2 Corinthians Chapter 13

1I am coming to you this third time. Every matter shall be established at the attestation of two or three witnesses. 2I have spoken beforehand, and I am speaking beforehand, as when I was present on the second occasion, and being now absent, I am writing to those who previously sinned, and all the others, that if I come again, I will not spare you, 3since you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me, who is not weak towards you, but is powerful in you. 4For in fact, if he was crucified through weakness, then he lives through the power of God. And indeed, we are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God towards you. 5Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith – test yourselves. Or do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? – unless, that is, you are unauthenticated in some way. 6And I hope that you will know that we are not unauthenticated. 7And I pray to God that you will do nothing wrong, not so that we appear authenticated, but so that you do what is right, whereas we should be as it were unauthenticated. 8For we cannot do anything against the truth, only for the truth. 9For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. But this we also pray for: your restoration. 10On this account I, being absent, am writing these things, so that when I am present I shall not have to deal with matters severely, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for edification and not for demolition. 11Finally, brothers, rejoice, amend your ways, be encouraged, be of one mind, be peaceful, and the God of love and peace will be with you. 12Greet each other with a holy kiss. 13All the saints greet you. 14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the holy spirit, be with you all. Amen.
