|---|---|---|
Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
|
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
|
But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
