CHAP. X.
Against the false Apostles, who disgraced the weaknesse of his person and bodily presence, he setteth out the spirituall might and authoritie, with which hee is armed against all aduersary powers, 7 assuring them that at his comming hee will bee found as mightie in word, as hee is now in writing beeing absent, 12 And withall taxing them for reaching out themselues beyond their compasse, and vanting thēselues into other mens labors.
1 Now I Paul my selfe beseech you, by the meekenes and gentlenesse of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent, am bold toward you:1
2 But I beseech you, that I may not bee bold when I am present, with that confidence wherewith I thinke to be bold against some, which thinke of vs as if wee walked according to the flesh.2
3 For though we walke in the flesh, we doe not warre after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling downe of strong holds.)4
5 Casting down imaginations, and euery high thing that exalteth it selfe against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ:5
6 And hauing in a readinesse to reuenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
9 That I may not seeme as if I would terrifie you by letters.
12 For we dare not make our selues of the number, or compare our selues with some that commend themselues: but they measuring themselues by themselues, and comparing themselues amongst themselues, are not wise.12
13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule, which God hath distributed to vs, a measure to reach euen vnto you.13
15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other mens labours, but hauing hope, when your faith is increased, that wee shall bee enlarged by you, according to our rule abundantly.15
16 To preach the Gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another mans line of things made ready to our hand.16
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.17
18 For, not he that commendeth himselfe is approued, but whom the Lord commendeth.
