我说这话是羞辱自己，好像我们从前是软弱的。然而，人在何事上勇敢，（我说句愚妄话，）我也勇敢。

说来惭愧，在这方面好像我们是太软弱了。然而，我说句蠢话，人在什么事上敢夸口，我也敢夸口。

说来惭愧，在这方面好像我们是太软弱了。然而，我说句蠢话，人在什么事上敢夸口，我也敢夸口。

惭愧得很，我必须说，我们太软弱了，做不出那样的事！然而，别人敢夸口的，让我再讲一句傻话，我也敢。

说来惭愧，我们太软弱了。说句愚昧的话，如果有人在什么事上是勇敢的，我也是勇敢的。

说来惭愧，我们倒好像是软弱的。但如果有人在什么事上大胆——我说句愚妄的话——我也大胆！

我說這話是羞辱自己，好像我們從前是軟弱的。然而，人在何事上勇敢，（我說句愚妄話，）我也勇敢。

說來慚愧，我們太軟弱了。說句愚昧的話，如果有人在甚麼事上是勇敢的，我也是勇敢的。

說句不體面的話吧，這樣的事，我們就太軟弱作不來了！其實呢、憑愚氣說吧，誰在甚麼事上大膽，我也大膽！

說來慚愧，我們倒好像是軟弱的。但如果有人在什麼事上大膽——我說句愚妄的話——我也大膽！

此我卑己而言、如嘗懦弱、但人所毅然、我亦毅然、斯言有若愚也、

余言若狂、有辱我者、謂我庸劣、如彼儼然、余亦儼然、

且我辱己而言、似我為懦弱者、然彼有所敢誇、我亦敢誇、我此言似狂矣、

吾之狂妄、尚不及此也。惟若有人對予信口雌黃、以予為愚昧、則恕我狂妄、吾亦儼然不敢多讓。

To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! Whatever anyone else dares to boast about— I am speaking as a fool— I also dare to boast about.

I’m ashamed to have to say that I was too weak for that! Whatever anyone else dares to brag about, I also dare to brag about. I’m speaking like a fool!

To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever anyone else dares to boast of— I am speaking as a fool— I also dare to boast of that.

I’m ashamed to say that we’ve been too“ weak” to do that! But whatever they dare to boast about— I’m talking like a fool again— I dare to boast about it, too.

I say this to our shame: We have been too weak for that! But in whatever anyone dares to boast— I am talking foolishly— I also dare:

To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison. But in whatever respect anyone else is bold— I am speaking in foolishness— I too am bold.

To our shame I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold— I speak foolishly— I am bold also.

I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold( I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

I say this to our shame: We have been weak. But in whatever anyone dares to boast— I am talking foolishly— I also dare:

I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold,( I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

( To my disgrace I must say that we were too weak for that!) But whatever anyone else dares to boast about( I am speaking foolishly), I also dare to boast about the same thing.

I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold( I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

For some say,“ His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.” (niv)

In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool. (niv)

Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham’s descendants? So am I.Are they servants of Christ?( I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea,I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers.I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. (niv)

By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you— I, Paul, who am“ timid” when face to face with you, but“ bold” toward you when away!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. (niv)

This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority— the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down. (niv)

For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.
