Philemon 1:8
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

οὔτε ζητοῦντες ἐξ ἀνθρώπων δόξαν οὔτε ἀφ' ὑμῶν οὔτε ἀπ' ἄλλων δυνάμενοι ἐν βάρει εἶναι ὥς Χριστοῦ ἀπόστολοι
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
ἐάν τε γὰρ καὶ περισσότερόν τι καυχήσωμαι περὶ τῆς ἐξουσίας ἡμῶν ἡς ἔδωκεν ὁ κύριος ἡμῖν εἰς οἰκοδομὴν καὶ οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν ὑμῶν οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσομαι
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
Ἔχοντες οὖν τοιαύτην ἐλπίδα πολλῇ παῤῥησίᾳ χρώμεθα
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
κατὰ ἀτιμίαν λέγω ὡς ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠσθενήσαμεν ἐν ᾧ δ' ἄν τις τολμᾷ ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ λέγω τολμῶ κἀγώ
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
Αὐτὸς δὲ ἐγὼ Παῦλος παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς διὰ τῆς πρᾳότητος καὶ ἐπιεικείας τοῦ Χριστοῦ ὃς κατὰ πρόσωπον μὲν ταπεινὸς ἐν ὑμῖν ἀπὼν δὲ θαῤῥῶ εἰς ὑμᾶς·
Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
καὶ αἰσχρότης καὶ μωρολογία ἢ εὐτραπελία τὰ οὐκ ἀνήκοντα· ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον εὐχαριστία
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
ἀλλὰ καὶ προπαθόντες καὶ ὑβρισθέντες καθὼς οἴδατε ἐν Φιλίπποις ἐπαῤῥησιασάμεθα ἐν τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν λαλῆσαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν πολλῷ ἀγῶνι
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
