2 Corinthians 10:9 in Context — 2 Corinthians 10

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.

11 Que celui qui parle de la sorte considère que tels nous sommes en paroles dans nos lettres, étant absents, tels aussi nous sommes dans nos actes, étant présents.
