2 Corinthians 10:10-18 ▼

10 For the letters sayth he, are sore and strong: but his bodyly presence is weake, and his speache rude.

11 Let hym that is such, thynke on this wise: that as we are in worde by letters, when we are absent, such are we in deede when we are present.

12 For we dare not make our selues of the number of them, or to compare our selues to them which praise themselues. Neuerthelesse, whyle they measure them selues, with them selues, and compare them selues with them selues, they vnderstande not.

13 But we wyll not reioyce aboue measure: but accordyng to the measure of the rule, which God hath distributed vnto vs, a measure to reache euen vnto you.

14 For we stretch not out our selues beyonde measure, as though we reached not vnto you: For euen to you also haue we come with the Gospell of Christe:

15 And we boast not our selues out of measure in other mens labours: Yea, and we hope, when your fayth is increased among you, to be magnified accordyng to our measure aboundauntly,

16 And that I shall preache the Gospell, in those regions which are beyonde you: and not to glorie of those thynges, which by another mans measure are prepared alredy.

17 But let hym that glorieth, glorie in the Lorde.

18 For he that prayseth hymselfe, is not alowed, but whom the Lorde prayseth.
