Tetapi ko bepikeh ko kae hok polu ncodi gompong ketika ko lawan balo dik ngiro bahwa me sodong midek menurut daging. 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 PBDH Kano walaupun me midek nting daging, me kae kae nimong pohong menurut daging. BSB BSB: For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
4 PBDH Kano senjata-senjata me bepohong bikinglah secara-daging. Melainkan, senjata-senjata dik mpo kuaso ilahi nyok ngancoh benteng-benteng-pertahanan.

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 PBDH Kano meskipun ko bangga cik-belobeh tentang otoritas me, dik Penompo jeh munyo kone me nyok membangun mo ngan biking nyok ngancoh mo, ko kae akan ningkongun. BSB BSB: For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.

11 PBDH Nadulah nyo moh han ncodi sadar bahwa oseh me sais bobo-bobo sae cuhak-cuhak me ketika me kae-hadir adalah me dik supo akan ise sais tindakan-tindakan ketika me ise nting ngonyuh.

Tetapi ketika balo ngukur diri-balo-todek gole ngan dik biking, balo kae ise pengertian. 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 PBDH Akan tetapi, me, kae akan bemegah melampaui betas-batas. Melainkan, me hanya akan ngodide'e nting sais batas-batas sae oneh dik Allah jeh tugaskan kone me, batas-batas dik menjangkau sejauh mo.

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 PBDH Me mengharapkan nyok hal to, supayo me panai khotbahkan injil bahkan melampaui daerah-daerah mo. Me kae hok bomegah tentang kijo dik sodong ningkodi nting daerah milik-nyo-biking. 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 PBDH Tetapi nadulah bahongoseh dik ajeh-bomegah, bomegah sais Penompo." BSB BSB: Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
18 PBDH Kano bikinglah bahongoseh dik merekomendasikan diride'e-todek dik nihimo. Melainkan, bahongoseh dik Penompo rekomendasikan. BSB BSB: For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
