2 Corinthians 10:8-11
-
8 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:
-
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
-
10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
-
11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
