| 10:1 | Now I Paul my selfe beseech you, by the meekenes and gentlenesse 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 bee bold when I am present, with that confidence wherewith I thinke to be bold against some, which thinke of vs as if wee walked according to the flesh. |
| 10:3 | For though we walke in the flesh, we doe not warre after the flesh: |
| 10:4 | (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling downe of strong holds.) |
| 10:5 | Casting down imaginations, and euery high thing that exalteth it selfe against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ: |
| 10:6 | And hauing in a readinesse to reuenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. |
| 10:7 | Doe ye looke on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himselfe, that he is Christs, let him of himselfe thinke this againe, that as he is Christs, euen so are we Christs. |
| 10:8 | For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority (which the Lord hath giuen vs for edification, and not for your destruction) I should not be ashamed: |
| 10:9 | That I may not seeme as if I would terrifie you by letters. |
| 10:10 | For his letters (say they) are waighty and powerfull, but his bodily presence is weake, and his speach contemptible. |
| 10:11 | Let such a one thinke this: that such as we are in word by letters, when we are absent, such will we be also in deede when we are present. |
| 10:12 | For we dare not make our selues of the number, or compare our selues with some that commend themselues: but they measuring themselues by themselues, and comparing themselues amongst themselues, 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 vs, a measure to reach euen vnto you. |
| 10:14 | For we stretch not our selues beyond our measure as though wee reached not vnto you, for wee are come as farre as to you also, in preaching the Gospel of Christ. |
| 10:15 | Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other mens labours, but hauing hope, when your faith is increased, that wee shall bee 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 mans 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 himselfe is approued, but whom the Lord commendeth. |
| 10:1 | I Paul my selfe beseke you by the mekenesse and softnesse off Christ, which when I am present amonge you, am of small reputacion, but am bolde towarde you beynge absent. |
| 10:2 | I beseke you that I nede not be bolde whan I am present, & to vse yt boldnesse wherwith I am supposed to be bolde, agaynst some, which repute vs as though we walked after ye flesh: |
| 10:3 | for though we walke in the flesh, yet fighte we not after a fleshly maner. |
| 10:4 | For the wapens of oure warre are not fleshly, but mightie before God to cast downe stroge holdes, |
| 10:5 | wherwith we ouerthrowe ymaginacions, & euery hye thinge yt exalteth it selfe agaynst the knowlege of God, and brynge in to captiuyte all vnderstondinge to the obedience of Christ, |
| 10:6 | & are ready to take vengeaunce on all disobedience, whan youre obediece is fulfylled. |
| 10:7 | Loke ye on thinges after ye vtter appearauce?Yf eny man trust of himselfe yt he is Christes, let him thinke this also by himselfe, yt like as he is Christes, eue so are we Christes also. |
| 10:8 | And though I shulde boast my selfe somwhat more of oure auctorite which ye LORDE hath geue vs to edifye and not to destroye, it shulde not be to my shame. |
| 10:9 | This I saye, lest I shulde seme, as though I wente aboute to make you afrayed with letters. |
| 10:10 | For the pistles (saye they) are sore and stronge, but his bodely presence is weake, and his speache rude. |
| 10:11 | Let him yt is soche, thinke on this wyse, that as we are in worde by letters wha we are absente, soch are we also in dede whan we are present. |
| 10:12 | For we darre not reken or compare oure selues, vnto some that prayse them selues: Neuertheles whyle they measure them selues by them selues, and holde onely of them selues, they vnderstonde nothinge. |
| 10:13 | Howbeit we wil not boast or selues aboue measure, but onely acordinge to the measure of the rule, wherwith God hath distributed vnto vs the measure to reach euen vnto you. |
| 10:14 | For we stretche not or selues to farre as though we had not reached vnto you. For euen vnto you haue we come with the Gospell of Christ, |
| 10:15 | and boast not oure selues out of measure in other mens laboures: Yee and we hope whan youre faith is increased in you, that we wil come farther (acordinge to oure measure) |
| 10:16 | and preach the Gospell vnto them that dwell beyonde you, and not to reioyse in that, which is prepared with another mans measure. |
| 10:17 | Let him that reioyseth, reioyse in the LORDE: |
| 10:18 | for he yt prayseth him selfe, is not alowed, but he who ye LORDE prayseth. |
| 10:1 | And Y my silf Poul biseche you, bi the myldenesse and softnesse of Crist, which in the face am meke among you, and Y absent triste in you. |
| 10:2 | For Y preie you, that lest Y present be not bold bi the trist, in which Y am gessid to be bold in to summe, that demen vs, as if we wandren aftir the fleisch. |
| 10:3 | For we walkynge in fleisch, fiyten not aftir the fleisch. |
| 10:4 | For the armuris of oure knyythod ben not fleischli, but myyti bi God to the distruccioun of strengthis. And we distrien counsels, |
| 10:5 | and alle hiynesse that hiyeth it silf ayens the science of God, and dryuen `in to caitifte al vndirstonding in to the seruyce of Crist. |
| 10:6 | And we han redi to venge al vnobedience, whanne youre obedience schal be fillid. |
| 10:7 | Se ye the thingis that ben after the face. If ony man trustith to him silf, that he is of Crist, thenke he this thing eft anentis hym silf, |
| 10:8 | for as he is Cristis, so also we. For if Y schal glorie ony thing more of oure power, which the Lord yaf to vs in to edifiyng, and not in to youre distruccioun, Y schal not be schamed. |
| 10:9 | But that Y be not gessid as to fere you bi epistlis, |
| 10:10 | for thei seien, That epistlis ben greuouse and stronge, but the presence of the bodi is feble, and the word worthi to be dispisid. |
| 10:11 | He that is suche oon, thenke this, for suche as we absent ben in word bi pistlis, suche we ben present in dede. |
| 10:12 | For we doren not putte vs among, or comparisoune vs to summen, that comenden hem silf; but we mesuren vs in vs silf, and comparisounen vs silf to vs. |
| 10:13 | For we schulen not haue glorie ouer mesure, but bi the mesure of the reule which God mesuride to vs, the mesure that stretchith to you. |
| 10:14 | For we ouerstretchen not forth vs, as not stretchinge to you. For to you we camen in the gospel of Crist, |
| 10:15 | not gloriynge ouer mesure in othere mennus trauelis. For we `han hope of youre feith that wexith in you to be magnefied bi oure reule in abundaunce, |
| 10:16 | also to preche in to tho thingis that ben biyendis you, not to haue glorie in othere mennus reule, in these thingis that ben maad redi. |
| 10:17 | He that glorieth, haue glorie in the Lord. |
| 10:18 | For not he that comendith hym silf is preuyd, but whom God comendith. |
