Paul's Warning -- "Get Ready, 'Cause Here I Come!"

2 Corinthians 12:20-21 and 13:1-6

In light of his expressed fears as to what he might find upon his third visit to Corinth, Paul offers the proverbial "word of warning to the wise is sufficient".  When he arrives, witnesses will have the opportunity to verify any wrong doings; and if necessary, Paul will use the authority given to by Christ for tearing down rather than (what he wants to do) building up (see 13:10).
