KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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 :
And
I ,
Paul ,
myself ,
do
call
upon
you --
through
the meekness and gentleness of the
Christ --
who in presence ,
indeed
`
am '
humble
among you, and
being absent ,
have
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 .
and
I beseech `
you '
, that ,
being
present,
I may not have
courage,
with the
confidence with
which
I reckon
to be bold against certain
reckoning
us as walking
according to the flesh ;
For though
we
walk
in the flesh, we
do
not war
after
the flesh :
for walking
in the flesh, not according
to
the flesh do
we
war,
(
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 fleshly
, but powerful
to God
for
bringing
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 ;
reasonings
bringing
down, and every high thing lifted
up
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the
Christ ,
And having
in a
readiness to revenge
all
disobedience, when
your obedience is
fulfilled.
and being
in readiness to avenge
every
disobedience, whenever
your obedience may
be
fulfilled.
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 .
The
things
in
presence
do ye see
? if any one
hath
trusted
in
himself to
be
Christ's, this
let him reckon
again from
himself
, that according
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 even
if
also
anything
more
abundantly
I shall
boast concerning
our authority, that
the Lord gave
us for building
up
, and not for casting
you
down
, I shall
not be ashamed ;
That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by
letters .
that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through
the
letters ,
For
his
letters ,
say
they,
are weighty and powerful;
but
his
bodily presence is
weak, and his
speech contemptible
.
`because
the
letters indeed
--
saith
one
--
`
are '
weighty and strong,
and
the
bodily presence weak, and the
speech despicable
. '
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
.
This one
--
let
him
reckon
thus:
that such as we are in word ,
through
letters ,
being
absent, such also ,
being
present,
`
we are '
in
deed
.
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 do
not make bold
to
rank
or to
compare ourselves with certain
of
those
commending
themselves ,
but they ,
among
themselves measuring
themselves, and comparing themselves with
themselves, are not wise ,
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 .
and
we in
regard
to
the
unmeasured
things
will not boast ourselves
, but after
the measure of the line
that
the
God of
measure
did
appoint
to us --
to reach even unto 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 not
as
not
reaching
to
you
do
we stretch ourselves overmuch
, for
even
unto you did
we come in the good
news
of the
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 of the
things not
measured
, in
other men's labours ,
and
having hope --
your faith increasing
--
in
you
to
be enlarged ,
according to our line
--
into
abundance
,
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.
in the `places'
beyond you to
proclaim
good
news
, not in another's
line in
regard
to
the
things made ready ,
to boast;
But
he that
glorieth,
let
him
glory
in the Lord .
and
he who
is
boasting
--
in the Lord let
him
boast;
For not he that
commendeth
himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth
.
for not he who
is
commending
himself is approved, but he
whom the Lord doth
commend
.
