Seconda lettera ai Corinzi 10

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Ipse autem ego Paulus obse cro vos per mansuetudinem et modestiamChristi, qui in facie quidem humilis inter vos, absens autem confido in vobis;	1 Now 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:
2 rogo autem, ne praesens audeam per eam confidentiam, quae existimo audere inquosdam, qui arbitrantur nos tamquam secundum carnem ambulemus.	2 But 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.
3 In carne enimambulantes, non secundum carnem militamus	3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 — nam arma militiae nostrae noncarnalia sed potentia Deo ad destructionem munitionum — consilia destruentes	4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 set omnem altitudinem extollentem se adversus scientiam Dei, et in captivitatemredigentes omnem intellectum in obsequium Christi,	5 Casting 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;
6 et in promptu habentesulcisci omnem inoboedientiam, cum impleta fuerit vestra oboedientia.	6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 Quae secundum faciem sunt, videte. Si quis confidit sibi Christi se esse, hoccogitet iterum apud se, quia sicut ipse Christi est, ita et nos.	7 Do 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.
8 Nam et siamplius aliquid gloriatus fuero de potestate nostra, quam dedit Dominus inaedificationem et non in destructionem vestram, non erubescam,	8 For 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:
9 ut nonexistimer tamquam terrere vos per epistulas;	9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10 quoniam quidem “ Epistulae —inquiunt — graves sunt et fortes, praesentia autem corporis infirma, et sermocontemptibilis ”.	10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
11 Hoc cogitet, qui eiusmodi est, quia quales sumus verboper epistulas absentes, tales et praesentes in facto.	11 Let 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.
12 Non enim audemus inserere aut comparare nos quibusdam, qui seipsoscommendant; sed ipsi se in semetipsis metientes et comparantes semetipsos sibi,non intellegunt.	12 For 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.
13 Nos autem non ultra mensuram gloriabimur sed secundummensuram regulae, quam impertitus est nobis Deus, mensuram pertingendi usque advos.	13 But 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.
14 Non enim quasi non pertingentes ad vos superextendimus nosmetipsos,usque ad vos enim pervenimus in evangelio Christi;	14 For 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:
15 non ultra mensuramgloriantes in alienis laboribus, spem autem habentes, crescente fide vestra, invobis magnificari secundum regulam nostram in abundantiam,	15 Not 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,
16 ad evangelizandumin iis, quae ultra vos sunt, et non in aliena regula gloriari in his, quaepraeparata sunt.	16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
17 Qui autem gloriatur, in Domino glorietur;	17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18 non enim qui seipsum commendat,ille probatus est, sed quem Dominus commendat.	18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
