Final Warnings and Exhortations

13 This is the third time I am coming to you.(A) Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.[a](B) I gave a warning when I was present the second time, and now I give a warning(C) while I am absent to those who sinned before and to all the rest: If I come again, I will not be lenient, since you seek proof of Christ speaking in me.(D) He is not weak in dealing with you, but powerful among you. For he was crucified(E) in weakness, but he lives(F) by the power of God. For we also are weak in him,(G) but in dealing with you we will live(H) with him by God’s power.
