1This is the third time that I am coming to you. From the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be made certain.Select 2 Corinthians 13:1

2I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;Select 2 Corinthians 13:2

3Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:Select 2 Corinthians 13:3

4For he was feeble in that he was put to death on the cross, but he is living by the power of God. And we are feeble in him, but we will be living with him through the power of God in relation to you.Select 2 Corinthians 13:4

5Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?Select 2 Corinthians 13:5

6But it is my hope that you will have no doubt that we are truly Christ's.Select 2 Corinthians 13:6

7Now our prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that it may be put to our credit, but so that you may do what is right, whatever we may seem.Select 2 Corinthians 13:7

8Because we are able to do nothing against what is true, but only for it.Select 2 Corinthians 13:8

9For we are glad when we are feeble and you are strong: and this is our prayer, even that you may be made complete.Select 2 Corinthians 13:9

10For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.Select 2 Corinthians 13:10

11Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.Select 2 Corinthians 13:11

12Give one another a holy kiss.Select 2 Corinthians 13:12

13All the saints send their love to you.Select 2 Corinthians 13:13

14The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.Select 2 Corinthians 13:14
