2 Corinthians 12:6

though if I should wish to boast , I would not be a fool , for I would be speaking the truth ; but I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me .

Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say,

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.
