2 Corinthians10:9
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters .
This was one imputation upon the Apostle (as we may learn by the next Verse.) I tell you (saith the Apostle) that I have an Authority, and a further Authority than those who vilify me can pretend unto: but I also tell you, I have no Authority to do any harm to any of you; all the Authority I have is for your Edification, as much as lyeth in me to promote the business of your Salvation; So that I need not be reported as one that went about to terrify you by my Letters; yet I know there are some who so represent me unto you.
