| 1 |
I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ - I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold to you when I am away! - | Paul Defends His Ministry 2Cor.10.1-18 | Αὐτὸς δὲ ἐγὼ Παῦλος παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς διὰ τῆς πραΰτητος καὶ ἐπιεικείας τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὃς κατὰ πρόσωπον μὲν ταπεινὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, ἀπὼν δὲ θαρρῶ εἰς ὑμᾶς· |
| 2 |
I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of acting in worldly fashion. | | δέομαι δὲ τὸ μὴ παρὼν θαρρῆσαι τῇ πεποιθήσει ᾗ λογίζομαι τολμῆσαι ἐπί τινας τοὺς λογιζομένους ἡμᾶς ὡς κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦντας. |
| 3 |
For though we live in the world we are not carrying on a worldly war, | | ἐν σαρκὶ γὰρ περιπατοῦντες οὐ κατὰ σάρκα στρατευόμεθα - |
| 4 |
for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds. | | τὰ γὰρ ὁπλα τῆς στρατείας ἡμῶν οὐ σαρκικὰ ἀλλὰ δυνατὰ τῷ θεῷ πρὸς καθαίρεσιν ὀχυρωμάτων - λογισμοὺς καθαιροῦντες |
| 5 |
We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, | | καὶ πᾶν ὑψωμα ἐπαιρόμενον κατὰ τῆς γνώσεως τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ αἰχμαλωτίζοντες πᾶν νόημα εἰς τὴν ὑπακοὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, |
| 6 |
being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete. | | καὶ ἐν ἑτοίμῳ ἐχοντες ἐκδικῆσαι πᾶσαν παρακοήν, ὁταν πληρωθῇ ὑμῶν ἡ ὑπακοή. |
| 7 |
Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that as he is Christ's, so are we. | | Τὰ κατὰ πρόσωπον βλέπετε. εἰ τις πέποιθεν ἑαυτῷ Χριστοῦ εἶναι, τοῦτο λογιζέσθω πάλιν ἐφ' ἑαυτοῦ ὅτι καθὼς αὐτὸς Χριστοῦ οὑτως καὶ ἡμεῖς. |
| 8 |
For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame. | | ἐάν γὰρ περισσότερόν τι καυχήσωμαι περὶ τῆς ἐξουσίας ἡμῶν, ἧς ἐδωκεν ὁ κύριος εἰς οἰκοδομὴν καὶ οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν ὑμῶν, οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσομαι, |
| 9 |
I would not seem to be frightening you with letters. | | ἵνα μὴ δόξω ὡς ἂν ἐκφοβεῖν ὑμᾶς διὰ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν· |
| 10 |
For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account." | | ὁτι, Αἱ ἐπιστολαὶ μέν, φησίν, βαρεῖαι καὶ ἰσχυραί, ἡ δὲ παρουσία τοῦ σώματος ἀσθενὴς καὶ ὁ λόγος ἐξουθενημένος. |
| 11 |
Let such people understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present. | | τοῦτο λογιζέσθω ὁ τοιοῦτος, ὅτι οἷοί ἐσμεν τῷ λόγῳ δῖ ἐπιστολῶν ἀπόντες, τοιοῦτοι καὶ παρόντες τῷ ἐργῳ. |
| 12 |
Not that we venture to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another, and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding. | | Οὐ γὰρ τολμῶμεν ἐγκρῖναι ἢ συγκρῖναι ἑαυτούς τισιν τῶν ἑαυτοὺς συνιστανόντων· ἀλλὰ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἑαυτοὺς μετροῦντες καὶ συγκρίνοντες ἑαυτοὺς ἑαυτοῖς οὐ συνιᾶσιν. |
| 13 |
But we will not boast beyond limit, but will keep to the limits God has apportioned us, to reach even to you. | | ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ εἰς τὰ ἀμετρα καυχησόμεθα, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ μέτρον τοῦ κανόνος οὗ ἐμέρισεν ἡμῖν ὁ θεὸς μέτρου, ἐφικέσθαι ἀχρι καὶ ὑμῶν. |
| 14 |
For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you; we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. | | οὐ γὰρ ὡς μὴ ἐφικνούμενοι εἰς ὑμᾶς ὑπερεκτείνομεν ἑαυτούς, ἀχρι γὰρ καὶ ὑμῶν ἐφθάσαμεν ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ· |
| 15 |
We do not boast beyond limit, in other men's labours; but our hope is that as your faith increases, our field among you may be greatly enlarged, | | οὐκ εἰς τὰ ἀμετρα καυχώμενοι ἐν ἀλλοτρίοις κόποις, ἐλπίδα δὲ ἐχοντες αὐξανομένης τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν ἐν ὑμῖν μεγαλυνθῆναι κατὰ τὸν κανόνα ἡμῶν εἰς περισσείαν, |
| 16 |
so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another's field. | | εἰς τὰ ὑπερέκεινα ὑμῶν εὐαγγελίσασθαι, οὐκ ἐν ἀλλοτρίῳ κανόνι εἰς τὰ ἑτοιμα καυχήσασθαι. |
| 17 |
"Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord." | - Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord. 2Cor.10.17 | Jr.9.24 | Ὁ δὲ καυχώμενος ἐν κυρίῳ καυχάσθω· |
| 18 |
For it is not the man who commends himself that is accepted, but the man whom the Lord commends. | | οὐ γὰρ ὁ ἑαυτὸν συνιστάνων, ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν δόκιμος, ἀλλὰ ὃν ὁ κύριος συνίστησιν. |
