So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it.

Do I brag too much about the authority the Lord gave me? If I do, it’s because I want to build you up, not tear you down. And I’m not ashamed of that kind of bragging.

For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed.

I may seem to be boasting too much about the authority given to us by the Lord. But our authority builds you up; it doesn’t tear you down. So I will not be ashamed of using my authority.

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.

For if I boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame,

For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed—

For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority( which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:

For if I boast some more about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I am not ashamed.

吾在與爾相暌之時、書此種切、庶幾與爾相晤時、無庸秉持主所授我之大權、以懲惡徒、而盡吾之職責、則幸甚矣！蓋此大權所以輔人成德、非所以致人傾毀也。

宗徒葆樂、非由人所遣、亦非因人而立、乃奉命於耶穌基督、及賜其復活之天主聖父者、

予之造次顛沛、備嘗艱辛、亦為此福音而已。然予不以為恥也。無他、予知所仰望者之為誰氏之子、且深信彼之所寄於予者、彼必能保其完整、以待彼日之臨也。

吾儕非欲統制爾曹之信德、實欲圓成爾曹之神樂、蓋爾曹之立實憑信德。

曩者與爾晤時、予曾告諸犯罪者及其他同人、予若重來、決不有所優容。今方暌隔、亦欲一申舊命、莫謂言之不預也。作此言者、實為寓吾心中之基督。基督對爾、非屬柔弱無能；於爾之身、實操有大權；爾豈欲嘗試之乎？

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。

蓋曩者吾曾誇爾等之美於提多之前矣；爾等實未使我抱愧也。然則吾儕所誇耀於提多之前者、皆真實不虛、正如吾儕向爾等所直言不諱者、亦皆真實不虛也。

蓋吾人對抗真理、誠屬無力；惟擁護真理、則具有大能。
