The letter on boasting within proper limits

분량의 한계를 따라 하는 자랑에 대한 편지의 말

2 Corinthians 10:7–18: The writer (“I”) says, “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. For 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, that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters. For, ‘His letters’, they say, ‘are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.’ Let 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. 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. But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you. For 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, not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence, so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done. But ‘he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.’ For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.” At 10:7 the Korean Revised Version states 너희는 외모만 보는도다, where WEB asks, “Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face?”
