2 Corinthians 13
1 I am coming this third time to you: by the mouth of two or three witnesses, every matter shall 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 told you before, and now forewarn the second time, (as if present, though still absent, ) those who have formerly sinned, and all others, that when 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 Christ speaking by me: (who is not weak toward you, but who is mighty among 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 though we was crucified through weakness, yet he lives by the power of God; and though we also are weak with him, yet we shall live with him, by 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 Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove yourselves: know you not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are disapproved?
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 But I trust that you shall know that we are not disapproved.
But I trust you will know that we are not reprobate.
7 However, I pray to God that you do no evil--not that we may appear approved; but that you may do what is good, though, indeed, we should be 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 can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
For we are not able to do any thing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 Therefore we rejoice when we are weak, and you are strong: and this, also, we pray for, even your perfection.
For we rejoice when we are weak, and you are strong: but this also we pray, that you may be perfect.
10 For this reason, being absent, I write these things, that, when present, I may not act sharply, according to the power which the Lord has give me for edification, and not for destruction.
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 Finally, brethren, farewell: be perfect: comfort yourselves: mind the same thing: live in 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 Salute one another with a holy kiss.
Salute one another with the holy kiss.
13 All the saints salute you.
All the saints ask for your peace.
14 The favor of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
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.
