19 Have you been thinking all along that we have been ^tdefending ourselves to you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your ^uupbuilding, beloved.

10 For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come ^jI may not have to be severe in my use of ^kthe authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.

7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
