Προς Κορινθιους Β΄ 13

1 τριτον τουτο ερχομαι προσ υμασ επι στοματοσ δυο μαρτυρων και τριων σταθησεται παν ρημα

I am coming this third time to you: by the mouth of two or three witnesses, every matter shall be established.

2 προειρηκα και προλεγω ωσ παρων το δευτερον και απων νυν γραφω τοισ προημαρτηκοσιν και τοισ λοιποισ πασιν οτι εαν ελθω εισ το παλιν ου φεισομαι

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;

3 επει δοκιμην ζητειτε του εν εμοι λαλουντοσ χριστου οσ εισ υμασ ουκ ασθενει αλλα δυνατει εν υμιν

since you seek a proof of Christ speaking by me: (who is not weak toward you, but who is mighty among you;

4 και γαρ ει εσταυρωθη εξ ασθενειασ αλλα ζη εκ δυναμεωσ θεου και γαρ ημεισ ασθενουμεν εν αυτω αλλα ζησομεθα συν αυτω εκ δυναμεωσ θεου εισ υμασ

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.)

5 εαυτουσ πειραζετε ει εστε εν τη πιστει εαυτουσ δοκιμαζετε η ουκ επιγινωσκετε εαυτουσ οτι ιησουσ χριστοσ εν υμιν εστιν ει μητι αδοκιμοι εστε

Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove yourselves: know you not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are disapproved?

6 ελπιζω δε οτι γνωσεσθε οτι ημεισ ουκ εσμεν αδοκιμοι

But I trust that you shall know that we are not disapproved.

7 ευχομαι δε προσ τον θεον μη ποιησαι υμασ κακον μηδεν ουχ ινα ημεισ δοκιμοι φανωμεν αλλ ινα υμεισ το καλον ποιητε ημεισ δε ωσ αδοκιμοι ωμεν

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.

8 ου γαρ δυναμεθα τι κατα τησ αληθειασ αλλ υπερ τησ αληθειασ

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

9 χαιρομεν γαρ οταν ημεισ ασθενωμεν υμεισ δε δυνατοι ητε τουτο δε και ευχομεθα την υμων καταρτισιν

Therefore we rejoice when we are weak, and you are strong: and this, also, we pray for, even your perfection.

10 δια τουτο ταυτα απων γραφω ινα παρων μη αποτομωσ χρησωμαι κατα την εξουσιαν ην εδωκεν μοι ο κυριοσ εισ οικοδομην και ουκ εισ καθαιρεσιν

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.

11 λοιπον αδελφοι χαιρετε καταρτιζεσθε παρακαλεισθε το αυτο φρονειτε ειρηνευετε και ο θεοσ τησ αγαπησ και ειρηνησ εσται μεθ υμων

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.

12 ασπασασθε αλληλουσ εν αγιω φιληματι

Salute one another with a holy kiss.

13 ασπαζονται υμασ οι αγιοι παντεσ

All the saints salute you.

14 η χαρισ του κυριου ιησου χριστου και η αγαπη του θεου και η κοινωνια του αγιου πνευματοσ μετα παντων υμων αμην

The favor of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
