NowG1161 IG1473 PaulG3972 myselfG846 beseechG3870 youG5209 byG1223 the meeknessG4236 andG2532 gentlenessG1932 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 inG2596 presenceG4383 am baseG3303+G5011 amongG1722 youG5213, butG1161 being absentG548 am boldG2292 towardG1519 youG5209: {in presence: or, in outward appearance}
ButG1161 I beseechG1189 you, that I may notG3361 be boldG2292 when I am presentG3918 with that confidenceG4006, wherewithG3739 I thinkG3049 to be boldG5111 againstG1909 someG5100, whichG3588 thinkG3049 of usG2248 asG5613 if we walkedG4043 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561. {think: or, reckon}
ForG1063 though we walkG4043 inG1722 the fleshG4561, we doG4754 notG3756 warG4754 afterG2596 the fleshG4561:
(ForG1063 the weaponsG3696 of ourG2257 warfareG4752 are notG3756 carnalG4559, butG235 mightyG1415 through GodG2316 toG4314 the pulling downG2506 of strong holdsG3794;) {through God: or, to God}
Casting downG2507 imaginationsG3053, andG2532 everyG3956 high thingG5313 that exalteth itselfG1869 againstG2596 the knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316, andG2532 bringing into captivityG163 everyG3956 thoughtG3540 toG1519 the obedienceG5218 of ChristG5547; {imaginations: or, reasonings}
AndG2532 havingG2192 inG1722 a readinessG2092 to revengeG1556 allG3956 disobedienceG3876, whenG3752 yourG5216 obedienceG5218 is fulfilledG4137.
Do ye look onG991 things afterG2596 the outward appearanceG4383? If any manG1536 trustG3982 to himselfG1438 that he isG1511 Christ'sG5547, let himG3049 ofG575 himselfG1438 thinkG3049 thisG5124 againG3825, thatG3754, asG2531 heG846 is Christ'sG5547, evenG2532 soG3779 are weG2249 Christ'sG5547.
ForG1063+G2532 thoughG1437+G5037 I should boastG2744 somewhatG5100 moreG4055 ofG4012 ourG2257 authorityG1849, whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath givenG1325 usG2254 forG1519 edificationG3619, andG2532 notG3756 forG1519 yourG5216 destructionG2506, I shouldG153 notG3756 be ashamedG153:
ThatG3363 I mayG1380 notG3363 seemG1380 asG5613 ifG302 I would terrifyG1629 youG5209 byG1223 lettersG1992.
ForG3754 his lettersG1992+G3303, say theyG5346, are weightyG926 andG2532 powerfulG2478; butG1161 his bodilyG4983 presenceG3952 is weakG772, andG2532 his speechG3056 contemptibleG1848. {say they: Gr. saith he}
LetG3049 such an oneG5108 thinkG3049 thisG5124, thatG3754, such asG3634 we areG2070 in wordG3056 byG1223 lettersG1992 when we are absentG548, suchG5108 will we be alsoG2532 in deedG2041 when we are presentG3918.
ForG1063 we dareG5111 notG3756 makeG1469 ourselves of the numberG1469, orG2228 compareG4793 ourselvesG1438 withG4793 someG5100 that commendG4921 themselvesG1438: butG235 theyG846 measuringG3354 themselvesG1438 byG1722 themselvesG1438, andG2532 comparingG4793 themselvesG1438 amongG4793 themselvesG1438, areG4920 notG3756 wiseG4920. {are…: or, understand it not}
ButG1161 weG2249 willG2744 notG3780 boastG2744 of things withoutG1519 our measureG280, butG235 accordingG2596 to the measureG3358 of the ruleG2583 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath distributedG3307 to usG2254, a measureG3358 to reachG2185 evenG2532 untoG891 youG5216. {rule: or, line}
ForG1063 we stretchG5239 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 beyondG5239 our measure, asG5613 though we reachedG2185 notG3361 untoG1519 youG5209: forG1063 we are comeG5348 as far asG891 to youG5216 alsoG2532 inG1722 preaching the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547:
NotG3756 boastingG2744 of things withoutG1519 our measureG280, that is, ofG1722 other men'sG245 laboursG2873; butG1161 havingG2192 hopeG1680, when yourG5216 faithG4102 is increasedG837, that we shall be enlargedG3170 byG1722 youG5213 accordingG2596 to ourG2257 ruleG2583 abundantlyG1519+G4050, {enlarged…: or, magnified in you}
To preach the gospelG2097 inG1519 the regions beyondG5238 youG5216, and notG3756 to boastG2744 inG1722 another man'sG245 lineG2583 ofG1519 things made ready to our handG2092. {line: or, rule}
ButG1161 he that gloriethG2744, let him gloryG2744 inG1722 the LordG2962.
ForG1063 notG3756 heG1565 that commendethG4921 himselfG1438 isG2076 approvedG1384, butG235 whomG3739 the LordG2962 commendethG4921.

And soG2532 he that had receivedG2983 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and broughtG4374 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thou deliveredstG3860 unto meG3427 fiveG4002 talentsG5007: beholdG2396, I have gainedG2770 besideG1909 themG846 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 moreG243.
HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, thou goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401: thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
He alsoG2532 that had receivedG2983 twoG1417 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and saidG2036, LordG2962, thou deliveredstG3860 unto meG3427 twoG1417 talentsG5007: beholdG2396, I have gainedG2770 twoG1417 otherG243 talentsG5007 besideG1909 themG846.

