[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] This G5124 is the third G5154 time I am coming G2064 to G4314 you. G5209 In G1909 the mouth G4750 of two G1417 or G2532 three G5140 witnesses G3144 shall G2476 every G3956 word G4487 be established. G2476 [2] I told G4280 you before, G4280 and G2532 foretell G4302 you, as if G5613 I were present, G3918 the G3588 second G1208 time; G1208 and G2532 being absent G548 now G3568 I write G1125 to them G3588 which heretofore have sinned, G4258 and G2532 to all G3956 other, G3062 that, G3754 if G1437 I come G2064 again, G1519 G3825 I will G5339 not G3756 spare: G5339 [3] since G1893 ye seek G2212 a proof G1382 of Christ G5547 speaking G2980 in G1722 me, G1698 which G3739 to G1519 you-ward G5209 is G770 not G3756 weak, G770 but G235 is mighty G1414 in G1722 you. G5213 [4] For G1063 though G1487 he was crucified G4717 through G1537 weakness, G769 yet G235 he liveth G2198 by G1537 the power G1411 of God. G2316 For G1063 we G2249 also G2532 are weak G770 in G1722 him, G846§ but G235 we shall live G2198 with G4862 him G846 by G1537 the power G1411 of God G2316 toward G1519 you. G5209 [5] Examine G3985 yourselves, G1438 whether G1487 ye be G2075 in G1722 the G3588 faith; G4102 prove G1381 your own selves. G1438 G2228 Know ye G1921 not G3756 your own selves, G1438 how that G3754 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 is G2076 in G1722 you, G5213 except G1487 G3361 G5100 ye be G2075 reprobates? G96 [6] But G1161 I trust G1679 that G3754 ye shall know G1097 that G3754 we G2249 are G2070 not G3756 reprobates. G96 [7] Now G1161 I pray G2172 to G4314 God G2316 G3361 that ye G5209 do G4160 no G3367 evil; G2556 not G3756 that G2443 we G2249 should appear G5316 approved, G1384 but G235 that G2443 ye G5210 should do G4160 that which G3588 is honest, G2570 though G1161 we G2249 be G5600 as G5613 reprobates. G96 [8] For G1063 we can G1410 do nothing G3756 G5100 against G2596 the G3588 truth, G225 but G235 for G5228 the G3588 truth. G225 [9] For G1063 we are glad, G5463 when G3752 we G2249 are weak, G770 and G1161 ye G5210 are G5600 strong: G1415 and G1161 this G5124 also G2532 we wish, G2172 even your G5216 perfection. G2676 [10] Therefore G1223 G5124 I write G1125 these things G5023 being absent, G548 lest G2443 G3361 being present G3918 I should use G5530 sharpness, G664 according to G2596 the G3588 power G1849 which G3739 the G3588 Lord G2962 hath given G1325 me G3427 to G1519 edification, G3619 and G2532 not G3756 to G1519 destruction. G2506 [11] Finally, G3063 brethren, G80 farewell. G5463 Be perfect, G2675 be of good comfort, G3870 be of G5426 one G846 mind, G5426 live in peace; G1514 and G2532 the G3588 God G2316 of love G26 and G2532 peace G1515 shall be G2071 with G3326 you. G5216 [12] Greet G782 one another G240 with G1722 an holy G40 kiss. G5370 [13] All G3956 the G3588 saints G40 salute G782 you. G5209 [14] The G3588 grace G5485 of the G3588 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and G2532 the G3588 love G26 of God, G2316 and G2532 the G3588 communion G2842 of the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 be with G3326 you G5216 all. G3956 Amen. G281
The second G1208 epistle to G4314 the Corinthians G2881 was written G1125 from G575 Philippi, G5375 a city of Macedonia, G3109 by G1223 Titus G5103 and G2532 Lucas. G3065

[1] Τρίτον G5154 τοῦτο G5124 ἔρχομαι G2064 πρὸς G4314 ὑμᾶς. G5209 Ἐπὶ G1909 στόματος G4750 δύο G1417 μαρτύρων G3144 καὶ G2532 τριῶν G5140 σταθήσεται G2476 πᾶν G3956 ῥῆμα.

G1381 Ἢ G2228 οὐκ G3756 ἐπιγινώσκετε G1921 ἑαυτούς, G1438 ὅτι G3754 ‡Ἰησοῦς G2424 χριστὸς G5547 ἐν G1722 ὑμῖν G5213 ‡ἐστίν; G2076 Εἰ G1487 μήτι G3385 ἀδόκιμοί G96 ἐστε.
