Seeker Overlay ON

* I am coming this third time to you : by the mouth of two or three witnesses , every matter shall be established . * I have told you before , and now forewarn the second time , (as if present , though still absent ,) those who have formerly sinned , and all others , that when I come again I will not spare ; * since you seek a proof of Christ speaking by me : (who is not weak toward you , but who is mighty among you ; * for though we was crucified through weakness , yet he lives by the power of God ; and though we also are weak with him , yet we shall live with him , by the power of God toward you .) * Examine yourselves , whether you be in the faith ; prove yourselves : know you not yourselves , that Jesus Christ is in you , unless you are disapproved ? * But I trust that you shall know that we are not disapproved . * However , I pray to God that you do no evil-not that we may appear approved ; but that you may do what is good , though , indeed , we should be disapproved . * For we can do nothing against the truth , but for the truth . * Therefore we rejoice when we are weak , and you are strong : and this , also , we pray for , even your perfection . * For this reason , being absent , I write these things , that , when present , I may not act sharply , according to the power which the Lord has give me for edification , and not for destruction .
