2 Corinthians 10:1-3

Worldwide English (New Testament)

10 Now I, Paul, beg you to do something since you know that Christ was kind and gentle. You say I am weak when I am face to face with you, but when I am not with you, then I speak to you with hard words.

² I beg you, do not force me to talk hard words when I come. I have made up my mind to talk hard words against some people. They think we are living for the things in this world.

³ Of course we are living in bodies made for this world. But we are not fighting for the things in this world.
