Let such a one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
Read Chapter 10
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Someone to whom power has not been given is capable of being bold when absent but when present he is put to shame. The apostle will not be put to shame when issuing his rebuke. He is doing this in bold reliance on his spiritual power. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
