2 Corinthians 10:1-18

10:1

Now
<1161>

I
<1473>

Paul
<3972>

myself
<846>

beseech
<3870> (5719)

you
<5209>

by
<1223>

the meekness
<4236>

and
<2532>

gentleness
<1932>

of Christ
<5547>_,

who
<3739>

in
<2596>

presence
<4383>

[am] base
<3303> <5011>

among
<1722>

you
<5213>_,

but
<1161>

being absent
<548> (5752)

am bold
<2292> (5719)

toward
<1519>

you
<5209>_:

{in presence: or, in outward appearance}

10:2

But
<1161>

I beseech
<1189> (5736)

[you], that I may not
<3361>

be bold
<2292> (5658)

when I am present
<3918> (5752)

with that confidence
<4006>_,

wherewith
<3739>

I think
<3049> (5736)

to be bold
<5111> (5658)

against
<1909>

some
<5100>_,

which
<3588>

think
<3049> (5740)

of us
<2248>

as
<5613>

if we walked
<4043> (5723)

according
<2596>

to the flesh
<4561>_.

{think: or, reckon}

10:3

For
<1063>

though we walk
<4043> (5723)

in
<1722>

the flesh
<4561>_,

we do
<4754> (0)

not
<3756>

war
<4754> (5731)

after
<2596>

the flesh
<4561>_:

10:4

(For
<1063>

the weapons
<3696>

of our
<2257>

warfare
<4752>

[are] not
<3756>

carnal
<4559>_,

but
<235>

mighty
<1415>

through God
<2316>

to
<4314>

the pulling down
<2506>

of strong holds
<3794>;)

{through God: or, to God}

10:5

Casting down
<2507> (5723)

imaginations
<3053>_,

and
<2532>

every
<3956>

high thing
<5313>

that exalteth itself
<1869> (5734)

against
<2596>

the knowledge
<1108>

of God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

bringing into captivity
<163> (5723)

every
<3956>

thought
<3540>

to
<1519>

the obedience
<5218>

of Christ
<5547>_;

{imaginations: or, reasonings}

10:6

And
<2532>

having
<2192> (5723)

in
<1722>

a readiness
<2092>

to revenge
<1556> (5658)

all
<3956>

disobedience
<3876>_,

when
<3752>

your
<5216>

obedience
<5218>

is fulfilled
<4137> (5686)_.

10:7

Do ye look on
<991> (5719)

things after
<2596>

the outward appearance
<4383>_?

If any man
<1536>

trust
<3982> (5754)

to himself
<1438>

that he is
<1511> (5750)

Christ's
<5547>_,

let him
<3049> (0)

of
<575>

himself
<1438>

think
<3049> (5737)

this
<5124>

again
<3825>_,

that
<3754>_,

as
<2531>

he
<846>

[is] Christ's
<5547>_,

even
<2532>

so
<3779>

[are] we
<2249>

Christ's
<5547>_.

10:8

For
<1063> <2532>

though
<1437> <5037>

I should boast
<2744> (5667)

somewhat
<5100>

more
<4055>

of
<4012>

our
<2257>

authority
<1849>_,

which
<3739>

the Lord
<2962>

hath given
<1325> (5656)

us
<2254>

for
<1519>

edification
<3619>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

for
<1519>

your
<5216>

destruction
<2506>_,

I should
<153> (0)

not
<3756>

be ashamed
<153> (5701)_:

10:9

That
<3363> (0)

I may
<1380> (0)

not
<3363>

seem
<1380> (5661)

as
<5613>

if
<302>

I would terrify
<1629> (5721)

you
<5209>

by
<1223>

letters
<1992>_.

10:10

For
<3754>

[his] letters
<1992> <3303>_,

say they
<5346> (5748)_,

[are] weighty
<926>

and
<2532>

powerful
<2478>_;

but
<1161>

[his] bodily
<4983>

presence
<3952>

[is] weak
<772>_,

and
<2532>

[his] speech
<3056>

contemptible
<1848> (5772)_.

{say they: Gr. saith he}

10:11

Let
<3049> (0)

such an one
<5108>

think
<3049> (5737)

this
<5124>_,

that
<3754>_,

such as
<3634>

we are
<2070> (5748)

in word
<3056>

by
<1223>

letters
<1992>

when we are absent
<548> (5752)_,

such
<5108>

[will we be] also
<2532>

in deed
<2041>

when we are present
<3918> (5752)_.

10:12

For
<1063>

we dare
<5111> (5719)

not
<3756>

make
<1469> (0)

ourselves of the number
<1469> (5658)_,

or
<2228>

compare
<4793> (0)

ourselves
<1438>

with
<4793> (5658)

some
<5100>

that commend
<4921> (5723)

themselves
<1438>_:

but
<235>

they
<846>

measuring
<3354> (5723)

themselves
<1438>

by
<1722>

themselves
<1438>_,

and
<2532>

comparing
<4793> (0)

themselves
<1438>

among
<4793> (5723)

themselves
<1438>_,

are
<4920> (0)

not
<3756>

wise
<4920> (5719)_.

{are...: or, understand it not}

10:13

But
<1161>

we
<2249>

will
<2744> (0)

not
<3780>

boast
<2744> (5695)

of things without
<1519>

[our] measure
<280>_,

but
<235>

according
<2596>

to the measure
<3358>

of the rule
<2583>

which
<3739>

God
<2316>

hath distributed
<3307> (5656)

to us
<2254>_,

a measure
<3358>

to reach
<2185> (5635)

even
<2532>

unto
<891>

you
<5216>_.

{rule: or, line}

10:14

For
<1063>

we stretch
<5239> (0)

not
<3756>

ourselves
<1438>

beyond
<5239> (5719)

[our measure], as
<5613>

though we reached
<2185> (5740)

not
<3361>

unto
<1519>

you
<5209>_:

for
<1063>

we are come
<5348> (5656)

as far as
<891>

to you
<5216>

also
<2532>

in
<1722>

[preaching] the gospel
<2098>

of Christ
<5547>_:

10:15

Not
<3756>

boasting
<2744> (5740)

of things without
<1519>

[our] measure
<280>_,

[that is], of
<1722>

other men's
<245>

labours
<2873>_;

but
<1161>

having
<2192> (5723)

hope
<1680>_,

when your
<5216>

faith
<4102>

is increased
<837> (5746)_,

that we shall be enlarged
<3170> (5683)

by
<1722>

you
<5213>

according
<2596>

to our
<2257>

rule
<2583>

abundantly
<1519> <4050>_,

{enlarged...: or, magnified in you}

10:16

To preach the gospel
<2097> (5670)

in
<1519>

the [regions] beyond
<5238>

you
<5216>_,

[and] not
<3756>

to boast
<2744> (5664)

in
<1722>

another man's
<245>

line
<2583>

of
<1519>

things made ready to our hand
<2092>_.

{line: or, rule}

10:17

But
<1161>

he that glorieth
<2744> (5740)_,

let him glory
<2744> (5737)

in
<1722>

the Lord
<2962>_.

10:18

For
<1063>

not
<3756>

he
<1565>

that commendeth
<4921> (5723)

himself
<1438>

is
<2076> (5748)

approved
<1384>_,

but
<235>

whom
<3739>

the Lord
<2962>

commendeth
<4921> (5719)_.
