Isaiah 66:5

2 Corinthians 13 2
I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

1 Corinthians 5 1-1 Corinthians 5 5
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn instead, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing.In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Luke 6:22

2 Corinthians 10 1-2 Corinthians 10 11
Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.For,“ His letters”, they say,“ are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
