Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence [am] base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: (10:1)

For [his] letters, say they, [are] weighty and powerful; but [his] bodily presence [is] weak, and [his] speech contemptible. (10:10)

But though [I be] rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things. (11:6)
