Berean Study Bible
This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.

Young's Literal Translation
because of this, these things—being absent—I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
This is why I am writing these things while absent, that when I am there I will not use severity, in keeping with the authority the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

New American Standard Bible
For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I [need] not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

King James Bible
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. 2 Corinthians 13:10 • 2 Corinthians 13:10 NIV • 2 Corinthians 13:10 NLT • 2 Corinthians 13:10 ESV • 2 Corinthians 13:10 NASB • 2 Corinthians 13:10 KJV • 2 Corinthians 13:10 Biblia Paralela • 2 Corinthians 13:10 Chinese Bible • 2 Corinthians 13:10 French Bible • 2 Corinthians 13:10 German Bible
