2 Corinthians 10:8

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
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:
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Look, I could totally brag more about the authority God gave me, but here's the thing — he gave it to me to build you up, not tear you down. And honestly? I wouldn't even be embarrassed if I did brag about that.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Real authority from God is meant to lift people up, not knock them down.
