2 Corinthians 10:7-11

7Look at what is obvious. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, let him remind himself of this: Just as he belongs to Christ, so do we.

8For if I boast a little too much about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be put to shame.

9I don’t want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters.

10For it is said, “His letters are weighty and powerful, but his physical presence is weak and his public speaking amounts to nothing.”

11Let such a person consider this: What we are in our letters, when we are absent, we will also be in our actions when we are present.
