10:1 I,
Paul,
myself
entreat
you,
by
the
meekness
and
gentleness
of
Christ--I
who
am
humble
when
face
to
face
with
you,
but
bold
toward
you
when
I
am
away!--
10:2 I
beg
of
you
that
when
I
am
present
I
may
not
have
to
show
boldness
with
such
confidence
as
I
count
on
showing
against
some
who
suspect
us
of
walking
according
to
the
flesh.
10:3 For
though
we
walk
in
the
flesh,
we
are
not
waging
war
according
to
the
flesh.
10:4 For
the
weapons
of
our
warfare
are
not
of
the
flesh
but
have
divine
power
to
destroy
strongholds.
10:5 We
destroy
arguments
and
every
lofty
opinion
raised
against
the
knowledge
of
God,
and
take
every
thought
captive
to
obey
Christ,
10:6 being
ready
to
punish
every
disobedience,
when
your
obedience
is
complete.
10:7 Look
at
what
is
before
your
eyes.
If
anyone
is
confident
that
he
is
Christ's,
let
him
remind
himself
that
just
as
he
is
Christ's,
so
also
are
we.
10:8 For
even
if
I
boast
a
little
too
much
of
our
authority,
which
the
Lord
gave
for
building
you
up
and
not
for
destroying
you,
I
will
not
be
ashamed.
10:9 I
do
not
want
to
appear
to
be
frightening
you
with
my
letters.
10:10 For
they
say,
"His
letters
are
weighty
and
strong,
but
his
bodily
presence
is
weak,
and
his
speech
of
no
account."
10:11 Let
such
a
person
understand
that
what
we
say
by
letter
when
absent,
we
do
when
present.
10:12 Not
that
we
dare
to
classify
or
compare
ourselves
with
some
of
those
who
are
commending
themselves.
But
when
they
measure
themselves
by
one
another
and
compare
themselves
with
one
another,
they
are
without
understanding.
10:13 But
we
will
not
boast
beyond
limits,
but
will
boast
only
with
regard
to
the
area
of
influence
God
assigned
to
us,
to
reach
even
to
you.
10:14 For
we
are
not
overextending
ourselves,
as
though
we
did
not
reach
you.
For
we
were
the
first
to
come
all
the
way
to
you
with
the
gospel
of
Christ.
10:15 We
do
not
boast
beyond
limit
in
the
labors
of
others.
But
our
hope
is
that
as
your
faith
increases,
our
area
of
influence
among
you
may
be
greatly
enlarged,
10:16 so
that
we
may
preach
the
gospel
in
lands
beyond
you,
without
boasting
of
work
already
done
in
another's
area
of
influence.
10:17 "Let
the
one
who
boasts,
boast
in
the
Lord."
10:18 For
it
is
not
the
one
who
commends
himself
who
is
approved,
but
the
one
whom
the
Lord
commends.
