1This5124 is the third5154 time I am coming2064 to4314 you5209. In1909 the mouth4750 of two1417 or2532 three5140 witnesses3144 shall2476 every3956 word4487 be established2476.
2I told you before4280, and2532 foretell you4302, as if5613 I were present3918, the second1208 time; and2532 being absent548 now3568 I write1125 to them which heretofore have sinned4258, and2532 to all3956 other3062, that3754, if1437 I come2064 again1519 3825, I will5339 not3756 spare5339:
3Since1893 ye seek2212 a proof1382 of Christ5547 speaking2980 in1722 me1698, which3739 to1519 you-ward5209 is770 not3756 weak770, but235 is mighty1414 in1722 you5213.
4For1063 2532 though1487 he was crucified4717 through1537 weakness769, yet235 he liveth2198 by1537 the power1411 of God2316. For1063 we2249 also2532 are weak770 in1722 him846, but235 we shall live2198 with4862 him846 by1537 the power1411 of God2316 toward1519 you5209.
5Examine3985 yourselves1438, whether1487 ye be2075 in1722 the faith4102; prove1381 your own selves1438.2228 Know ye1921 not3756 your own selves1438, how that3754 Jesus2424 Christ5547 is2076 in1722 you5213, except1509 ye be2075 reprobates5100 96?
6But1161 I trust1679 that3754 ye shall know1097 that3754 we2249 are2070 not3756 reprobates96.
7Now1161 I pray2172 to4314 God2316 that ye5209 do3361 4160 no3367 evil2556; not3756 that2443 we2249 should appear5316 approved1384, but235 that2443 ye5210 should do4160 that which is honest2570, though1161 we2249 be5600 as5613 reprobates96.
8For1063 we can do1410 nothing3756 5100 against2596 the truth225, but235 for5228 the truth225.
9For1063 we2249 are glad5463, when3752 we are weak770, and1161 ye5210 are5600 strong1415: and1161 this5124 also2532 we wish2172, even your5216 perfection2676.
10Therefore5124 1223 I write1125 these things5023 being absent548, lest3363 being present3918 I should use5530 sharpness664, according2596 to the power1849 which3739 the Lord2962 hath given1325 me3427 to1519 edification3619, and2532 not3756 to1519 destruction2506.
11Finally3063, brethren80, farewell5463. Be perfect2675, be of good comfort3870, be of one846 mind5426, live in peace1514; and2532 the God2316 of love26 and2532 peace1515 shall be2071 with3326 you5216.
12Greet782 one another240 with1722 an holy40 kiss5370.
13All3956 the saints40 salute782 you5209.
14The grace5485 of the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547, and2532 the love26 of God2316, and2532 the communion2842 of the Holy40 Ghost4151, be with3326 you5216 all3956. Amen281. 1208 epistle to4314 the Corinthians2881 was written1125 from575 Philippi5375, a city of Macedonia3109, by1223 Titus5103 and2532 Lucas3065.
