| 10:1 | 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, |
| 10:2 | 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; |
| 10:3 | for walking in the flesh, not according to the flesh do we war, |
| 10:4 | for the weapons of our warfare `are' not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds, |
| 10:5 | 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, |
| 10:6 | and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience, whenever your obedience may be fulfilled. |
| 10:7 | 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; |
| 10:8 | 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; |
| 10:9 | that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters, |
| 10:10 | `because the letters indeed -- saith one -- `are' weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.' |
| 10:11 | 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. |
| 10:12 | 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, |
| 10:13 | 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; |
| 10:14 | 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, |
| 10:15 | 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, |
| 10:16 | in the `places' beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another's line in regard to the things made ready, to boast; |
| 10:17 | and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast; |
| 10:18 | for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend. |
| 10:1 | I Paule my silfe beseche you by the mekenes and softnes of Christ which when I am present amoge you am of no reputacio but am bolde towarde you beinge absent. |
| 10:2 | I besech you that I nede not to be bolde when I am present (with that same confidece wher with I am supposed to be bolde) agaynst some which repute vs as though we walked carnally. |
| 10:3 | Neverthelesse though we walke compased with ye fleshe yet we warre not flesshlye |
| 10:4 | For the weapes of oure warre are not carnall thinges but thynges myghty in god to cast doune stronge holdes |
| 10:5 | wherwith we overthrowe ymaginacyons and every hye thynge that exalteh it silfe agaynst the knowledge of god and brynge into captivite all vnderstondynge to the obedience of Christ |
| 10:6 | and are redy to take vengeaunce on all disobedience when youre obedience is fulfilled. |
| 10:7 | Loke ye on thynges after ye vtter apparence? Yf eny man trust in him silfe yt he is Christis let the same also considre of him silfe yt as he is Christis even so are we Christes. |
| 10:8 | And though I shuld bost my silfe somewhat moare of oure auctorite which the lorde hath geven vs to edifie and not to destroye you it shulde not be to my shame. |
| 10:9 | This saye I lest I shuld seme as though I went about to make you a frayde with letters. |
| 10:10 | For ye pistles (sayth he) are sore and stronge: but his bodyly presence is weake and his speache rude. |
| 10:11 | Let him yt is soche thynke on this 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 oure hertes to make oure selves of ye nombre of them or to compare oure selves to them which laude the selves neuerthelesse whill they measure the selves wt them selves and copare the selves wt the selves they vnderstode nought. |
| 10:13 | But we wyll not reioyce above measure: but accordynge to the quantitie of ye measure which god hath distributed vnto vs a measure that reacheth even vnto you. |
| 10:14 | For we stretche uot out oure selves beyode measure as though we had not reached vnto you. For even vnto you have we come with the gospell of Christ |
| 10:15 | and we bost not oure selves out of measure in other mens labours. Ye and we hope when youre fayth is increased amoge you to be magnified acordynge to oure measure more largely |
| 10:16 | and to preache ye gospell in those regions which are beyode you: and not to reioyce of that which is by another mans measure prepared all redy. |
| 10:17 | Let him yt reioyseth reioyce in the lorde. |
| 10:18 | For he that prayseth him silfe is not alowed: but he whom the lorde prayseth. |
| 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. |
