2 Corinthians 10:8 in Context — 2 Corinthians 10
6 Nous sommes prêts aussi à punir toute désobéissance, lorsque votre obéissance sera complète.
7 Vous regardez à l’apparence! Si quelqu’un se persuade qu’il est de Christ, qu’il se dise bien en lui-même que, comme il est de Christ, nous aussi nous sommes de Christ.
8 Et quand même je me glorifierais un peu trop de l’autorité que le Seigneur nous a donnée pour votre édification et non pour votre destruction, je ne saurais en avoir honte,
9 afin que je ne paraisse pas vouloir vous intimider par mes lettres.
10 Car, dit-on, ses lettres sont sévères et fortes; mais, présent en personne, il est faible, et sa parole est méprisable.
