13:1 This
is
the
third
time
I
am
coming
to
you.
Every
charge
must
be
established
by
the
evidence
of
two
or
three
witnesses.
13:2 I
warned
those
who
sinned
before
and
all
the
others,
and
I
warn
them
now
while
absent,
as
I
did
when
present
on
my
second
visit,
that
if
I
come
again
I
will
not
spare
them--
13:3 since
you
seek
proof
that
Christ
is
speaking
in
me.
He
is
not
weak
in
dealing
with
you,
but
is
powerful
among
you.
13:4 For
he
was
crucified
in
weakness,
but
lives
by
the
power
of
God.
For
we
also
are
weak
in
him,
but
in
dealing
with
you
we
will
live
with
him
by
the
power
of
God.
13:5 Examine
yourselves,
to
see
whether
you
are
in
the
faith.
Test
yourselves.
Or
do
you
not
realize
this
about
yourselves,
that
Jesus
Christ
is
in
you--unless
indeed
you
fail
to
meet
the
test!
13:6 I
hope
you
will
find
out
that
we
have
not
failed
the
test.
13:7 But
we
pray
to
God
that
you
may
not
do
wrong--not
that
we
may
appear
to
have
met
the
test,
but
that
you
may
do
what
is
right,
though
we
may
seem
to
have
failed.
13:8 For
we
cannot
do
anything
against
the
truth,
but
only
for
the
truth.
13:9 For
we
are
glad
when
we
are
weak
and
you
are
strong.
Your
restoration
is
what
we
pray
for.
13:10 For
this
reason
I
write
these
things
while
I
am
away
from
you,
that
when
I
come
I
may
not
have
to
be
severe
in
my
use
of
the
authority
that
the
Lord
has
given
me
for
building
up
and
not
for
tearing
down.
13:11 Finally,
brothers,
rejoice.
Aim
for
restoration,
comfort
one
another,
agree
with
one
another,
live
in
peace;
and
the
God
of
love
and
peace
will
be
with
you.
13:12 Greet
one
another
with
a
holy
kiss.
13:13 All
the
saints
greet
you.
13:14 The
grace
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
and
the
love
of
God
and
the
fellowship
of
the
Holy
Spirit
be
with
you
all.
