2 Corinthians 10:8-10

21st Century King James Version

⁸ For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority (which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction), I should not be ashamed,

⁹ that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

¹⁰ “For his letters,” say they, “are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.”
