Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord has given me to edification, and not to destruction.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 13:10 Go To 2 Corinthians 13
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
We write this for the edification of Christ's mystical body, and to cause all men to enter; not for its destruction, and to compel many to abandon it.
