ASV_Strong : 2 Corinthians 10
1. Now[G1161] I[G1473] Paul[G3972] myself[G846] entreat[G3870] you[G5209] by[G1223] the meekness[G4236] and[G2532] gentleness[G1932] of Christ[G5547], I who[G3739] in[G2596] your presence[G4383] am[G3303] lowly[G5011] among[G1722] you[G5209], but[G1161] being absent[G548] am of good courage[G2292] toward[G1519] you[G5209]:
2. yea[G1161], I beseech[G1189] you[G2292], that I may not[G3361] when present[G3918] show courage[G2292] with the confidence[G4006] wherewith I count[G3049] to be bold[G5111] against[G1909] some[G5100], who[G3739] count[G3049] of us[G2248] as if[G5613] we walked[G4043] according to[G2596] the flesh[G4561].
3. For[G1063] though we walk[G4043] in[G1722] the flesh[G4561], we do[G4754] not[G3756] war[G4754] according[G2596] to the flesh[G4561]
4. (for[G1063] the weapons[G3696] of our[G2257] warfare[G4752] are not[G3756] of the flesh[G4559], but[G235] mighty[G1415] before God[G2316] to[G4314] the casting down[G2506] of strongholds[G3794]),
5. casting down[G2507] imaginations[G3053], and[G2532] every[G3956] high thing[G5313] that is exalted[G1869] against[G2596] the knowledge[G1108] of God[G2316], and[G2532] bringing every[G3956] thought[G3540] into captivity[G163] to[G1519] the obedience[G5218] of Christ[G5547];
6. and[G2532] being[G2192] in[G1722] readiness[G2092] to avenge[G1556] all[G3956] disobedience[G3876], when[G3752] your[G5216] obedience[G5218] shall be made full[G4137].
7. Ye look[G991] at the things[G3588] that are before[G2596] your face[G4383]. If[G1487] any man[G5100] trusteth[G3982] in himself[G1438] that he is[G1511] Christ[G5547]'s, let him[G3049] consider[G3049] this[G5124] again[G3825] with[G575] himself[G1438], that[G3754], even[G2532] as[G2531] he[G846] is Christ[G5547]'s, so[G3779] also[G2532] are we[G2249].
8. For[G1063] though[G1437, Deuteronomy37] I should glory[G2744, 2532] somewhat[G5100] abundantly[G4053] concerning[G4012] our[G2257] authority[G1849] (which[G3739] the Lord[G2962] gave[G1325, 2254] for[G1519] building[G3619] you up[G2532], and not[G3756] for[G1519] casting you[G5216] down[G2506]), I shall[G153] not[G3756] be put to shame[G153]:
9. that[G2443] I may[G1380] not[G3361] seem[G1380] as[G5613] if[G302] I would terrify[G1629] you[G5209] by[G1223] my letters[G1992].
10. For[G3754], His letters[G3303], they[G5346] say[G926], are weighty and[G2532] strong[G2478]; but[G1161] his bodily[G4983] presence[G3952] is weak[G772], and[G2532] his speech[G3056] of no account[G1848].
11. Let[G3049] such a one[G5108] reckon[G3049] this[G5124], that[G3754], what[G3634] we are[G2070] in word[G3056] by[G1223] letters[G1992] when we are absent[G548], such[G5108] are we also[G2532] in deed[G2041] when we are present[G3918].
12. For[G1063] we are not[G3756] bold[G5111] to number[G1469] or[G2228] compare[G4793] ourselves[G1438] with certain[G5100] of them that commend[G4921] themselves[G1438]: but[G235] they[G846] themselves[G3354], measuring themselves[G1438] by[G1722] themselves[G1438], and[G2532] comparing[G4793] themselves[G1438] with themselves[G1438], are[G4920] without[G3756] understanding[G4920].
13. But[G1161] we[G2249] will[G2744] not[G3780] glory[G2744, 1519, 3588] beyond[G280] our measure[G280], but[G235] according to[G2596] the measure[G3358] of the province[G2583] which[G3739] God[G2316] apportioned[G3307] to us[G2254] as a measure[G3358], to reach[G2185] even[G2532] unto[G891] you[G5216].
14. For[G1063] we stretch[G5239] not[G3756] ourselves[G1438] overmuch[G5239], as though[G5613] we reached[G2185] not[G3361] unto[G1519] you[G5209]: for[G1063] we came[G5348] even[G2532] as far as[G891] unto you[G5216] in[G1722] the gospel[G2098] of Christ[G5547]:
15. not[G3756] glorying[G2744, 1519, 3588] beyond[G280] our measure[G280], that is[G1722], in other men[G245]'s labors[G2873]; but[G1161] having[G2192] hope[G1680] that[G5216], as your faith[G4102] groweth[G837], we shall be magnified[G3170] in[G1722] you[G5213] according[G2596] to[G1519] our[G2257] province[G2583] unto further abundance[G4050],
16. so as to preach the gospel[G2097] even unto[G1519] the parts beyond[G5238] you[G5216], and not[G3756] to glory[G2744] in[G1722] another[G245]'s province[G2583] in regard of[G1519] things ready to our hand[G2092].
17. But[G1161] he[G3588] that glorieth[G2744], let him glory[G2744] in[G1722] the Lord[G2962].
18. For[G1063] not[G3756] he that[G1565] commendeth[G4921] himself[G1438] is[G2076] approved[G1384], but[G235] whom[G3739] the Lord[G2962] commendeth[G4921].
