| [2]I have before said to you, and again I say to you beforehand, (as also I said to you a second time, while I was with you; and now also, while absent, I write to those who have sinned and to the others,) that if I come again, I will not spare: |
[2]I told you before, and tell you before: as though I had been present the second time, so write I now being absent to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all others, that if I come again, I will not spare, |
| [3]because ye demand proof, that it is the Messiah that speaketh by me, who hath not been powerless among you, but powerful among you. |
