2 Corinthians 10:6-8

New International Version

⁶ And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.^(A)

⁷ You are judging by appearances.^[a](B) If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ,^(C) they should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as they do.^{(D) 8} So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us^(E) for building you up rather than tearing you down,^(F) I will not be ashamed of it.
