1THIS IS the third time that I am coming to you. By the testimony of two or three witnesses must any charge {and} every accusing statement be sustained {and} confirmed.
2I have already warned those who sinned formerly and all the rest also, and I warn them now again while I am absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come back, I will not spare [them],
3Since you desire {and} seek [perceptible] proof of the Christ Who speaks in {and} through me. [For He] is not weak {and} feeble in dealing with you, but is a mighty power within you;
4For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He goes on living by the power of God. And though we too are weak in Him [as He was humanly weak], yet in dealing with you [we shall show ourselves] alive {and} strong in [fellowship with] Him by the power of God.
5Examine {and} test {and} evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith {and} showing the proper fruits of it. Test {and} prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize {and} know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you--unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial {and} rejected?
6But I hope you will recognize {and} know that we are not disapproved on trial {and} rejected.
7But I pray to God that you may do nothing wrong, not in order that we [our teaching] may appear to be approved, but that you may continue doing right, [though] we may seem to have failed {and} be unapproved.
8For we can do nothing against the Truth [not serve any party or personal interest], but only for the Truth [which is the Gospel].
9For we are glad when we are weak (unapproved) and you are really strong. And this we also pray for: your all-round strengthening {and} perfecting of soul.
10So I write these things while I am absent from you, that when I come to you, I may not have to deal sharply in my use of the authority which the Lord has given me [to be employed, however] for building [you] up and not for tearing [you] down.
11Finally, brethren, farewell (rejoice)! Be strengthened (perfected, completed, made what you ought to be); be encouraged {and} consoled {and} comforted; be of the same [agreeable] mind one with another; live in peace, and [then] the God of love [Who is the Source of affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence toward men] and the Author {and} Promoter of peace will be with you.
12Greet one another with a consecrated kiss.
13All the saints (the people of God here) salute you.
14The grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the presence {and} fellowship (the communion and sharing together, and participation) in the Holy Spirit be with you all. {Amen (so be it).}
