2 Corinthians 10

1 Myself now I myself Paul exhort you through the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who as to appearance indeed [am] humble among you, being absent however I am bold toward you;

2 I implore [you] now that not being present to be bold with the confidence with which I reckon to be daring toward some those reckoning us as according to flesh walking.

3 In flesh for walking not according to flesh do we wage war,

4 The for weapons of the warfare of us [are] not fleshly but powerful divinely to [the] demolition of strongholds,

5 arguments overthrowing and every high thing lifting itself up against the knowledge of God and taking captive every thought into the obedience of Christ

6 and in readiness having to avenge all disobedience, when may have been fulfilled your obedience.

7 The [things] according to appearance are you looking. If anyone is persuaded in himself of Christ to be, this he should reckon again (within *N+kO) himself that even as he [is] of Christ, so also [are] we ourselves (of Christ. *k)

8 If even for (and *k) more excessive somewhat I shall boast concerning the authority of us which has given the Lord (to us *k) for building [you] up and not for tearing down you, not I will be ashamed;

9 that not [I] may seem as if to frighten you through the letters.

10 For the letters indeed they say [are] weighty and strong, however the presence of the body weak and the speech ignored.

11 This should realise type of [person] that such as we are in word through letters being absent, such [we are] also being present in action.

12 Not for dare we to classify or to compare ourselves [with] some themselves commending; but these by themselves themselves measuring and comparing themselves with themselves not understand.

13 We ourselves however (not *N+kO) into the [things] beyond measure will boast but according to the measure of the area that has assigned to us God a measure to reach as far as also you.

14 Not for as not reaching to you we are overextending ourselves; as far as for also you we came in the gospel of Christ;

15 not to the [things] beyond measure boasting in others’ labors, hope however having increasing the faith of you among you to be enlarged according to the area of us to excess,

16 so as that beyond you to evangelise, not in another’s area in [things] ready to boast.

17 The [one] however boasting in [the] Lord he should boast;

18 Not for the [one] himself commending, this [one] is approved, but [the one] whom the Lord commends.
