Corinthios Ii 13

1 Ecce tertio hoc venio ad vos: In ore duorum, vel trium testium stabit omne verbum.

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

2 Prædixi, et prædico, ut præsens, et nunc absens iis, qui ante peccaverunt, et ceteris omnibus, quoniam si venero iterum, non parcam.

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 An experimentum quæritis eius, qui in me loquitur Christus, qui in vobis non infirmatur, sed potens est in vobis?

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

4 Nam etsi crucifixus est ex infirmitate: sed vivit ex virtute Dei. Nam et nos infirmi sumus in illo: sed vivemus cum eo ex virtute Dei in vobis.

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 Vosmetipsos tentate si estis in fide: ipsi vos probate. An non cognoscitis vosmetipsos quia Christus Iesus in vobis est? nisi forte reprobi estis.

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 Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

6 Spero autem quod cognoscetis, quia nos non sumus reprobi.

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

7 Oramus autem Deum ut nihil mali faciatis, non ut nos probati appareamus, sed ut vos quod bonum est faciatis: nos autem ut reprobi simus.

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 Non enim possumus aliquid adversus veritatem, sed pro veritate.

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

9 Gaudemus enim, quoniam nos infirmi sumus, vos autem potentes estis. Hoc et oramus vestram consummationem.

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

10 Ideo hæc absens scribo, ut non præsens durius agam secundum potestatem, quam Dominus dedit mihi in ædificationem, et non in destructionem.

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 De cetero, fratres, gaudete, perfecti estote, exhortamini, idem sapite, pacem habete, et Deus pacis, et dilectionis erit vobiscum.

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 Salutate invicem in osculo sancto.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13 Salutant vos omnes sancti.

All the saints greet you.

14 Gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi, et charitas Dei, et communicatio Sancti Spiritus sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.

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