Young's Literal Translation
2 Corinthians 13
Reading view
1This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;
2I 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,
3since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,
4for 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.
5Your 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?
7and 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;
9for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for -- your perfection!
10because 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.
