1 A sam ja, Pavle, molim vas krotosti radi i tišine Hristove, koji sam pred vama ponižen prema vama, a kad nisam kod vas, slobodan sam prema vama. 2 Molim pak da mi ne bude potrebno kad budem kod vas, onako slobodan biti kao što mislim da smem protiv nekih koji misle za nas da po telu živimo; 3 jer ako i živimo po telu, ne borimo se po telu. 4 Jer oružje našeg vojevanja nije telesno, nego silno od Boga na raskopavanje gradova, da kvarimo pomisli 5 i svaku visinu koja se podiže na poznanje Božije, i robimo svaki razum za pokornost Hristu, 6 i u pripravnosti imamo osvetu za svaku nepokornost, kad se izvrši vaša pokornost. 7 Gledate li na ono što vam je pred očima? Ako se ko uzda da je Hristov neka misli opet u sebi da kako je on Hristov tako smo i mi Hristovi. 8 Jer ako se šta i više pohvalim vlašću našom koju nam dade Gospod na popravljanje, a ne na kvarenje vaše, neću se postideti. 9 Ali da se ne pokažem kao da vas plašim poslanicama; 10 jer su poslanice, veli, teške i jake, a kad je telom pred nama, slab je, i reč njegova ne valja ništa. 11 Ovo neka pomisli takav da kakvi smo u reči po poslanicama kad nismo kod vas, takvi smo i u delu kad smo tu. 12 Jer ne smemo sebe mešati ili se porediti s drugima koji hvale sami sebe; ali kad sami po sebi sebe mere i porede sami sebe sa sobom, ne razumevaju. 13 A mi se nećemo hvaliti preko mere, nego po meri pravila kog nam Bog meru razdeli da dopremo i do vas. 14 Jer se mi daleko ne prostiremo, kao da ne dosežemo do vas; jer dopresmo i do vas s jevanđeljem Hristovim, 15 ne hvaleći se preko mere u tuđim poslovima, imajući pak nadu kad uzraste vera vaša da ćemo se u vama veličati po pravilu svom izobilno, 16 da u dalekim stranama od vas propovedimo jevanđelje, i da se ne pohvalimo onim što je po tuđem pravilu urađeno. 17 A koji se hvali, Gospodom neka se hvali. 18 Jer onaj nije valjan koji se sam hvali, nego kog Gospod hvali.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Having completed, in such sort as behoved his discourse of almsgiving, and having shown that he loves them more than he is loved, and having recounted the circumstances of his patience and trials, he now opportunely enters upon points involving more of reproof, making allusion to the false apostles, and concluding his discourse with more disagreeable matter, and with commendations …

… "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, neither let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in the Lord, in diligently seeking Him, and doing judgment and righteousness" ), being especially mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus which He spake, teaching …
Oh, if men would know themselves to be men; and that "he that glorieth" would "glory in the Lord!"

For this He declared by saying "Till He send forth judgment unto victory: and in His name shall the Gentiles trust." As Paul likewise saith, "Having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." But what is, "when He sends forth judgment unto victory?" When He hath fulfilled all His own part, then, we are told, …

So that saying of the apostle comes true of them, for, "comparing themselves with themselves, they do not understand." For because they do, in virtue of a new purpose, whatever new thing has occurred to them to be done (their minds being changeable), they conclude it is so with God; and thus compare, not God,--for they cannot conceive God, but …
