2 Corinthians 13 – Bible | Equip God’s People

World English Bible Classic

^[1] This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”^† ^[2] I have warned previously, and I warn again, 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, ^[3] seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you. ^[4] For 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. ^[5] Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. ^[6] But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified. ^[7] Now 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 may seem to have failed. ^[8] For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. ^[9] For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect. ^[10] For 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. ^[11] Finally, 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. ^[12] Greet one another with a holy kiss. ^[13] All the saints greet you. ^[14] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

^[1] ThisG5124 [is] the thirdG5154 [time] I am comingG2064(PresMidPasDepInd) toG4314 you.G5209 InG1909 the mouthG4750 of twoG1417 orG2532 threeG5140 witnessesG3144 shallG2476 everyG3956 wordG4487 be established.G2476(FutPasInd) ^[2] I told you before,G4280(PerfActInd) andG2532 foretell you,G4302(PresActInd) as ifG5613 I were present,G3918(PresPtc) the secondG1208 time; andG2532 being absentG548(PresPtc) nowG3568 I writeG1125(PresActInd) to them which heretofore have sinned,G4258(PerfActPtc) andG2532 to allG3956 other,G3062 that,G3754 ifG1437 I comeG2064(Aor2ActSubj) again,G1519 I willG5339 notG3756 spare:G5339(FutMidDepInd) ^[3] SinceG1893 ye seekG2212(PresActInd) a proofG1382 of ChristG5547 speakingG2980(PresActPtc) inG1722 me,G1698 whichG3739 toG1519 you-wardG5209 isG770 notG3756 weak,G770(PresActInd) butG235 is mightyG1414(PresActInd) inG1722 you.G5213 ^[4] ForG1063 thoughG1487 he was crucifiedG4717(AorPasInd) throughG1537 weakness,G769 yetG235 he livethG2198(PresActInd) byG1537 the powerG1411 of God.G2316 ForG1063 weG2249 alsoG2532 are weakG770(PresActInd) inG1722 him,G846 butG235 we shall liveG2198(FutMidDepInd) withG4862 himG846 byG1537 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 towardG1519 you.G5209 ^[5] ExamineG3985(PresActImpr) yourselves,G1438 whetherG1487 ye beG2075(PresInd) inG1722 the faith;G4102 proveG1381(PresActImpr) your own selves.G1438 Know yeG1921(PresActInd) notG3756 your own selves,G1438 how thatG3754 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 isG2076(PresInd) inG1722 you,G5213 exceptG1509 ye beG2075(PresInd) reprobates?G5100 ^[6] ButG1161 I trustG1679(PresActInd) thatG3754 ye shall knowG1097(FutMidDepInd) thatG3754 weG2249 areG2070(PresInd) notG3756 reprobates.G96 ^[7] NowG1161 I prayG2172(PresMidPasDepInd) toG4314 GodG2316 that yeG5209 doG3361 noG3367 evil;G2556 notG3756 thatG2443 weG2249 should appearG5316(Aor2PasSubj) approved,G1384 butG235 thatG2443 yeG5210 should doG4160(PresActSubj) that which is honest,G2570 thoughG1161 weG2249 beG5600(PresSubj) asG5613 reprobates.G96 ^[8] ForG1063 we can doG1410(PresMidPasDepInd) nothingG3756 againstG2596 the truth,G225 butG235 forG5228 the truth.G225 ^[9] ForG1063 weG2249 are glad,G5463(PresActInd) whenG3752 we are weak,G770(PresActSubj) andG1161 yeG5210 areG5600(PresSubj) strong:G1415 andG1161 thisG5124 alsoG2532 we wish,G2172(PresMidPasDepInd) [even] yourG5216 perfection.G2676 ^[10] ThereforeG5124 I writeG1125(PresActInd) these thingsG5023 being absent,G548(PresPtc) lestG3363 being presentG3918(PresPtc) I should useG5530(AorMidDepSubj) sharpness,G664 accordingG2596 to the powerG1849 whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath givenG1325(AorActInd) meG3427 toG1519 edification,G3619 andG2532 notG3756 toG1519 destruction.G2506 ^[11] Finally,G3063 brethren,G80 farewell.G5463(PresActImpr) Be perfect,G2675(PresPasImpr) be of good comfort,G3870(PresPasImpr) be of oneG846 mind,G5426(PresActImpr) live in peace;G1514(PresActImpr) andG2532 the GodG2316 of loveG26 andG2532 peaceG1515 shall beG2071(FutInd) withG3326 you.G5216 ^[12] GreetG782(AorMidDepImpr) one anotherG240 withG1722 an holyG40 kiss.G5370 ^[13] AllG3956 the saintsG40 saluteG782(PresMidPasDepInd) you.G5209 ^[14] The graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 andG2532 the loveG26 of God,G2316 andG2532 the communionG2842 of the HolyG40 Ghost,G4151 [be] withG3326 youG5216 all.G3956 Amen.G281 «[The secondG1208 [epistle] toG4314 the CorinthiansG2881 was writtenG1125(Aor2PasDepSubj) fromG575 Philippi,G5375 [a city] of Macedonia,G3109 byG1223 TitusG5103 andG2532 Lucas.G3065]»
