Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
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,
Now
by
the mildness
and gentleness of Christ, I
appeal
to
you —I
, Paul
, who
am
humble
when
face
to
face
with
you, but
bold
when
away.
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 ;
I beg
you that when
I come
I
may not need
to be as
bold as I
expect
toward
those
who
presume
that
we
live
according to the flesh .
for walking
in the flesh, not according to the flesh do
we
war,
For though
we
live
in the flesh, we
do
not wage
war
according to the flesh .
for
the weapons of our warfare `
are '
not fleshly
, but
powerful
to God
for
bringing
down
of
strongholds ,
The weapons of our warfare are not the
weapons
of
the
world.
Instead
, they
have
divine
power
to demolish
strongholds .
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 ,
We
tear
down arguments
and every presumption
set
up against the knowledge of God ;
and we
take
captive
every thought to make
it
obedient
to
Christ .
and being
in
readiness
to avenge
every disobedience, whenever
your obedience may
be
fulfilled
.
And we
will
be
ready
to punish
every act
of
disobedience, as
soon
as
your obedience is
complete
.
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;
You
are
looking
at
outward
appearances.
If anyone
is
confident
that
he
belongs
to Christ
, he
should
remind
himself that we
belong
to
Christ
just
as much
as
he does.
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 ;
For even if I boast somewhat
excessively
about
the
authority the Lord gave us for building you
up rather
than
tearing
you down, I will
not be ashamed .
that
I may
not seem as
if
I
would
terrify
you through
the
letters ,
I do
not want
to
seem to
be
trying
to
frighten
you by
my
letters .
`because
the
letters indeed
--
saith
one
--
`
are '
weighty and strong
, and
the
bodily
presence weak
, and the
speech
despicable
. '
For
some
say,
“His
letters are weighty and forceful
, but
his
physical
presence is
unimpressive
, and his
speaking
is
of
no
account
. ”
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
.
Such people
should
consider
that
what
we are in our
letters when
absent, we will
be
in our
actions
when
present
.
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,
We do not dare
to classify
or compare ourselves with some
who
commend
themselves .
When
they measure
themselves by
themselves and compare
themselves with themselves, they
show
their
ignorance.
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 ;
We ,
however,
will not boast beyond
our
limits
, but only
within
the field
of influence
that God has
assigned
to us —a
field
that
reaches
even to
you .
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 ,
We
are
not overstepping
our
bounds,
as if
we
had
not come
to you .
Indeed
, we were
the first
to
reach
you
with
the gospel
of
Christ .
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
,
Neither
do
we
boast
beyond
our
limits
in the
labors
of
others.
But
we
hope that
as
your faith increases
, our area
of
influence
among
you
will
greatly
increase
as
well
,
in the `places'
beyond you to
proclaim
good
news,
not in
another's
line
in regard
to
the things
made
ready,
to
boast;
so
that
we
can
preach
the
gospel
in the regions
beyond you .
Then
we
will
not be
boasting
in the work
already
done
in
another
man’s
territory.
and
he
who is
boasting
--
in the Lord let
him
boast;
Rather,
“Let
him
who boasts
boast
in the Lord .”
for not he
who is
commending
himself is approved, but he
whom the Lord doth
commend
.
For it
is
not the
one
who commends
himself who
is approved, but the
one
whom the Lord commends
.
