2 Corinthians 13:9-11

New American Standard Bible

⁹ For we rejoice when we ourselves are ^(A)weak, but you are strong; this we also pray for, ^[a]that you ^(B)become mature. ¹⁰ For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present ^(C)I need not use ^(D)severity, in accordance with the ^(E)authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

^11 (F)Finally, brothers and sisters, ^[b]rejoice, ^(G)mend your ways, be comforted, ^(H)be like-minded, ^(I)live in peace; and ^(J)the God of love and peace will be with you.
