Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now I Paul myself beseech you, by the mildness and modesty of Christ, who in presence indeed am lowly among you, but being absent, am bold toward you.
1αυτοσ δε εγω παυλοσ παρακαλω υμασ δια τησ πραοτητοσ και επιεικειασ του χριστου οσ κατα προσωπον μεν ταπεινοσ εν υμιν απων δε θαρρω εισ υμασ
2But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present, with that confidence wherewith I am thought to be bold, against some, who reckon us as if we walked according to the flesh.
2δεομαι δε το μη παρων θαρρησαι τη πεποιθησει η λογιζομαι τολμησαι επι τινασ τουσ λογιζομενουσ ημασ ωσ κατα σαρκα περιπατουντασ
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
3εν σαρκι γαρ περιπατουντεσ ου κατα σαρκα στρατευομεθα
4For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of fortifications, destroying counsels,
4τα γαρ οπλα τησ στρατειασ ημων ου σαρκικα αλλα δυνατα τω θεω προσ καθαιρεσιν οχυρωματων
5And every height that exhalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ;
5λογισμουσ καθαιρουντεσ και παν υψωμα επαιρομενον κατα τησ γνωσεωσ του θεου και αιχμαλωτιζοντεσ παν νοημα εισ την υπακοην του χριστου
6And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.
6και εν ετοιμω εχοντεσ εκδικησαι πασαν παρακοην οταν πληρωθη υμων η υπακοη
7See the things that are according to outward appearance. If any man trust to himself, that he is Christ’s, let him think this again with himself, that as he is Christ’s, so are we also.
7τα κατα προσωπον βλεπετε ει τισ πεποιθεν εαυτω χριστου ειναι τουτο λογιζεσθω παλιν αφ εαυτου οτι καθωσ αυτοσ χριστου ουτωσ και ημεισ χριστου
8For if also I should boast somewhat more of our power, which the Lord hath given us unto edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed.
8εαν τε γαρ και περισσοτερον τι καυχησωμαι περι τησ εξουσιασ ημων ησ εδωκεν ο κυριοσ ημιν εισ οικοδομην και ουκ εισ καθαιρεσιν υμων ουκ αισχυνθησομαι
9But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles,
9ινα μη δοξω ωσ αν εκφοβειν υμασ δια των επιστολων
10(For his epistles indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible,)
10οτι αι μεν επιστολαι φησιν βαρειαι και ισχυραι η δε παρουσια του σωματοσ ασθενησ και ο λογοσ εξουθενημενοσ
11Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by epistles, when absent, such also we will be indeed when present.
11τουτο λογιζεσθω ο τοιουτοσ οτι οιοι εσμεν τω λογω δι επιστολων αποντεσ τοιουτοι και παροντεσ τω εργω
12For we dare not match, or compare ourselves with some, that commend themselves; but we measure ourselves by ourselves, and compare ourselves with ourselves.
12ου γαρ τολμωμεν εγκριναι η συγκριναι εαυτουσ τισιν των εαυτουσ συνιστανοντων αλλα αυτοι εν εαυτοισ εαυτουσ μετρουντεσ και συγκρινοντεσ εαυτουσ εαυτοισ ου συνιουσιν
13But we will not glory beyond our measure; but according to the measure of the rule, which God hath measured to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
13ημεισ δε ουχι εισ τα αμετρα καυχησομεθα αλλα κατα το μετρον του κανονοσ ου εμερισεν ημιν ο θεοσ μετρου εφικεσθαι αχρι και υμων
14For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as if we reached not unto you. For we are come as far as to you in the gospel of Christ.
14ου γαρ ωσ μη εφικνουμενοι εισ υμασ υπερεκτεινομεν εαυτουσ αχρι γαρ και υμων εφθασαμεν εν τω ευαγγελιω του χριστου
15Not glorying beyond measure in other men’s labours; but having hope of your increasing faith, to be magnified in you according to our rule abundantly;
15ουκ εισ τα αμετρα καυχωμενοι εν αλλοτριοισ κοποισ ελπιδα δε εχοντεσ αυξανομενησ τησ πιστεωσ υμων εν υμιν μεγαλυνθηναι κατα τον κανονα ημων εισ περισσειαν
16Yea, unto those places that are beyond you, to preach the gospel, not to glory in another man’s rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand.
16εισ τα υπερεκεινα υμων ευαγγελισασθαι ουκ εν αλλοτριω κανονι εισ τα ετοιμα καυχησασθαι
17But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
17ο δε καυχωμενοσ εν κυριω καυχασθω
18For not he who commendeth himself, is approved, but he, whom God commendeth.
18ου γαρ ο εαυτον συνιστων εκεινοσ εστιν δοκιμοσ αλλ ον ο κυριοσ συνιστησιν
