132 Corinthians 13

1This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”Select 2 Corinthians 13:1

2I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;Select 2 Corinthians 13:2

3seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.Select 2 Corinthians 13:3

4For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.Select 2 Corinthians 13:4

5Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.Select 2 Corinthians 13:5

6But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.Select 2 Corinthians 13:6

7Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.Select 2 Corinthians 13:7

8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.Select 2 Corinthians 13:8

9For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.Select 2 Corinthians 13:9

10For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.Select 2 Corinthians 13:10

11Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.Select 2 Corinthians 13:11

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

13All the saints greet you.Select 2 Corinthians 13:13

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