For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: 9That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. 10For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. 11Let such an 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.
2 Corinthians 10:8-11
Paul is being mocked and disparaged by some. The reason is not given, but Paul says that with the same weight and power of his letters, he will be in person. He seems to be giving fair warning that someone needs to take heed and straighten up before he gets there.
