Ad Corinthios Epistula II
Sancti Pauli Apostoli

II Corinthios, chapter 10, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 10

Vulgate


   1 Ipse autem ego Paulus obse cro vos per mansuetudinem et modestiam Christi, qui in facie quidem humilis inter vos, absens autem confido in vobis;
   2 rogo autem, ne praesens audeam per eam confidentiam, quae existimo audere in quosdam, qui arbitrantur nos tamquam secundum carnem ambulemus.
   3 In carne enim ambulantes, non secundum carnem militamus
   4 - nam arma militiae nostrae non carnalia sed potentia Deo ad destructionem munitionum - consilia destruentes
   5 et omnem altitudinem extollentem se adversus scientiam Dei, et in captivitatem redigentes omnem intellectum in obsequium Christi,
   6 et in promptu habentes ulcisci omnem inoboedientiam, cum impleta fuerit vestra oboedientia.
   7 Quae secundum faciem sunt, videte. Si quis confidit sibi Christi se esse, hoc cogitet iterum apud se, quia sicut ipse Christi est, ita et nos.
   8 Nam et si amplius aliquid gloriatus fuero de potestate nostra, quam dedit Dominus in aedificationem et non in destructionem vestram, non erubescam,
   9 ut non existimer tamquam terrere vos per epistulas;
   10 quoniam quidem "Epistulae - inquiunt - graves sunt et fortes, praesentia autem corporis infirma, et sermo contemptibilis".
   11 Hoc cogitet, qui eiusmodi est, quia quales sumus verbo per epistulas absentes, tales et praesentes in facto.
   12 Non enim audemus inserere aut comparare nos quibusdam, qui seipsos commendant; sed ipsi se in semetipsis metientes et comparantes semetipsos sibi, non intellegunt.
   13 Nos autem non ultra mensuram gloriabimur sed secundum mensuram regulae, quam impertitus est nobis Deus, mensuram pertingendi usque ad vos.
   14 Non enim quasi non pertingentes ad vos superextendimus nosmetipsos, usque ad vos enim pervenimus in evangelio Christi;
   15 non ultra mensuram gloriantes in alienis laboribus, spem autem habentes, crescente fide vestra, in vobis magnificari secundum regulam nostram in abundantiam,
   16 ad evangelizandum in iis, quae ultra vos sunt, et non in aliena regula gloriari in his, quae praeparata sunt.
   17 Qui autem gloriatur, in Domino glorietur;
   18 non enim qui seipsum commendat, ille probatus est, sed quem Dominus commendat.

King James Version


   1 Now 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:
   2 But 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.
   3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
   4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
   5 Casting 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;
   6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
   7 Do 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.
   8 For 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:
   9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
   10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
   11 Let 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.
   12 For 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.
   13 But 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.
   14 For 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:
   15 Not 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,
   16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
   17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
   18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
