BSB BSB: I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.
3 PBA Memang, kame' masih idup de; lam de'ging, tapi kame' kok be'juang secaha de'ging. BSB BSB: For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
4 PBA Sbe'b, se'nye'ta-se'nye'ta be'pe'hang kame' buke'n agi de'ging, tapi agi kekuatan ilahi ondok nganjo'hkan benteng-benteng. BSB BSB: The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the flesh. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5 PBA Kame me'hunduh pe'miki, h-pe'miki, h setiap hal tingi nang de'bengun atas somongnya manisia ondok ne'ndang pengenalan akan Tuan Allah.

Kalau ade' ohang nang yake'n dihinya ade'ah punya Kristus, bie, h ah die' miki, hkan be'lik agi hal ika, yaitu semacam manah die' ade' ah punyanya Kristus, kame' pon gitu juge'. BSB BSB: You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.
8 PBA Bahkan, kalaupon aku agak be'lebih be'be'se'h ati atoritas, nang Tuan Allah be'hikan ke'na kame' ondok membe'ngun mika buke'n ondok me'husakkan mika, aku kok akan malu.

9 PBA Aku konak tambak seolah-olah aku akan me'nakotkan mika dengan suhat-suhat aku. BSB BSB: I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters.

11 PBA Bie, h ah uhang macam gitu miki, hkan hal ika, yaitu apa nang kame' cakap be'k suhat sa'at kame' kok be'sama mika, sama macam kelakun kame sa'at be'sama mika. BSB BSB: Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.

BSB BSB: We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.
13 PBA Akan tetapi, kame kokkan be'be'se, h ati atas hal-hal nang me'lambau be'tas kame, tapi menuhut be'tas nag de'te'tapkan Tuan Allah lah de'be'gin ke'na kame, yaitu be'tas ondok nye'nggau sambai ke'na mika juge'. BSB BSB: We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
14 PBA Sbe'b, kame' kok sambai me'lambau be'tas kame, se'olah-olah kame' kok nye'nggau sambai ke'na mika. Kame ah nang mola sekali sambai ke'na mika dengan Kabe, h be'ik Kristus.

15 PBA Kame' juge' kok be'be'se, h ati me'lambau be'tas kame dengan be'be'se, h ati atas susah payah ohang lain, tapidengan be'ahap be'he'sanya macam manah iman mika be'tumu'h, kawasan khe'je' kame' be'k andaha mika akan semakin de'kuak lagi, BSB BSB: Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,
16 PBA bie, h kame de'pat ngabe, hkan Kabe, h Be'ik ke kawasan-kawasan de lue, h mika, kok be; be'se, h ati atas apa nang lah de'se'le'saikan be'k kawasan khe'je'nya uhang lain. BSB BSB: so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
17 PBA "Sapa nang nak be'be'se, h ati, bie, h ah be'k de'lam Tuhan." BSB BSB: Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
18 PBA Sbe'b, buke'n ohang nang memujin dihinya senihi nang te'bukti ta, an uji, tapi ohang nang Tuhan puji BSB BSB: For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
