2 Corinthians 13

¹LO this the third time I come unto you: In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word stand.

²I foretold and do foretell as present, and now absent, to them that sinned before, and all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare.

³Seek you an experiment of him that speaketh in me, Christ; who in you is not weak, but is mighty in you?

⁴For although he was crucified of infirmity; yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him: but we shall live with him by the power of God on you.

⁵Try your own selves if you be in the faith, prove ye yourselves. Know you not yourselves that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates.

⁶But I hope you know that we are not reprobates.

⁷And we pray God, that you do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and we be as reprobates.

⁸For we cannot any thing against the truth; but for the truth.

⁹For we rejoice, for that we are weak, and you are mighty. This also we pray for, your consummation.

¹⁰Therefore these things I write absent: that being present I may not deal hardly according to the power which our Lord hath given me unto edification and not unto destruction.

¹¹For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace & love shall be with you.

¹²Salute one another in a holy kiss. All the saints salute you.

¹³The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.
