For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

主赐给我们权柄，是要造就你们，并不是要败坏你们；我就是为这权柄稍微夸口，也不至于惭愧。

主赐给我们权柄，是要造就你们，并不是要拆毁你们；我就是为这权柄稍微夸口也不觉得惭愧。

主赐给我们权柄，是要造就你们，并不是要拆毁你们；我就是为这权柄稍微夸口也不觉得惭愧。

因为主赐给我们权柄是为了造就你们，不是为了毁坏你们，就算我为这权柄稍微夸口，也不会感到羞愧。

主把权柄赐给我们，是为了要造就你们，不是要破坏你们，就算我为这权柄夸口过分了一点，也不会觉得惭愧。

主所赐给我们的权柄是为了造就你们，不是为了拆毁你们。其实，就算我为这权柄有些过度的夸耀，我也不至于蒙羞。

主賜給我們權柄，是要造就你們，並不是要敗壞你們；我就是為這權柄稍微誇口，也不至於慚愧。

主賜給我們權柄，是要造就你們，並不是要拆毀你們；我就是為這權柄稍微誇口也不覺得慚愧。

主賜給我們權柄，是要造就你們，並不是要拆毀你們；我就是為這權柄稍微誇口也不覺得慚愧。

因為主賜給我們權柄是為了造就你們，不是為了毀壞你們，就算我為這權柄稍微誇口，也不會感到羞愧。

主把權柄賜給我們，是為了要造就你們，不是要破壞你們，就算我為這權柄誇口過分了一點，也不會覺得慚愧。

主賜權柄、是要建立你們，不是要攻倒你們。我就使為我們這權柄稍微逾分地誇口，也不覺得慚愧，

主所賜給我們的權柄是為了造就你們，不是為了拆毀你們。其實，就算我為這權柄有些過度的誇耀，我也不至於蒙羞。

主賜我權、乃建爾、非覆爾、我雖過誇、亦無所愧焉、

主賜我權、非以敗人、乃以輔德、我雖愈誇、吾亦無愧、

主賜我之權、以建爾、非以敗爾、我即因此多誇、亦無愧也、

吾雖稍誇吾儕之權力、亦不致有愧；惟此權力、係主所授以輔爾成立、非以致爾傾毀也。

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.

For if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave us for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of doing so.

For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

Paul, an apostle,( not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but[ now] I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me[ to be], or[ that] he heareth of me.

For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which[ I made] before Titus, is found a truth.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
