Final Warnings

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:1 - This will be my third visit to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:2 - I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:3 - since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:4 - For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God’s power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him in our dealing with you.

Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:6 - And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:7 - Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:8 - For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:9 - We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 13:10 - This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority—the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.
