1Now 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:2But 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.3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)5Casting 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;6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.7Do 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.8For 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:9That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.10For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.11Let 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.12For 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.13But 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.14For 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:15Not 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,16To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.17But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.18For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

الرّسول يُعارض الإتّهامات الموجهة إليه

1ثُمَّ أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِوَدَاعَةِ المَسِيحِ وَحِلْمِهِ، أَنَا نَفْسِي، بُولُسُ، الَّذِي فِي الْحَضْرَةِ ذَلِيلٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَأَمَّا فِي الْغَيْبَةِ فَمُتَجَاسِرٌ عَلَيْكُمْ،2وَلَكِنْ أَطْلُبُ أَنْ لاَ أَتَجَاسَرَ وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ بِالثِّقَةِ الَّتِي بِهَا أَرَى أَنِّي سَأَجْتَرِئُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ يَحْسِبُونَنَا كَأَنَّنَا نَسْلُكُ حَسَبَ الْجَسَدِ.3لأَنَّنَا وَإِنْ كُنَّا نَسْلُكُ فِي الْجَسَدِ، لَسْنَا حَسَبَ الْجَسَدِ نُحَارِبُ،4إِذْ أَسْلِحَةُ مُحَارَبَتِنَا لَيْسَتْ جَسَدِيَّةً بَلْ قَادِرَةٌ بِاللهِ عَلَى هَدْمِ حُصُونٍ،5هَادِمِينَ ظُنُوناً وَكُلَّ عُلْوٍ يَرْتَفِعُ ضِدَّ مَعْرِفَةِ اللهِ، وَمُسْتَأْسِرِينَ كُلَّ فِكْرٍ إِلَى طَاعَةِ المَسِيحِ،6وَمُسْتَعِدِّينَ لأَنْ نَنْتَقِمَ عَلَى كُلِّ عِصْيَانٍ، مَتَى كَمَلَتْ طَاعَتُكُمْ.

7أَتَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى مَا هُوَ حَسَبَ الْحَضْرَةِ؟ إِنْ وَثِقَ أَحَدٌ بِنَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ لِلْمَسِيحِ فَلْيَحْسِبْ هَذَا أَيْضاً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، أَنَّهُ كَمَا هُوَ لِلْمَسِيحِ كَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ أَيْضاً لِلْمَسِيحِ.8فَإِنِّي وَإِنِ افْتَخَرْتُ شَيْئاً أَكْثَرَ بِسُلْطَانِنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَانَا إِيَّاهُ الرَّبُّ لِبُنْيَانِكُمْ، لاَ لِهَدْمِكُمْ، لاَ أُخْجَلُ،9لِئَلاَّ أَظْهَرَ كَأَنِّي أُخِيفُكُمْ بِالرَّسَائِلِ.10لأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ، الرَّسَائِلُ ثَقِيلَةٌ وَقَوِيَّةٌ وَأَمَّا حُضُورُ الْجَسَدِ فَضَعِيفٌ وَالْكَلاَمُ حَقِيرٌ.11مِثْلُ هَذَا فَلْيَحْسِبْ أَنَّنَا كَمَا نَحْنُ فِي الْكَلاَمِ بِالرَّسَائِلِ وَنَحْنُ غَائِبُونَ، هَكَذَا نَكُونُ أَيْضاً بِالْفِعْلِ وَنَحْنُ حَاضِرُونَ.12لأَنَّنَا لاَ نَجْتَرِئُ أَنْ نَعُدَّ أَنْفُسَنَا بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَمْدَحُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَلاَ أَنْ نُقَابِلَ أَنْفُسَنَا بِهِمْ، بَلْ هُمْ، إِذْ يَقِيسُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَيُقَابِلُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، لاَ يَفْهَمُونَ.13وَلَكِنْ نَحْنُ لاَ نَفْتَخِرُ إِلَى مَا لاَ يُقَاسُ بَلْ حَسَبَ قِيَاسِ الْقَانُونِ الَّذِي قَسَمَهُ لَنَا اللهُ، قِيَاساً لِلْبُلُوغِ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْضاً.14لأَنَّنَا لاَ نُمَدِّدُ أَنْفُسَنَا كَأَنَّنَا لَسْنَا نَبْلُغُ إِلَيْكُمْ، إِذْ قَدْ وَصَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْضاً فِي إِنْجِيلِ المَسِيحِ،15غَيْرَ مُفْتَخِرِينَ إِلَى مَا لاَ يُقَاسُ فِي أَتْعَابِ آخَرِينَ بَلْ رَاجِينَ، إِذَا نَمَا إِيمَانُكُمْ، أَنْ نَتَعَظَّمَ بَيْنَكُمْ حَسَبَ قَانُونِنَا بِزِيَادَةٍ،16لِنُبَشِّرَ إِلَى مَا وَرَاءَكُمْ، لاَ لِنَفْتَخِرَ بِالأُمُورِ المُعَدَّةِ فِي قَانُونِ غَيْرِنَا.17وَأَمَّا مَنِ افْتَخَرَ، فَلْيَفْتَخِرْ بِالرَّبِّ،18لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَنْ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ هُوَ المُزَكَّى، بَلْ مَنْ يَمْدَحُهُ الرَّبُّ.
