1 Now G1161 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS Paul G3972 N-NSM myself G846 P-NSM beseech G3870 V-PAI-1S you G5209 P-2AP by G1223 PREP the G3588 T-GSF meekness G4236 N-GSF and G2532 CONJ gentleness G1932 N-GSF of Christ G5547 N-GSM , who G3739 R-NSM in G2596 PREP presence G4383 N-ASN am G5011 A-NSM base G3303 A-NSM among G1722 PREP you G5213 P-2DP , but G1161 CONJ being absent G548 V-PXP-NSM am bold G2292 V-PAI-1S toward G1519 PREP you G5209 P-2AP :
2 But G1161 CONJ I beseech G1189 V-PNI-1S you G3588 T-ASN , that I may not G3361 PRT-N be bold G2292 V-AAN when I G3588 T-DSF am present G3918 V-PXP-NSM with that confidence G4006 N-DSF , wherewith G3739 R-DSF I think G3049 V-PNI-1S to be bold G5111 V-AAN against G1909 PREP some G5100 X-APM , which think G3049 V-PNP-APM of us G2248 P-1AP as G5613 ADV if we walked G4043 V-PAP-APM according G2596 PREP to the flesh G4561 N-ASF .
3 For G1063 CONJ though we walk G4043 V-PAP-NPM in G1722 PREP the flesh G4561 N-DSF , we do not G3756 PRT-N war G4754 V-PMI-1P after G2596 PREP the flesh G4561 N-ASF :
4 ( CONJ For CONJ the G3588 T-NPN weapons G3696 N-NPN of G3588 T-GSF our G3588 T-GSF warfare G4752 N-GSF are not G3756 PRT-N carnal G4559 A-NPN , but G235 CONJ mighty G1415 A-NPN through God G2316 N-DSM to G4314 PREP the pulling down G2506 N-ASF of strongholds G3794 N-GPN ; )
5 Casting down G2507 V-PAP-NPM imaginations G3053 N-APM , and G2532 CONJ every G3956 A-ASN high thing G5313 N-ASN that exalteth itself G1869 V-PMP-ASN against G2596 PREP the G3588 T-GSF knowledge G1108 N-GSF of God G2316 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ bringing into captivity G163 V-PAP-NPM every G3956 A-ASN thought G3540 N-ASN to G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASF obedience G5218 N-ASF of Christ G5547 N-GSM ;
6 And G2532 CONJ having G2192 V-PAP-NPM in G1722 PREP a readiness G2092 A-DSN to revenge G1556 V-AAN all G3956 A-ASF disobedience G3876 N-ASF , when G3752 CONJ your G3588 T-NSF obedience G5218 N-NSF is fulfilled G4137 V-APS-3S .
7 Do ye look on G991 V-PAI-2P things G3588 T-APN after G2596 PREP the outward appearance G4383 N-ASN ? If any man G1536 trust G3982 V-2RAI-3S to himself G1438 F-3DSM that he is G1511 V-PXN Christ G5547 N-GSM \'s , let him of G575 PREP himself G1438 F-3GSM think G3049 V-PNM-3S this G5124 D-ASN again G3825 ADV , that G3754 CONJ , as G2531 ADV he G846 P-NSM is Christ G5547 N-GSM \'s , even G2532 CONJ so G3779 ADV are we G2249 P-1NP Christ G5547 N-GSM \'s .
8 For G1063 CONJ though G1437 COND I should boast G2744 V-ADS-1S somewhat G5100 X-ASN more G4055 of G4012 PREP our G3588 T-GSF authority G1849 N-GSF , which G3739 R-GSF the G3588 T-NSM Lord G2962 N-NSM hath given G1325 V-AAI-3S us G2254 P-1DP for G1519 PREP edification G3619 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N for G1519 PREP your G5216 P-2GP destruction G2506 N-ASF , I should not G3756 PRT-N be ashamed G153 V-FPI-1S :
9 That G2443 CONJ I may not G3361 PRT-N seem G1380 V-AAS-2S as ADV if I would terrify G1629 V-PAN you G5209 P-2AP by G1223 PREP letters G1992 N-GPF .
