< 2 Corinthians 13 >
1 This is my third visit to you. “Any charge must be verified by two or three witnesses.”
Third this [time] I am coming to you. In [the] mouth of two witnesses or three will be established every declaration.
2 I already warned those of you who were sinning when I visited the second time. Even though I'm not there, I'm warning them again—and all the rest of you—that when I visit I won't hesitate to act against them,
I have warned and I warn, as being present the second time and being absent now (I am writing *K*) to those having sinned before and to the rest all, that if I may come to the [same] again not I will spare [anyone].
3 since you're demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in the way he relates to you; rather he works powerfully among you.
since a proof you seek in me myself speaking of Christ who toward you not is weak but He is powerful among you.
4 Even though he was crucified in weakness, now he lives through the power of God. We too are weak in him, but you will see that we live with him through the power of God.
And for (if *K*) He was crucified in weakness yet He lives by power God’s; Also for we ourselves are weak in Him but (we will live *N(k)O*) with Him by power God’s toward you.
5 Examine yourselves to see if you are trusting God. Put yourselves to the test. Don't you yourselves realize that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless you have failed the test…
Yourselves do examine whether you are in the faith, yourselves do test; Or surely you do recognize yourselves that Jesus Christ [is] in you (is? *k*) except surely even failing you are!
6 However, I hope that you realize that we have not failed the test.
I hope now that you will know that we ourselves not are unapproved.
7 We pray to God that you won't do anything bad—not so we can show we passed the test, but so you can do what is good, even if we appear to be failures.
(We pray *N(K)O*) now to God not to do you wrong nothing, not that we ourselves approved may appear, but that you yourselves what [is] right may do, we ourselves though as unapproved may appear.
8 We can't do anything against the truth, only for the truth.
Nothing for have we power any against the truth but for the truth.
9 We're happy when we are weak, and you are strong—we pray that you may continue to improve.
We rejoice for when we ourselves may be weak, you yourselves however strong may be; But this (now *k*) also We pray for the of you perfection.
10 That is why I write about this while I'm not with you, so that when I am with you I won't have to treat you harshly by imposing my authority. The Lord gave me authority for building up, not for tearing down.
Because of therefore these things being absent I write, so that being present not with severity I may treat [you] according to the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
11 Finally, brothers and sisters, I say goodbye. Continue to improve spiritually. Encourage one another. Be in agreement. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Finally, brothers, do rejoice do be perfected, do be encouraged, the same do think, do be at peace, And the God of love and peace will be with you.
12 Greet each other with Christian affection.
do greet one another with a holy kiss.
13 All the believers here send their greetings.
Greet you the saints all.
14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit [be] with all of you (Amen *KO*) (to Corinthians second it was written from Philippi of Macedonia through of Titus and Luke. *K*)
