2 CORINTHIANS
Chapter 10
Update: 2024.05.30
2 Cor. 10:1 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) I (ēgo) myself (autos), Paul (Paulos), accost (parakalō) you (humas) through (dia) [the sake, AE] of the (tēs) meekness (prautētos) and (kai) clemency (epieikeias) of the (tou) Christ (Christou), I who (hos), down according to (kata) face (prosōpon) [appearance, AE], truly (men) [am] [a] humble (tapeinos) [brother, v9:5, RE] among (en) you (humin)!
But (de) I being away from (apōn) [you, RE], I am confident (tharrō) in (eis) you (humas).
2 Cor. 10:2 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) I not being alongside (mē parōn) [of you, v1, RE], I cause myself to beg (deomai) of the (to) [Christ, v1, RE] to have confidence (tharrēsai) for the (tē) daring (pepoithēsei) which (hē) I am caused to count myself (logizomai) [as having, AE], to be audacious (tolmēsai) over (epi) [the sake, AE] of some (tinas), the (tous) [brothers, v9:5, ER] causing themselves to count (logizomenous) us (hēmas) as (hōs) walking around (peripatountas) down according to (kata) [the] flesh (sarka).
2 Cor. 10:3 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) <we are> [brothers, v9:5, RE] walking around (peripatountes) in (en) flesh (sarki), we absolutely do not cause ourselves to be soldiers (ou strateuometha) down according to (kata) [the] flesh (sarka)!
2 Cor. 10:4 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) the (ta) weapons (hopla) of the (tēs) armament (strateias) of us (hēmōn) [are] absolutely not (ou) flesh-based things (sarkika), BUT (alla), [are] inherently powered (dunata) [weapons, RE] for the (tō) God (theō), toward (pros) [the] down throw (kathairesin) of strongholds (ochurōmatōn)!
2 Cor. 10:5 (LIT/UBS4) <We are> [brothers, v9:5, ER] seizing down (kathairountes) reasonings (logismous), and (kai) every (pan) high body (hupsōma) [of reasoning, RE] causing itself to lift itself up (epairomenon) down against (kata) the (tēs) knowledge (gnōseōs) of the (tou) God (theou)!
And (kai) <we are> [brothers, v9:5, ER] taking captive at spear point (aichmalōtizontes) every (pan) perception (noēma) into (eis) the (tēn) attentive hearing (hupakoēn) of the (tou) Christ (Christou)!
2 Cor. 10:6 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) <we are> [brothers, v9:5, ER] holding (echontes) in (en) readiness (hetoimō) to avenge out (ekdikēsai) all (pasan) inattentive hearing (parakoēn), when perhaps (hotan) the (hē) attentive hearing (hupakoē) of you (humōn) may be fulfilled (plērōthē)!
(For a believer in his discipleship to Christ Jesus being led to being stripped of the power of holy Spirit through false teaching, see Mat. 15:9; John 8:31-47; Rom. 1:21-22; 2 Cor. 10:5-6; 11:13-15; Eph. 5:6-12; *Col. 2:8; 2 Tim. 3:1-15, 4:3-4; Tit. 1:10-14)
2 Cor. 10:7 (LIT/UBS4) You look at (blepete) the things (ta) down according to (kata) face (prosōpon) [appearance, AE].
If (ei) anyone (tis) has been persuaded (pepoithen) for himself (heautō) to be (einai) of Christ (Christou), <let this> [brother, v9:5, ER] cause himself to count (touto logizesthō) again (palin) over (eph’) [the sake, AE] of himself (heautou), that (hoti) down according to as (kathōs) he (autos) [is] of Christ (Christou), thusly (houtōs) we (hēmeis) [are] also (kai).
2 Cor. 10:8 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) even (te) if perhaps (ean) I may cause myself to boast (kauchēsōmai) abundantly (perissoteron) of something (ti) about (peri) the (tēs) authority (exousias) of us (hēmōn), of which (hēs) the (ho) lord (kurios) gave (edōken) into (eis) [the building of, AE] [a] domed-roof house3619 (oikodomēn), I shall absolutely not be ashamed (ouk aischunthēsomai), and (kai) absolutely not (ouk) into (eis) [a] downthrow (kathairesin) of you (humōn)!
