2 Corinthians 13:10 KJV/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 10 Therefore I write these things being absent , lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. | 10 This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority--the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down. |
