2 Corinthians 13:8-10

YLT(i) 8 for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth; 9 for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for—your perfection! 10 because of this, these things—being absent—I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.
