I have previously said when I was present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have ^(C1)sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that ^(C2)if I come again I will not ^(C3)spare anyone,

For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present ^(C1)I need not use ^(C2)severity, in accordance with the ^(C3)authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
