2 Corinthians 13

CHAPTER 13 Final Exhortations

1 This third time I come to you. By the mouth of two witnesses and three [³is established ¹every ²saying]. 2 I have described beforehand and say beforehand, as being at hand the second time, and being absent now I write to the ones who previously sinned, and to all the rest, that if I should come, for the again I shall not spare, 3 since [²a proof ¹you seek] of the [³in ⁴me ²speaking ¹Christ], which among you is not weak, but is mighty in you. 4 For even if he was crucified from out of weakness, yet he lives through power of God. For even we are weak in him, but we shall live with him by God's power among you. 5 Test yourselves, if you are in the belief! Try yourselves! Or do you not recognize yourselves that Jesus Christ [²in ³you ¹is]? -- except you be rejected. 6 But I hope that you know that we are not rejected. 7 But I make a vow to God [²to not do ¹for you ⁴evil ³anything]; not that we [²approved ¹should appear], but that you [²good ¹should do], and we [²as ³rejected ¹might be]. 8 For not are we able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we rejoice whenever we should be weak, but you should be mighty. But this also we make a vow -- your readying. 10 On account of these things [²being absent ¹I write], that being at hand [²not ⁴severely ¹I should ³treat you], according to the authority which [³gave ⁴to me ¹the ²Lord] for edification, and not for demolition. 11 The rest, brethren, rejoice! Be readied! Be comforted! The same thing think! Make peace! and the God of the love and peace will be with you. 12 Greet one another with a holy kiss! 13 [⁴greet ⁵you ²the ³holy ones ¹All]. 14 The favor of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the holy spirit be with you all. Amen.
