2 Corinthians 10:7-11

7Look at the plain facts! If anyone is confident he belongs to Christ, he should take note that we also belong to Christ.

8So, if I brag a little too much about the authority which the Lord gave us, I’m not ashamed. The Lord gave us this authority to help you, not to hurt you.

9I don’t want you to think that I’m trying to frighten you with my letters.

10I know that someone is saying that my letters are powerful and strong, but that I’m a weakling and a terrible speaker.

11The person who is saying those things should take note of this fact: When we are with you we will do the things that we wrote about in our letters when we weren’t with you.
