2 Corinthians 13

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.	1 Behold, this is the third time that I am coming to you. By the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word shall stand.
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:	2 I have preached when present, and I will preach now while absent, to those who sinned before, and to all the others, because, when I arrive again, I will not be lenient with you.
3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.	3 Do you seek evidence that it is Christ who speaks in me, who is not weak with you, but is powerful with 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.	4 For although he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God. And yes, we are weak in him. But we shall live with him by the power of God among 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?	5 Test yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Or do you yourselves not know whether Christ Jesus is in you? But perhaps you are reprobates.
6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.	6 But I hope you know that we ourselves 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.	7 Now we pray to God that you shall do nothing evil, not so that we may seem to be approved, but so that you may do what is good, even if we seem like reprobates.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.	8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.	9 For we rejoice that we are weak, while you are strong. This is also what we pray for: 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.	10 Therefore, I write these things while absent, so that, when present, I may not have to act more harshly, according to the authority which the Lord has given to me, for edification and not for 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.	11 As to the rest, brothers, rejoice, be perfect, be encouraged, have the same mind, have peace. And so the God of peace and love will be with you.
12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.	12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.
13 All the saints salute you.	13 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
