Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 13
{13:1} This is the third time I am coming to you. "At the mouth of
two or three witnesses shall every word be established."[1] {13:2} I
have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present
the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have
sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will
not spare; {13:3} seeing that you seek a proof of Messiah who speaks
in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you. {13:4} For
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. {13:5} Test your own selves, whether you
are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don't you know as to your
own selves, that Yeshua the Messiah is in you?--unless indeed you are
disqualified. {13:6} But I hope that you will know that we aren't
disqualified.
{13:7} Now I 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. {13:8} For we can do nothing against the truth, but for
the truth. {13:9} For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong.
And this we also pray for, even your perfecting. {13:10} 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.
{13:11} 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. {13:12} Greet one another with a holy kiss. {13:13} All the
holy ones greet you. {13:14} The grace of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you
all. Amen.
