2 Corinthians 13
1 This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two witnesses or three every saying will be confirmed.
Lo! this thridde tyme Y come to you, and in the mouth of tweyne or of thre witnessis euery word schal stonde.
2 I have told you before, and I say in advance, as present the second time, and now absent, I write to those who have previously sinned, and to all the others, that if I come to it again, I will not spare,
Y seide bifor, and seie bifor, as present twies, and now absent, to hem that bifor han synned, and to alle othere; for if Y come eftsoone, Y schal not spare.
3 since ye seek proof of the Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but is mighty in you.
Whether ye seken the preef of that Crist, that spekith in me, which is not feble in you?
4 For even if he was crucified from weakness, yet he lives from the power of God. For we in him are also weak, but we will live with him from the power of God toward you.
For thouy he was crucified of infirmyte, but he lyueth of the vertu of God. For also we ben sijk in hym, but we schulen lyue with him of the vertu of God in vs.
5 Examine yourselves whether ye are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or know ye not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless ye are test-failing something.
Asaie you silf, if ye ben in the feith; ye you silf preue. Whether ye knowen not you silf, for Crist Jhesu is in you? but in happe ye ben repreuable.
6 But I hope that ye will know that we are not test-failing.
But Y hope, that ye knowen, that we ben not repreuable.
7 Now I pray to God, to do you nothing harmful, not that we would appear test-passing, but that ye would do right, even like we might be test-failing.
And we preien the Lord, that ye do no thing of yuel; not that we seme preued, but that ye do that that is good, and that we ben as repreuable.
8 For we do not have any power against the truth, but for the truth.
For we moun no thing ayens treuthe, but for the treuthe.
9 For we are glad when we are weak and ye are strong. And this also we pray for, your full qualification.
For we ioyen, whanne we ben sijk, but ye ben myyti; and we preien this thing, youre perfeccioun.
10 Because of this I write these things while absent, so that I may not act harshly when present, according to the authority that the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
Therfor Y absent write these thingis, that Y present do not hardere, bi the powere, which the Lord yaf to me in to edificacioun, and not in to youre distruccioun.
11 Finally brothers, farewell. Be thoroughly prepared, be encouraged, think the same way, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Britheren, `hennus forward ioye ye, be ye perfit, excite ye; vndurstonde ye the same thing; haue ye pees, and God of pees and of loue schal be with you.
12 Salute each other by a holy kiss.
Grete ye wel togidere in hooli cos.
13 All the sanctified salute you.
Alle hooli men greten you wel.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with all of you. Truly.
The grace of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, and the charite of God, and the comynyng of the Hooli Gost, be with `you alle. Amen.
