10 Ekj selfst, Paul, prache junt derch Christus siene Saunftmoot en Jedult, ekj, dee seeha Deemietich sie mank junt, oba Brow wan ekj wajch sie.

Nu bed ekj, wiel ekj nich bie junt sie, daut wan ekj bie ju woa senne, nich bruck Driest senne enn daut Toofetruehe daut ekj raeakejn to bruke jaeajen daen dee meene daut wie nom Fleesch waundle.

Dan wan wie em Fleesch sent, doo wie doch nich nom Fleesch kjamfe.

Dan dee Jewaeare met dee wie kjamfe sent nich fleeschlich, oba kjraftich enn Gott aules dol to braeakje daut faust steit, mensche Jedanke,

en aules daut sikj jaeajen dee Erkjantnes fonn Gott oppstalt, en naeme aule Jedanke jefange dee jaeajen Jehuarsaum to Christus sent,

en sent reed, aulet Onnjehuarsaum to strofe, wanemma jun Jehuarsaum woat erfelt senne.

Jie kjikje bloos no daut waut fonn bute es. Wan irjent waea sikj secha es daut hee Christus aunjeheat, lot am doamet raeakjne daut soo aus hee Christus aunjeheat, soo sent wie uk.

En wan ekj sull dolla puche aewa dee Macht dee de Herr mie jejaeft haft junt opptobuehe en nich dol to riete, schaem ekj mie dowaeajen nich;

dan ekj wel nich ha daut jie denkje sele daut ekj junt met miene Breew enjste wel.

10 Dee saje daut siene Breew sent Strenj en Schwoa, oba enn Peersoon es hee kjarpalich Schwak, en siene Raed es tom fe-achte.

11 Lot soone doamet raeakjne, daut soo aus wie en Wead sent enn onnse Breew wan wie wajch sent, soo woa wie uk senne enn Woakj wan wie bie junt sent.

12 Wie woage onns nich bie to talle, oda to fejlikje met soone dee sikj selfst lowe; dan dee fejlikje sikj selfst met sikj selfst, en maete sikj selfst met sikj selfst, oba sent nich festentlijch.

13 Oba wie woare nich butamote puche, oba no dee Mot no dee Raeajel dee Gott onns aunfetrut haft, daut Mot daut bott junt reakjt.

14 Dan wie aewestrakje onns nich wan wie no junt kome, dan wie kjeeme sogoa bott junt met Christus sien Evanjeelium,

15 en puche onns nich butremote enn aundre aeare Oabeit, oba ha Hopninj daut soo aus jun Gloowe waust, wie uk kjenne derch junt, onnse Oabeit femeare no onns Mot,

16 en daut Evanjeelium praedje enn Lenda bie junt febie, en nich puche enn waut en aundra reed jemoakt haft.

17 Oba wan waea puche wel, dan lot am sikj enn daem Herr puche.

18 Dan nich soona dee sikj selfst loft, es aunjenaem, oba soone daem de Herr loft.

10 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:

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.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

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;

And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

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.

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:

That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

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 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 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 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 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 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 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
