II Corinthians 13: Paul Is Coming To Town!

"You better watch out, you better not lie, you better not pout, I'm telling you why - Apostle Paul is coming to town!"

II Corinthians ends with a promise (or perhaps a veiled threat?) that Paul is on his way to them for his third visit.  This promise comes with a warning that those who are causing trouble and misbehaving had better straighten up.  Paul reminds them a final time that they need to test and examine themselves and their own relationship with Jesus Christ rather than cast aspersions and doubt on Paul's apostleship.

It does not sound like it will be a happy reunion, unless Paul's troublers settle down and agree to work in unity with him for the good of the Church.
