G3588–ὁ–ho

and shall tell the Good News in the districts beyond you, not boasting in another man's sphere about work already done by him.

τὰ ta “that”τὰ ta “<the> [things]”

But "whoever boasts, let his boast be in the Lord."

ὁ ho “The [one]”

For it is not the man that commends himself who is really approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

ὁ ho “the [one]”ὁ ho “the”

I wish you could have borne with a little foolish boasting on my part. Nay, do bear with me.

τῇ tēa “<the>”

I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy. For I have betrothed you to Christ to present you to Him like a faithful bride to her one husband.

τῷ tō “<the>”

But I am afraid that, as the serpent in his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may be led astray from their single-heartedness and their fidelity to Christ.

ὁ ho “the”τῇ tēa “the”τὰ ta “the”τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τὸν ton “<the>”

If indeed some visitor is proclaiming among you another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the One you have already received or a Good News different from that which you have already welcomed, your toleration

ὁ ho “the [one]”

Why, I reckon myself in no respect inferior to those superlatively great Apostles.

τῶν tōn “to those”

And if in the matter of speech I am no orator, yet in knowledge I am not deficient. Nay, we have in every way made that fully evident to you.

τῷ tō “<the>”τῇ tēa “<the>”

Is it a sin that I abased myself in order for you to be exalted, in that I proclaimed God's Good News to you without fee or reward?

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Other Churches I robbed, receiving pay from them in order to do you service.

τὴν tēn “the”

And when I was with you and my resources failed, there was no one to whom I became a burden--for the brethren when they came from Macedonia fully supplied my wants--and I kept myself from being in the least a burden to you, and will do so still.

τὸ to “<the>”οἱ hoi “the”

Christ knows that it is true when I say that I will not be stopped from boasting of this anywhere in Greece.

ἡ hē “<the>”τοῖς tois “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

And why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do.

ὁ ho “<the>”

But I will persist in the same line of conduct in order to cut the ground from under the feet of those who desire an opportunity of getting themselves recognized as being on a level with us in the matters about which they boast.

τὴν tēn “the”τῶν tōn “of those”

For men of this stamp are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, assuming the garb of Apostles of Christ.

οἱ hoi “<the>”

And no wonder. Satan, their master, can disguise himself as an angel of light.

ὁ ho “<the>”

It is therefore no great thing for his servants also to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be in accordance with their actions.

οἱ hoi “the”τὸ to “<the>”τὰ ta “the”

What I am now saying, I do not say by the Lord's command, but as a fool in his folly might, in this reckless boasting.

τῇ tēa “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

Since many boast for merely human reasons, I too will boast.

τὴν tēn “the”

Wise as you yourselves are, you find pleasure in tolerating fools.

τῶν tōn “<the>”

Three times I have been beaten with Roman rods, once I have been stoned, three times I have been shipwrecked, once for full four and twenty hours I was floating on the open sea.

τῷ tō “the”

And besides other things, which I pass over, there is that which presses on me daily--my anxiety for all the Churches.

τῶν tōn “the [things]”ἡ hē “the”ἡ hē “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”τῶν tōn “the”

If boast I must, it shall be of things which display my weakness.

τὰ ta “[in] the [things]”τῆς tēs “of the”

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--He who is blessed throughout the Ages--knows that I am speaking the truth.
