2 Corinthians 13 (WEBP)

[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.

2 Corinthians 13 (KJVS)

[1] This [is] the third [time] I am coming () to you . In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established ().
[2] I told you before (), and foretell you (), as if I were present (), the second time; and being absent () now I write () to them which heretofore have sinned (), and to all other , that , if I come () again , I will not spare ():
[3] Since ye seek () a proof of Christ speaking () in me , which to you-ward is not weak (), but is mighty () in you .
[4] For though he was crucified () through weakness , yet he liveth () by the power of God . For we also are weak () in him , but we shall live () with him by the power of God toward you .
[5] Examine () yourselves , whether ye be () in the faith ; prove () your own selves . Know ye () not your own selves , how that Jesus Christ is () in you , except ye be () reprobates ?
[6] But I trust () that ye shall know () that we are () not reprobates .
[7] Now I pray () to God that ye do () no evil ; not that we should appear () approved , but that ye should do () that which is honest , though we be () as reprobates .
[8] For we can do () nothing against the truth , but for the truth .
[9] For we are glad (), when we are weak (), and ye are () strong : and this also we wish (), [even] your perfection .
[10] Therefore I write () these things being absent (), lest being present () I should use () sharpness , according to the power which the Lord hath given () me to edification , and not to destruction .
[11] Finally , brethren , farewell (). Be perfect (), be of good comfort (), be of one mind (), live in peace (); and the God of love and peace shall be () with you .
[12] Greet () one another with an holy kiss .
[13] All the saints salute () you .
[14] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ , and the love of God , and the communion of the Holy Ghost , [be] with you all . Amen . «[The second [epistle] to the Corinthians was written () from Philippi , [a city] of Macedonia , by Titus and Lucas .]»

Young’s Literal Translation

2 Corinthians 13 (YLT)

[1] This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;
[2] I have said before, and I say it before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,
[3] since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,
[4] for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.
[5] Your own selves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your own selves prove ye; do ye not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?
[6] and I hope that ye shall know that we-we are not disapproved of;
[7] and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;
[8] for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;
[9] for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for-your perfection!
[10] because of this, these things-being absent-I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.
[11] Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;
[12] salute one another in an holy kiss;
[13] salute you do all the saints;
[14] the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen.
