2 Corinthians, Chapter 13

¹ This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY^a Lit wordFACT^b Lit shall beIS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE^c Lit mouthTESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES. ² I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone, ³ since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you. ⁴ For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak^d One early ms reads with Himin Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.	1 Co2 12:14 Deu 17:6 Deu 19:15 Mat 18:16 2 Co2 12:21 Co1 4:21 Co2 13:10 Co2 1:23 Co2 10:11 3 Co2 10:1 Co2 10:10 Mat 10:20 Co1 5:4 Co1 7:40 Co2 9:8 Co2 10:4 4 Php 2:7 Pe1 3:18 Rom 1:4 Rom 6:4 Co1 6:14 Co1 2:3 Co2 13:9 Rom 6:8
⁵ Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you^e Lit are unapprovedfail the test? ⁶ But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves^f Lit are not unapproveddo not fail the test. ⁷ Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may^g Lit be asappear unapproved. ⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth. ⁹ For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong; this we also pray for,^h Lit your completionthat you be made complete. ¹⁰ For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.	5 Joh 6:6 Co1 11:28 Co1 9:27 9 Co2 12:10 Co2 13:4 Co1 1:10 Co2 13:11 Eph 4:12 Th1 3:10 10 Co2 2:3 Tit 1:13 Co1 5:4 Co2 10:8
