2 Corinthians 10:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ You must look at the facts before you. If anyone feels sure that he belongs to Christ, then he must remember that we belong to Christ just as he does. ⁸ It is true that we brag freely about the authority the Lord gave us. But he gave us this authority to strengthen you, not to hurt you. So I will not be ashamed of the bragging we do. ⁹ I don’t want you to think that I am trying to scare you with my letters.
