2 Corinthians 10

1But I myself, PaulG3972, entreat you by the meekness and gentlenessG4240 of the ChristG5547, who, as to appearanceG4383, [when present] [am] mean among you, but absentG548 am boldG2292 towards you; 2but I beseech that presentG3918 I may not be bold with the confidenceG4006 with which I think to be daring towards some who think of us as walkingG4043 accordingG2596 to fleshG4561. 3For walkingG4043 in fleshG4561, we do not warG4754 accordingG2596 to fleshG4561. 4For the arms of our warfareG4752 [are] not fleshlyG4559, but powerfulG1415 according to 1GodG2316 to [the] overthrow of strongholds; 5overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that lifts itself up against the knowledgeG1108 of 2GodG2316, and leading captiveG163 every thought into the obedienceG5218 of the ChristG5547; 6and having in readiness to avengeG1556 all disobedienceG3876 whenG3752 your obedienceG5218 shall have been fulfilled. 7Do ye lookG991 at what concerns appearanceG4383? If any oneG5100 has confidenceG3982 in himself that he isG1510 of ChristG5547, let him think this againG3825 in himself, that evenG2532 as he [isG1510] of ChristG5547, so alsoG2532 [areG1510] we. 8For and if I should boastG2744 evenG2532 somewhat more abundantly of our authorityG1849, which the LordG2962 has givenG1325 [to us] for buildingG3619 up and not for your overthrowing, I shall not be put to shame; 9that I may not seemG1380 as if I was frightening you by lettersG1992: 10because his lettersG1992, he saysG5346, [are] weightyG926 and strongG2478, but his presenceG3952 in the bodyG4983 weakG772, and his speechG3056 naught. 11Let such a oneG3778 think this, that suchG5108 as we areG1510 in wordG3056 by lettersG1992 [when] absentG548, suchG5108 alsoG2532 present in deedG2041. 12For we dareG5111 not class ourselves or compare ourselves with some who commendG4921 themselves; but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not intelligent. 13NowG1161 we will not boastG2744 out of measureG3358, but accordingG2596 to the measureG3358 of the rule which the 3GodG2316 of measureG3358 has apportioned to us, to reach to you alsoG2532. 14For we do not, as not reaching to you, overstretch ourselves, (for we have comeG5348 to you alsoG2532 in the glad tidings of the ChristG5547;) 15not boastingG2744 out of measureG280 in other people's labours, but having hopeG1680, your faithG4102 increasingG837, to be enlarged amongst you, accordingG2596 to our rule, yet more abundantly 16to announce the glad tidings to that [which is] beyond you, not to be boastingG2744 in another's rule of things made readyG2092 to hand. 17But he that boastsG2744, let him boastG2744 in the LordG2962. 18For not he that commendsG4921 himself isG1510 approved, but whom the LordG2962 commendsG4921.
