Parallel
2 Corinthians 10:8
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.
