Told

But I call God to witness on my soul, that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.

I PAUL also exhort you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in appearance am humble among you, but being absent am bold towards you;

For I fear lest when I come I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found such as you wish not; lest there shall be strife, envy, anger, contentions, evil speakings, whisperings, pride, dissensions;

but I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know not the word of those who are puffed up but the power;

to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

Being

For this reason, being absent, I write these things, that I may not use sharpness when present, with the power which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down.

Heretofore

lest when I come again my God shall humble me before you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned, and not changed their minds, in respect to impurity and fornication and lewdness which they have committed.
