2 Corinthians Chapter 13 (NASB)
1 This is the third time that I am coming to you. ON THE [116]TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY MATTER SHALL BE CONFIRMED.
2 I have previously said when I was present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,
3 since you are seeking proof of the Christ who speaks in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.
4 For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we too are weak [117]in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.
5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you [118]fail the test?
6 But I expect that you will realize that we ourselves [119]do not fail the test.
7 Now we pray to God that you do nothing wrong; not so that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, though we may [120]appear unapproved.
8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
9 For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak, but you are strong; this we also pray for, [121]that you become mature.
10 For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
11 Finally, brothers and sisters, [122]rejoice, mend your ways, be comforted, be like-minded, 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 [123]saints greet you.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
