Corinthios Ii 13

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

Lo this is the thirde time that I come vnto you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall euery worde stand

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

I tolde you before, and tell you before: as though I had bene present the seconde time, so write I nowe being absent to them which heretofore haue sinned and to all others, that if I come againe, I will not spare,

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

Seeing that ye seeke experience of Christ, that speaketh in mee, which towarde you is not weake, but is mightie in 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

For though hee was crucified concerning his infirmitie, yet liueth hee through the power of God. And wee no doubt are weake in him, but we shall liue with him, through the power of God towarde you.

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

Proue your selues whether ye are in the faith: examine your selues: knowe yee not your owne selues, howe that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

6 spero autem quod cognoscetis quia nos non sumus reprobi

But I trust that ye shall knowe that wee are not reprobates.

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

Nowe I pray vnto God that yee doe none euill, not that we should seeme approued, but that ye should doe that which is honest: though we be as reprobates.

8 non enim possumus aliquid adversus veritatem sed pro veritate

For wee can not doe any thing against the trueth, but for the trueth.

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

For we are glad when wee are weake, and that ye are strong: this also we wish for, euen your perfection.

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

Therefore write I these thinges being absent, least when I am present, I should vse sharpenesse, according to the power which the Lord hath giuen mee, to edification, and not to destruction.

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

Finally brethren, fare ye well: be perfect: be of good comfort: be of one minde: liue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you.

12 salutate invicem in osculo sancto

Greete one another with an holy kisse.

13 salutant vos sancti omnes

All the Saintes salute you.

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

The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, and the loue of God, and the communion of the holy Ghost be with you all, Amen. ‘The seconde Epistle to the Corinthians, written from Philippi, a citie in Macedonia, and sent by Titus and Lucas.’
