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. International Standard Version
For this reason I am writing this while I am away from you: When I come I do not want to be severe in using the authority the Lord gave me to build you up and not to tear you down.

American Standard Version
For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting 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.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 Commentaries • 2 Corinthians 13:10 Bible Apps • 2 Corinthians 13:10 Biblia Paralela • 2 Corinthians 13:10 Chinese Bible • 2 Corinthians 13:10 French Bible • 2 Corinthians 13:10 German Bible
