1. This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
2. I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
3. seeing that you seek a proof of Messiah who speaks in me; who towards you is not weak, but is powerful in you.
