2 Coríntios 13

¹ This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;

² I have said before, and I say it before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,

³ since a proof you seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

⁴ for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he does live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.

⁵ Your ownselves try you, if you are in the faith; your ownselves prove you; do you not know your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if you be not in some respect disapproved of?

⁶ and I hope that you shall know that we — we are not disapproved of;

⁷ and I pray before God that you do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;

⁸ for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

⁹ for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and you may be powerful; and this also we pray for — your perfection!

¹⁰ because of this, these things — being absent — I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

¹¹ Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

¹² salute one another in an holy kiss;

¹³ salute you do all the saints;

¹⁴ the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen.
