| 10:1 | Nowe I Paul my selfe beseech you by the meekenes, and gentlenes of Christ, which when I am present among you am base, but am bolde toward you being absent: |
| 10:2 | And this I require you, that I neede not to be bolde when I am present, with that same confidence, wherewith I thinke to bee bolde against some, which esteeme vs as though wee walked according to the flesh. |
| 10:3 | Neuerthelesse, though wee walke in the flesh, yet we doe not warre after the flesh. |
| 10:4 | (For the weapons of our warrefare are not carnall, but mightie through God, to cast downe holdes) |
| 10:5 | Casting downe the imaginations, and euery high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ, |
| 10:6 | And hauing ready the vengeance against all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. |
| 10:7 | Looke yee on things after the appearance? If any man trust in himselfe that hee is Christes, let him consider this againe of himself, that as he is Christes, euen so are we Christes. |
| 10:8 | For though I shoulde boast somewhat more of our authoritie, which the Lord hath giuen vs for edification, and not for your destruction, I should haue no shame. |
| 10:9 | This I say, that I may not seeme as it were to feare you with letters. |
| 10:10 | For the letters, sayeth hee, are sore and strong, but his bodily presence is weake, and his speache is of no value. |
| 10:11 | Let such one thinke this, that such as wee are in woorde by letters, when we are absent, such wil we be also in deede, when we are present. |
| 10:12 | For wee dare not make our selues of the nomber, or to compare our selues to them, which praise themselues: but they vnderstand not that they measure themselues with themselues, and compare themselues with themselues. |
| 10:13 | But we wil not reioyce of things, which are not within our measure, but according to the measure of the line, whereof God hath distributed vnto vs a measure to attaine euen vnto you. |
| 10:14 | For we stretche not our selues beyonde our measure, as though wee had not attained vnto you: for euen to you also haue we come in preaching the Gospel of Christ, |
| 10:15 | Not boasting of things which are without our measure: that is, of other mens labours: and we hope, when your faith shall increase, to bee magnified by you according to our line aboundantly, |
| 10:16 | And to preache the Gospel in those regions which are beyonde you: not to reioyce in another mans line, that is, in the thinges that are prepared alreadie. |
| 10:17 | But let him that reioyceth, reioyce in the Lord. |
| 10:18 | For hee that praiseth himselfe, is not alowed, but he whome the Lord praiseth. |
| 10:1 | 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: |
| 10:2 | 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. |
| 10:3 | For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: |
| 10:4 | (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) |
| 10:5 | 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; |
| 10:6 | And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. |
| 10:7 | 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. |
| 10:8 | 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: |
| 10:9 | That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. |
| 10:10 | For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. |
| 10:11 | 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. |
| 10:12 | 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. |
| 10:13 | 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. |
| 10:14 | 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: |
| 10:15 | 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, |
| 10:16 | 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. |
| 10:17 | But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. |
| 10:18 | For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. |
| 10:1 | αυτος δε εγω παυλος παρακαλω υμας δια της πραοτητος και επιεικειας του χριστου ος κατα προσωπον μεν ταπεινος εν υμιν απων δε θαρρω εις υμας |
| 10:2 | δεομαι δε το μη παρων θαρρησαι τη πεποιθησει η λογιζομαι τολμησαι επι τινας τους λογιζομενους ημας ως κατα σαρκα περιπατουντας |
| 10:3 | εν σαρκι γαρ περιπατουντες ου κατα σαρκα στρατευομεθα |
| 10:4 | τα γαρ οπλα της στρατειας ημων ου σαρκικα αλλα δυνατα τω θεω προς καθαιρεσιν οχυρωματων |
| 10:5 | λογισμους καθαιρουντες και παν υψωμα επαιρομενον κατα της γνωσεως του θεου και αιχμαλωτιζοντες παν νοημα εις την υπακοην του χριστου |
| 10:6 | και εν ετοιμω εχοντες εκδικησαι πασαν παρακοην οταν πληρωθη υμων η υπακοη |
| 10:7 | τα κατα προσωπον βλεπετε ει τις πεποιθεν εαυτω χριστου ειναι τουτο λογιζεσθω παλιν αφ εαυτου οτι καθως αυτος χριστου ουτως και ημεις χριστου |
| 10:8 | εαν τε γαρ και περισσοτερον τι καυχησωμαι περι της εξουσιας ημων ης εδωκεν ο κυριος ημιν εις οικοδομην και ουκ εις καθαιρεσιν υμων ουκ αισχυνθησομαι |
| 10:9 | ινα μη δοξω ως αν εκφοβειν υμας δια των επιστολων |
| 10:10 | οτι αι μεν επιστολαι φησιν βαρειαι και ισχυραι η δε παρουσια του σωματος ασθενης και ο λογος εξουθενημενος |
| 10:11 | τουτο λογιζεσθω ο τοιουτος οτι οιοι εσμεν τω λογω δι επιστολων αποντες τοιουτοι και παροντες τω εργω |
| 10:12 | ου γαρ τολμωμεν εγκριναι η συγκριναι εαυτους τισιν των εαυτους συνιστανοντων αλλα αυτοι εν εαυτοις εαυτους μετρουντες και συγκρινοντες εαυτους εαυτοις ου συνιουσιν |
| 10:13 | ημεις δε ουχι εις τα αμετρα καυχησομεθα αλλα κατα το μετρον του κανονος ου εμερισεν ημιν ο θεος μετρου εφικεσθαι αχρι και υμων |
| 10:14 | ου γαρ ως μη εφικνουμενοι εις υμας υπερεκτεινομεν εαυτους αχρι γαρ και υμων εφθασαμεν εν τω ευαγγελιω του χριστου |
| 10:15 | ουκ εις τα αμετρα καυχωμενοι εν αλλοτριοις κοποις ελπιδα δε εχοντες αυξανομενης της πιστεως υμων εν υμιν μεγαλυνθηναι κατα τον κανονα ημων εις περισσειαν |
| 10:16 | εις τα υπερεκεινα υμων ευαγγελισασθαι ουκ εν αλλοτριω κανονι εις τα ετοιμα καυχησασθαι |
| 10:17 | ο δε καυχωμενος εν κυριω καυχασθω |
| 10:18 | ου γαρ ο εαυτον συνιστων εκεινος εστιν δοκιμος αλλ ον ο κυριος συνιστησιν |
