2 Corinthians 13
1 This, I say, is the third time I am coming to you: and at the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
Ecce tertio hoc venio ad vos: In ore duorum, vel trium testium stabit omne verbum.
2 I said before, and I again tell you beforehand, as if I were present the second time; and being absent I now write to those who have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare:
Praedixi enim, et praedico, ut praesens vobis, et nunc absens iis, qui ante peccaverunt, et ceteris omnibus, quoniam si venero iterum, non parcam.
3 since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but is powerful among you.
An experimentum quaeritis eius, qui in me loquitur Christus, qui in vobis non infirmatur, sed potens est in vobis?
4 For if He was crucified as from weakness, yet He now liveth by the power of God: for we also are weak in Him, but shall live with Him by the power of God manifested to you.
Nam etsi crucifixus est ex infirmitate: sed vivit ex virtute Dei. Nam et nos infirmi sumus in illo: sed vivimus cum eo ex virtute Dei in vobis.
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove yourselves: do ye not know yourselves to be such that Jesus Christ is in you? unless ye are reprovable.
Vosmetipsos tentate si estis in fide: ipsi vos probate. An non cognoscitis vosmetipsos quia Christus Iesus in vobis est? nisi forte reprobi estis.
6 But I hope ye will soon know that we are not disapproved.
Spero autem quod cognoscetis, quia nos non sumus reprobi.
7 I pray to God that ye may do no evil: and not that we may appear to be approved by your punishment, but that ye may do that which is good, though we should seem to be disapproved.
Oramus autem Deum ut nihil mali faciatis, non ut nos probati appareamus, sed ut vos quod bonum est faciatis: nos autem ut reprobi simus.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
Non enim possumus aliquid adversus veritatem, sed pro veritate.
9 For we rejoice when we exert not our power, and when ye are strong: as this is what we wish, even your perfection.
Gaudemus enim, quoniam nos infirmi sumus, vos autem potentes estis. Hoc et oramus vestram consummationem.
10 Therefore I write these things while absent, that when present I may not use severity, according to the power which the Lord hath given me for edification, and not for destruction.
Ideo haec absens scribo, ut non praesens durius agam secundum potestatem, quam Dominus dedit mihi in aedificationem, et non in destructionem.
11 Finally, my brethren, farewel: be reformed, be exhorted, be of one mind, live in peace: and the God of love and peace will be with you.
De cetero, fratres, gaudete, perfecti estote, exhortamini, idem sapite, pacem habete, et Deus pacis, et dilectionis erit vobiscum.
12 Salute one another with an holy kiss.
Salutate invicem in osculo sancto.
13 All the saints salute you. May the favor of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Salutant vos omnes sancti.
14 and the love of God, and the communication of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
Gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi, et charitas Dei, et communicatio sancti Spiritus sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
