For if I want to boast, I wouldn’t be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I will spare you, so that no one can credit me with something beyond what he sees in me or hears from me,

我就是愿意夸口也不算狂，因为我必说实话；只是我禁止不说，恐怕有人把我看高了，过于他在我身上所看见所听见的。

就是我愿意夸口也不算狂，因为我会说实话；只是我绝口不谈，恐怕有人把我看得太高了，过于他在我身上所看见所听见的；

就是我愿意夸口也不算狂，因为我会说实话；只是我绝口不谈，恐怕有人把我看得太高了，过于他在我身上所看见所听见的；

就算我夸口，也不算狂妄，因为我所说的都是实话。只是我不会这样做，恐怕有人把我看得太高，超过了他对我的所见所闻。

即使我想夸口，也不算愚妄，因为我要说的是真话。但我闭口不提，免得有人把我看得太高，过于他在我身上所见所闻的。

其实就算我愿意夸耀，也不算是愚妄的人，因为我会讲真理。可是我要克制，免得有人把我看高了，过于他在我身上所看到的，或是从我所听到的。

即誇亦不為愚、以我所言者真也、但我自戒、恐人過其所見所聞於我者而擬我、

即誇亦不為狂、我言乃真、但余不言、恐人謂我過於所見所聞、

若欲自誇、亦不為狂、蓋我言乃真、但我自禁不言、恐有人以為我逾於所見於我、所聞於我者、

吾即欲誇、亦不致為狂妄、以所言皆實耳。然吾不欲多言、恐人之視我太高、超乎所見所聞於吾者。

Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say,

Suppose I decide to brag. That would not make me a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I don’t brag, so that no one will think more of me than they should. People should judge me by what I do and say.

though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth; But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.

If I wanted to boast, I would be no fool in doing so, because I would be telling the truth. But I won’t do it, because I don’t want anyone to give me credit beyond what they can see in my life or hear in my message,

For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.

For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.

For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me to be, or heareth from me.

For if I want to boast, I will not be a fool, because I will be telling the truth. But I will spare you, so that no one can credit me with something beyond what he sees in me or hears from me,

For even if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I would be telling the truth, but I refrain from this so that no one may regard me beyond what he sees in me or what he hears from me,

For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.

I repeat: Let no one consider me a fool. But if you do, at least accept me as a fool so that I can also boast a little.

I have been a fool; you forced it on me. You ought to have commended me, since I am not in any way inferior to those“ super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.

especially because of the extraordinary revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so that I would not exalt myself.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed forever, knows I am not lying.

If this is not true, then who can prove me a liar and show that my speech is worthless?

For we are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field, God’s building.According to God’s grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder, and another builds on it. But each one is to be careful how he builds on it.

I speak the truth in Christ— I am not lying; my conscience testifies to me through the Holy Spirit—

For if we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

For if I boast a little too much about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be put to shame.I don’t want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters.For it is said,“ His letters are weighty and powerful, but his physical presence is weak and his public speaking amounts to nothing.”

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

As God is faithful, our message to you is not“ Yes and no.”
