2 Corinthians 10:9-12

9I do not want to appear to be frightening you with my letters. 10For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but ahis bodily presence is weak, and bhis speech of no account.” 11Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present. 12Not that we dare to classify or ccompare ourselves with some of those who dare commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are ewithout understanding.
