2 Corinthians 13:10

13:10 Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive12 I may not have to deal harshly with you13 by using my authority—the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!

12	tn Grk “when I am present,” but in the context of Paul’s third (upcoming) visit to Corinth, this is better translated as “when I arrive.”
13	tn The words “with you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
