{I beseech} (deomai). So here, but parakal(935c) in verse
 1 . Perhaps, "I beg" suits the new turn here. {That I may not
when present show courage} (	o m(8820)par(936e) tharr(8873)ai). Articular
infinitive (aorist active of 	harre(935c)) in the accusative case
with negative m(885c) the direct object of deomai. Literally, "I
beg the not when present (par(936e) nominative present participle
agreeing with subject of 	harr(935c) in spite of being in the
accusative infinitive clause, 	o m(8820)tharr(8873)ai) showing
courage." The example of humility in Christ makes Paul drop "from
magisterial exhortation to earnest entreaty" (Plummer). {As if we
walked according to the flesh} (h(9373) kata sarka peripatountas).
Another sneering charge as made plain by the use of h(9373) with
the participle for the alleged reason.
