2 Corinthians 10 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Paul Confronts the Corinthians

Now^G1161 I, Paul^G3972, myself^G846 urge^G3870 you by the meekness^G4240 and gentleness^G1932 of Christ^G5547—I who^G3739 am [fn]meek^G5011 when face^G4383 to face^G4383 with you, but bold^G2292 toward^G1519 you when absent^G548!

2Co 10:2

2Co 10:2I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I intend to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.

2Co 10:3

2Co 10:3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle according to the flesh,

2Co 10:4

2Co 10:4for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but [fn]divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

2Co 10:5

2Co 10:5We are destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,

2Co 10:6

2Co 10:6and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.

2Co 10:7

[fn]You are looking^G991 at [fn]things as they are outwardly^G2596^G4383. If^G1487 anyone^G5100 is confident^G3982 in himself^G1438 that he is Christ’s^G5547, have him consider^G3049 this^G3778 again^G3825 within^G1909 himself^G1438, that just^G2531 as^G2531 he is Christ’s^G5547, so^G3779 too^G2532 are we.

2Co 10:8

2Co 10:8For if I boast somewhat [fn]more about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame,

2Co 10:9

2Co 10:9 [fn]for I do not want to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.

2Co 10:10

2Co 10:10For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but his [fn]personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible.”

2Co 10:11

2Co 10:11Have such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.

2Co 10:12

For we do not presume^G5111 to rank^G1469 or^G2228 compare^G4793 ourselves^G1438 with [fn]some^G5100 of those^G3588 who commend^G4921 themselves^G1438; but when they [fn]measure^G3354 themselves^G1438 by themselves^G1438 and compare^G4793 themselves^G1438 with themselves^G1438, they have^G4920 no^G3756 understanding^G4920.

2Co 10:13

2Co 10:13But we will not boast beyond our measure, but [fn]within the measure of the [fn]domain which God assigned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.

2Co 10:14

2Co 10:14For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ;

2Co 10:15

2Co 10:15not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other people’s labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, [fn]within our [fn]domain, enlarged even more by you,

2Co 10:16

2Co 10:16so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast [fn]in what has been accomplished in the domain of another.

2Co 10:17

2Co 10:17But THE ONE WHO BOASTS IS TO BOAST IN THE LORD.

2Co 10:18

2Co 10:18For it is not the one who commends himself that is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
