1: MyselfG0846 nowG1161 I,G1473 Paul,G3972 exhortG3870 youG4771 byG1223 theG3588 meeknessG4240 andG2532 gentlenessG1932 -G3588 of Christ,G5547 whoG3739 as toG2596 appearanceG4383 indeedG3303 [am] humbleG5011 amongG1722 you,G4771 being absentG0548 howeverG1161 am boldG2292 towardG1519 you.G4771

2: I implore [you]G1189 nowG1161 that,G3588 notG3361 being present,G3918 to be boldG2292 with theG3588 confidenceG4006 with whichG3739 I reckonG3049 to be daringG5111 towardG1909 someG5100 -G3588 reckoningG3049 usG1473 asG5613 according toG2596 fleshG4561 walking.G4043

3: InG1722 fleshG4561 forG1063 walking,G4043 notG3756 according toG2596 fleshG4561 do we wage war.G4754

4: TheG3588 forG1063 weaponsG3696 of theG3588 warfareG4752 of usG1473 [are] notG3756 fleshly,G4559 butG0235 powerfulG1415 -G3588 divinelyG2316 toG4314 [the] demolitionG2506 of strongholds,G3794

5: argumentsG3053 overthrowing,G2507 andG2532 everyG3956 high thingG5313 lifting itself upG1869 againstG2596 theG3588 knowledgeG1108 -G3588 of God,G2316 andG2532 taking captiveG0163 everyG3956 thoughtG3540 intoG1519 theG3588 obedienceG5218 -G3588 of Christ,G5547

6: andG2532 inG1722 readinessG2092 having,G2192 to avengeG1556 allG3956 disobedience,G3876 whenG3752 might have been fulfilledG4137 yourG4771 -G3588 obedience.G5218

7: The thingsG3588 according toG2596 appearanceG4383 are you looking.G0991 IfG1487 anyoneG5100 is persuadedG3982 in himselfG1438 of ChristG5547 to be,G1510 thisG3778 let him reckonG3049 againG3825 withinG1909 himself,G1438 thatG3754 asG2531 heG0846 [is] of Christ,G5547 soG3779 also [are]G2532 we.G1473

8: IfG1437 evenG5037 forG1063 more abundantlyG4053 somewhatG5100 I should boastG2744 concerningG4012 theG3588 authorityG1849 of us,G1473 whichG3739 has given [us]G1325 theG3588 LordG2962 forG1519 building [you] upG3619 andG2532 notG3756 forG1519 tearing downG2506 you,G4771 notG3756 I will be ashamed,G0153

9: thatG2443 notG3361 [I] might seemG1380 as ifG5613 -G0302 to frightenG1629 youG4771 by means ofG1223 theG3588 letters.G1992

10: ForG3754 theG3588 letters,G1992 indeedG3303 they say,G5346 [are] weightyG0926 andG2532 strong,G2478 -G3588 butG1161 the presenceG3952 of theG3588 bodyG4983 weak,G0772 andG2532 theG3588 speechG3056 having been ignored.G1848

11: ThisG3778 let reckonG3049 -G3588 such a one,G5108 thatG3754 such asG3634 we areG1510 -G3588 in wordG3056 byG1223 lettersG1992 being absent,G0548 such [we are]G5108 alsoG2532 being presentG3918 -G3588 in action.G2041

12: NotG3756 forG1063 dare weG5111 to classifyG1469 orG2228 to compareG4793 ourselves [with]G1438 someG5100 -G3588 themselvesG1438 commending;G4921 butG0235 theseG0846 byG1722 themselves,G1438 themselvesG1438 measuring,G3354 andG2532 comparingG4793 themselvesG1438 with themselves,G1438 notG3756 understand.G4920

13: WeG1473 howeverG1161 notG3756 intoG1519 the thingsG3588 beyond measureG0280 will boast,G2744 butG0235 according toG2596 theG3588 measureG3358 of theG3588 areaG2583 thatG3739 has assignedG3307 to usG1473 -G3588 God,G2316 a measureG3358 to reachG2185 as far asG0891 alsoG2532 you.G4771

14: NotG3756 forG1063 asG5613 notG3361 reachingG2185 toG1519 you,G4771 we are overextendingG5239 ourselves;G1438 as far asG0891 forG1063 alsoG2532 you,G4771 we cameG5348 inG1722 theG3588 gospelG2098 -G3588 of Christ,G5547

15: notG3756 toG1519 the thingsG3588 beyond measureG0280 boastingG2744 inG1722 others’G0245 labors,G2873 hopeG1680 howeverG1161 having,G2192 increasingG0837 theG3588 faithG4102 of you,G4771 amongG1722 youG4771 to be enlargedG3170 according toG2596 theG3588 areaG2583 of us,G1473 toG1519 abundance,G4050

16: so asG1519 thatG3588 beyondG5238 youG4771 to preach the gospel,G2097 notG3756 inG1722 another’sG0245 area,G2583 inG1519 thingsG3588 readyG2092 to boast.G2744

17: The [one]G3588 howeverG1161 boasting,G2744 inG1722 [the] LordG2962 let him boast.G2744

18: NotG3756 forG1063 the [one]G3588 himselfG1438 commending,G4921 this [one]G1565 isG1510 approved,G1384 butG0235 the one whomG3739 theG3588 LordG2962 commends.G4921
