2 Corinthians 10:8-10

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁸ The Lord gave us power to build you up, not to break you down. Maybe I talk about it too much. But I feel I am right in talking about it.

⁹ I do not want you to think that I am trying to make you afraid by my letters.

¹⁰ Some people say, `Paul's letters make us listen. They are strong. But he himself is weak and what he says is not worth listening to.'
