2 Corinthians 10:7-11

7 1 2You are looking at 3things as they are outwardly. 4If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ’s, 5so also are we. 8For even if 6I boast somewhat 7further about our 8authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame, 9 9for I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters. 10For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but his 10personal presence is 11unimpressive and 12his speech contemptible.” 11Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.
