2 Corinthians 10

  1. 1And Y my silf Poul biseche you, bi the myldenesse and softnesse of Crist, which in the face am meke among you, and Y absent triste in you.
  2. 2For Y preie you, that lest Y present be not bold bi the trist, in which Y am gessid to be bold in to summe, that demen vs, as if we wandren aftir the fleisch.
  3. 3For we walkynge in fleisch, fiyten not aftir the fleisch.
  4. 4For the armuris of oure knyythod ben not fleischli, but myyti bi God to the distruccioun of strengthis. And we distrien counsels,
  5. 5and alle hiynesse that hiyeth it silf ayens the science of God, and dryuen `in to caitifte al vndirstonding in to the seruyce of Crist.
  6. 6And we han redi to venge al vnobedience, whanne youre obedience schal be fillid.
  7. 7Se ye the thingis that ben after the face. If ony man trustith to him silf, that he is of Crist, thenke he this thing eft anentis hym silf,
  8. 8for as he is Cristis, so also we. For if Y schal glorie ony thing more of oure power, which the Lord yaf to vs in to edifiyng, and not in to youre distruccioun, Y schal not be schamed.
  9. 9But that Y be not gessid as to fere you bi epistlis,
  10. 10for thei seien, That epistlis ben greuouse and stronge, but the presence of the bodi is feble, and the word worthi to be dispisid.
  11. 11He that is suche oon, thenke this, for suche as we absent ben in word bi pistlis, suche we ben present in dede.
  12. 12For we doren not putte vs among, or comparisoune vs to summen, that comenden hem silf; but we mesuren vs in vs silf, and comparisounen vs silf to vs.
  13. 13For we schulen not haue glorie ouer mesure, but bi the mesure of the reule which God mesuride to vs, the mesure that stretchith to you.
  14. 14For we ouerstretchen not forth vs, as not stretchinge to you. For to you we camen in the gospel of Crist,
  15. 15not gloriynge ouer mesure in othere mennus trauelis. For we `han hope of youre feith that wexith in you to be magnefied bi oure reule in abundaunce,
  16. 16also to preche in to tho thingis that ben biyendis you, not to haue glorie in othere mennus reule, in these thingis that ben maad redi.
  17. 17He that glorieth, haue glorie in the Lord.
  18. 18For not he that comendith hym silf is preuyd, but whom God comendith.
