Amen and just in case you did not see my corrections previously, here they are again.

For ease of conversation flow.. there's now a rule on the board to keep the original submited post as is without editing, though there's also a "Make this post a draft" option til you decide to officially submit it. (A new post can always be made too.)

Laudable hints at being praiseworthy; and means being wholesome, healthy, commendable, and hence approved (with a strong faith ready to stand before God by the thanks-giving in honoring the blood of HIS Christ)
To be Laudable before God signifies being favorable (that in turn implies being full of grace.)

Notice the correcton #5543 Χρειστου and not χυ with the Nomina Sacra line over it.
10:7 Do you see things according to appearance? If any man appear to be well off (#5543 Χρειστου) to rely upon himself, let him consider this again, that even as he is of Christ even so are we also. 10:8 For if I should boast somewhat extra concerning our authority, which the Lord hath given us to build up and not to ruin you, I shall not be ashamed. 10:9 So that what I say should not seem to frighten you with letters.

2 Corinthians 10:7-9

7Look ye on things after the utter appearance. If any man trust in himself that he is Christ's, let the same also consider of himself, that as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. 8And though I should boast myself somewhat more of our authority which the Lord hath given us to edify and not to destroy you, it should not be to my shame. 9This say I, lest I should seem as though I went about to make you afraid with letters.

Though the original New Testament had no verse numbering scheme, it was well written like a love letter in paragraph form that brings out it's laudable significance, that is: it's healthy meaning as a whole. Yea like the second letter to the Corinthians chapter 10:

Code:

? I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and softness of Christ, which when I am present among you, am of no reputation, but am bold toward you being absent. I beseech you that I need not to be bold when I am present (with that same confidence, wherewith I am supposed to be bold) against some which repute us as though we walked carnally. Nevertheless though we walk compassed with the flesh, yet we war not fleshly. For the weapons of our war are not carnal things, but things mighty in God to cast down strongholds, wherewith we overthrow imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity all understanding to the obedience of Christ, and are ready to take vengeance on all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Look ye on things after the utter appearance.
? If any man trust in himself that he is Christis, let the same also consider of himself, that as he is Christis, even so are we Christe's. And though I should boast myself somewhat more of our authority which the Lord hath given us to edify and not to destroy you, it should not be to my shame. This say I, lest I should seem as though I went about to make you afraid with letters. For the pistels (saith he) are sore and strong: but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech homely. Let him that is such think on this wise, that as we are in words by letters when we are absent, such are we in deeds when we are present.
? For we cannot find in our hearts to make ourselves of the number of them, or to compare ourselves to them, which laud themselves: but while they measure themselves with themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they understand nought. But we will not rejoice above measure: but according to the quantity of the measure which God hath distributed unto us, a measure that reacheth even unto you. For we stretch not out ourselves beyond measure as though we had not reached unto you. For even unto you have we come with the gospel of Christ, and we boast not ourselves out of measure in other men's labors: yea and we hope, When your faith is increased among you, to be magnified according to our measure more largely: And to preach the gospel in those regions which are beyond you: and not to rejoice of that which is by another man's measure prepared all ready. Let him that rejoiceth, rejoice in the Lord. For he that praiseth himself, is not allowed: but he whom the Lord praiseth.

Brings to attention:

James 4:5-6

5Do ye suppose that the scripture saith in vain: The spirit that dwelleth in you, lusteth even contrary to envy: 6but giveth more grace. ([wherefore he sayeth: God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the lowly.])

I perceive we all need to reflect on this N.T. exhortation.
