\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.
