1 А сам ја, Павле, молим вас кротости ради и тишине Христове, који сам пред вама понижен према вама, а кад нисам код вас, слободан сам према вама. 2 Молим пак да ми не буде потребно кад будем код вас, онако слободан бити као што мислим да смем против неких који мисле за нас да по телу живимо; 3 јер ако и живимо по телу, не боримо се по телу. 4 Јер оружје нашег војевања није телесно, него силно од Бога на раскопавање градова, да кваримо помисли 5 и сваку висину која се подиже на познање Божије, и робимо сваки разум за покорност Христу, 6 и у приправности имамо освету за сваку непокорност, кад се изврши ваша покорност. 7 Гледате ли на оно што вам је пред очима? Ако се ко узда да је Христов нека мисли опет у себи да како је он Христов тако смо и ми Христови. 8 Јер ако се шта и више похвалим влашћу нашом коју нам даде Господ на поправљање, а не на кварење ваше, нећу се постидети. 9 Али да се не покажем као да вас плашим посланицама; 10 јер су посланице, вели, тешке и јаке, а кад је телом пред нама, слаб је, и реч његова не ваља ништа. 11 Ово нека помисли такав да какви смо у речи по посланицама кад нисмо код вас, такви смо и у делу кад смо ту. 12 Јер не смемо себе мешати или се поредити с другима који хвале сами себе; али кад сами по себи себе мере и пореде сами себе са собом, не разумевају. 13 А ми се нећемо хвалити преко мере, него по мери правила ког нам Бог меру раздели да допремо и до вас. 14 Јер се ми далеко не простиремо, као да не досежемо до вас; јер допресмо и до вас с јеванђељем Христовим, 15 не хвалећи се преко мере у туђим пословима, имајући пак наду кад узрасте вера ваша да ћемо се у вама величати по правилу свом изобилно, 16 да у далеким странама од вас проповедимо јеванђеље, и да се не похвалимо оним што је по туђем правилу урађено. 17 А који се хвали, Господом нека се хвали. 18 Јер онај није ваљан који се сам хвали, него ког Господ хвали.

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 …
