2 Corinthians 10
Overview
10:1 Against the false apostles, who disgraced the weakness of his person and bodily presence, he shows the spiritual might and authority with which he was armed against all adverse powers;
10:7 assuring them that at his coming he will be found as mighty in word as he is now in writing, being absent;
10:12 and withal taxing them for reaching out themselves beyond their compass, and vaunting themselves of other men's labours.
