2 Corinthians 10:8-10

8 For even if I boast a little too much of ^aour authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed. 9 I do not want to appear to be frightening you with my letters. 10 For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but ^bhis bodily presence is weak, and ^chis speech of no account.”
