2Corinthians 13

13This will be my third visit to you. "Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses."G5124G5154G2064G4314G5209G1909G4750G1417G2532G5140G3144G2476G3956G4487G24762I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others,G4280G2532G4302G5613G3918G1208G2532G548G3568G1125G4258G2532G3956G3062G3754G1437G2064G1519G3825G5339G3756G53393since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.G1893G2212G1382G5547G2980G1722G1698G3739G1519G5209G770G3756G770G235G1414G1722G52134For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with him in our dealing with you.G1063G2532G1487G4717G1537G769G235G2198G1537G1411G2316G1063G2249G2532G770G1722G846G235G2198G4862G846G1537G1411G2316G1519G52095Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?G3985G1438G1487G2075G1722G4102G1381G1438G2228G1921G3756G1438G3754G2424G5547G2076G1722G5213G1509G2075G5100G966And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test.G1161G1679G3754G1097G3754G2249G2070G3756G967Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong. Not that people will see that we have stood the test but that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed.G1161G2172G4314G2316G5209G3361G4160G3367G2556G3756G2443G2249G5316G1384G235G2443G5210G4160G2570G1161G2249G5600G5613G968For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.G1063G1410G3756G5100G2596G225G235G5228G2259We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.G1063G2249G5463G3752G770G1161G5210G5600G1415G1161G5124G2532G2172G5216G267610This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority—the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.G5124G1223G1125G5023G548G3363G3918G5530G664G2596G1849G3739G2962G1325G3427G1519G3619G2532G3756G1519G250611Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.G3063G80G5463G2675G3870G846G5426G1514G2532G2316G26G2532G1515G2071G3326G521612Greet one another with a holy kiss.G782G240G1722G40G537013All God's people here send their greetings.G3956G40G782G520914May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.G5485G2962G2424G5547G2532G26G2316G2532G2842G40G4151G3326G5216G3956G281
