2 Corinthians 13:8-10

Young's Literal Translation

⁸ for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

⁹ for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for -- your perfection!

¹⁰ because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.
