CHAP. X.
Against the false Apostles, who disgraced the
weaknesse of his person and bodily presence,
he setteth out the spirituall might and authoritie,
with which hee is armed against all aduersary
powers, 7 assuring them that at
his comming hee will bee found as mightie
in word, as hee is now in writing beeing absent,
12 And withall taxing them for reaching
out themselues beyond their compasse,
and vanting th&ebar;selues into other mens labors.
1
Now I Paul my selfe beseech
you, by the meekenes
and gentlenesse of Christ,
who note in presence am base
among you, but being absent,
am bold toward you:
2
But I beseech you, that I may
not bee bold when I am present, with
that confidence wherewith I thinke to
-- --
Pauls weapons,
be bold against some, which note thinke of
vs as if wee walked according to the
flesh.
3
For though we walke in the flesh,
we doe not warre after the flesh:
4
(For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but mighty note through
God to the pulling downe of strong
holds.)
5
Casting down note imaginations, and
euery high thing that exalteth it selfe against
the knowledge of God, and bringing
into captiuitie euery thought to
the obedience of Christ:
6
And hauing in a readinesse to reuenge
all disobedience, when your obedience
is fulfilled.
7
Doe ye looke on things after the
outward appearance? if any man trust
to himselfe, that he is Christs, let him
of himselfe thinke this againe, that as
he is Christs, euen so are we Christs.
8
For though I should boast somewhat
more of our authority (which the
Lord hath giuen vs for edification, and
not for your destruction) I should not
be ashamed:
9
That I may not seeme as if I
would terrifie you by letters.
10
For his letters (say they) are
waighty and powerfull, but his bodily
presence is weake, and his speach contemptible.
11
Let such a one thinke this: that
such as we are in word by letters, when
we are absent, such will we be also in deede
when we are present.
12
For we dare not make our selues
of the number, or compare our selues
with some that commend themselues:
but they measuring themselues by
themselues, and comparing themselues
amongst themselues, note are not wise.
13
But we will not boast of things
without our measure, but according to
the measure of the note rule, which God
hath distributed to vs, a measure to
reach euen vnto you.
14
For we stretch not our selues beyond
our measure as though wee reached
not vnto you, for wee are come as
farre as to you also, in preaching the Gospel
of Christ.
15
Not boasting of things without
our measure, that is, of other mens labours,
but hauing hope, when your
faith is increased, that wee shall bee
note enlarged by you, according to our rule
abundantly.
His godly ielousie.
16
To preach the Gospel in the regions
beyond you, and not to boast in
another mans note line of things made
ready to our hand.
17
noteBut he that glorieth, let him glory
in the Lord.
18
For, not he that commendeth himselfe
is approued, but whom the Lord
commendeth.
