2 Corinthians 12:6

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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.
World English Bible (WEB)
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}.
Strong's King James
(6) For if I do want to boast, I won't be foolish because I will be speaking firm-truth but I spare you, so that nobody will credit to me more than whatever they see or hear of me. Anything of me
The F.O.G*
[6] Even if I wanted to boast more, I wouldn't be a fool because I'd be speaking the truth. But I hold back so no one will think more highly of me than what they see in my actions or hear in my words.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me;
