* Now I Paul myself beseech (5719 ) you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ , who in presence am base among you , but being absent (5752 ) am bold (5719 ) toward you : * But I beseech (5736 ) you , that I may not be bold (5658 ) when I am present (5752 ) with that confidence , wherewith I think (5736 ) to be bold (5658 ) against some , which think (5740 ) of us as if we walked (5723 ) according to the flesh . * For though we walk (5723 ) in the flesh , we do not war (5731 ) after the flesh : * (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal , but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds ;) * Casting down (5723 ) imaginations , and every high thing that exalteth itself (5734 ) against the knowledge of God , and bringing into captivity (5723 ) every thought to the obedience of Christ ; * And having (5723 ) in a readiness to revenge (5658 ) all disobedience , when your obedience is fulfilled (5686 ). * Do ye look on (5719 ) things after the outward appearance ? If any man trust (5754 ) to himself that he is (5750 ) Christs , let him of himself think (5737 ) this again , that , as he is Christs , even so are we Christs . * For though I should boast (5667 ) somewhat more of our authority , which the Lord hath given (5656 ) us for edification , and not for your destruction , I should not be ashamed (5701 ): * That I may not seem (5661 ) as if I would terrify (5721 ) you by letters . * For his letters , say they (5748 ), are weighty and powerful ; but his bodily presence is weak , and his speech contemptible (5772 ). * Let such an one think (5737 ) this , that , such as we are (5748 ) in word by letters when we are absent (5752 ), such will we be also in deed when we are present (5752 ).