Do we beginG756 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselvesG1438? orG1508 need weG5535, asG5613 someG5100 others, epistlesG1992 of commendationG4956 toG4314 youG5209, orG2228 letters of commendationG4956 fromG1537 youG5216?
NowG1161 I prayG2172 toG4314 GodG2316 that yeG5209 doG3361+G4160 noG3367 evilG2556; notG3756 thatG2443 weG2249 should appearG5316 approvedG1384, butG235 thatG2443 yeG5210 should doG4160 that which is honestG2570, thoughG1161 weG2249 beG5600 asG5613 reprobatesG96.
ButG235 I knowG1097 youG5209, thatG3754 ye haveG2192 notG3756 the loveG26 of GodG2316 inG1722 youG1438.
I amG1473 comeG2064 inG1722 myG3450 Father'sG3962 nameG3686, andG2532 ye receiveG2983 meG3165 notG3756: ifG1437 anotherG243 shall comeG2064 inG1722 his ownG2398 nameG3686, himG1565 ye will receiveG2983.
HowG4459 canG1410 yeG5210 believeG4100, which receiveG2983 honourG1391 one of anotherG3844+G240, andG2532 seekG2212 notG3756 the honourG1391 that cometh fromG3844 GodG2316 onlyG3441?
ForG1063 we commendG4921 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 againG3825 unto youG5213, butG235 giveG1325 youG5213 occasionG874 to gloryG2745 onG5228 ourG2257 behalfG5228, thatG2443 ye may haveG2192 somewhat toG4314 answer them which gloryG2744 inG1722 appearanceG4383, andG2532 notG3756 in heartG2588. {in appearance: Gr. in the face}
Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, hearG191 theseG5128 wordsG3056; JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, a manG435 approvedG584 ofG575 GodG2316 amongG1519 youG5209 by miraclesG1411 andG2532 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG2316 didG4160 byG1223 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of youG5216, asG2531 ye yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 knowG1492:
Every wayH1870 of a manH376 is rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869: but the LORDH3068 ponderethH8505 the heartsH3826.
ForG1063 he that inG1722 these thingsG5125 servethG1398 ChristG5547 is acceptableG2101 to GodG2316, andG2532 approvedG1384 of menG444.
ButG235 he is a JewG2453, which is one inwardlyG1722+G2927; andG2532 circumcisionG4061 is that of the heartG2588, inG1722 the spiritG4151, and notG3756 in the letterG1121; whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is notG3756 ofG1537 menG444, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
Let another manH2114 praiseH1984 thee, and not thine own mouthH6310; a strangerH5237, and not thine own lipsH8193.
SaluteG782 ApellesG559 approvedG1384 inG1722 ChristG5547. SaluteG782 themG3588 which are ofG1537 Aristobulus'G711 household. {household: or, friends}
ThereforeG5620 judgeG2919 nothingG3361+G5100 beforeG4253 the timeG2540, untilG2193+G302 the LordG2962 comeG2064, whoG3739 bothG2532 will bring to lightG5461 the hidden thingsG2927 of darknessG4655, andG2532 will make manifestG5319 the counselsG1012 of the heartsG2588: andG2532 thenG5119 shall every manG1538 haveG1096 praiseG1868 ofG575 GodG2316.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto themG846, YeG5210 areG2075 they which justifyG1344 yourselvesG1438 beforeG1799 menG444; butG1161 GodG2316 knowethG1097 yourG5216 heartsG2588: forG3754 that which is highly esteemedG5308 amongG1722 menG444 isG2076 abominationG946 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 there mustG1163 beG1511 alsoG2532 heresiesG139 amongG1722 youG5213, thatG2443 they which are approvedG1384 may be madeG1096 manifestG5318 amongG1722 youG5213. {heresies: or, sects}
ThatG2443 the trialG1383 of yourG5216 faithG4102, being muchG4183 more preciousG5093 than of goldG5553 that perishethG622, thoughG1223+G1161 it be triedG1381 with fireG4442, might be foundG2147 untoG1519 praiseG1868 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391 atG1722 the appearingG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
TwoG1417 menG444 went upG305 intoG1519 the templeG2411 to prayG4336; the oneG1520 a PhariseeG5330, andG2532 the otherG2087 a publicanG5057.
The PhariseeG5330 stoodG2476 and prayedG4336 thusG5023 withG4314 himselfG1438, GodG2316, I thankG2168 theeG4671, thatG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 asG5618 otherG3062 menG444 are, extortionersG727, unjustG94, adulterersG3432, orG2228 evenG2532 asG5613 thisG3778 publicanG5057.
I fastG3522 twiceG1364 in the weekG4521, I give tithesG586 of allG3956 thatG3745 I possessG2932.
AndG2532 the publicanG5057, standingG2476 afar offG3113, wouldG2309 notG3756 lift upG1869 so much asG3761 his eyesG3788 untoG1519 heavenG3772, butG235 smoteG5180 uponG1519 hisG846 breastG4738, sayingG3004, GodG2316 be mercifulG2433 to meG3427 a sinnerG268.
I tellG3004 youG5213, this manG3778 went downG2597 toG1519 hisG846 houseG3624 justifiedG1344 rather thanG2228 the otherG1565: forG3754 every oneG3956 that exaltethG5312 himselfG1438 shall be abasedG5013; andG1161 he that humblethG5013 himselfG1438 shall be exaltedG5312.
