# General Information:
In this verse Paul uses the words "we," "our," and "ourselves" to refer to himself and Timothy and possibly others who served with them. These words do not include the people he was writing to. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive]])
# Our boast is this
Paul uses the word "boast" ironically here. Boasting is usually a bad thing, but Paul is confident that he has lived "with integrity and godly sincerity," and he is telling the Corinthians so. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-irony]])
"with integrity and godly sincerity,"
# Our conscience testifies
Paul speaks of not being guilty as if his conscience were a person that could speak. Alternate translation: "We know by our conscience" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])
"We know by our conscience"
# not relying on fleshly wisdom but on the grace of God
Here "fleshly" represents human. Alternate translation: "not relying on human wisdom but on the grace of God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
"not relying on human wisdom but on the grace of God"
