighty through
God to the pulling
down of strong
holds;)
for the weapons of our warfare are not of
the
flesh
, but mighty before
God to the throwing
down of strongholds,
Casting
down imaginations ,
and every high thing that exalteth
itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into
captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ;
throwing
down imaginations and every high thing that is
exalted
against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into
captivity
to the obedience of Christ;
And having
in a
readiness to revenge
all disobedience, when your obedience is
fulfilled
.
and being
in readiness to avenge
all disobedience, when your obedience will
be
made
full
.
Do ye
look on
things after
the
outward
appearance
? If any
man
trust
to
himself that he is Christ's, let him of
himself
think
this again, that, as he is Christ's, even
so are
we Christ's.
Do you
look at
things only
as
they
appear
in
front
of
your
face
? If anyone
trusts
in
himself that he is Christ's, let him consider
this again with
himself
, that, even
as he is Christ's, so also
we are
Christ's.
For though I should boast somewhat more
of
our authority, which the Lord hath
given
us
for edification
, and not for your
destruction,
I should
not be ashamed:
For though I should boast somewhat abundantly
concerning
our authority, (
which the Lord gave
for building
you
up
, and not for casting
you
down)
I will
not be disappointed,
That I may not seem as if I would
terrify you by letters.
that I may not seem as if I desire
to
terrify you by my
letters.
For his letters, say
they, are weighty and powerful;
but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible
.
For ,
"
His letters, "
they say
, "
are weighty and strong,
but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is
despised
. "
Let such an
one
think
this, that ,
such
as
we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will
we be
also in deed when we are present.
Let such a
person
consider
this, that what
we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are
we also in deed when we are present.
For we dare
not make
ourselves
of
the
number ,
or compare ourselves with some that
commend themselves :
but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among
themselves, are not
wise
.
For we are
not bold
to
number or compare ourselves with some of
those
who
commend themselves .
But they themselves,
measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with
themselves, are without
understanding
.
But we will not boast of
things
without
our
measure
, but according
to
the
measure
of
the rule
which God hath
distributed
to us, a
measure
to
reach even unto
you.
But we will not boast beyond
proper
limits
, but within
the boundaries
with
which God appointed
to us, which
reach even to
you.
For we stretch not
ourselves beyond
our
measure
, as though we reached
not
unto
you :
for we are
come
as far as to you also
in
preaching
the gospel of Christ :
For we don't
stretch ourselves too
much
, as though we didn't
reach
to
you .
For we came
even
as far as to you with
the Gospel of Christ ,
Not boasting of
things
without
our
measure,
that
is,
of
other men's labours;
but having hope ,
when
your faith is
increased
, that
we shall
be enlarged by you according
to
our rule
abundantly
,
not boasting beyond
proper
limits
in
other men's labors,
but having hope that
as
your faith grows
, we will
be abundantly
enlarged by you in
our sphere
of
influence
,
To preach the gospel in
the regions
beyond you, and
not to boast in another
man's
line
of
things
made
ready
to
our
hand
.
so
as
to preach the Gospel even
to
the parts
beyond you, not to boast in what
someone
else
has
already
done
.
But he that
glorieth
, let him glory
in the Lord.
But "
he who
boasts
, let him boast
in the Lord. "
For not
he that
commendeth
himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth
.
For it
isn't
he who
commends
himself who
is approved, but whom the Lord commends
.