2 Cor. 10:9 (LIT/UBS4) [My boast, RE] [is] not (mē) that (hina) I may conclude (doxō) perhaps (an) as (hōs) to fear you out (ekphobein humas) through (dia) [the sake, AE] of the (tōn) epistles (epistolōn);
2 Cor. 10:10 (LIT/UBS4) because (hoti) the (hai) epistles (epistolai), truly (men) weighty ones (bareiai) and (kai) strong ones (ischurai), they shed light5346 (phēsin)!
But (de) [is] the (hē) presence (parousia) of the (tou) body (sōmatos) disabled (asthenēs), and (kai) [is] the (ho) Word (logos) one having been rejected as absolutely nothing (exouthenēmenous)!?
2 Cor. 10:11 (LIT/UBS4) <Let> the (ho) [brother, v9:5, ER] like this (toioutos) cause himself to count (logizesthō) this (touto):
That (hoti), [brothers, v9:5, ER] such as (hoioi) we are (esmen) for the (tō) Word (logō) through (di’) epistles (epistolōn) [when, AE] we are being away from (apontes) [you, AE], [we are, RE] [brothers, v9:5, ER] like these (toioutoi) for work (ergō) for the (tō) [Word, RE] [when, AE] we are being alongside (parontes) also (kai)!
2 Cor. 10:12 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) we are absolutely not audacious enough (ou tolmōmen) to judge ourselves [to be] among (enkrinai heautous), or (ē) to judge [ourselves, RE] [to be] together with (sunkrinai), some (tisin) of the (tōn) [brothers, v9:5, ER] standing together with (sunistanontōn) themselves (heautous)!
BUT (alla) they (autoi), [brothers, v9:5, ER] measuring (metrountes) themselves (heautous) among (en) themselves (heautois), and (kai) [brothers, v9:5, ER] judging together with (sunkrinontes) themselves (heautous) for themselves (heautois), they absolutely do not put together (ou suniasin) [the epistles, v11, RE]!
(For what many people do, the ones who can’t put God’s Word together, see 1 Cor. 2:13; 2 Cor. 10:12)
2 Cor. 10:13 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) we (hēmeis) shall absolutely not cause ourselves to boast (ouk kauchēsometha) into (eis) the things (ta) unable to be measured (ametra), BUT (alla), [we shall cause ourselves to boast, RE] down according to (kata) the (to) measurement (metron) of the (tou) canon2583 (kanonos) of which (hou) the (ho) God (theos) divided (emerisen) to us (hēmin), [[a] canon, RE] of measurement (metrou) to arrive over (ephikesthai) unto (achri) you (humōn) also (kai)!
2 Cor. 10:14 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) as (hōs) we are being caused not to arrive over (mē ephiknoumenoi) into (eis) you (humas), we are absolutely not over-stretching (ou huperekteinomen) ourselves (heautous)!
Because (gar) unto (achri) you (humōn) also (kai) we came sooner (ephthasamen) in (en) the (tō) Evangelism (euangeliō) of the (tou) Christ (Christou),
2 Cor. 10:15 (LIT/UBS4) absolutely not causing ourselves to boast (kauchōmenoi) into (eis) the things (ta) unable to be measured (ametra), [boasting, RE] in (en) others' (allotriois) labors (kopois)!
But (de) we are having (echontes) hope (elpida) of the (tēs) belief (pisteōs) of you (humōn) being caused to grow (auxanomenēs) among (en) you (humin), to be made great (megalunthēnai) into (eis) abundance (perisseian), down according to (kata) the (ton) canon2583 (kanona) of us (hēmōn);
2 Cor. 10:16 (LIT/UBS4) to cause ourselves to evangelize (euangelisasthai) into (eis) the (ta) [brothers, v9:5, ER] of those beyond (huperekeina) you (humōn);
to cause ourselves to boast (kauchēsasthai) absolutely not (ouk) in (en) another (allotriō) canon2583 (kanoni), into (eis) the (ta) [brothers, v9:5, ER] made ready (hetoima)!
2 Cor. 10:17 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [brother, v9:5, ER] causing himself to boast (kauchōmenos), let him cause himself to boast (kauchasthō) in (en) [the] lord (kuriō)!
2 Cor. 10:18 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) the (ho) [brother, v9:5, ER] standing together with (sunistanōn) himself (heauton), that (ekeinos) [brother, v9:5, ER] is (estin) absolutely not (ou) [an] approved (dokimos) [brother, v9:5, ER]!
BUT (alla), [the [brother, v9:5, ER], RE] whom (hom) the (ho) lord (kurios) stands together with (sunistēsin), [that [brother, v9:5, ER], RE] [is, RE] [[an] approved [brother, v9:5, ER], RE]!
