Context — Paul’s Apostolic Authority

9I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters. 10For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.”

11Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.

12We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance. 13We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.

2 Corinthians 10:11 Summary

This verse is saying that Paul wants people to know that he is the same in person as he is in his letters. He's not just talking big, but he will also follow through with his actions when he is with them (as seen in Second Corinthians 13:2). Paul is showing that his words and actions are consistent, and that's something we can all learn from. We should strive to be people of our word, just like Paul, and trust in God's power to help us live out our faith, as encouraged in Philippians 4:13.

Gill's Exposition on 2 Corinthians 10:11

Let such an one think this,.... The apostle seems to have in view some one particular person, though he does not choose to name him, who had more especially reproached him after this manner; and who

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Corinthians 10:11

Let 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. Think this - `consider this.'

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:11

I would have no such person think so of me, for he shall find me the same in deed when I come, that I have spoken myself to be by my letters. I do not write vainy, merely to terrify you, but what I truly intend to do, and when I come he shall find that I will do.

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:11

11 Let 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. Ver. 11. Such will we be, &c.] That we have not hitherto been so, was because we spared you. Posse et nolle nobile, saith Chrysostom. Kindness is godliness, Isaiah 40:6, çñã

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:11

(11) Such will we be also.—As a verb of some kind must be supplied, it would be better to give the present: Such are we. It is not so much a threat of what will happen in a particular instance as a statement of the general consistent character of his life.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:11

Verse 11. Such as we are in word] A threatening of this kind would doubtless alarm the false apostle; and it is very likely that he did not await the apostle's coming, as he would not be willing to try the fate of Elymas.

Cambridge Bible on 2 Corinthians 10:11

11. such a one] i.e. the man who speaks in this way. See note on ch. 2 Corinthians 2:7.that, such as we are in word by letters] It is evident that St Paul’s opponents were not very measured in their opposition to him. Not only did they deny his Apostolic authority (1 Corinthians 9:1; 1 Corinthians 9:6), not only did they ridicule his appearance, but they even charged him with the grossest cowardice. For nothing is more contemptible than to utter loud threats when at a distance, and to subside into silence and meekness when confronted with an adversary. See note on. 2 Corinthians 10:1.

Barnes' Notes on 2 Corinthians 10:11

Let such an one think this ... - Let them not flatter themselves that there will be any discrepancy between my words and my deeds.

Whedon's Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:11

11. Think—Count upon, assume. Letters… absent… deed… present— He does not promise that his elocution will be improved. It is his deed, not his speech, that will be as powerful as his letters.
