 |
| |
| | 2Cr 13:1 | This is the third time I am coming to you. Any charge must be sustained by the evidence of two or three witnesses.
| |
| | 2Cr 13:2 | I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them--
| |
| | 2Cr 13:3 | since you desire proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you.
| |
| | 2Cr 13:4 | For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we are weak in him, but in dealing with you we shall live with him by the power of God.
| |
| | 2Cr 13:5 | Examine yourselves, to see whether you are holding to your faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? --unless indeed you fail to meet the test!
| |
| | 2Cr 13:6 | I hope you will find out that we have not failed.
| |
| | 2Cr 13:7 | But we pray God that you may not do wrong--not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to have failed.
| |
| | 2Cr 13:8 | For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
| |
| | 2Cr 13:9 | For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. What we pray for is your improvement.
| |
| | 2Cr 13:10 | I write this while I am away from you, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
| |
| | 2Cr 13:11 | Finally, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways, heed my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
| |
| | 2Cr 13:12 | Greet one another with a holy kiss.\"
