2 Corinthians 10:7-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Look[a] at what is before your eyes. If you are confident that you belong to Christ, remind yourself of this, that just as you belong to Christ, so also do we.(A) 8 Now, even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it.(B) 9 I do not want to seem as though I am trying to frighten you with my letters. 10 For someone says,[b] “His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak and his speech contemptible.”(C) 11 Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent we will also do when present.

English Standard Version
7 (A)Look at what is before your eyes. (B)If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as (C)he is Christ's, (D)so also are we. 8 For even if I boast a little too much of (E)our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed. 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 (F)his bodily presence is weak, and (G)his speech of no account.” 11 Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present.
