But what G3739 I do, G4160 that I will do, G4160 that I may cut G1581 off G1581 occasion G874 from them which desire G2309 occasion; G874 that wherein G1722 G3757 they glory, G2744 they may be found G2147 even G2532 as we.

I speak G3004 as concerning G2596 reproach, G819 as though G3754 we had been weak. G770 However, when ever G1722 G3739 G302 any G5100 is bold, G5111 (I speak G3004 foolishly, G1722 G877 ) I am bold also. G5111 G2504

Are they ministers G1249 of Christ? G5547 (I speak G2980 as a fool) G3912 I am more; G5228 in labors G2873 more G4056 abundant, G4056 in stripes G4127 above G5234 measure, G5234 in prisons G5438 more G4056 frequent, G4056 in deaths G2288 oft. G4178

For we dare G5111 not make ourselves G1438 of the number, G1469 or G2228 compare G4793 ourselves G1438 with some G5100 that commend G4921 themselves: G1438 but they measuring G3354 themselves G1438 by themselves, G1438 and comparing G4793 themselves G1438 among themselves, G1438 are not wise. G4920

For we stretch G5239 not ourselves G1438 beyond G5239 our measure, as though we reached G2185 not to you: for we are come G5348 as far G891 as to you also G2532 in preaching G2782 the gospel G2098 of Christ: G5547

To preach G2097 the gospel G2097 in the regions beyond G5238 you, and not to boast G2744 in another G245 man's G245 line G2583 of things made G2092 ready G2092 to our hand.

For not he that commends G4921 himself G1438 is approved, G1384 but whom G3739 the Lord G2962 commends. G4921

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 Let not the wise H2450 man glory H1984 in his wisdom, H2451 neither H408 let the mighty H1368 man glory H1984 in his might, H1369 let not the rich H6223 man glory H1984 in his riches: H6239

But let him that glories H1984 glory H1984 in this, H2063 that he understands H7919 and knows H3045 me, that I am the LORD H3068 which exercise H6213 loving kindness, H2617 judgment, H4941 and righteousness, H6666 in the earth: H776 for in these H428 things I delight, H2654 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

We are fools G3474 for Christ's G5547 sake, but you are wise G5429 in Christ; G5547 we are weak, G772 but you are strong; G2478 you are honorable, G1741 but we are despised. G820

For all G3956 flesh G4561 is as grass, G5528 and all G3956 the glory G1391 of man G444 as the flower G438 of grass. G5528 The grass G5528 wither, G3583 and the flower G438 thereof G846 falls G1601 away: G1601

Of such G5108 an one will I glory: G2744 yet G1161 of myself G1683 I will not glory, G2744 but in my G3450 infirmities. G769

For though G1437 I would desire G2309 to glory, G2744 I shall not be a fool; G878 for I will say G2046 the truth: G225 but now I forbear, G5339 lest G3361 any G5100 man should think G3049 of me above G5228 that which G3739 he sees G991 me to be, or G2228 that he hears G191 of me.

And he said G2046 to me, My grace G5485 is sufficient G714 for you: for my strength G1411 is made G5048 perfect G5048 in weakness. G769 Most G2236 gladly G2236 therefore G3767 will I rather G3123 glory G2744 in my infirmities, G769 that the power G1411 of Christ G5547 may rest G1981 on me.

I am become G1096 a fool G878 in glorying; G2744 you have compelled G315 me: for I ought G3784 to have been commended G4921 of you: for in nothing G3762 am I behind G5302 the very G3029 most chief G5228 G3029 apostles, G652 though G1499 I be nothing. G3762
