Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you?

Do we seem to be again attempting to put ourselves in the right? or have we need, as some have, of letters of approval to you or from you?

Αρχιζομεν παλιν να συνιστωμεν εαυτους; η μηπως εχομεν χρειαν, καθως τινες, συστατικων επιστολων προς εσας η συστατικων απο σας;

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
