TSK · 2 Corinthians 11:21

Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

That which I speak, I don't speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.
