yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present show courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, who count of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

有人以为我是凭着血气行事，我也以为必须用勇敢待这等人；求你们不要叫我在你们那里的时候，有这样的勇敢。

有人认为我们是凭着血气行事，我认为必须敢于对付这等人；我但求在那里的时候，不必这样勇敢。

有人认为我们是凭着血气行事，我认为必须敢于对付这等人；我但求在那里的时候，不必这样勇敢。

我去的时候，请不要逼我这样严厉地对待你们，我的严厉是用来对付那些说我凭血气行事的人。

求你们使我在你们那里的时候，不要满有自信地放胆对你们，我认为要以这样的自信，勇敢地对付那些以为我们是照着世俗的标准（“世俗的标准”原文作“肉体”）行事的人。

我请求，当我在你们那里的时候，我不需要大胆自信；我本来打算用这样的勇气来对付那些人——他们把我们看做是顺着肉体行事的。

有人以為我是憑着血氣行事，我也以為必須用勇敢待這等人；求你們不要叫我在你們那裏的時候，有這樣的勇敢。

有人認為我們是憑着血氣行事，我認為必須敢於對付這等人；我但求在那裏的時候，不必這樣勇敢。

有人認為我們是憑着血氣行事，我認為必須敢於對付這等人；我但求在那裏的時候，不必這樣勇敢。

我去的時候，請不要逼我這樣嚴厲地對待你們，我的嚴厲是用來對付那些說我憑血氣行事的人。

求你們使我在你們那裡的時候，不要滿有自信地放膽對你們，我認為要以這樣的自信，勇敢地對付那些以為我們是照著世俗的標準（“世俗的標準”原文作“肉體”）行事的人。

我請求，當我在你們那裡的時候，我不需要大膽自信；我本來打算用這樣的勇氣來對付那些人——他們把我們看做是順著肉體行事的。

有以我為依血氣而行者、我決意以勇待之、求爾勿使我於晤對時、以待若人者待爾、

勿使我近時儼然、蓋有謂我純以血氣行事者、我意當儼然待之、

且求爾勿使我就爾之時、亦有勇敢、蓋有人謂我乃按血氣而行者、我亦思必勇敢自信、毅然以待之、

予今求爾毋使我晤爾時、不得不勇於敢為、用懲以凡夫俗子視吾者。

I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world.

I am coming to see you. Please don’t make me be as bold as I expect to be toward some people. They think that I live the way the people of this world live.

I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh.

Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won’t have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives.

I beg you that when I am present I will not need to be bold with the confidence by which I plan to challenge certain people who think we are living according to the flesh.

I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I intend to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.

But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

I beg you that when I am present I will not need to be bold with the confidence by which I plan to challenge certain people who think we are behaving in an unspiritual way.

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.

now I ask that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence that( I expect) I will dare to use against some who consider us to be behaving according to human standards.

Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down.

I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to them that have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:—

But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,meekness, self- control; against such there is no law.And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.

For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except it be that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong.Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?But be it so, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.Did I take advantage of you by any one of them whom I have sent unto you?I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means there should be strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;

Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them that are puffed up, but the power.For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
