2 Corinthians 10:6-8

New Living Translation

⁶ And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient.

⁷ Look at the obvious facts.^[a] Those who say they belong to Christ must recognize that we belong to Christ as much as they do. ⁸ I may seem to be boasting too much about the authority given to us by the Lord. But our authority builds you up; it doesn’t tear you down. So I will not be ashamed of using my authority.
