2 Corinthians 13:8-10

Haweis(i) 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we rejoice when we are weak, but ye are strong: and this also we pray for, even your perfect establishment. 10 For this cause, though absent, I have written these things, that when I am present I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord hath given me for edification, and not for destruction.
