2 Corintios 13

Les escribo todo esto estando ausente para no tener que ser severo cuando esté presente, usando la autoridad que el Señor me dio para edificar y no para destruir.

Por tanto os escribo esto ausente, por no tratar presente con dureza, conforme á la potestad que el Señor me ha dado para edificación, y no para destrucción.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
