2 Corinthians 10:9


← 2 Corinthians 10:8 2 Corinthians 10:9 (KJV) 2 Corinthians 10:10 →
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

In composition it retains the same general importance.
  • G1380 — δοκέω (dokéō, dok-eh'-o): a prolonged form of a primary verb, δόκω (dókō) dok'-o (used only in an alternate in certain tenses; compare the base of δεικνύω (deiknýō) G1166) of the same meaning; to think; by implication, to seem (truthfully or uncertainly); be accounted, (of own) please(-ure), be of reputation, seem (good), suppose, think, trow

The following Strong's numbers are referenced in the Greek (Textus Receptus, Scrivener 1894) text but were not explicitly tagged in the KJV source:

  • G2443 — ἵνα (hína, hin'-ah): probably from the same as the former part of ἑαυτοῦ (heautoû) G1438 (through the demonstrative idea; compare ὁ (ho) G3588); in order that (denoting the purpose or the result); albeit, because, to the intent (that), lest, so as, (so) that, (for) to.
