2 Corinthians 13
NASB
2 Cor 13:1
&
This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY FACT IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.
2 Cor 13:2
&
I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest {as well,} that if I come again I will not spare {anyone,}
2 Cor 13:3
&
since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.
2 Cor 13:4
&
For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak (One early ms reads {with Him}) in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God {directed} toward you.
2 Cor 13:5
&
Test yourselves {to see} if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test?
2 Cor 13:6
&
But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test.
2 Cor 13:7
&
Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may appear unapproved.
2 Cor 13:8
&
For we can do nothing against the truth, but {only} for the truth.
2 Cor 13:9
&
For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you be made complete.
2 Cor 13:10
&
For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I {need} not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
2 Cor 13:11
&
Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Cor 13:12
&
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
2 Cor 13:14
&
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
