2 Corinthians 13

1 This will be my third visit to you. Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be confirmed.

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

2 I have said formerly, and I now forewarn you as when I was present the second time, so now when I am absent the second time, so now when I am absent, saying to those who had sinned before, and to all the rest, "If I come again, I will not spare,"

I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

3 Since you want a proof of Christ who is speaking in me, he who is not feeble toward you, but powerful among you.

seeing that you seek a proof of Meshikha who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.

4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he now lives through the power of God. I also am weak, sharing in his weakness, but I shall live with him by the power of God.

For indeed he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

5 Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith; put your own selves to the proof. Or do you not know, your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail to abide the proof?

Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or do you not know as to your own selves, that Yeshua Meshikha is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

6 But I hope you will find that I abide the proof.

But I hope that you will know that we are not disqualified.

7 And my prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that I may appear approved, but that you may do what is noble, though I should seem unable to abide the proof.

Now we pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.

8 For I have no power against the truth, but only in defense of the truth.

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

9 For I am always glad whenever I am weak, but you are strong. For this also I am praying, for your perfect reformation.

For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.

10 For this reason I am writing thus while absent, so that when I come, I may not have to deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for pulling down.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

11 Finally, brothers, farewell. Aim at perfection, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace; so shall the God of love and peace be with you.

Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Salute one another with a holy kiss.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13 All the saints salute you.

All the saints greet you.

14 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

The grace of the Lord Yeshua Meshikha, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Rukha d'Qudsha, be with you all.
