Now G1161 I Paul G3972 myself beseech G3870 you by the meekness G4236 and gentleness G1932 of Christ, G5547 who G3739 in presence G4383 am base G5011 among G1722 you, but being absent G548 am bold G2292 toward G1519 you:

But I beseech G1189 you, that I may not be bold G2292 when I am present G3918 with that confidence, G4006 with which G3739 I think G3049 to be bold G5111 against G1909 some, G5100 which G3588 think G3049 of us as if we walked G4043 according G2596 to the flesh. G4561

For his letters, G1992 say G5346 they, are weighty G926 and powerful; G2478 but his bodily G4983 presence G3952 is weak, G770 and his speech G3056 contemptible. G1848

Therefore G1223 G5124 I write G1125 these G5023 things being absent, G548 lest G2443 G3361 being present G3918 I should use G5530 sharpness, G664 according G2596 to the power G1849 which G3739 the Lord G2962 has given G1325 me to edification, G3619 and not to destruction. G2506

Are they Hebrews? G1445 so G2504 am I. Are they Israelites? G2475 so G2504 am I. Are they the seed G4690 of Abraham? G11 so G2504 am I.

Of the Jews G2453 five G3999 times G3999 received G2983 I forty G5062 stripes save G3844 one. G3391

In journeys G3597 often, G3740 in perils G2794 of waters, G4215 in perils G2794 of robbers, G3027 in perils G2794 by my own countrymen, G1085 in perils G2794 by the heathen, G1484 in perils G2794 in the city, G4172 in perils G2794 in the wilderness, G2047 in perils G2794 in the sea, G2281 in perils G2794 among G1722 false G5569 brothers; G5569

For we are the circumcision, G4061 which G3588 worship G3000 God G2316 in the spirit, G4151 and rejoice G2744 in Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 and have no G3756 confidence G3982 in the flesh. G4561

Circumcised G4061 the eighth G3637 day, G2250 of the stock G1085 of Israel, G2474 of the tribe G5443 of Benjamin, G958 an Hebrew G1446 of the Hebrews; G1445 as touching G2596 the law, G3551 a Pharisee; G5330

That which G3739 I speak, G2980 I speak G2980 it not after G2596 the Lord, G2962 but as it were foolishly, G1722 G877 in this G5026 confidence G5287 of boasting. G2746

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
