Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
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
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 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 ;
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 .
for walking
in the flesh, not according
to
the flesh do
we
war,
For though
we
walk
in the flesh, we
do
not war
after
the flesh :
for the weapons of our warfare `
are '
not fleshly
, but powerful
to
God for
bringing
down of strongholds,
(
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
, but mighty
through
God to
the
pulling
down of strong
holds;)
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 ,
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 ;
and being
in readiness to avenge
every
disobedience, whenever
your obedience may
be
fulfilled.
And having
in a
readiness to revenge
all
disobedience, when
your obedience is
fulfilled.
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 ;
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 .
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 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 :
that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through
the
letters ,
That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by
letters .
`because
the
letters indeed
--
saith
one
--
`
are '
weighty and strong,
and
the
bodily presence weak, and the
speech despicable
. '
For
his
letters ,
say
they,
are weighty and powerful;
but
his
bodily presence is
weak, and his
speech contemptible
.
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.
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
.
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 ,
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 .
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 ;
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 .
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 ,
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 :
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
,
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
,
in the `places'
beyond you to
proclaim
good
news
, not in another's
line in
regard
to
the
things made ready ,
to boast;
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.
and
he who
is
boasting
--
in the Lord let
him
boast;
But
he that
glorieth,
let
him
glory
in the Lord .
for not he who
is
commending
himself is approved, but he
whom the Lord doth
commend
.
For not he that
commendeth
himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth
.
