2 Corinthians 10
|
- 10:1
Now
I
Paul
myself
beseech
you
by the
meekness
and
gentleness of
Christ,
who
in
presence am
base
*
among
you,
but being
absent am
bold
toward
you:
|
- 10:2
But I
beseech you, that I may
not be
bold when I am
present with that
confidence,
wherewith I
think to be
bold
against
some,
which
think of
us
as if we
walked
according to the
flesh.
|
- 10:3
For though we
walk
in the
flesh, we
do
not
war
after the
flesh:
|
- 10:4
(For the
weapons of
our
warfare are
not
carnal,
but
mighty through
God
to the pulling
down of strong
holds;)
|
- 10:5 Casting
down
imaginations,
and
every high
thing that exalteth
itself
against the
knowledge of
God,
and bringing into
captivity
every
thought
to the
obedience of
Christ;
|
- 10:6
And
having
in a
readiness to
revenge
all
disobedience,
when
your
obedience is
fulfilled.
|
- 10:7 Do ye look
on things
after the outward
appearance? If any
man
trust to
himself that he
is
Christ's, let
him
of
himself
think
this
again,
that,
as
he is
Christ's,
even
so are
we
Christ's.
|
- 10:8
For
*
though
I should
boast
somewhat
more
of
our
authority,
which the
Lord hath
given
us
for
edification,
and
not
for
your
destruction, I
should
not be
ashamed:
|
- 10:9
That I
may
not
seem
as
if I would
terrify
you
by
letters.
|
- 10:10
For his
letters
*, say
they, are
weighty
and
powerful;
but his
bodily
presence is
weak,
and his
speech
contemptible.
|
- 10:11
Let such an
one
think
this,
that, such
as we
are in
word
by
letters when we are
absent,
such will we be
also in
deed when we are
present.
|
- 10:12
For we
dare
not
make ourselves of the
number,
or
compare
ourselves
with
some that
commend
themselves:
but
they
measuring
themselves
by
themselves,
and
comparing
themselves
among
themselves,
are
not
wise.
|
- 10:13
But
we
will
not
boast of things
without our
measure,
but
according to the
measure of the
rule
which
God hath
distributed to
us, a
measure to
reach
even
unto
you.
|
- 10:14
For we
stretch
not
ourselves
beyond our measure,
as though we
reached
not
unto
you:
for we are
come as far
as to
you
also
in preaching the
gospel of
Christ:
|
- 10:15
Not
boasting of things
without our
measure, that is,
of other
men's
labours;
but
having
hope, when
your
faith is
increased, that we shall be
enlarged
by
you
according to
our
rule
abundantly
*,
|
- 10:16 To preach the
gospel
in the regions
beyond
you, and
not to
boast
in another
man's
line
of things made ready to our
hand.
|
- 10:17
But he that
glorieth, let him
glory
in the
Lord.
|
- 10:18
For
not
he that
commendeth
himself
is
approved,
but
whom the
Lord
commendeth.
