The Pulling Down Of Strongholds
10 Now I Shaul myself appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Moshiach, who in presence am lowly when among you, but being absent still have confidence towards you:
2 But I appeal to you, not to be troubled when I arrive, since I think I will have to be bold and brave against some, who think that we walk according to the flesh.
3 For though we are walking in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh:
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through our Eloha to the pulling down of strongholds;
5 Casting down imaginations and every high human matter that exalts itself against the da’at of YHUH, taking captive every thought to be obedient to Moshiach;
6 And we are ready to revenge all disobedience among some, when your obedience is complete. [6125]
7 Do you look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trusts that he belongs to Moshiach, let him rethink and understand, that, as he belongs to Moshiach, even so we belong to Moshiach.
8 For even if I should boast more of our authority, that YHUH has given us, not for your destruction but for your edification, I should not be ashamed:
9 I am hesitant so that I may not terrify you by my letter.
10 For his letters, they say, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak and his speech is weak.
11 Let the ones who think this understand, that, such as we are in word by letter when we are absent, so will we be also in action when we are present.
12 For we dare not count, or compare ourselves with those who are proud of, or who commend, themselves, for they measure themselves by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. [6126]
13 But we will not boast of things outside our limits, but according to the limits of the authority that YHUH has distributed to us, the limit needed to reach out even to you.
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our limits of authority, as if we did not ever reach you: for we have come all the way to you also by proclaiming The Besorah of Moshiach:
15 Not boasting of things beyond our limited measure, that is, of other men’s labors; but having tikvah, that as your emunah is increased, we also shall be increased by you, according to our limits among you,
16 And so we shall proclaim The Besorah in the regions beyond you, so as not to boast in another man’s limited authority, or what others have accomplished.
17 But he that boasts, let him boast about YHUH.
18 For not he that praises himself is approved, but whom the Master YHUH praises.
