1 Corinthians 4:18-21

18Some are aarrogant, bas though I were not coming to you. 19But cI will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power. 20For dthe kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. 21What do you wish? eShall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness?

1 Corinthians 5:3-5

3For though fabsent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. 4When you are assembled gin the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5you are hto deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so ithat his spirit may be saved jin the day of the Lord. ▼

2 Corinthians 1:23-24

23But lI call God to witness against me—it was mto spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth. 24Not that we nlord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm oin your faith.

2 Corinthians 2:1-3

1For I made up my mind pnot to make another painful visit to you. 2For qif I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? 3And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, rfor I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

2 Corinthians 10:2

2I beg of you sthat when I am present I may not have to show tboldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh.

2 Corinthians 10:6

6 ubeing ready to punish every disobedience, vwhen your obedience is complete.

2 Corinthians 10:8-9

8For even if I boast a little too much of wour authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed. 9I do not want to appear to be frightening you with my letters.

2 Corinthians 13:2

2 xI warned ythose who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that zif I come again I will not spare them—

2 Corinthians 13:10

10For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come aaI may not have to be absevere in my use of acthe authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
