Text -- 2 Corinthians 13:10 (NET)

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

NET Notes: 2Co 13:10

¹ 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.”

² tn The words “with you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
