2 Corinthians 13:1-3

1 This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;

2 I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,

3 since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

2 Corinthians 13:10

10 because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.
