Berean Standard Bible
This is the third time I am coming to you. In
the mouth
of two or three witnesses shall
every
word
be
established
.
This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every
matter
must
be
established
by
the testimony
of two or three witnesses. ”
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 :
I already
warned
you the second time I
was
with
you.
So
now in
my
absence
I warn
those
who
sinned earlier
and everyone
else:
If I return
, I will not spare anyone,
Since ye
seek
a
proof of
Christ speaking in
me ,
which
to
you-ward
is not weak, but is mighty
in
you.
since you
are
demanding
proof that
Christ is
speaking through
me .
He
is not weak in
dealing
with
you
, but is powerful
among
you.
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 He was indeed
crucified in
weakness, yet He lives
by God’s
power. And
though
we are weak in Him, yet
by
God’s
power
we will
live with Him to
serve
you.
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
?
Examine yourselves to
see
whether you
are
in the faith; test
yourselves
. Can’t
you
see
for
yourselves
that Jesus Christ is in you —unless
you
actually
fail
the
test
?
But
I trust
that
ye
shall
know
that we are
not reprobates
.
And
I hope
you
will
realize
that we have
not failed
the
test
.
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
.
Now we
pray to God that you
will
not
do anything
wrong—
not that we will
appear to
have
stood
the
test
, but that you
will
do what
is right
, even
if
we appear
to
have
failed
.
For we can
do nothing
against the truth, but for the truth.
For we cannot
do anything
against the truth, but only
for the truth.
For
we
are
glad
, when we are weak ,
and
ye
are strong :
and
this
also
we
wish
, even
your perfection.
In
fact
, we
rejoice
when we are weak but
you
are strong, and
our
prayer
is
for
your perfection.
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
.
This
is
why
I write these things while
absent, so
that
when
I
am
present I will
not
need
to be
severe
in
my
use
of
the authority
that
the Lord gave
me for
building
you
up
, not for
tearing
you
down
.
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, brothers
, rejoice!
Aim
for
perfect harmony
, encourage
one
another
, be of one mind, live in peace .
And the God of love and peace will
be with you.
Greet one another with an
holy kiss.
Greet one another with a
holy kiss.
All the saints salute
you.
All the saints send
you greetings
.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion
of the Holy Ghost,
be with you
all .
Amen
.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship
of the Holy Spirit
be with all of
you
.
