2 Corinthians 13

1 The third time am I coming to you. By the mouth of two or three witnesses, every matter shall be established.

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

2 I have foretold, and now the second time, as if I was present, though being absent, I foretell to those who have sinned, and to all others, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

3 since you seek a proof of Christ’s speaking in me, who toward you is not weak, but who is mighty in you:

Since ye seek a proof of the Messiah speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

4 for though he was crucified in 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.

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of YHWH. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of YHWH toward you.

5 Make trial of yourselves, whether you are in the faith; put yourselves to the proof. Do you not know your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you? unless you be without proof.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Yahushua the Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?

6 But I hope that you will know that we are not without proof.

But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

7 Yet I pray to God that you may do no evil; not that we may appear as having proof, but that you may do what is good, though we be as without proof.

Now I pray to YHWH that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but we can do something for the truth.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

9 For we rejoice when we are weak, and you are strong. And we pray also for this―your perfection.

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

10 For this reason, I write these things, while absent, that I may not, when present, use severity, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification, and not for destruction.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which YHWH hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

11 Finally, brethren, farewell; be perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace; and the God of love and of peace will be with you.

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the Elohim of love and peace shall be with you.

12 Salute one another with a holy kiss.

Greet one another with an holy kiss.

13 All the saints salute you.

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.

The favour of the Master Yahushua the Messiah, and the love of YHWH, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. amein.
