2 Corinthians 10
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base 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 think to be bold against some, which think of 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 after the flesh:
3εν σαρκι γαρ περιπατουντεσ ου κατα σαρκα στρατευομεθα
4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
4τα γαρ οπλα τησ στρατειασ ημων ου σαρκικα αλλα δυνατα τω θεω προσ καθαιρεσιν οχυρωματων
5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to 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 a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
6και εν ετοιμω εχοντεσ εκδικησαι πασαν παρακοην οταν πληρωθη υμων η υπακοη
7Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
7τα κατα προσωπον βλεπετε ει τισ πεποιθεν εαυτω χριστου ειναι τουτο λογιζεσθω παλιν αφ εαυτου οτι καθωσ αυτοσ χριστου ουτωσ και ημεισ χριστου
8For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for 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
9That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
9ινα μη δοξω ωσ αν εκφοβειν υμασ δια των επιστολων
10For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; 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 an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
11τουτο λογιζεσθω ο τοιουτοσ οτι οιοι εσμεν τω λογω δι επιστολων αποντεσ τοιουτοι και παροντεσ τω εργω
12For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
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 boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed 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 though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
14ου γαρ ωσ μη εφικνουμενοι εισ υμασ υπερεκτεινομεν εαυτουσ αχρι γαρ και υμων εφθασαμεν εν τω ευαγγελιω του χριστου
15Not boasting of things without our measure, that is , of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by 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
16To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things 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 that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
18ου γαρ ο εαυτον συνιστων εκεινοσ εστιν δοκιμοσ αλλ ον ο κυριοσ συνιστησιν
