| 7 | Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s. | You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does. | Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we. |
In context
AI-assisted, sourced2 Corinthians 10:7-11Present and absent
About 2 Corinthians 10Paul, who some say is "base" in presence but "bold" when absent, beseeches them "by the meekness and gentleness of Christ." Though "we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh," for "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God," bringing "every thought to the obedience of Christ." Answering the charge that "his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible," he refuses to compare himself with those who commend themselves, for "he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." 2 Corinthians 10:12 Corinthians 10:32 Corinthians 10:42 Corinthians 10:52 Corinthians 10:102 Corinthians 10:122 Corinthians 10:17
