2 Corinthians 13:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ We cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. ⁹ We are happy to be weak, if you are strong, and we pray that you will become complete. ¹⁰ I am writing this while I am away from you so that when I come I will not have to be harsh in my use of authority. The Lord gave me this authority to build you up, not to tear you down.
