2 Corinthians 13

1This will be the third time I am coming to you. 'By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.'

τριτον τουτο ερχομαι προς υμας· επι στοματος δυο μαρτυρων και τριων σταθησεται παν ρημα.

2I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare

προειρηκα και προλεγω, ως παρων το δευτερον, και απων νυν γραφω τοις προημαρτηκοσιν και τοις λοιποις πασιν, οτι εαν ελθω εις το παλιν ου φεισομαι,

3since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

επει δοκιμην ζητειτε του εν εμοι λαλουντος χριστου, ος εις υμας ουκ ασθενει, αλλα δυνατει εν υμιν.

4For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.

και γαρ ει εσταυρωθη εξ ασθενειας, αλλα ζη εκ δυναμεως θεου· και γαρ ημεις ασθενουμεν εν αυτω, αλλα ζησομεθα συν αυτω εκ δυναμεως θεου εις υμας.

5Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

εαυτους πειραζετε ει εστε εν τη πιστει, εαυτους δοκιμαζετε. η ουκ επιγινωσκετε εαυτους οτι ιησους χριστος εν υμιν εστιν; ει μη τι αδοκιμοι εστε.

6But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

ελπιζω δε οτι γνωσεσθε οτι ημεις ουκ εσμεν αδοκιμοι.

7Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified.

ευχομαι δε προς τον θεον μη ποιησαι υμας κακον μηδεν, ουχ ινα ημεις δοκιμοι φανωμεν, αλλ ινα υμεις το καλον ποιητε, ημεις δε ως αδοκιμοι ωμεν.

8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

ου γαρ δυναμεθα τι κατα της αληθειας, αλλ υπερ της αληθειας.

9For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.

χαιρομεν γαρ οταν ημεις ασθενωμεν, υμεις δε δυνατοι ητε· τουτο δε και ευχομεθα, την υμων καταρτισιν.

10Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.

δια τουτο ταυτα απων γραφω, ινα παρων μη αποτομως χρησωμαι κατα την εξουσιαν ην εδωκεν μοι ο κυριος εις οικοδομην και ουκ εις καθαιρεσιν.

11Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

λοιπον, αδελφοι, χαιρετε, καταρτιζεσθε, παρακαλεισθε, το αυτο φρονειτε, ειρηνευετε, και ο θεος της αγαπης και ειρηνης εσται μεθ υμων.

12Greet one another with a holy kiss.

ασπασασθε αλληλους εν αγιω φιληματι.

13All the saints greet you.

ασπαζονται υμας οι αγιοι παντες.

14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

η χαρις του κυριου ιησου χριστου και η αγαπη του θεου και η κοινωνια του αγιου πνευματος μετα παντων υμων· αμην.
