| 2nd-Corinthians 13:1 | This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. | This intended visit of mine is my third visit to you. "On the evidence of two or three witnesses every charge shall be sustained." |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:2 | I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: | Those who cling to their old sins, and indeed all of you, I have forewarned and still forewarn (as I did on my second visit when present, so I do now, though absent) that, when I come again, I shall not spare you; |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:3 | Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. | since you want a practical proof of the fact that Christ speaks by my lips He who is not feeble towards you, but powerful among you. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:4 | For though he was crucified through weakness, 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 toward you. | For though it is true that He was crucified through weakness, yet He now lives through the power of God. We also are weak, sharing His weakness, but with Him we shall be full of life to deal with you through the power of God. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:5 | Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? | Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put your own selves under examination. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you, unless you are insincere? |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:6 | But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. | But I trust that you will recognize that we are not insincere. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:7 | Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. | And our prayer to God is that you may do nothing wrong; not in order that our sincerity may be demonstrated, but that you may do what is right, even though our sincerity may seem to be doubtful. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:8 | For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. | For we have no power against the truth, but only for the furtherance of the truth; |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:9 | For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. | and it is a joy to us when we are powerless, but you are strong. This we also pray for the perfecting of your characters. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:10 | Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. | For this reason I write thus while absent, that when present I may not have to act severely in the exercise of the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for pulling down. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:11 | Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. | Finally, brethren, be joyful, secure perfection of character, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace. And then God who gives love and peace will be with you. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:12 | Greet one another with an holy kiss. | Salute one another with a holy kiss. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:13 | All the saints salute you. | All God's people here send greetings to you. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 13:14 | The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. | May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. |