10 For G3754 CONJ his letters G1992 N-NPF , say G5346 V-PXI-3S they , are weighty G926 A-NPF and G2532 CONJ powerful G2478 A-NPF ; but G1161 CONJ his bodily G4983 N-GSN presence G3952 N-NSF is weak G772 A-NSF , and G2532 CONJ his speech G3056 N-NSM contemptible G1848 V-RPP-NSM .
11 Let such a one G5108 D-NSM think G3049 V-PNM-3S this G5124 D-ASN , that G3754 CONJ , such G3634 K-NPM as we G3588 T-DSM are G2070 V-PXI-1P in word G3056 N-DSM by G1223 PREP letters G1992 N-GPF when we are absent G548 V-PXP-NPM , such G5108 D-NPM will we G3588 T-DSN be also G2532 CONJ in deed G2041 N-DSN when we are present G3918 V-PXP-NPM .
12 For G1063 CONJ we dare G5111 V-PAI-1P not G3756 PRT-N make ourselves of the number G1469 V-AAN , or G2228 PRT compare G4793 V-AAN ourselves G1438 F-3APM with some G5100 X-DPM that G3588 T-GPM commend G4921 V-PAP-GPM themselves G1438 F-3APM : but G235 CONJ they G846 P-NPM measuring G3354 V-PAP-NPM themselves G1438 F-3DPM by G1722 PREP themseves G1438 F-3APM , and G2532 CONJ comparing G4793 V-PAP-NPM themselves G1438 F-3APM among themselves G1438 F-3DPM , are not wise G4920 V-PAI-3P .
13 But G1161 CONJ we G2249 P-1NP will not G3780 PRT-N boast G2744 V-FDI-1P of G3588 T-APN things without our measure G280 A-APN , but G235 CONJ according G2596 PREP to the G3588 T-ASN measure G3358 N-ASN of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM rule G2583 N-GSM which G3588 T-NSM God G2316 N-NSM hath distributed G3307 V-AAI-3S to us G2254 P-1DP , a measure G3358 N-GSN to reach G2185 V-2ADN even G2532 CONJ unto G891 PREP you G5216 P-2GP .
14 For G1063 CONJ we stretch not ourselves beyond G5239 V-PAI-1P our measure , as though G5613 ADV we reached G2185 V-PNP-NPM not G3361 PRT-N unto G1519 PREP you G5209 P-2AP : for G1063 CONJ we are come G5348 V-AAI-1P as far as G891 PREP to you G5216 P-2GP also G2532 CONJ in G1722 PREP preaching the G3588 T-DSN gospel G2098 N-DSN of Christ G5547 N-GSM :
15 Not G3756 PRT-N boasting G2744 V-PNP-NPM of G3588 T-APN things without our measure G280 A-APN , that is , of G1722 PREP other men G245 A-DPM \'s labors G2873 N-DPM ; but G1161 CONJ having G2192 V-PAP-NPM hope G1680 N-ASF , when your G3588 T-GSF faith G4102 N-GSF is increased G837 V-PPP-GSF , that we shall be enlarged G3170 V-APN by G1722 PREP you G5213 P-2DP according G2596 PREP to our G3588 T-ASM rule G2583 N-ASM abundantly G1519 PREP ,
16 To preach the gospel G2097 V-AMN in G1519 PREP the regions beyond G5238 ADV you G5216 P-2GP , and not G3756 PRT-N to boast G2744 V-ADN in G1722 PREP another man G245 A-DSM \'s line of things G2583 N-DSM made ready to our hand G1519 PREP .
17 But G1161 CONJ he that glorieth G2744 V-PNP-NSM , let him glory G2744 V-PNM-3S in G1722 PREP the Lord G2962 N-DSM .
18 For G1063 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N he G1565 D-NSM that G3588 T-NSM commendeth G4921 V-PAP-NSM himself G1438 F-3ASM is G2076 V-PXI-3S approved G1384 A-NSM , but G235 CONJ whom G3739 R-ASM the G3588 T-NSM Lord G2962 N-NSM commendeth G4921 V-PAI-3S .
