KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Look, if I wanted to brag about myself, I wouldn't even be lying — I'd be telling the truth. But I'm not going to do that because I don't want people putting me on some pedestal higher than what they actually see and hear from me in real life.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Paul could flex if he wanted to, but he keeps it real so people don't put him on a pedestal.
