Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(2Co 10:9) “That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. (10) For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.”  Why say such things? Answer: to hurt Paul, both his person and reputation. How did Paul find out? Some well meaning brother told him. People tell the pastor things that hurt him rather than really help him.
