“Let 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.”

10:9 I say this, that I may not seem to terrify you by letters - Threatening more than I can perform.
10:10 His bodily presence is weak - His stature, says St. Chrysostom, was low, his body crooked, and his head bald.
10:12 For we presume not - A strong irony. To equal ourselves - As partners of the same office. Or to compare ourselves - As partakers of the same labour. They among themselves limiting themselves - Choosing and limiting their provinces according to their own fancy.
10:13 But we will not, like them, boastingly extend ourselves beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the province which God hath allotted us - To me, in particular, as the apostle of the gentiles. A measure which reaches even unto you - God allotted to each apostle his province, and the measure or bounds thereof.
2Co 10:11 Let such an one think this. Let all who make such statements know that when I come I will in presence do just as I have written.
Let such a one thinke this: that such as we are in word by letters, when we are absent, such will we be also in deede when we are present.
