2 Corinthians 10:2
Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

2 Corinthians 10:1
Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.
2 Corinthians 10:6
and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
2 Corinthians 10:7
Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
2 Corinthians 10:8
For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
2 Corinthians 10:9
that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
2 Corinthians 10:10
For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
2 Corinthians 10:11
Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
2 Corinthians 10:12
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
-----
2 Corinthians 10:3
For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;
2 Corinthians 10:4
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
2 Corinthians 10:5
throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
2 Corinthians 10:18
For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
-----
1 Corinthians 4:19
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
1 Corinthians 4:20
For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.
1 Corinthians 4:21
What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
2 Corinthians 13:10
For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
2 Corinthians 12:19
Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
2 Corinthians 12:20
For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
2 Corinthians 12:21
that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
2 Corinthians 13:2
I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,
-----
1 Corinthians 5:3
For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.
1 Corinthians 5:4
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together with my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Corinthians 5:5
you are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1 Timothy 1:20
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
-----
2 Corinthians 1:12
For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
2 Corinthians 1:17
When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
2 Corinthians 4:2
But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 12:16
Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
-----
2 Corinthians 11:21
To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
2 Corinthians 5:20
We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
1 Thessalonians 2:6
nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:12
Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
1 Thessalonians 2:2
but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
Philemon 1:8
Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
-----
2 Corinthians 1:23
But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.
2 Corinthians 2:1
But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
2 Corinthians 2:2
For if I make you grieve, then who will make me glad but he who is made to grieve by me?
2 Corinthians 2:3
And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be shared by all of you.
2 Corinthians 8:22
We have sent with them our brother whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
-----
2 Corinthians 5:7
for we walk by faith, not by sight.
