2 Corinthians 13:8-10

English Standard Version Anglicised

⁸ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. ⁹ For we are glad when ^(A)we are weak and you are strong. Your ^(B)restoration is what we pray for. ¹⁰ For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come ^(C)I may not have to be ^(D)severe in my use of ^(E)the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
