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:

stylus

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

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.

stylus

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

3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

stylus

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

4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

stylus

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

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;

stylus

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

6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

stylus

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

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.

stylus

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

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:

stylus

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

9That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

stylus

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

10For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

stylus

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

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.

stylus

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

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.

stylus

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

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.

stylus

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

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:

stylus

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

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,

stylus

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

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.

stylus

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

17But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

stylus
