2 Corinthians 13:8-10

MKJV(i) 8 For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we are glad when we are weak, and you are powerful. But we pray also for this, your perfection. 10 Therefore I write these things while absent, lest being present I may not deal sharply with you according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for pulling down.
