Modern Literal Version
[2 Corinthians 13]
13:1 This will be the third time I am coming to you*. (Upon the mouth of two or three witnesses every word will be established.) {Deut. 19:15} 13:2 I have told you* beforehand and I do say againlike beforehand, being present the second time and so being absent now, I am writing to warnthose who have sinned before and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare them, 13:3since you* are seeking proof of Christ speaking in me; who is not weak toward you*, but is mighty in you*. 13:4 For* even if he was crucified out of weakness, but yet he is living out of thepower of God. For* we are also weak in him, but yet we will live with him out of the power of God toward you*. 13:5 Test yourselves, if you* are in the faith. Prove yourselves. Or do you* not fully know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you*? Lest you* are unapproved! 13:6 But I hope that you* will know that we are not unapproved. 13:7 Now I pray to God that you* do no evil; not that*we may appear proven, but that* you* may do what is good, but even if we may be as unapproved.13:8 For* we can do nothing against the truth, but can on behalf of the truth. 13:9 For* we rejoice, when we may be weak, but you* may be mighty. We are also praying for this: your* perfecting.13:10 Because of this, I am writing these things while being absent, that* I may not need to treatyou* sharply being present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me *for building up and not *for demolition.
13:11 Furthermore brethren, farewell. Be perfected; be comforted; be mindful of the same thing; be at peace and the God of love* and peace will be with you*. 13:12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. 13:13 All the holy-ones greet you*. 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love* of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you* all.
Amen.
