Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.

既有好些人凭着血气自夸，我也要自夸了。

既然有好些人凭着血气在夸口，我也要夸口了。

既然有好些人凭着血气在夸口，我也要夸口了。

既然许多人凭血气夸口，我当然也可以夸口。

既然有许多人按着世俗的标准夸口，我也要夸口。

既然有许多人按人的标准自夸，我也要自夸了，

既有好些人憑着血氣自誇，我也要自誇了。

既然有好些人憑着血氣在誇口，我也要誇口了。

既然有好些人憑着血氣在誇口，我也要誇口了。

既然許多人憑血氣誇口，我當然也可以誇口。

既然有許多人按著世俗的標準誇口，我也要誇口。

既有許多人以屬肉體之事而誇口，我也要誇口。

既然有許多人按人的標準自誇，我也要自誇了，

既多有依形軀而誇者、則我亦誇矣、

如眾以外貌自詡、則吾亦可自詡、

有多人以外貌自誇、則我亦自誇、

方今以身世自誇者多矣、吾亦欲一誇焉。

Since many are boasting in the way the world does, I too will boast.

Many are bragging the way the people of the world do. So I will brag like that too.

Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.

And since others boast about their human achievements, I will, too.

Since many boast according to the flesh, I will also boast.

Since many boast according to the flesh, I will boast also.

Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

Since many boast in an unspiritual way, I will also boast.

Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

Since many are boasting according to human standards, I too will boast.

Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.

Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.

For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us— a sphere which especially includes you.For we are not overextending ourselves( as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men’s labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere,to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s sphere of accomplishment.But“ he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.

because“ All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away,

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so:

I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.

To our shame I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold— I speak foolishly— I am bold also.Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.Are they ministers of Christ?— I speak as a fool— I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

And He said to me,“ My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Thus says the Lord:“ Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!
