2Corinthians:13

Seeker Overlay ON

* This third time I am coming to you . In the mouth of two witnesses or three every saying will be confirmed . * I have told you before , and I say in advance , as present the second time , and now absent , I write to those who have previously sinned , and to all the others , that if I come to it again , I will not spare , * since ye seek proof of the Christ speaking in me , who is not weak toward you , but is mighty in you . * For even if he was crucified from weakness , yet he lives from the power of God . For we in him are also weak , but we will live with him from the power of God toward you . * Examine yourselves whether ye are in the faith . Test yourselves . Or know ye not yourselves , that Jesus Christ is in you ? Unless ye are test-failing something . * But I hope that ye will know that we are not test-failing . * Now I pray to God , to do you nothing harmful , not that we would appear test-passing , but that ye would do right , even like we might be test-failing . * For we do not have any power against the truth , but for the truth . * For we are glad when we are weak and ye are strong . And this also we pray for , your full qualification . * Because of this I write these things while absent , so that I may not act harshly when present , according to the authority that the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down . * Finally brothers , farewell . Be thoroughly prepared , be encouraged , think the same way , live in peace , and the God of love and peace will be with you . * Salute each other by a holy kiss . * All the sanctified salute you . * The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ , and the love of God , and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit , is with all of you . Truly .
