2 Corinthians 10:10-13

10because some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is weak and his speech is of no account.”

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

12For we would not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who recommend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

13But we will not boast beyond certain limits, but will confine our boasting according to the limits of the work to which God has appointed us, that reaches even as far as you.
