2 Corinthians 13 THIS third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two witnesses, and of three, shall every word be established.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THIS third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two witnesses, and of three, shall every word be established. ² I have before said, and now say beforehand, as when present the second time, so also now when absent, to those who heretofore have sinned, 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 toward you is not weak, but is mighty in you. ⁴ For even if he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. ⁵ Try your own selves, 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 reprobate? ⁶ But I trust that ye shall know, that we are not reprobate. ⁷ Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye may do what is good, though we be as reprobate. ⁸ For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth. ⁹ For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are powerful; this also we pray for, even your perfection. ¹⁰ For this cause I write these things being absent, that when present I may not use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord gave me for edification, and not for destruction. ¹¹ Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of the same mind, be at peace; and the God of love and peace will 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.
