2 Corinthians 10:9 in context

  1. 7Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we.
  2. 8For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:
  3. 9that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
  4. 10For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.
  5. 11Let such a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
