19 But ^rI will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power.

34 if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions ^bwhen I come.

Plans for Travel

5 ^oI will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia, 6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.

1 For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.

2 I beg of you that ^awhen I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of ^bwalking according to the flesh.

14 Here ^lfor the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you. For ^mchildren are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

20 For I fear that perhaps when I come ^vI may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish—that perhaps there may be ^wquarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.

Final Warnings

1 ^xThis is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established ^yby the evidence of two or three witnesses.
