καίπερ ἐγὼ ἔχων πεποίθησιν καὶ ἐν σαρκί. Εἴ τις δοκεῖ ἄλλος πεποιθέναι ἐν σαρκί, ἐγὼ μᾶλλον·

kaiper ego ekhon pepoithesin kai en sarki. Ei tis dokei allos pepoithenai en sarki, ego mallon*

quamquam ego habeam confidentiam et in carne si quis alius videtur confidere in carne ego magis

though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:

Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I more:

although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:

though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

For myself, I could have trusted those human ideas. Perhaps somebody may think that they could trust in those things to save them. Then I would have an even better reason to trust in them.

though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;

I could have reason to trust in the flesh. If anyone could feel that the flesh could do something for him, I could.

though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he might have confidence in the flesh, more so I:

If any try to throw around their pedigrees to you, remember my résumé—which is more impressive than theirs.

Yet if anyone ever had reason to hope that he could save himself, it would be I. If others could be saved by what they are, certainly I could!

Steer clear of the barking dogs, those religious busybodies, all bark and no bite. All they’re interested in is appearances—knife-happy circumcisers, I call them. The real believers are the ones the Spirit of God leads to work away at this ministry, filling the air with Christ’s praise as we do it. We couldn’t carry this off by our own efforts, and we know it—even though we can list what many might think are impressive credentials. You know my pedigree: a legitimate birth, circumcised on the eighth day; an Israelite from the elite tribe of Benjamin; a strict and devout adherent to God’s law; a fiery defender of the purity of my religion, even to the point of persecuting the church; a meticulous observer of everything set down in God’s law Book.

I could, of course, put my trust in such things. If any of you think you can trust in external ceremonies, I have even more reason to feel that way.

though I have trust, yea, in the flesh. If any other man is seen to trust in the flesh, I more,

Mind you, I’ve got good reason to trust in the flesh. If anyone else thinks they have reason to trust in the flesh, I’ve got more.

although I could. Others may brag about themselves, but I have more reason to brag than anyone else.

Though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If any other man thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

If it were right to have such confidence, I could certainly have it, and if any of these men thinks he has grounds for such confidence I can assure him I have more. I was born a true Jew, I was circumcised on the eighth day, I was a member of the tribe of Benjamin, I was in fact a full-blooded Jew. As far as keeping the Law is concerned I was a Pharisee, and you can judge my enthusiasm for the Jewish faith by my active persecution of the Church. As far as the Law’s righteousness is concerned, I don’t think anyone could have found fault with me.

even though I, too, have reason for confidence in the flesh. If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more:

although I might be able to put ·trust [reliance; confidence] in ·myself [human ability/effort; T the flesh]. If anyone thinks he has a reason to ·trust [rely; have confidence] in ·himself [human ability/effort; T the flesh], he should know that I have greater reason.

though I myself might have confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he might depend on the flesh, I far more—

Though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If any other man thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

I have many reasons to trust in who I am and what I have done. Someone else may think they have reasons to trust in these things. But I have even more.

Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

even though I certainly have grounds for putting confidence in such things. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for putting confidence in human qualifications, I have better grounds:

even though I, too, have reason for confidence in the flesh. If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more:

Even though I could be having bitachon also in the basar. If any other person thinks he has grounds to have bitachon in the basar, I have more (2C 11:18-12:10):

though myself having confidence even in the flesh! If any other person thinks that he may put-confidence in the flesh, I more—
