OrthJBC - II Corinthians - 10

10:1  Now I myself, Sha'ul, appeal to you gently in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and in his anavah (humility)--I who am peh el peh "lowly" among you [I Cor 2:3] but have "chutzpah" with you when absent [I Cor 2:4; 7:8]

10:2  --now I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show enough chutzpah to oppose certain persons, [I Cor. 4:21] the ones considering us to act according to the standards of the basar of Olam Hazeh.

10:3  For though walking in basar, we war not according to the basar,

10:4  for the weapons of our warfare are not of the basar [Eph. 6:13-17], but full of ko'ach through Hashem to the overthrow of strongholds, overthrowing reasonings [Yirmeyah 1:10; 23:29] BRING EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE FOR TIKKUN (RECTIFICATION) IN MOSHIACH

10:5  and every high-minded thing rising up against the da'as of Hashem, and leading captive every machashavah (thought) into the mishma'at of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, [Yeshayah 2:11,12]

10:6  and prepared to discipline all disobedience whenever your mishma'at (obedience) is completed. [II Cor.2:9] OYVIM OF THE BESURAS HAGEULAH ATTACK ONE OF HASHEM'S KLEI KODESH (KELI KODESH (MINISTER)S)

10:7  You look at things according to outward appearance. If anyone has persuaded himself that he belongs to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, have zikaron of this: as he is of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, so also are we.

10:8  Now even if I should glory a little too much [II Cor 12:6] in our samchut (authority) [as Shluchim of Moshiach] [II Cor 13:10] which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not suffer bushah. [Yirmeyah 1:10]

10:9  I did not intend to seem as if my iggrot were meant to frighten you.

10:10  For they say, "His iggrot indeed are weighty and strong but his physical presence is weak and his shprach, as far as rhetoric is concerned, is despicable."

10:11  Let such a one consider this: that the dvar we speak through iggrot when absent will become ma'aseh we will very well do when present! [II Cor 13:2,10]

10:12  For we dare not to make a geder (classification) for ourselves or to compare ourselves with some of the ones commending themselves [II Cor. 3:1;5:12], but when they measure themselves by the standard of one another or compare themselves by with one another, they do not show seichel.

10:13  But we will not boast out of our depth, but will be shomer to keep within the sadeh (field) Hashem has apportioned to us [Rom 12:3] which reached out even as far as you. [Gal.2:7-8]

10:14  For we were not getting out of our depth when we reached even as far as you. We were the chalutzim who came with th Besuras HaGeulah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, EVIL PO'ALIM (WORKERS), FALSE SHLUCHIM, MEN WHO DO NOT ESTABLISH NEW KEHILLOT, BUT TRY TO STEAL ANOTHER MAN'S WORK, EVEN WHILE THEY ARE BOASTING INAPPROPRIATELY ABOUT ANOTHER MAN'S LABOR AND WICKEDLY INJECTING A RUACH OF GA'AVAH INTO THE BEIS HASHEM

10:15  We do not boast out of our depth, that is, in the labor of others; but the tikvateinu is that, as your emunah grows, our sphere of Shlichut among you will also be enlarged,

10:16  so that we may abundantly proclaim the Besuras HaGeulah [Acts 19:21] to the regions beyond you, without boasting in someone else's Messianic chalutz accomplishments.

10:17  But HAMMIT HALLELYIT HALLEL; ("The one boasting let him boast" in the L-rd.) [Yirmeyah 9:23,24; Tehillim 34:2; 44:8; I Cor.1:13];

10:18  For it is not the one commending himself that is approved, but it is the one whom [Moshiach] Adoneinu commends. [I Cor. 4:4-5]
