13:10 For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.
13:10 Basi, ninaandika barua hii nikiwa mbali, ili nitakapofika kwenu nisilazimike kuwa mkali kwenu kwa kutumia ule uwezo alionipa Bwana; naam, uwezo wa kujenga na si wa kubomoa.
