1Ako ngang si Pablo ay namamanhik sa inyo alangalang sa kaamuang-loob at kapakumbabaan ni Cristo, ako na sa harapan ninyo ay mapagpakumbaba sa gitna ninyo, nguni't ako'y lubhang malakas ang loob kung wala sa harapan ninyo: 2Oo, ako'y namamanhik sa inyo, upang kung ako'y nahaharap ay huwag akong magpakita ng katapangang may pagkakatiwala na ipinasiya kong ipagmatapang laban sa ilang nagiisip sa amin, na waring kami ay nagsisilakad ng ayon sa laman. 3Sapagka't bagaman kami ay nagsisilakad sa laman, ay hindi kami nangakikipagbakang ayon sa laman. 4(Sapagka't ang mga sandata ng aming pakikilaban ay hindi ukol sa laman, kundi sa harapan ng Dios ay may kapangyarihang gumiba ng mga kuta); 5Na siyang gumigiba ng mga maling haka, at ng bawa't bagay na matayog na nagmamataas laban sa karunungan ng Dios, at bumibihag sa lahat ng pagiisip sa pagtalima kay Cristo; 6At nangahahanda upang maghiganti sa lahat ng pagsuway, kung maganap na ang inyong pagtalima. 7Minamasdan ninyo ang mga bagay na nahaharap sa inyong mukha. Kung ang sinoman ay mayroong pagkakatiwala sa kaniyang sarili na siya'y kay Cristo, ay muling dilidilihin ito sa kaniyang sarili na, kung paanong siya'y kay Cristo, kami naman ay gayon din. 8Sapagka't bagaman ako ay magmapuri ng marami tungkol sa aming kapamahalaan (na ibinigay ng Panginoon sa ikapagtitibay sa inyo, at hindi sa ikagigiba ninyo) ay hindi ako mapapahiya. 9Upang huwag akong wari'y ibig ko kayong pangilabutin sa takot sa aking mga sulat. 10Sapagka't, sinasabi nila, Ang kaniyang mga sulat, ay malaman at mabisa; datapuwa't ang anyo ng kaniyang katawan ay mahina, at ang kaniyang pananalita ay walang kabuluhan. 11Bayaang isipin ng isang gayon ito, na, kung ano kami sa pananalita sa mga sulat pagka kami ay wala sa harapan, ay gayon din kami naman sa gawa pagka kami ay nahaharap. 12Sapagka't hindi kami nangagmamatapang na makibilang o makitulad sa mga ilan doon sa mga nagmamapuri sa kanilang sarili: nguni't sila na sinusukat ang kanilang sarili sa kanila rin, at kanilang itinutulad ang sarili sa kanila rin ay mga walang unawa. 13Datapuwa't hindi naman ipinagmamapuri ang labis sa aming sukat, kundi ayon sa sukat ng hangganang sa amin ay ipinamamahagi ng Dios, na gaya ng sukat, upang umabot hanggang sa inyo. 14Sapagka't hindi kami nagsisilagpas ng higit, na waring hindi na namin kayo aabutin: sapagka't hanggang sa inyo naman ay nagsirating kami sa evangelio ni Cristo: 15Na hindi namin ipinagmamapuri ang labis sa aming sukat, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga gawa ng ibang mga tao; kundi yamang may pagasa, na ayon sa paglago ng inyong pananampalataya, kami'y pupurihin sa inyo ayon sa aming hangganan sa lalong kasaganaan, 16Upang ipangaral ang evangelio sa mga dako pa roon ng lupain ninyo, at huwag kaming mangagmapuri sa hangganan ng iba tungkol sa mga bagay na nangahahanda na sa amin. 17Datapuwa't ang nagmamapuri ay magmapuri sa Panginoon. 18Sapagka't hindi subok ang nagtatagubilin sa kaniyang sarili, kundi ang ipinagtatagubilin ng Panginoon.
1Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. 2Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh. 3For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; 4for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, 5throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; 6and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full. 7Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also we are Christ’s. 8For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed, 9that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters. 10For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.” 11Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present. 12For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding. 13But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you. 14For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ, 15not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence, 16so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done. 17But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” 18For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
1Voorts ik Paulus zelf bid u, door de zachtmoedigheid en goedertierenheid van Christus, die, tegenwoordig zijnde, wel gering ben onder u, maar afwezend stout ben tegen u; 2Ik bid dan, dat ik, tegenwoordig zijnde, niet stout moge zijn met die vrijmoedigheid, waarmede ik geacht word stoutelijk gehandeld te hebben tegen sommigen, die ons achten, alsof wij naar het vlees wandelden. 3Want wandelende in het vlees, voeren wij den krijg niet naar het vlees; 4Want de wapenen van onzen krijg zijn niet vleselijk, maar krachtig door God, tot nederwerping der sterkten; 5Dewijl wij de overleggingen ter nederwerpen, en alle hoogte, die zich verheft tegen de kennis van God, en alle gedachte gevangen leiden tot de gehoorzaamheid van Christus; 6En gereed hebben, hetgeen dient om te wreken alle ongehoorzaamheid, wanneer uw gehoorzaamheid zal vervuld zijn. 7Ziet gij aan wat voor ogen is? Indien iemand bij zichzelven betrouwt, dat hij van Christus is, die denke dit wederom uit zichzelven, dat gelijkerwijs hij van Christus is, alzo ook wij van Christus zijn. 8Want indien ik ook iets overvloediger zou roemen van onze macht, welke de Heere ons gegeven heeft tot stichting, en niet tot uw nederwerping, zo zal ik niet beschaamd worden; 9Opdat ik niet zou schijnen, alsof ik u door de brieven wilde verschrikken. 10Want de brieven (zeggen zij) zijn wel gewichtig en krachtig; maar de tegenwoordigheid des lichaams is zwak, en de rede is verachtelijk. 11Dezulke bedenke dit, dat hoedanigen wij zijn in het woord door brieven, als wij afwezig zijn, wij ook zodanigen zijn inderdaad, als wij tegenwoordig zijn. 12Want wij durven onszelven niet rekenen of vergelijken met sommigen, die zichzelven prijzen; maar deze verstaan niet, dat zij zichzelven met zichzelven meten, en zichzelven met zichzelven vergelijken. 13Doch wij zullen niet roemen buiten de maat; maar dat wij, naar de maat des regels, welke maat ons God toegedeeld heeft, ook tot u toe zijn gekomen. 14Want wij strekken onszelven niet te wijd uit, als die tot u niet zouden komen; want wij zijn ook gekomen tot u toe, in het Evangelie van Christus; 15Niet roemende buiten de maat in anderer lieden arbeid, maar hebbende hoop, als uw geloof zal gewassen zijn, dat wij onder ulieden overvloediglijk zullen vergroot worden naar onzen regel; 16Om het Evangelie te verkondigen in de plaatsen, die op gene zijde van u gelegen zijn; niet om te roemen in eens anders regel over hetgeen alrede bereid is. 17Doch wie roemt, die roeme in den Heere. 18Want niet die zichzelven prijst, maar dien de Heere prijst, die is beproefd.
