2 Corinthians 13:8-10

Godbey(i) 8 For we are not able to do any thing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we rejoice when we may be weak, and you may be strong: we are praying for even this, your perfection. 10 Therefore being absent I write these things, in order that being present, I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord has given me for edification, and not for destruction.
