2 Cor 13:1This 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 13:2I 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 13:3since 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 13:4For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak 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 13:6But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test.
2 Cor 13:7Now 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 13:8For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth.
2 Cor 13:9For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you be made complete.
2 Cor 13:10For 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 13:12Greet one another with a holy kiss.
2 Cor 13:13All the saints greet you.
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.
