TSK · 2 Corinthians 11:21

¶ Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence [am] base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
