But I have used none of these things: and I write not these things that it may be so done in my case; for it were good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

Πλην εγω ουδεν τουτων μετεχειρισθην. Ουδε εγραψα ταυτα δια να γεινη ουτως εις εμε· διοτι καλον ειναι εις εμε να αποθανω μαλλον παρα να ματαιωση τις το καυχημα μου.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
