NASB
"For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible.""
— 2 Corinthians 10:10, NASB
“For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.”
“For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account. ”
“For, "His letters," they say, "are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised."”
“because some say,“His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is weak and his speech is of no account.””
“(For his epistles indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak and his speech contemptible):”
“For his letters, they say, have weight and are strong; but in body he is feeble, and his way of talking has little force.”
“For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.”
You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.
For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame,
for I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible."
Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.
For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.
But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.
