2 Corinthians 13:8-10

Twentieth_Century(i) 8 We have no power at all against the Truth, but we have power in the service of the Truth. 9 We are glad when we are weak, if you are strong. And what we pray for is that you may become perfect. 10 This is my reason for writing as I am now doing, while I am away from you, so that, when I am with you, I may not act harshly in the exercise of the authority which the Lord gave me--and gave me for building up and not for pulling down.
