2 Corinthians 10:10-12

New International Version

¹⁰ For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive^(A) and his speaking amounts to nothing.”^{(B) 11} Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.

¹² We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves.^(C) When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.
