2 Corinthians 10:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Paul speaks about his work as Christ's servant

10 I, Paul, need to ask you something. Perhaps you think that I am only humble when I am present there with you. You think that I only speak strongly to you when I am far away! Now I am away from you. But I am still humble and kind, like Christ is. ² So please listen to what I am asking you. Some people among you think that we live like people who belong to this world. When I come to visit you, I am sure that I will be brave enough to speak against those people. But I do not want to have to speak strongly like that against all of you.

³ It is true that we live in this world as humans. But we do not use our human ideas to fight against what is wrong.
