Chapter 13

¹ Behold, this is the third time I am coming to you: In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word stand.
² I have told before, and foretell, as present, and now absent, to them that sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare.
³ Do you seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty in you?
⁴ For although he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him: but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you.
⁵ Try your own selves if you be in the faith; prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates?
⁶ But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.
⁷ Now we pray God, that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and that we may be as reprobates.
⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth; but for the truth.
⁹ For we rejoice that we are weak, and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection.
¹⁰ Therefore I write these things, being absent, that, being present, I may not deal more severely, according to the power which the Lord hath given me unto edification, and not unto destruction.
¹¹ For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you.
¹² Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the saints salute you.
¹³ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.

Chapter 13

¹ This is the third time I am coming to you: By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
² I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them who heretofore have sinned, and to all others, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
³ Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who toward you is not weak, but is mighty in you.
⁴ For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you.
⁵ Examine yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye are reprobates?
⁶ But I trust that ye will know that we are not reprobates.
⁷ Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we should be as reprobates.
⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
⁹ For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
¹⁰ Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
¹¹ Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
¹² Greet one another with a holy kiss.
¹³ All the saints salute you.
¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.

¹ is the third time I am coming to you. "At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established."
² have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
³ that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.
⁴ he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
⁵ your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don't you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you are disqualified.
⁶ I hope that you will know that we aren't disqualified.
⁷ I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.
⁸ we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
⁹ we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.
¹⁰ this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.
¹¹ brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
¹² one another with a holy kiss.
¹³ the saints greet you.
¹⁴ grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.

¹ This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every matter be established.
² I have declared beforehand, and I say beforehand as present the second time, and now absent, to those that have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare.
³ Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, (who is not weak towards you, but is powerful among you,
⁴ for if indeed he has been crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power; for indeed *we* are weak in him, but we shall live with him by God's power towards you,)
⁵ examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates?
⁶ Now I hope that ye will know that *we* are not reprobates.
⁷ But we pray to God that ye may do nothing evil; not that *we* may appear approved, but that *ye* may do what is right, and *we* be as reprobates.
⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
⁹ For we rejoice when *we* may be weak and *ye* may be powerful. But this also we pray for, your perfecting.
¹⁰ On this account I write these things being absent, that being present I may not use severity according to the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for overthrowing.
¹¹ For the rest, brethren, rejoice; be perfected; be encouraged; be of one mind; be at peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
¹² Salute one another with a holy kiss.
¹³ All the saints salute you.
¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, [be] with you all.

¹ This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every word established.
² I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to them that have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
³ seeing that ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me; who to you-ward is not weak, but is powerful in you:
⁴ for he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God toward you.
⁵ Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate.
⁶ But I hope that ye shall know that we are not reprobate.

Chapter 13

¹ This is the third time that I am coming to you. From the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be made certain.
² I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;
³ Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:
⁴ For he was feeble in that he was put to death on the cross, but he is living by the power of God. And we are feeble in him, but we will be living with him through the power of God in relation to you.
⁵ Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?
⁶ But it is my hope that you will have no doubt that we are truly Christ's.
⁷ Now our prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that it may be put to our credit, but so that you may do what is right, whatever we may seem.
⁸ Because we are able to do nothing against what is true, but only for it.
⁹ For we are glad when we are feeble and you are strong: and this is our prayer, even that you may be made complete.
¹⁰ For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.
¹¹ Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.
¹² Give one another a holy kiss.
¹³ All the saints send their love to you.
¹⁴ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
