Because I was sure of this, I wanted to come to you first, so that you might have a second experience of grace.
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.
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—
I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
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 when I come.
