2 Corinthians Chapter 10

            10^:1Now I, Paul myself urge you by/through the meekness and gentleness of-[the] Christ, who according-to face (was) meek among you, but bold toward you, being-absent, ² I-ask (that) [the] not, being-present, to be-bold with-the confidence by-which I-reckon to-be-brave against some the-ones reckoning us as walking according-to (the) flesh. ³ For walking in (the) flesh, we-do┘not└do-war/battle according-to (the) flesh. ⁴ For the weapons of-the warfare of-us (are) not fleshly, but powerful before/to-[the] God unto (the) destruction of-strongholds/fortresses destroying speculations ⁵ and every stronghold/fortress raised-up against the knowledge of-[the] God and taking┘every thought└captive to the obedience of [the] Christ, ⁶ and having in readiness to-punish every disobedience, when the obedience of-you is-fulfilled/complete.

            ⁷ You-are-looking-at the-thing according-to face/appearance. If anybody is-confident in-himself (that) him to-be of-Christ, let-him-consider this again in/about himself that as he-himself (is) of-Christ, so also (are) we. ⁸ For even if I-should-boast something more-abundant about the authority of-us, which the Lord gave unto edification and not unto tearing-down of-you, I-will ┘not└be-put-to-shame/disregarded, ⁹ in-order-that I-might┘not└seem as-if² to-terrify you by [the] letters, ¹⁰ because, “The letters,” they-say, “(are) heavy and strong, but the presence of-the body (of him is) weak and the speech (of him is) looked-down-on.” ¹¹ Let┘[the] such-a-person └reckon this that what-sort we-are by-[the] word through letters, being-absent, such also (we are/can be) in deed, being present.

            ¹² For we-are┘not└bold to-classify or compare ourselves to-some of-the-ones commending themselves, but themselves measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves with/to-themselves do┘not└understand. ¹³ But we will┘not└boast to/about [the] immeasurable-things, but according-to the measure/sphere/limits that [the] God appointed to-us as-a-measure to-reach even to you. ¹⁴ For we are┘not└overextending to you as-if not extending to, for we-reached even unto you in the gospel of-[the] Christ. ¹⁵ We don’t boast into the beyond-measure things labors, but, having hope of-the growing faith of-you to-be-held-in-high-honor by you unto more, according-to the sphere/area of-us, ¹⁶ to-preach-the gospel in the places-beyond you, not to boast in the prepared-thing in another-person’s sphere/area. ¹⁷ But, “Let┘the-one boasting└boast in (the) Lord.” ¹⁸ For not the-one commending himself—that-one is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
