2 Corinthians 13:1

This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;

2 Corinthians 13:2

I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,

2 Corinthians 13:3

since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

2 Corinthians 13:4

for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.

2 Corinthians 13:5

Your ownselves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your ownselves prove ye; do ye not know your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

2 Corinthians 13:6

and I hope that ye shall know that we -- we are not disapproved of;

2 Corinthians 13:7

and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;

2 Corinthians 13:8

for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

2 Corinthians 13:9

for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for -- your perfection!

2 Corinthians 13:1

because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

2 Corinthians 13:11

Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

2 Corinthians 13:12

salute one another in an holy kiss;

2 Corinthians 13:13

salute you do all the saints;

2 Corinthians 13:14

the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, [is] with you all! Amen.
