2 Corinthians 10
10
1Now I myself, Sha'ul, appeal to you gently in Moshiach and in his anavah (humility) I who am peh el peh (panim el panim, face to face) “lowly” among you#10:1 1C 2:3 but have “chutzpah” with you when absent.#10:1 1C 2:4; 7:8
2Now I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show enough chutzpah to oppose certain persons,#10:2 1C 4:21 the ones considering us to act according to the standards of the basar of the Olam Hazeh.
3For though walking in basar, we war not according to the basar,
4For the weapons of our warfare are not of the basar,#10:4 Ep 6:13-17 but full of ko'ach through Hashem to the overthrowing of strongholds, reasonings,#10:4 Jer 1:10; 23:29
5And every high minded thing rising up against the da'as of Hashem, and leading captive every machshavah (thought) into the mishma'at of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach,#10:5 Isa 2:11,12
6And prepared to discipline all disobedience whenever your mishma'at (obedience) is completed.#10:6 2C 2:9
7You look at things according to outward appearance. If anyone has persuaded himself that he belongs to Moshiach, have zikaron (recollection) of this: as he is of Moshiach, so also are we.
8Now even if I should glory a little too much#10:8 2C 12:6 in our samchut (authority)#10:8 2C 13:10 [as Shlichim of Moshiach] which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will make good my claim.#10:8 Jer 1:10
9I did not intend to seem as if my iggrot were meant to frighten you.
10For they say, “His iggrot indeed are weighty and strong but his physical presence is weak and his shprach (diction), as far as rhetoric is concerned, is despicable.”
11Let such a one consider this: that the dvar we speak through iggrot when absent will become action we will very well do when present!#10:11 2C 13:2,10
12For we dare not to make a geder (classification) for ourselves or to compare ourselves with some of the ones commending themselves,#10:12 2C 3:1; 5:12 but when they measure themselves by the standard of one another or compare themselves with one another, they do not show seichel.
13But we will not boast out of our depth, but will be shomer to keep within the sadeh (field) Hashem has apportioned to us#10:13 Ro 12:3 which reached out even as far as you.#10:13 Ga 2:7 8
14For we were not getting out of our depth when we reached even as far as you. We were the chalutzim (pioneers) who came with the Besuras HaGeulah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
15We do not boast out of our depth, that is, in the labor of others; but tikvateinu is that, as your emunah grows, our sphere of Shlichus (Divine mission) among you will also be enlarged,
16So that we may abundantly proclaim the Besuras HaGeulah to the regions beyond you, without boasting in someone elseʼs Messianic chalutz accomplishments.
17But HAMMIT HALLELYIT HALLEL; (“The one boasting let him boast” in the L-rd);#10:17 Jer 9:23,24; Ps 34:2; 44:8; 1C 1:13
18For it is not the one commending himself that has the haskama (approval), but it is the one to whom [Moshiach] Adoneinu gives the haskama.#10:18 1C 4:4-5

2 Corinthians 10
10
1 Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly amongst you, but being absent am bold towards you. 2Yes, 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. 3For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; 4for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, 5throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
7 Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s. 8For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed, 9that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters. 10For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.” 11Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
12 For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding. 13But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you. 14For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ, 15not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labours, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence, 16so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done. 17But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”#Jeremiah 9:24 18For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
