Now I Paul myself beseech you, by the mildness and modesty of Christ, who in presence indeed am lowly among you, but being absent, am bold toward you.

2 ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏨᏔᏲᏎᎭ ᎢᏨᏰᎳᏗᏙᎲ ᎾᏆᏓᎾᏰᏍᏛᎾ ᎢᏯᏆᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏆᏓᎾᏰᏍᏛᎾ ᎦᏥᏴᏓᏁᏗ ᏣᎩᏰᎸᎭ ᎢᎦᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᏓᏂᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗ ᏥᎪᎨᎵᏎᎭ.

But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present, with that confidence wherewith I am thought to be bold, against some, who reckon us as if we walked according to the flesh.

3 ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎤᏇᏓᎸ ᎤᏤᏙᎭ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᏧᏟᏴᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏱᏙᏣᏟᏴᏗᎭ;

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of fortifications, destroying counsels,

5 ᎡᎳᏗ ᏂᏙᏨᏁᎰ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏗ ᎨᏒ, ᎠᎴ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎢᏅ ᎢᎦᏘ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏓᎵᏌᎳᏗᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏗᎦᏘᎴᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏙᏥᏎᎪᎩᏍᎪ ᏙᏣᏘᏁᎪ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎬᏬᎯᏳᏗᏱ ᏃᏨᏁᎰᎢ;

And every height that exhalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ;

6 ᎠᎴ ᎣᎦᏛᏅᎢᏍᏗ ᏦᏥᏍᏛᏗᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎾᏂᎥ ᏄᏃᎯᏳᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎤᎧᎵᏨᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.

And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.

See the things that are according to outward appearance. If any man trust to himself, that he is Christ’s, let him think this again with himself, that as he is Christ’s, so are we also.

8 ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᏯᏆᏢᏈᏍᏔᏅ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎣᎦᏒᎦᎸᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏦᎩᏁᎸ ᎢᏣᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎡᎳᏗ ᎢᏰᏨᏁᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᏱᎦᎦᏕᎣᏍᎦ.

For if also I should boast somewhat more of our power, which the Lord hath given us unto edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed.

9 ᏞᏍᏗ ᎠᏗᎾ ᎢᏨᏲᏪᎳᏁᎲ ᎢᏨᏍᎦᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱᏉ ᏣᎩᏰᎸᏐ ᏱᏅᏩᏍᏕᏍᏗ.

But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles,

10 ᏕᎪᏪᎵᏍᎬᏰᏃ ᏗᎦᎨᏗᏳ ᎠᎴ ᏧᎵᏂᎩᏗᏳ, ᎤᏙᎯᏳ, ᎠᎾᏗᎭ; ᎠᏰᎸᏍᎩᏂ ᏲᏪᎳᏗᏙᎭ ᎠᏩᎾᎦᎳᎯᏳ, ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎬᏃ ᎬᏕᎰᏙᏗᏉ.

(For his epistles indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible, )

11 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏰᎵᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᎠᏓᏅᏖᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏃᎦᏍᏛ ᎣᏥᏬᏂᏍᎬ ᏙᏦᏪᎵᏍᎬᎢ, ᎾᎿᎭᏫᏃᏤᏙᎲᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏃᎦᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᏙᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎾᎿᎭᏬᏤᏙᎮᏍᏗ.

Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by epistles, when absent, such also we will be indeed when present.

12 ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏰᎵ ᎦᏲᎦᎵᏠᏯᏍᏙᏗ ᏱᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎦᏲᎦᏓᏟᎶᏍᏙᏗ ᏱᎩ ᏄᎾᏍᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎠᎾᏓᎸᏉᏗᏍᎩ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏅᏒᏉ ᏄᎾᏍᏛ ᏓᎾᏓᏟᎶᏍᏗᏍᎬ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏅᏒᏉ ᏓᎾᏓᏤᎳᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎥᏝ ᏳᎾᏓᏅᏔ.

For we dare not match, or compare ourselves with some, that commend themselves; but we measure ourselves by ourselves, and compare ourselves with ourselves.

13 ᎠᏴᏍᎩᏂ ᎥᏝ ᏴᎦᏲᏣᏢᏈ ᎠᎦᏲᏥᎶᏒᏍᏓ ᎠᏟᎶᎥᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᏩᏍᏛ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎠᏟᎶᎥ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏙᎩᏲᎯᏎᎸᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏟᎶᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᏗᏤᎲ ᏫᎦᎷᎩ.

But we will not glory beyond our measure; but according to the measure of the rule, which God hath measured to us, a measure to reach even unto you.

14 ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏲᏥᎶᏒᏍᏗᎭ ᎣᎦᏟᎶᏒᎸᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏂᎯ ᏗᏤᎲ ᏫᎦᏲᎩᎷᎯᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎨᏐ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ; ᏂᎯᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏗᏤᎲ ᎢᏴᏛ ᏬᎩᎷᏨ ᎣᏣᎵᏥᏙᎲᏍᎬ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ;

For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as if we reached not unto you. For we are come as far as to you in the gospel of Christ.

15 ᏃᏣᏢᏈᏍᏗᏍᎬᎾ ᎠᏟᎶᎥ ᏙᏱᏗᏢ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏂᏐᎢ ᏴᏫ ᏚᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸᎢ; ᎤᏚᎩᏍᎩᏂ ᎣᎬᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎤᏁᏉᏨᎯ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᏂᎯ ᏍᎩᏁᏉᎡᏗᏱ ᏍᎩᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᏩᏍᏛ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎣᎦᏟᎶᎡᎸ ᏬᎩᎶᏒᏍᏙᏗᏱ,

Not glorying beyond measure in other men’s labours; but having hope of your increasing faith, to be magnified in you according to our rule abundantly;

16 ᎣᎦᎵᏥᏙᏗᏱ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏗᏤᎲ ᎤᏗᏗᏢ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎣᎦᏢᏈᏍᏗᏱ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᏅᏩᏓᏕ ᎩᎶ ᏩᏍᏛ ᎢᏴᏛ ᎠᎦᏟᎶᎡᎸᎢ, ᎦᏳᎳ ᎣᎦᏛᏅᎢᏍᏓᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ.

Yea, unto those places that are beyond you, to preach the gospel, not to glory in another man’s rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand.

17 ᎩᎶᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏢᏈᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎠᏢᏈᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ.

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

18 ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎠᏓᎸᏉᏗᏍᎩ ᏣᎦᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ Ꮎ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᎸᏉᏔᏅᎯ.

For not he who commendeth himself, is approved, but he, whom God commendeth.
