For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me to be, or heareth from me.

Yet if I choose to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will be speaking no more than the truth. But I refrain, in case anyone should credit me with more than he can see in me or hear from me, and because of the marvelous character of the revelations.

Denn wenn ich mich rühmen will, werde ich nicht töricht sein, denn ich werde die Wahrheit sagen. Ich enthalte mich aber dessen, auf daß nicht jemand höher von mir denke, als was er an mir sieht, oder was er von mir hört.

Por lo cual si quisiere gloriarme, no seré insensato: porque diré verdad: empero lo dejo, porque nadie piense de mí más de lo que en mí ve, ú oye de mí.

Porque se eu quiser me orgulhar, não serei tolo; porque direi a verdade; porém eu me contenho, para que ninguém me considere mais do que aquilo que vê em mim, ou ouve de mim.

Se quisesse gloriar-me, não seria louco, pois estaria falando a verdade; mas não me gloriarei, para que ninguém pense de mim mais do que é visto em mim ou do que ouve de mim.
