2 Corinthians 10:7-11

7 aLook at what is before your eyes. bIf anyone is confident that he is Christ’s, let him remind himself that just as che is Christ’s, dso also are we. 8For even if I boast a little too much of eour authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed. 9I do not want to appear to be frightening you with my letters. 10For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but fhis bodily presence is weak, and ghis speech of no account.” 11Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present.
