2 Corinthians 10:11

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.

In context

9 I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters.

10 For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.”

11 Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.

12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.

13 We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
