2 Corinthians 13:9-10 For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: this we also pray for, even your perfecting.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: this we also pray for, even your perfecting. ¹⁰ For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down.
