dby - 2Corinthians:13:1-10

dby@2Corinthians:13:1 @ This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every matter be established.

dby@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I have declared beforehand, and I say beforehand as present the second time, and now absent, to those that have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare.

dby@2Corinthians:13:3 @ Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, (who is not weak towards you, but is powerful among you,

dby@2Corinthians:13:4 @ for if indeed he has been crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power; for indeed we are weak in him, but we shall live with him by God's power towards you,)

dby@2Corinthians:13:5 @ examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates?

dby@2Corinthians:13:6 @ Now I hope that ye will know that we are not reprobates.

dby@2Corinthians:13:7 @ But we pray to God that ye may do nothing evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do what is right, and we be as reprobates.

dby@2Corinthians:13:8 @ For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

dby@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we rejoice when we may be weak and ye may be powerful. But this also we pray for, your perfecting.

dby@2Corinthians:13:10 @ On this account I write these things being absent, that being present I may not use severity according to the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for overthrowing.
