절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Paul Defends His Work for Christ Do you think I am a coward when I am with you and brave when I am far away? Well, I ask you to listen, because Christ himself was humble and gentle.	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	Some people have said we act like the people of this world. So when I arrive, I expect I will have to be firm and forceful in what I say to them. Please don't make me treat you that way.	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	We live in this world, but we don't act like its people	For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4	or fight our battles with the weapons of this world. Instead, we use God's power that can destroy fortresses. We destroy arguments	(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5	and every bit of pride that keeps anyone from knowing God. We capture people's thoughts and make them obey Christ.	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 when you completely obey him, we will punish anyone who refuses to obey.	And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7	You judge by appearances. If any of you think you are the only ones who belong to Christ, then think again. We belong to Christ as much as you do.	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	Maybe I brag a little too much about the authority that the Lord gave me to help you and not to hurt you. Yet I am not embarrassed to brag.	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	And I am not trying to scare you with my letters.	That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10	Some of you are saying, “Paul's letters are harsh and powerful. But in person, he is a weakling and has nothing worth saying.”	For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
11	Those people had better understand that when I am with you, I will do exactly what I say in my letters.	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	We won't dare compare ourselves with those who think so much of themselves. But they are foolish to compare themselves with themselves.	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	We won't brag about something we don't have a right to brag about. We will only brag about the work God has sent us to do, and you are part of that work.	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	We are not bragging more than we should. After all, we did bring the message about Christ to you.	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	We don't brag about what others have done, as if we had done those things ourselves. But I hope as you become stronger in your faith, we will be able to reach many more of the people around you. That has always been our goal.	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	Then we will be able to preach the good news in other lands where we cannot take credit for work someone else has already done.	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	The Scriptures say, “If you want to brag, then brag about the Lord.”	But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18	You may brag about yourself, but the only approval that counts is the Lord's approval.	For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
