< 2 Corinthians 13 >
1 THIS third time I am coming to you: by the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every charge be established.
Ovo treæi put idem k vama; u ustima dva ili tri svjedoka ostaæe svaka rijeè.
2 I have told you before, and I repeat it, as when I was present the second time, and now absent, I write to those who have sinned already, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare you:
Naprijed kazah i naprijed govorim kako u vas bivši drugi put, i sad ne buduæi kod vas pišem onima koji su prije sagriješili i svima ostalima da ako doðem opet neæu poštedjeti.
3 since ye demand a proof that Christ speaketh in me, who to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
Jer tražite da iskušate Hrista što u meni govori, koji meðu vama nije slab, nego je silan meðu vama.
4 For though he was crucified in weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God: for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God displayed towards you.
Jer ako i raspet bi po slabosti, ali je živ po sili Božijoj; jer smo i mi slabi u njemu, ali æemo biti živi s njim silom Božijom meðu vama.
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your ownselves: know ye not your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobate?
Sami sebe okušajte jeste li u vjeri, sami sebe ogledajte. Ili ne poznajete sebe da je Isus Hristos u vama? veæ ako da u èemu nijeste valjani.
6 But I hope that ye shall know that we are not reprobate.
A nadam se da æete poznati da mi nijesmo nevaljani.
7 Now I pray unto God that ye do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you may do that which is laudable, though we should be as reprobates.
A molimo se Bogu da vi ne èinite nikakva zla, ne da se mi valjani pokažemo, nego da vi dobro èinite, a mi kao nevaljani da budemo.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
Jer ništa ne možemo na istinu nego za istinu.
9 For we rejoice when we are weak, but ye are strong: and this also we pray for, even your perfect establishment.
Jer se radujemo kad mi slabimo a vi jaèate. A zato se i molimo Bogu, za vaše savršenstvo.
10 For this cause, though absent, I have written these things, that when I am present I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord hath given me for edification, and not for destruction.
Zato, ne buduæi kod vas, pišem ovo da kad doðem ne uèinim bez šteðenja po vlasti koju mi je Gospod dao na popravljanje a ne na raskopavanje.
11 Finally, brethren, rejoice: be perfectly united together, be comforted, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
A dalje, braæo, radujte se, savršujte se, utješavajte se, jednako mislite, mir imajte: i Bog ljubavi i mira biæe s vama.
12 Salute one another with a holy kiss.
Pozdravite jedan drugoga cjelivom svetijem.
13 All the saints salute you.
Pozdravljaju vas svi sveti.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Luke.
Blagodat Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista i ljubav Boga i oca i zajednica svetoga Duha sa svima vama. Amin.
