Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:

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

yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present show courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, who count of 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

4 ( ᎣᎦᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗᏰᏃ ᎨᏒ ᏓᏅᏩ ᎣᏣᎢᏒ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᏧᏩᏙᏗ ᏱᎩ, ᏧᎵᏂᎩᏗᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ, ᏓᏐᏲᎥᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᏓᏐᏴᎢ.)

(for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds);

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;

casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;

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

and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.

Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we.

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

For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:

9 ᏞᏍᏗ ᎠᏗᎾ ᎢᏨᏲᏪᎳᏁᎲ ᎢᏨᏍᎦᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱᏉ ᏣᎩᏰᎸᏐ ᏱᏅᏩᏍᏕᏍᏗ.

that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.

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

For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.

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 reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [are we] also in deed when we are 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 are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

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 province which God apportioned to us as 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 overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto 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 [our] measure, [that is], in other men’s labors; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance,

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

so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, [and] not to glory in another’s province in regard of things 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 that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
