2 Corinthians 13:9

---

← 2 Corinthians 13:8	2 Corinthians 13:9 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 13:10 →
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.	For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, [even] your perfection.	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.
