1 | autoV de egw pauloV parakalw umaV dia thV praothtoV kai epieikeiaV tou cristou oV kata proswpon men tapeinoV en umin apwn de qarrw eiV umaV
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: |
2 | deomai de to mh parwn qarrhsai th pepoiqhsei h logizomai tolmhsai epi tinaV touV logizomenouV hmaV wV kata sarka peripatountaV
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. |
3 | en sarki gar peripatounteV ou kata sarka strateuomeqa
10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: |
4 | ta gar opla thV strateiaV hmwn ou sarkika alla dunata tw qew proV kaqairesin ocurwmatwn
10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) |
5 | logismouV kaqairounteV kai pan uywma epairomenon kata thV gnwsewV tou qeou kai aicmalwtizonteV pan nohma eiV thn upakohn tou cristou
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; |
6 | kai en etoimw econteV ekdikhsai pasan parakohn otan plhrwqh umwn h upakoh
10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. |
7 | ta kata proswpon blepete ei tiV pepoiqen eautw cristou einai touto logizesqw palin af eautou oti kaqwV autoV cristou outwV kai hmeiV cristou
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. |
8 | ean te gar kai perissoteron ti kauchswmai peri thV exousiaV hmwn hV edwken o kurioV hmin eiV oikodomhn kai ouk eiV kaqairesin umwn ouk aiscunqhsomai
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: |
9 | ina mh doxw wV an ekfobein umaV dia twn epistolwn
10:9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. |
10 | oti ai men epistolai fhsin bareiai kai iscurai h de parousia tou swmatoV asqenhV kai o logoV exouqenhmenoV
10:10 For [his] letters, say they, [are] weighty and powerful; but [his] bodily presence [is] weak, and [his] speech contemptible. |
11 | touto logizesqw o toioutoV oti oioi esmen tw logw di epistolwn aponteV toioutoi kai paronteV tw ergw
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. |
12 | ou gar tolmwmen egkrinai h sugkrinai eautouV tisin twn eautouV sunistanontwn alla autoi en eautoiV eautouV metrounteV kai sugkrinonteV eautouV eautoiV ou suniousin
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. |
13 | hmeiV de ouci eiV ta ametra kauchsomeqa alla kata to metron tou kanonoV ou emerisen hmin o qeoV metrou efikesqai acri kai umwn
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. |
14 | ou gar wV mh efiknoumenoi eiV umaV uperekteinomen eautouV acri gar kai umwn efqasamen en tw euaggeliw tou cristou
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: |
15 | ouk eiV ta ametra kaucwmenoi en allotrioiV kopoiV elpida de econteV auxanomenhV thV pistewV umwn en umin megalunqhnai kata ton kanona hmwn eiV perisseian
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, |
16 | eiV ta uperekeina umwn euaggelisasqai ouk en allotriw kanoni eiV ta etoima kauchsasqai
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. |
17 | o de kaucwmenoV en kuriw kaucasqw
10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. |
18 | ou gar o eauton sunistwn ekeinoV estin dokimoV all on o kurioV sunisthsin
10:18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. |
