| 10:1 | I Paul my selfe beseche you by the mekenesse & softenesse of Christ, which whan I am present amonge you, am of no reputacyon: but am bolde towarde you beynge absent. |
| 10:2 | I beseche you, that I nede not to be bolde whan I am presente, with that same boldnesse, wherewith I am supposed to haue bene bolde, agaynst some, which repute vs as though we walked carnally. |
| 10:3 | For though we walke in the flesshe, yet we do not warre flesshly. |
| 10:4 | For the weapens of oure warrefare are not carnall thynges, but thynges myghty in God, to cast downe stronge holdes, |
| 10:5 | wherewith we ouerthrowe councels and euery hye thynge that exalteth it selfe agaynst the knowledge of God, and brynge into captiuyte all ymaginacion to the obedience of Christ, |
| 10:6 | & are ready to take vengeaunce on all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfylled. |
| 10:7 | Loke ye on thinges after the vtter appearaunce? If any man trust in hym selfe, that he is Christes, lett hym consyder thys agayne of him selfe, that as he is Christes, euen so, are we Christes. |
| 10:8 | For though I boaste my selfe somwhat more of oure auctorite (which the Lorde hath geuen vs to edifye, and not to destroye you) it shall not be to my shame: |
| 10:9 | lest I shulde seme as though I wente aboute to make you afrayede with letters. |
| 10:10 | For the epistles (sayth he) are sore, and stronge: but hys bodelye presence is weake, and hys speache rude. |
| 10:11 | Lett hym that is soche thynke on thys wyse: that as we are in wordes by letters, when we are absent, soche are we in dedes, when we are present. |
| 10:12 | For we cannot fynde in our hertes to make oure selnes of the nomber of them, or to compare oure selues to them, which prayse them selues. Neuerthelesse, whyle they measure them selues wt them selues, and compare them selues with them selues, they vnderstande nought. |
| 10:13 | But we will not reioyce aboue measure: but accordynge to the measure of the rule, which God hath distributed vnto vs, a measure to reache euen vnto you. |
| 10:14 | For we stretch not out our selues beyonde measure, as though we reached nott vnto you. For euen to you also haue we come wt the gospell of Christ, |
| 10:15 | and we boast not our selues out of measure of other mennes labours: Yee, and we hope it wyll come to passe, that when your faith is increased amonge you, we shalbe magnifyed accordynge to oure measure, more largely, |
| 10:16 | and that I shall preache the Gospell in those regions which are beyonde you: & not to boast of those thynges, which by another mans measure are prepared allready. |
| 10:17 | But let him that reioyseth, reioyse in the Lorde. |
| 10:18 | For he that prayseth hym selfe, is not alowed but he whom the 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. |
| 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. |
