10:1 Now 1161 I 1473 Paul 3972 myself 846 beseech 3870 5719 you 5209 by 1223 the meekness 4236 and 2532 gentleness 1932 of Christ 5547, who 3739 in 2596 presence 4383 [am] base 3303 5011 among 1722 you 5213, but 1161 being absent 548 5752 am bold 2292 5719 toward 1519 you 5209:(in presence: or, in outward appearance)

10:2 But 1161 I beseech 1189 5736 [you], that I may not 3361 be bold 2292 5658 when I am present 3918 5752 with that confidence 4006, wherewith 3739 I think 3049 5736 to be bold 5111 5658 against 1909 some 5100, which 3588 think 3049 5740 of us 2248 as 5613 if we walked 4043 5723 according 2596 to the flesh 4561.(think: or, reckon)

10:3 For 1063 though we walk 4043 5723 in 1722 the flesh 4561, we do 4754 0 not 3756 war 4754 5731 after 2596 the flesh 4561:

10:4 (For 1063 the weapons 3696 of our 2257 warfare 4752 [are] not 3756 carnal 4559, but 235 mighty 1415 through God 2316 to 4314 the pulling down 2506 of strong holds 3794;)(through God: or, to God)

10:5 Casting down 2507 5723 imaginations 3053, and 2532 every 3956 high thing 5313 that exalteth itself 1869 5734 against 2596 the knowledge 1108 of God 2316, and 2532 bringing into captivity 163 5723 every 3956 thought 3540 to 1519 the obedience 5218 of Christ 5547;(imaginations: or, reasonings)

10:6 And 2532 having 2192 5723 in 1722 a readiness 2092 to revenge 1556 5658 all 3956 disobedience 3876, when 3752 your 5216 obedience 5218 is fulfilled 4137 5686.

10:7 Do ye look on 991 5719 things after 2596 the outward appearance 4383? If any man 1536 trust 3982 5754 to himself 1438 that he is 1511 5750 Christ's 5547, let him 3049 0 of 575 himself 1438 think 3049 5737 this 5124 again 3825, that 3754, as 2531 he 846 [is] Christ's 5547, even 2532 so 3779 [are] we 2249 Christ's 5547.

10:8 For 1063 2532 though 1437 5037 I should boast 2744 5667 somewhat 5100 more 4055 of 4012 our 2257 authority 1849, which 3739 the Lord 2962 hath given 1325 5656 us 2254 for 1519 edification 3619, and 2532 not 3756 for 1519 your 5216 destruction 2506, I should 153 0 not 3756 be ashamed 153 5701:

10:9 That 3363 0 I may 1380 0 not 3363 seem 1380 5661 as 5613 if 302 I would terrify 1629 5721 you 5209 by 1223 letters 1992.

10:10 For 3754 [his] letters 1992 3303, say they 5346 5748, [are] weighty 926 and 2532 powerful 2478; but 1161 [his] bodily 4983 presence 3952 [is] weak 772, and 2532 [his] speech 3056 contemptible 1848 5772.(say they: Gr. saith he)

10:11 Let 3049 0 such an one 5108 think 3049 5737 this 5124, that 3754, such as 3634 we are 2070 5748 in word 3056 by 1223 letters 1992 when we are absent 548 5752, such 5108 [will we be] also 2532 in deed 2041 when we are present 3918 5752.

10:12 For 1063 we dare 5111 5719 not 3756 make 1469 0 ourselves of the number 1469 5658, or 2228 compare 4793 0 ourselves 1438 with 4793 5658 some 5100 that commend 4921 5723 themselves 1438: but 235 they 846 measuring 3354 5723 themselves 1438 by 1722 themselves 1438, and 2532 comparing 4793 0 themselves 1438 among 4793 5723 themselves 1438, are 4920 0 not 3756 wise 4920 5719.(are…: or, understand it not)

10:13 But 1161 we 2249 will 2744 0 not 3780 boast 2744 5695 of things without 1519 [our] measure 280, but 235 according 2596 to the measure 3358 of the rule 2583 which 3739 God 2316 hath distributed 3307 5656 to us 2254, a measure 3358 to reach 2185 5635 even 2532 unto 891 you 5216.(rule: or, line)

10:14 For 1063 we stretch 5239 0 not 3756 ourselves 1438 beyond 5239 5719 [our measure], as 5613 though we reached 2185 5740 not 3361 unto 1519 you 5209: for 1063 we are come 5348 5656 as far as 891 to you 5216 also 2532 in 1722 [preaching] the gospel 2098 of Christ 5547:

10:15 Not 3756 boasting 2744 5740 of things without 1519 [our] measure 280, [that is], of 1722 other men's 245 labours 2873; but 1161 having 2192 5723 hope 1680, when your 5216 faith 4102 is increased 837 5746, that we shall be enlarged 3170 5683 by 1722 you 5213 according 2596 to our 2257 rule 2583 abundantly 1519 4050,(enlarged…: or, magnified in you)

10:16 To preach the gospel 2097 5670 in 1519 the [regions] beyond 5238 you 5216, [and] not 3756 to boast 2744 5664 in 1722 another man's 245 line 2583 of 1519 things made ready to our hand 2092.(line: or, rule)

10:17 But 1161 he that glorieth 2744 5740, let him glory 2744 5737 in 1722 the Lord 2962.

10:18 For 1063 not 3756 he 1565 that commendeth 4921 5723 himself 1438 is 2076 5748 approved 1384, but 235 whom 3739 the Lord 2962 commendeth 4921 5719.
