2 Corinthians 10:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority (which the Lord has given us for building up and not for pulling you down) I shall not be ashamed -

⁹ lest I might seem as if to frighten you away with letters.

¹⁰ For indeed they say, “his letters are heavy and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is of no value.”
