This{G5124} is the third{G5154} time I am coming{G2064} to{G4314} you.{G5209} At{G1909} the mouth{G4750} of two{G1417} witnesses{G3144} or{G2532} three{G5140} shall{G2476} every{G3956} word{G4487} be established.{G2476}

I have said beforehand,{G4280} and{G2532} I do say beforehand,{G4302} as when{G5613} I was present{G3918} the second time,{G1208} so{G2532} now,{G3568} being absent,{G548} to them{G3588} that have sinned{G4258} heretofore, and{G2532} to all{G3956} the rest,{G3062} that,{G3754} if{G1437} I{G1519} come{G2064} {G1519} again,{G3825} I will{G5339} not{G3756} spare;{G5339}

seeing{G1893} that ye seek{G2212} a proof{G1382} of Christ{G5547} that speaketh{G2980} in{G1722} me;{G1698} who{G3739} to{G1519} you-ward{G5209} is{G770} not{G3756} weak,{G770} but{G235} is powerful{G1414} in{G1722} you:{G5213}

for{G1063} {G2532} he was crucified{G4717} through{G1537} weakness,{G769} yet{G235} he liveth{G2198} through{G1537} the power{G1411} of God.{G2316} For{G1063} we also{G2249} are weak{G770} in{G846} him,{G235} but{G2198} we shall live{G4862} with{G846} him{G1537} through{G1411} the power{G2316} of God{G1519} toward{G5209} you.{G1722}

Try{G3985} your own selves,{G1438} whether{G1487} ye are{G2075} in{G1722} the faith;{G4102} prove{G1381} your own selves.{G1438} Or know{G1921} ye not{G3756} as to your own selves,{G1438} that{G3754} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} is{G2076} in{G1722} you?{G5213} unless{G1509} indeed ye be{G2075} {G5100} reprobate.{G96}

But{G1161} I hope{G1679} that{G3754} ye shall know{G1097} that{G3754} we{G2249} are{G2070} not{G3756} reprobate.{G96}

Now{G1161} we pray{G2172} to{G4314} God{G2316} that{G4160} ye{G5209} {G3361} do{G4160} no{G3367} evil;{G2556} not{G3756} that{G2443} we{G2249} may appear{G5316} approved,{G1384} but{G235} that{G2443} ye{G5210} may do{G4160} that which{G3588} is honorable,{G2570} though{G1161} we{G2249} be{G5600} as{G5613} reprobate.{G96}

For{G1063} we can do{G1410} {G5100} nothing{G3756} against{G2596} the truth,{G225} but{G235} for{G5228} the truth.{G225}

For{G1063} we{G2249} rejoice,{G5463} when{G3752} we are weak,{G770} and{G1161} ye{G5210} are{G5600} strong:{G1415} {G1161} this{G5124} we also{G2532} pray{G2172} for, even your{G5216} perfecting.{G2676}

For{G1223} this{G5124} cause I{G5124} write{G1125} these things{G5023} while{G2443} absent,{G548} that{G3361} I may not when present{G3918} deal{G5530} sharply,{G664} according{G2596} to the authority{G1849} which{G3739} the Lord{G2962} gave{G1325} me{G3427} for building{G3619} up, and{G2532} not{G3756} for{G1519} casting down.{G2506}

Finally,{G3063} brethren,{G80} farewell.{G5463} Be perfected;{G2675} be comforted;{G3870} be{G5426} of the same{G846} mind;{G5426} live in peace:{G1514} and{G2532} the God{G2316} of love{G26} and{G2532} peace{G1515} shall be{G2071} with{G3326} you.{G5216}

Salute{G782} one another{G240} with{G1722} a holy{G40} kiss.{G5370}

All{G3956} the saints{G40} salute{G782} you.{G5209}

The grace{G5485} of the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ,{G5547} and{G2532} the love{G26} of God,{G2316} and{G2532} the communion{G2842} of the Holy{G40} Spirit,{G4151} be with{G3326} you{G5216} all.{G3956}
