But some of you, thinking that I am not coming to you, have become arrogant.
What would you prefer? Am I to come to you with a stick or with love in a spirit of gentleness?
And you are arrogant! Should you not rather have mourned, so that he who has done this would have been removed from among you?
I ask that when I am present I need not show boldness by daring to oppose those who think we are acting according to human standards.
For I fear that when I come I may find you not as I wish and that you may find me not as you wish; I fear that there may perhaps be quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.
