KJV_Strong : 2 Corinthians 10
1. Now[G1161] I[G1473] Paul[G3972] myself[G846] beseech[G3870] you[G5209] by[G1223] the[G3588] meekness[G4236] and[G2532] gentleness[G1932] of Christ,[G5547] who[G3739] in[G2596] presence[G4383] am[G3303] base[G5011] among[G1722] you,[G5213] but[G1161] being absent[G548] am bold[G2292] toward[G1519] you: [G5209]
2. But[G1161] I beseech[G1189] you, that I may not[G3361] be bold[G2292] when I am present[G3918] with that confidence,[G4006] wherewith[G3739] I think[G3049] to be bold[G5111] against[G1909] some,[G5100] which think[G3049] of us[G2248] as[G5613] if we walked[G4043] according[G2596] to the flesh.[G4561]
3. For[G1063] though we walk[G4043] in[G1722] the flesh,[G4561] we do not[G3756] war[G4754] after[G2596] the flesh: [G4561]
4. (For[G1063] the[G3588] weapons[G3696] of our[G2257] warfare[G4752] are not[G3756] carnal,[G4559] but[G235] mighty[G1415] through God[G2316] to[G4314] the pulling down[G2506] of strongholds;)[G3794]
5. Casting down[G2507] imaginations,[G3053] and[G2532] every[G3956] high thing[G5313] that exalteth itself[G1869] against[G2596] the[G3588] knowledge[G1108] of God,[G2316] and[G2532] bringing into captivity[G163] every[G3956] thought[G3540] to[G1519] the[G3588] obedience[G5218] of Christ;[G5547]
6. And[G2532] having[G2192] in[G1722] a readiness[G2092] to revenge[G1556] all[G3956] disobedience,[G3876] when[G3752] your[G5216] obedience[G5218] is fulfilled.[G4137]
7. Do ye look on[G991] things[G3588] after[G2596] the outward appearance?[G4383] If any man[G1536] trust[G3982] to himself[G1438] that he is[G1511] Christ's,[G5547] let him of[G575] himself[G1438] think[G3049] this[G5124] again,[G3825] that,[G3754] as[G2531] he[G846] is Christ's,[G5547] even[G2532] so[G3779] are we[G2249] Christ's.[G5547]
8. For[G1063] though[G1437] [G5037] I should boast[G2744] [G2532] somewhat[G5100] more[G4055] of[G4012] our[G2257] authority,[G1849] which[G3739] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] hath given[G1325] us[G2254] for[G1519] edification,[G3619] and[G2532] not[G3756] for[G1519] your[G5216] destruction,[G2506] I should not[G3756] be ashamed: [G153]
9. That[G2443] I may not[G3361] seem[G1380] as[G5613] [G302] if I would terrify[G1629] you[G5209] by[G1223] letters.[G1992]
10. For[G3754] his letters,[G1992] [G3303] say[G5346] they, are weighty[G926] and[G2532] powerful;[G2478] but[G1161] his bodily[G4983] presence[G3952] is weak,[G772] and[G2532] his speech[G3056] contemptible.[G1848]
11. Let such a one[G5108] think[G3049] this,[G5124] that,[G3754] such[G3634] as we are[G2070] in word[G3056] by[G1223] letters[G1992] when we are absent,[G548] such[G5108] will we be also[G2532] in deed[G2041] when we are present.[G3918]
12. For[G1063] we dare[G5111] not[G3756] make ourselves of the number,[G1469] [G1438] or[G2228] compare[G4793] ourselves[G1438] with some[G5100] that commend[G4921] themselves:[G1438] but[G235] they[G846] measuring[G3354] themselves[G1438] by[G1722] themseves,[G1438] and[G2532] comparing[G4793] themselves[G1438] among themselves,[G1438] are not wise.[G4920] [G3756]
13. But[G1161] we[G2249] will not[G3780] boast[G2744] of[G1519] things without our measure,[G280] but[G235] according[G2596] to the[G3588] measure[G3358] of the[G3588] rule[G2583] which[G3739] God[G2316] hath distributed[G3307] to us,[G2254] a measure[G3358] to reach[G2185] even[G2532] unto[G891] you.[G5216]
14. For[G1063] we stretch not ourselves beyond[G5239] [G3756] [G1438] our measure, as though[G5613] we reached[G2185] not[G3361] unto[G1519] you:[G5209] for[G1063] we are come[G5348] as far as[G891] to you[G5216] also[G2532] in[G1722] preaching the[G3588] gospel[G2098] of Christ: [G5547]
15. Not[G3756] boasting[G2744] of[G1519] things without our measure,[G280] that is, of[G1722] other men's[G245] labors;[G2873] but[G1161] having[G2192] hope,[G1680] when your[G5216] faith[G4102] is increased,[G837] that we shall be enlarged[G3170] by[G1722] you[G5213] according[G2596] to our[G2257] rule[G2583] abundantly,[G1519] [G4050]
16. To preach the gospel[G2097] in[G1519] the regions beyond[G5238] you,[G5216] and not[G3756] to boast[G2744] in[G1722] another man's[G245] line of things[G2583] made ready to our hand.[G1519] [G2092]
17. But[G1161] he that glorieth,[G2744] let him glory[G2744] in[G1722] the Lord.[G2962]
18. For[G1063] not[G3756] he[G1565] that commendeth[G4921] himself[G1438] is[G2076] approved,[G1384] but[G235] whom[G3739] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] commendeth.[G4921]
