  10:1 ¶
BUT I Paulos beseech of you by the peacefulness and humility of the Meshiha, (I) who also in presence am humble with you, but while far off am confident over you, |
|
10:1
Now I, Paul, beseech you, by the mildness and gentleness of the Messiah, although I am mild towards you when present, but bold towards you when absent! |
|
10:2
beseech of you, that when I come I may not be constrained with the confidence I have to be bold, as I think, over those men who imagine that we walk in the flesh. |
|
10:2
yet I beseech of you that, when I come, I may not be compelled by the boldness that is in me to be daring, as I estimate it, towards the persons who think we walk according to the flesh. |
|
10:3
For if we walk in the flesh, yet we war not according to the flesh. |
|
10:3
For, although we walk in the flesh, our warfare is not after the flesh. |
|
10:4
For the armour of our warfare is not of the flesh, but of the power of Aloha; and by it we cast down the strong-holds of rebels, |
|
10:4
For the arms of our warfare are not those of the flesh, but those of the power of God; by which we subdue rebellious castles. |
|
10:5
and demolish reasonings and every lofty thing that is exalted against the knowledge of Aloha, and captivate all thoughts unto the obedience of the Meshiha. |
|
10:5
And we demolish imaginations, and every lofty thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and subjugate all reasonings to obedience to the Messiah. |
|
10:6
And we are prepared to execute the punishment of those who obey not, when your obedience shall be fulfilled. |
|
10:6
And we are prepared, when your obedience shall be complete, to execute judgment on all the disobeying. |
|
10:7
Do we regard persons? If any man confide in himself that he is of the Meshiha, let this one know of himself, that as he is of the Meshiha, so also are we. |
|
10:7
Do ye look on outward appearances? If any one is confident in himself that he is of the Messiah, let him know, from himself, that as he is of the Messiah, so also are we. |
|
10:8
For if I should boast somewhat more of the authority which our Lord hath given me, I should not blush; because for your edification he gave it to me, and not for your destruction. |
|
10:8
For if I should glory somewhat more, in the authority which our Lord hath given me, I should not be ashamed; for he gave it to us for your edification, and not for your destruction. |
|
10:9
But I insist not, that I may not be considered as one who would terrify you by my epistles. |
|
10:9
But I forbear, lest I should be thought to terrify you terribly, by my epistles. |
|
10:10
For there are men who say, His epistles are weighty and forcible; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. |
|
10:10
For there are some who say, [His] epistles are weighty and forcible, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. |
|
10:11
But he who after this manner speaks, shall conclude that what we are by the word of our epistle when absent, so are we in the deed when we are present. |
|
10:11
But let him who saith so, consider this, that such as we are in our epistolary discourse, when absent, such also are we in action, when present. |
|
10:12
For we dare not value or compare ourselves with those who glorify themselves; but because they compare themselves with themselves, they do not understand. |
|
10:12
For we dare not value, or compare ourselves, with those who vaunt: but they, because they compare themselves with themselves, are not wise. |
|
10:13
For we do not boast beyond our measure, but in the measure of the boundary which Aloha hath apportioned to us, that we might come also unto you. |
|
10:13
But we will not glory beyond our measure, but within the measure of the limits which God hath imparted to us, that we should reach as far as you. |
|
10:14
For it is not as not reaching to you [by divine appointment] we extend ourselves; for unto you we come with the gospel of the Meshiha. |
|
10:14
For we do not stretch ourselves, as if not reaching to you; for we do reach as far as you in the annunciation of the Messiah. |
|
10:15
Neither boast we beyond our measure in the labour of others; but we have hope, that with the increase of your faith, we shall be enlarged according to our measure; |
|
10:15
And we do not glory beyond our measure, in the toil of others: but we have the hope, that when your faith shall mature, we shall be magnified by you, as [being within] our measure; |
|
10:16
and be progressive also beyond you to evangelize. Not as within the measure of others in the things that are prepared will we glory. |
|
10:16
and that we shall so abound also, as to make announcements beyond you. It is not in the measure of others, [and] in things ready prepared, that we will glory. |
|
10:17
But let him who glorieth glory in the Lord. |
|
10:17
But let him that will glory, glory in the Lord. |
|
10:18
For it is not he who glorifieth himself who is approved, but he who is glorified of the Lord. |
|
10:18
For not he who praiseth himself, is approved; but he whom the Lord praiseth. |
