2 Corinthians 13:2 Cross References - RYLT

² I have said before, and I say it before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,

¹⁹ but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power; ²⁰ for not in word is the reign of God, but in power? ²¹ what do you wish? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in love, with a spirit also of meekness?

⁵ to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

²³ And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth;

¹ And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you, ² and I beseech you, that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh;

⁸ for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed; ⁹ that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters, ¹⁰ 'because the letters indeed -- says one -- are weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.' ¹¹ This one -- let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, we are in deed.

²⁰ for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I -- I may be found by you such as you do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections, ²¹ lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.

¹⁰ because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.
