1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

2 Corinthians 13

1 He threateneth severity, and the power of his apostleship against obstinate sinners. 5 And advising them to a trial of their faith, 7 and to a reformation of their sins before his coming, 11 he concludeth his epistle with a general exhortation and a prayer.

 13:1 ¶ This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;

 13:2 I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,

 13:3 since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,

 13:4 for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.

 13:5 Your own selves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your own selves prove ye; do ye not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

 13:6 and I hope that ye shall know that we—we are not disapproved of;

 13:7 and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;

 13:8 for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;

 13:9 for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for—your perfection!

 13:10 because of this, these things—being absent—I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.

 13:11 Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

 13:12 salute one another in an holy kiss;

 13:13 salute you do all the saints;

 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.
