For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:

Forª² thoughªª I should boastª°¹ somewhatª moreª ofª ourª authority,ª whichª the¹ Lordª hath givenª° usª forª edification,ª andª not²¹ forª yourª destruction,ª I should²° notª be ashamed:ª°

Forª² thoughªª I should boastª°¹ somewhatª moreª ofª ourª authorityª (whichª the¹ Lordª hath giuenª° vsª forª edification,ª andª not²¹ forª yourª destruction)ª I should²° notª be ashamed:ª°

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.

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.
