For I long to see you so that I may share with you some spiritual gift so that you may be strengthened—
and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
If you are hungry, eat at home, so that when you come together, it will not be for your condemnation. About the other things I will give instructions when I come.
I do not want to see you now just in passing, for I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power.
Here I am, ready to come to you this third time, and I will not be a burden because I do not want what is yours but you, for children ought not to save up for their parents but parents for their children.
As we work together with him, we entreat you also not to accept the grace of God in vain.
