Corinthios Ii 13

1 ecce tertio hoc venio ad vos in ore duorum vel trium testium stabit omne verbum

This is my third visit to you. “Any charge must be verified by two or three witnesses.”

2 praedixi et praedico ut praesens bis et nunc absens his qui ante peccaverunt et ceteris omnibus quoniam si venero iterum non parcam

I already warned those of you who were sinning when I visited the second time. Even though I'm not there, I'm warning them again—and all the rest of you—that when I visit I won't hesitate to act against them,

3 an experimentum quaeritis eius qui in me loquitur Christi qui in vos non infirmatur sed potens est in vobis

since you're demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in the way he relates to you; rather he works powerfully among you.

4 nam et si 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

Even though he was crucified in weakness, now he lives through the power of God. We too are weak in him, but you will see that we live with him through the power of God.

5 vosmet ipsos temptate si estis in fide ipsi vos probate an non cognoscitis vos ipsos quia Christus Iesus in vobis est nisi forte reprobi estis

Examine yourselves to see if you are trusting God. Put yourselves to the test. Don't you yourselves realize that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless you have failed the test…

6 spero autem quod cognoscetis quia nos non sumus reprobi

However, I hope that you realize that we have not failed the test.

7 oramus autem Deum ut nihil mali faciatis non ut nos probati pareamus sed ut vos quod bonum est faciatis nos autem ut reprobi simus

We pray to God that you won't do anything bad—not so we can show we passed the test, but so you can do what is good, even if we appear to be failures.

8 non enim possumus aliquid adversus veritatem sed pro veritate

We can't do anything against the truth, only for the truth.

9 gaudemus enim quando nos infirmi sumus vos autem potentes estis hoc et oramus vestram consummationem

We're happy when we are weak, and you are strong—we pray that you may continue to improve.

10 ideo haec absens scribo ut non praesens durius agam secundum potestatem quam Dominus dedit mihi in aedificationem et non in destructionem

That is why I write about this while I'm not with you, so that when I am with you I won't have to treat you harshly by imposing my authority. The Lord gave me authority for building up, not for tearing down.

11 de cetero fratres gaudete perfecti estote exhortamini idem sapite pacem habete et Deus dilectionis et pacis erit vobiscum

Finally, brothers and sisters, I say goodbye. Continue to improve spiritually. Encourage one another. Be in agreement. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 salutate invicem in osculo sancto

Greet each other with Christian affection.

13 salutant vos sancti omnes

All the believers here send their greetings.

14 gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi et caritas Dei et communicatio Sancti Spiritus cum omnibus vobis amen

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