Seeker Overlay ON
*
This is the third time I am coming to you .
In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established .
*
I said before ,
and now say beforehand ,
as when present the second time ,
so also absent now ,
to those who have sinned before ,
and to all the others ,
that if I come again ,
I will not spare ;
*
since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me ,
who towards you is not weak ,
but is mighty among you .
*
For though he was crucified through weakness ,
yet he liveth through the power of God ;
for we also are weak in him ,
but we shall live together with him by the power of God toward you .
*
Try yourselves ,
whether ye are in the faith ;
prove your own selves .
Know ye not your own selves ,
that Christ Jesus is in you ,
unless ye are unapproved ?
*
But I trust that ye shall know ,
that we are not unapproved .
*
Now we pray to God that ye do no evil ;
not in order that we may appear approved ,
but that ye may do what is good ,
though we be as unapproved .
*
For we have no power against the truth ,
but for the truth .
*
For we are glad ,
when we are weak ,
and ye are strong ;
this also we pray for ,
even your perfection .
*
For this cause I write these things while absent ,
that when present I may not use sharpness ,
according to the power which the Lord gave me for edification ,
and not for destruction .
