\subsection{II Corinthians 10}
\VS{1} So I myself Paul call upon you through the gentleness and fairness of 
Christ, [I] who in presence [am] humble among you, but being absent I am bold 
toward you: 
\VS{2} But I request that, being present, [I] not be bold with the 
confidence with which I reckoned to be courageous towards some who reckon us 
as walking according to the flesh. 
\VS{3} For [though] walking in [the] flesh, we do not 
war according to the flesh. 
\VS{4} For the weapons of our warfare [are] not 
fleshly, but powerful through God towards tearing-down of strongholds, 
tearing-down reasonings, 
\VS{5} and every exaltation rising up against the 
knowledge of Christ, and taking captive every thought to the obedience of 
Christ, 
\VS{6} and having in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your 
obedience is made full.

\VS{7} You look according to appearance. If any is persuaded to himself to 
be of Christ, let\fnImperative{} him be reckoning this again upon 
himself, that just as he [is] of Christ, thus also [are] we. 
\VS{8} For if I boast 
something more concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for upbuilding 
and not for your down-tearing, I will not be shamed, 
\VS{9} in order that I 
now seem as if to be frightening you through letters. 
\VS{10} For the 
letters on the one hand, they say, are weighty and strong, but on the other 
hand his bodily presence [is] weak and [his] word despicable. 
\VS{11} 
Let\fnImperative{} such [men] be reckoning this, that such as we are by 
word through letters being absent, such also [are we] being present in deed. 
\VS{12} 
For we dare not to be classing or comparing ourselves with some commending 
themselves, but they measuring themselves among themselves and comparing 
themselves with themselves are not understanding. 
\VS{13} But we will not 
boast to [things] immeasurable, but according to the measure of the limits of [the] 
measure which God distributed to us, [a measure] to reach even to you. 
\VS{14} For not 
as not reaching to you do we stretch beyond ourselves, for even to you have 
we arrived in the good-news of Christ, 
\VS{15} not in the unmeasurable 
[things] boasting in another's labor, but having hope, your faith increasing in you, 
to be greatly enlarged according to our limits 
\VS{16} to good news the 
[regions] beyond you, not in another's limits for the ready boast.

\VS{17} But the [one] boasting, let\fnImperative{} him be boasting in [the] 
Lord. 
\VS{18} For not the [one] commending himself is approved, but whom the Lord 
commends.
