2 Corinthians 10:10-12

Lexham English Bible

¹⁰ because it is said, “His letters are severe and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak and his speech is of no account.” ¹¹ Let such a person consider this: that what we are in word by letters when we^[a] are absent, we will also be in actions^[b] when we^[c] are present.

¹² For we do not dare to classify or to compare ourselves with some who commend themselves, but they themselves, when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, do not understand.
