Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
This is
the
third time I am
coming
to
you .
“Every
matter
must
be
established
by
the testimony
of two or three witnesses.”
This third time do
I come
unto
you ;
on
the mouth
of two witnesses
or three shall
every
saying
be
established;
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
,
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,
since you
are
demanding
proof that
Christ is
speaking through
me .
He
is not weak
in
dealing
with
you
, but is powerful among
you .
since a
proof ye
seek
of
the
Christ speaking in
me ,
who
to
you
is not infirm
, but is powerful in
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.
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.
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
?
Your
ownselves
try
ye,
if
ye
are in the faith; your
ownselves
prove
ye;
do
ye
not
know
your
ownselves,
that Jesus Christ is in you ,
if
ye
be
not
in
some
respect
disapproved
of
?
And I hope you
will
realize
that we have
not failed
the
test.
and I hope that ye
shall
know
that
we --
we
are
not disapproved
of;
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.
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;
For we cannot
do anything against the truth, but only
for the truth .
for we are
not
able
to
do anything against the truth, but for the truth ;
In
fact,
we rejoice when we are
weak
but
you
are
strong
, and our
prayer
is
for your perfection .
for
we rejoice when we may
be
infirm
, and ye
may
be
powerful;
and
this
also
we
pray
for --
your perfection !
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.
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.
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 .
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 ;
Greet
one another with
a
holy kiss .
salute
one another in
an
holy kiss ;
All the saints send
you
greetings.
salute
you
do
all the saints ;
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be
with all
of
you.
the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit ,
`is'
with you all!
Amen
.
