10 (For truly the epistles, he says, weighty and strong; but the presence of the body weak, and the word counted as nothing.) 11 Let such a one reckon this, that, such as we are in the word by the epistles, being away, such also, being present, in deed. 12 For we dare not appear or join ourselves to certain of them recommending themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and joining themselves to themselves, do not understand. 13 And we boast not of things immeasurable, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure divided to us, to reach even also to you. 14 For not as reaching to you we stretch beyond ourselves: for also even to you we came before in the good news of Christ: 15 Not boasting in things immeasurable, in the toils of others; and having hope, your faith being increased, to be enlarged in you according to our rule for abundance, 16 To announce the good hews in things beyond you, not in another's rule to boast for things prepared. 17 But he boasting, let him boast in the Lord. 18 For not he recommending himself, this is acceptable, but whom the Lord recommends. 2 Corinthians 10:10-18, Smith's Literal Translation.
