1. This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;
|
1. This G5124 is the third time G5154 I am coming G2064 to G4314 you G5209 . In G1909 the mouth G4750 of two G1417 or G2532 three G5140 witnesses G3144 shall every G3956 word G4487 be established G2476 .
|
|
2. 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,
|
2. I told you before G4280 , and G2532 foretell G4302 you , as if G5613 I were present G3918 , the G3588 second time G1208 ; and G2532 being absent G548 now G3568 I write G1125 to them which heretofore have sinned G4258 , and G2532 to all G3956 other G3062 , that G3754 , if G1437 I come G2064 again G3825 , I will not G3756 spare G5339 :
|
|
3. since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,
|
3. Since G1893 ye seek G2212 a proof G1382 of Christ G5547 speaking G2980 in G1722 me G1698 , which G3739 to G1519 you G5209 -ward is not weak G770 G3756 , but G235 is mighty G1414 in G1722 you G5213 .
|
|
4. 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.
|
4. For G1063 though G2532 G1487 he was crucified G4717 through G1537 weakness G769 , yet G235 he liveth G2198 by G1537 the power G1411 of God G2316 . For G1063 we G2249 also G2532 are weak G770 in G1722 him G846 , but G235 we shall live G2198 with G4862 him G846 by G1537 the power G1411 of God G2316 toward G1519 you G5209 .
|
|
5. 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?
|
5. Examine G3985 yourselves G1438 , whether G1487 ye be G2075 in G1722 the G3588 faith G4102 ; prove G1381 your own selves G1438 G2228 . Know G1921 ye not G3756 your own selves G1438 G2228 , how that G3754 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 is G2076 in G1722 you G5213 , except G1509 ye be G2075 reprobates G96 ?
|
|
6. and I hope that ye shall know that we -- we are not disapproved of;
|
6. But G1161 I trust G1679 that G3754 ye shall know G1097 that G3754 we G2249 are G2070 not G3756 reprobates G96 .
|
|
7. 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;
|
7. Now G1161 I pray G2172 to G4314 God G2316 that ye G5209 G3361 do G4160 no G3367 evil G2556 ; not G3756 that G2443 we G2249 should appear G5316 approved G1384 , but G235 that G2443 ye G5210 should do G4160 that which is honest G2570 , though G1161 we G2249 be G5600 as G5613 reprobates G96 .
|
|
8. for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;
|
8. For G1063 we can do G1410 nothing G5100 G3756 against G2596 the G3588 truth G225 , but G235 for G5228 the G3588 truth G225 .
|
|
9. for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for -- your perfection!
|
9. For G1063 we are glad G5463 , when G3752 we G2249 are weak G770 , and G1161 ye G5210 are G5600 strong G1415 : and G1161 this G5124 also G2532 we wish G2172 , even your G5216 perfection G2676 .
|
|
10. 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.
|
10. Therefore G1223 G5124 I write G1125 these things G5023 being absent G548 , lest G3363 being present G3918 I should use G5530 sharpness G664 , according G2596 to the G3588 power G1849 which G3739 the G3588 Lord G2962 hath given G1325 me G3427 to G1519 edification G3619 , and G2532 not G3756 to G1519 destruction G2506 .
|
|
11. 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;
|
11. Finally G3063 , brethren G80 , farewell G5463 . Be perfect G2675 , be of good comfort G3870 , be of one mind G5426 G846 , live in peace G1514 ; and G2532 the G3588 God G2316 of love G26 and G2532 peace G1515 shall be G2071 with G3326 you G5216 .
|
|
12. salute one another in an holy kiss;
|
12. Greet G782 one another G240 with G1722 a holy G40 kiss G5370 .
|
|
13. salute you do all the saints;
|
13. All G3956 the G3588 saints G40 salute G782 you G5209 .
|
|
14. the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen.
|
14. The G3588 grace G5485 of the G3588 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , and G2532 the G3588 love G26 of God G2316 , and G2532 the G3588 communion G2842 of the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 , be with G3326 you G5216 all G3956 . Amen G281 .
