2 Corinthians 13:10

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present qI should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

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.
