2 Corinthians 10:1-2 Now I, Paul, myself, encourage you through the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who when face to face am indeed humble among you, but being absent am courageous toward you.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now I, Paul, myself, encourage you through the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who when face to face am indeed humble among you, but being absent am courageous toward you. ² But I am beseeching you (not when I am present) to be courageous with the confidence in which I am reasoning to dare against some who reason us as walking according to the flesh.
