2 Corinthians 13:8-10

New King James Version

⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. ⁹ For we are glad ^(A)when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, ^(B)that you may be made complete. ^10 (C)Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the ^(D)authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.
