The King James Version Bible

2 Corinthians 10:8-10

  1. For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

  2. That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

  3. For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
