2 Corinthians 10:8-11

Goodspeed(i) 8 For suppose I do boast a little too much of my authority—which the Lord gave me to build you up, not to pull you down—I will not have to blush for it. 9 I do not want to seem to scare you with my letters. 10 For they say, "His letters are impressive and telling, but his personal appearance is insignificant and as a speaker he amounts to nothing." 11 Such people had better understand that when I arrive and take action I will do just as I say I will in my letters when I am far away.
