Final Warnings

13 This will be the third time I am coming to you. “Every accusation must be verified by two or three witnesses.”^[a] ²I have already warned those who sinned previously and all the rest. Although I am absent now, I am warning them as I did on my second visit: If I come back, I will not spare you, ³since you want proof that the Messiah^[b] is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you but is making his power felt among you. ⁴Though he was crucified in weakness, he lives by God’s power. We are weak with him, but by God’s power we will live for you.
