Reality of Paul’s Authority

7 aDo you look at things according to the outward appearance? bIf anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ’s, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ’s, even1 so cwe are Christ’s.  
8 For even if I should boast somewhat more aabout our authority, which the Lord gave1 us for edification and not for your destruction, bI shall not be ashamed—  
9 lest I seem to terrify you by letters.
10 “For his letters,” they say, “are weighty and powerful, but ahis bodily presence is weak, and his bspeech contemptible.”
