2 Corinthians 11:29

Who is weak? Paul sought to be “all things to all men” (1 Cor. 9:22). The true Christian will make no display of what superior strength he may have in order to impress others who are weak. Men conscious of their own weakness seek counsel of those who not only possess strength but who know how to use it with tenderness and understanding. Knowing how much he had been forgiven, realizing his own weaknesses, Paul knew how to forgive and to be patient with the weaknesses of others. He was able to share the fears and failures, the trials and weaknesses, of other men with true understanding. His surpassing spiritual strength found expression in surpassing gentleness. Nothing tends so to discourage others as a cold, harsh, dogmatic dealing with their difficulties.

I burn not. Or, “I am not incensed,” or, “I am not indignant.”
