2 Corinthians 12:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ There Will Be No More Forgiveness. Have you been supposing all this time that we have been defending ourselves before you? Not at all! We have been speaking in Christ and in the presence of God, my dear ones, doing all things to build you up. ²⁰ I fear that when I come I may find you different from what I wish you to be, and that you may find me different from what you wish me to be.

I am afraid that this will lead to quarreling, jealousy, anger, factions, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder. ²¹ I fear that when I come back my God may humiliate me in your presence and that I may have to mourn over many who previously sinned and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and licentiousness in which they have indulged.
