2 Corinthians 10 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

2Co 10:1

2Co 10:1And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

2Co 10:2

2Co 10:2and I beseech you, that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh;

2Co 10:3

2Co 10:3for walking in the flesh, not according to the flesh do we war,

2Co 10:4

2Co 10:4for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,

2Co 10:5

2Co 10:5reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,

2Co 10:6

2Co 10:6and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience, whenever your obedience may be fulfilled.

2Co 10:7

2Co 10:7The things in presence do ye see? if any one hath trusted in himself to be Christ's, this let him reckon again from himself, that according as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's;

2Co 10:8

2Co 10:8for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed;

2Co 10:9

2Co 10:9that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters,

2Co 10:10

2Co 10:10'because the letters indeed -- saith one -- are weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.'

2Co 10:11

2Co 10:11This one -- let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, we are in deed.

2Co 10:12

2Co 10:12For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, among themselves measuring themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,

2Co 10:13

2Co 10:13and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us -- to reach even unto you;

2Co 10:14

2Co 10:14for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ,

2Co 10:15

2Co 10:15not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's labours, and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to be enlarged, according to our line -- into abundance,

2Co 10:16

2Co 10:16in the places beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another's line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;

2Co 10:17

2Co 10:17and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast;

2Co 10:18

2Co 10:18for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.
