Ad Corinthios II 13

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ecce tertio hoc venio ad vos : in ore duorum vel trium testium stabit omne verbum.	1 This third time I am coming to you. "On the testimony of two or three witnesses a fact shall be established."
2 Prædixi, et prædico, ut præsens, et nunc absens iis qui ante peccaverunt, et ceteris omnibus, quoniam si venero iterum, non parcam.	2 I warned those who sinned earlier and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not be lenient,
3 An experimentum quæritis ejus, qui in me loquitur Christus, qui in vobis non infirmatur, sed potens est in vobis ?	3 since you are looking for proof of Christ speaking in me. He is not weak toward you but powerful in you.
4 Nam etsi crucifixus est ex infirmitate : sed vivit ex virtute Dei. Nam et nos infirmi sumus in illo : sed vivemus cum eo ex virtute Dei in vobis.	4 For indeed he was crucified out of weakness, but he lives by the power of God. So also we are weak in him, but toward you we shall live with him by the power of God.
5 Vosmetipsos tentate si estis in fide : ipsi vos probate. An non cognoscitis vosmetipsos quia Christus Jesus in vobis est ? nisi forte reprobi estis.	5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless, of course, you fail the test.
6 Spero autem quod cognoscetis, quia nos non sumus reprobi.	6 I hope you will discover that we have not failed.
7 Oramus autem Deum ut nihil mali faciatis, non ut nos probati appareamus, sed ut vos quod bonum est faciatis : nos autem ut reprobi simus.	7 But we pray to God that you may not do evil, not that we may appear to have passed the test but that you may do what is right, even though we may seem to have failed.
8 Non enim possumus aliquid adversus veritatem, sed pro veritate.	8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
9 Gaudemus enim, quoniam nos infirmi sumus, vos autem potentes estis. Hoc et oramus, vestram consummationem.	9 For we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong. What we pray for is your improvement.
10 Ideo hæc absens scribo, ut non præsens durius agam secundum potestatem, quam Dominus dedit mihi in ædificationem, et non in destructionem.	10 I am writing this while I am away, so that when I come I may not have to be severe in virtue of the authority that the Lord has given me to build up and not to tear down.
11 De cetero, fratres, gaudete, perfecti estote, exhortamini, idem sapite, pacem habete, et Deus pacis et dilectionis erit vobiscum.	11 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
12 Salutate invicem in osculo sancto. Salutant vos omnes sancti.	12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the holy ones greet you.
13 Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et caritas Dei, et communicatio Sancti Spiritus sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.	13 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the holy Spirit be with all of you.
