2 Corinthians 13:8-10

Context
13:8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the sake of the truth. 13:9 For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. And we pray for this: that you may become fully qualified. 1  13:10 Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive 2  I may not have to deal harshly with you 3  by using my authority – the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!

1 tn Or “fully equipped.”

2 tn Grk “when I am present,” but in the context of Paul’s third (upcoming) visit to Corinth, this is better translated as “when I arrive.”

3 tn The words “with you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
