2 Corinthians 10:9-12

English Standard Version

⁹ I do not want to appear to be frightening you with my letters. ¹⁰ For they say, “His letters are weighty and strong, but ^(A)his bodily presence is weak, and ^(B)his speech of no account.” ¹¹ Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present. ¹² Not that we dare to classify or ^(C)compare ourselves with some of those who ^(D)are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are ^(E)without understanding.
