1. This is the third time that I’m coming to visit you. Every matter is settled on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
2. When I was with you on my second visit, I already warned those who continued to sin. Now I’m repeating that warning to all the rest of you while I’m at a safe distance: if I come again, I won’t spare anyone.
3. Since you are demanding proof that Christ speaks through me, Christ isn’t weak in dealing with you but shows his power among you.
