II CORINTHIANS

II Corinthians 10

1Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:

Matthew 11:29, 2 Corinthians 10:10, Matthew 11:29, 2 Corinthians 10:10, Galatians 5:2

2Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.

2 Corinthians 13:10, 2 Corinthians 13:10, 2 Corinthians 13:2, 2 Corinthians 13:2, Galatians 5:16

3For though we may be living in the flesh, we are not fighting after the way of the flesh

2 Corinthians 10:4, 2 Corinthians 10:4, Galatians 2:20, Galatians 2:20, 1 Peter 4:1

4(For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);

2 Corinthians 6:7, 2 Corinthians 6:7, Jeremiah 1:10, Jeremiah 1:10, Ephesians 6:13

5Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 4:12, Isaiah 55:7, Isaiah 55:7, 1 Peter 1:14

6Being ready to give punishment to whatever is against his authority, after you have made it clear that you are completely under his control.

2 Corinthians 2:9, 2 Corinthians 2:9, Numbers 16:26, Numbers 16:30, 2 Corinthians 7:15

7Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is.

1 Corinthians 14:37, 2 Corinthians 5:12, 1 Corinthians 14:37, 2 Corinthians 5:12, 2 Corinthians 11:23

8For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:

2 Corinthians 13:10, 2 Corinthians 13:10, 2 Corinthians 1:24, Galatians 1:1, 2 Timothy 1:12

9That I may not seem to have the desire of causing you fear by my letters.

2 Corinthians 10:10, 1 Corinthians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 4:19, 1 Corinthians 4:21, 2 Corinthians 10:10

10For his letters, they say, have weight and are strong; but in body he is feeble, and his way of talking has little force.

1 Corinthians 1:17, 1 Corinthians 1:17, 2 Corinthians 11:6, Exodus 4:10, Galatians 4:13

11Let those who say this keep in mind that, what we are in word by letters when we are away, so will we be in act when we are present.

2 Corinthians 12:20, 2 Corinthians 13:2, 2 Corinthians 13:3, 2 Corinthians 13:10, 2 Corinthians 12:20

12For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.

Proverbs 27:2, Proverbs 27:2, Proverbs 26:12, Proverbs 26:12, Luke 18:11

13We will not give glory to ourselves in over-great measure, but after the measure of the rule which God has given us, a measure which comes even to you.

Romans 15:20, Romans 12:6, 2 Corinthians 10:14, 2 Corinthians 10:15, Romans 15:20

14For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

Romans 1:16, 1 Corinthians 4:15, 1 Timothy 1:11, Romans 1:16, 1 Corinthians 4:15

15Not taking credit to ourselves for what is not our business, that is, for the work of others; but having hope that, with the growth of your faith, we may get the credit for an increase which is the effect of our work,

Romans 15:20, Romans 15:20, 2 Thessalonians 1:3, 2 Thessalonians 1:3, 2 Corinthians 10:13

16So that we may be able to go on and take the good news to countries still farther away than you are, and not take credit for another man's work in making things ready to our hand.

Romans 15:24, Romans 15:28, Romans 15:24, Romans 15:28, Acts 19:21

17But whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.

Jeremiah 9:23, Jeremiah 9:24, Jeremiah 9:23, Jeremiah 9:24, 1 Corinthians 1:31

18For the Lord's approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord's opinion of him.

Proverbs 21:2, Luke 16:15, Proverbs 21:2, Luke 16:15, Romans 2:29
