For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.
Strong's King James
For{G1063} though{G1437} I would desire{G2309}{(G5661)} to glory{G2744}{(G5664)}, I shall{G2071} not{G3756} be{G2071}{(G5704)} a fool{G878}; for{G1063} I will say{G2046}{(G5692)} the truth{G225}: but{G1161} now I forbear{G5339}{(G5736)}, lest{G3361} any man{G5100} should think{G3049}{(G5667)} of{G1519} me{G1691} above{G5228} that which{G3739} he seeth{G991}{(G5719)} me{G3165} to be, or{G2228} that he heareth{G191}{(G5719)} of{G5100}{G1537} me{G1700}.
