2 Corinthians 13:9-11

The Voice

⁹ You see, we celebrate when we are weak but you are strong. Our prayer is simple: that you may be whole and complete. ¹⁰ How I hope I am saving you by writing this to you in advance; this letter will spare me from using the Lord’s authority to come down on you when I arrive. His intention in giving me this authority is to build you up, not tear you down.

¹¹ Finally, brothers and sisters, keep rejoicing and repair whatever is broken. Encourage each other, think as one, and live at peace; and God, the Author of love and peace, will remain with you.
