AFV2020 - II Corinthians - 13

13:1  This is the third time that I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter shall be established.

13:2  I have previously told you, and I am telling you in advance the second time, as though I were present; but since I am absent now, I am writing to those who have continued to sin until now—and to all the rest—that if I come again, I will not spare.

13:3  Since you seek a proof of Christ speaking through me (Who is not weak toward you, but is powerful in you;

13:4  For although He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God's power; and we are indeed weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by God's power toward you),

13:5  Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; prove your own selves. Don't you of your own selves know that Jesus Christ is in you? Otherwise, you are reprobates.

13:6  But I hope that you will recognize that we are not reprobates.

13:7  Now I am praying to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear to be approved, but that you may do what is right, even if we are regarded as reprobates.

13:8  For we do not have any power against the truth, but only for the truth.

13:9  And we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong; for we are also praying for this—even your perfection.

13:10  For this cause, I am writing these things to you while I am absent, in order that when I am present I may not treat you with severity, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.

13:11  In conclusion, brethren, rejoice! Be perfected; be encouraged; be of the same mind; be at peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

13:12  Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13:13  All the saints send salutations to you.

13:14  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
