2 Corinthians 10:8 in Context — 2 Corinthians 10
6 Y estando prestos para castigar toda desobediencia, cuando vuestra obediencia fuere cumplida.
7 Miráis las cosas según la apariencia. Si alguno está confiado en sí mismo que es de Cristo, esto también piense por sí mismo, que como él es de Cristo, así también nosotros somos de Cristo.
8 Porque aunque me gloríe aún un poco de nuestra potestad (la cual el Señor nos dió para edificación y no para vuestra destrucción), no me avergonzaré;
9 Porque no parezca como que os quiero espantar por cartas.
10 Porque á la verdad, dicen, las cartas son graves y fuertes; mas la presencia corporal flaca, y la palabra menospreciable.
