< 2 Corinthians 13 >

1 I come to you this third time; on the mouth of two or three witnesses will every saying be established;
This is the third time that I prepare to come to you; and in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2 I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,
I have foretold you, and again I foretell you; as also twice while I was with you I told you, (so) now also being distant I write to those who have sinned, and to the rest of the others; that if I come again I will not spare.
3 since you seek a proof of the Christ speaking in me, who is not weak to you, but is powerful in you,
Inasmuch as you demand the proof of the Meshiha who speaketh in me, (of) Him who is not weak among you, but is mighty among you:
4 for even if He was crucified from weakness, yet He lives from the power of God; for we also are weak in Him, but we will live with Him from the power of God toward you.
-for though he was crucified in weakness, yet he liveth with the power of Aloha: -so also we are weak with you, but we live with him through the power of Aloha which is among you.
5 Try yourselves, if you are in the faith; prove yourselves; do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are not disapproved of in some respect?
Prove yourselves, whether in the faith itself you stand; try yourselves. Are you not assured that Jeshu the Meshiha is in you, if you be not reprobates?
6 And I hope that you will know that we are not disapproved of;
But I trust you will know that we are not reprobate.
7 and I pray before God that you do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;
But I implore of Aloha that there may not be any thing in you that is evil, that our proving may be seen; but that you may do good, and that we may be as unproved.
8 for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;
For we are not able to do any thing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 for we rejoice when we may be weak, but you may be powerful; and we also pray for this—your perfection!
For we rejoice when we are weak, and you are strong: but this also we pray, that you may be perfect.
10 Because of this, these things—being absent—I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the LORD gave me for building up, and not for casting down.
Therefore while distant I write these (things), that when I am come I may not act severely, according to the power which my Lord hath given me for your edification, and not for your destruction.
11 From now on, brothers, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Wherefore, my brethren, rejoice, and be perfect, and be comforted, and let agreement and peace be among you; and the God of love and of peace shall be with you.
12 Greet one another in a holy kiss.
Salute one another with the holy kiss.
13 All the holy ones greet you.
All the saints ask for your peace.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, [is] with you all! Amen.
THE PEACE OF OUR LORD JESHU MESHIHA, AND THE LOVE OF ALOHA, AND THE COMMUNION OF THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS, BE WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.
