00:01.360 --> 00:07.840
Chapter 10 Now I, Paul, myself,
beseech you by the meekness and gentleness

00:07.840 --> 00:14.280
of Christ, who in presence am base among
you, but being absent, am bold toward you.

00:14.860 --> 00:20.340
But I beseech you that I may not be bold
when I am present with that confidence,

00:20.900 --> 00:25.880
wherewith I think to be bold against some
which think of us as if we walked

00:25.880 --> 00:26.960
according to the flesh.

00:27.900 --> 00:32.100
For though we walk in the flesh,
we do not war after the flesh.

00:32.480 --> 00:38.160
For the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal, but mighty through God to the

00:38.160 --> 00:40.040
pulling down of strongholds.

00:40.880 --> 00:45.740
Casting down imaginations and every high
thing that exalted itself against the

00:45.740 --> 00:50.660
knowledge of God, and bringing into
captivity every thought to the obedience

00:50.660 --> 00:56.440
of Christ, and having in a readiness to
revenge all disobedience, when your

00:56.440 --> 01:02.100
obedience is fulfilled, do ye look on
things after the outward appearance?

01:02.960 --> 01:09.140
If any man trust to himself that he is
Christ's, let him of himself think this

01:09.140 --> 01:14.880
again, that as he is Christ's,
even so are we Christ's.

01:15.420 --> 01:19.440
For though I should boast somewhat more of
our authority, which the Lord hath given

01:19.440 --> 01:24.040
us for edification, and not for your
destruction, I should not be ashamed,

01:24.680 --> 01:27.660
that I may not seem as if I would terrify
you by letters.

01:28.280 --> 01:35.200
For his letters, say they, are weighty and
powerful, but his bodily presence is weak,

01:35.640 --> 01:37.140
and his speech contemptible.

01:37.960 --> 01:44.120
Let such an one think this, that such as
we are in word, by letters, when we are

01:44.120 --> 01:48.540
absent, such will we be also, indeed,
when we are present.

01:48.540 --> 01:54.080
For we dare not make ourselves of the
number, or compare ourselves with some

01:54.080 --> 01:55.280
that commend themselves.

01:56.240 --> 02:00.660
But they measuring themselves by
themselves, and comparing themselves among

02:00.660 --> 02:02.700
themselves, are not wise.

02:03.320 --> 02:08.420
But we will not boast of things without
our measure, but according to the measure

02:08.420 --> 02:13.900
of the rule, which God hath distributed to
us, a measure to reach even unto you.

02:13.900 --> 02:19.220
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our
measure, as though we reached not unto

02:19.220 --> 02:19.540
you.

02:20.080 --> 02:24.720
For we are come as far as to you also in
preaching the gospel of Christ,

02:25.200 --> 02:30.280
not boasting of things without our
measure, that is, of other men's labors,

02:30.720 --> 02:35.100
but having hope, when your faith is
increased, that we shall be enlarged by

02:35.100 --> 02:37.680
you according to our rule abundantly.

02:37.680 --> 02:43.720
To preach the gospel in the regions beyond
you, and not to boast in another man's

02:43.720 --> 02:46.360
line of things made ready to our hand.

02:47.020 --> 02:50.520
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the
Lord.

02:51.200 --> 02:56.440
For not he that commendeth himself is
approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
