2 Corinthians 5:12


Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.


World English Bible (WEB)

For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.


Strong's King James

For{G1063} we commend{G4921}{(G5719)} not{G3756} ourselves{G1438} again{G3825} unto you{G5213}, but{G235} give{G1325}{(G5723)} you{G5213} occasion{G874} to glory{G2745} on{G5228} our{G2257} behalf{G5228}, that{G2443} ye may have{G2192}{(G5725)} somewhat to{G4314} answer them which glory{G2744}{(G5740)} in{G1722} appearance{G4383}, and{G2532} not{G3756} in heart{G2588}.


The F.O.G *

(12) We aren't again commending ourselves to you, but rather giving you an opportunity, a reason to boast on our behalf, to those boasting in appearance and not in heart.


The F.O.G Message *


Young's Literal Translation

for not again ourselves do we recommend to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that ye may have something in reference to those glorifying in face and not in heart;
