2 Corinthians 13:9
For we rejoice when we are weak - When we appear so, having no occasion to show our apostolic power. And this we wish, even your perfection - In the faith that worketh by love.
Paul Prefers Gentleness
7 Now1 I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though awe may seem disqualified.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 For we are glad awhen we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, bthat you may be made complete.
10 aTherefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the bauthority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.
Greetings and Benediction
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. aBe of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love band peace will be with you.
