  6. 1 Corinthians 5:1–5Rank 6 from verse 10
    Open

    1IT is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.

    2And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

    3For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

    4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

    5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

  7. 2 Corinthians 10:1–11Rank 7 from verse 10
    Open

    1NOW I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

    2But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

    3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

    4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

    5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

    6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

    7Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.

    8For 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:

    9That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

    10For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

    11Let 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.
