Dual Panel1This<3778> is the third<5154> time<5154> I am coming<2064> to you. EVERY<3956> FACT<4487> IS TO BE CONFIRMED<2476> BY THE TESTIMONY<4750> OF TWO<1417> OR<2532> THREE<5140> WITNESSES<3144>.
2I have previously<4275> said<4275> when<5613> present<3918> the second<1208> time<1208>, and though now<3568> absent<548> I say<4302> in advance<4302> to those<3588> who have sinned<4258> in the past<4258> and to all<3956> the rest<3062> as well, that if<1437> I come<2064> again<3825> I will not spare<5339> anyone,
3since<1893> you are seeking<2212> for proof<1382> of the Christ<5547> who speaks<2980> in me, and who<3739> is not weak<770> toward<1519> you, but mighty<1414> in you.
4For indeed<2532> He was crucified<4717> because<1537> of weakness<769>, yet<235> He lives<2198> because<1537> of the power<1411> of God<2316>. For we also<2532> are weak<770> in Him, yet<235> we will live<2198> with Him because<1537> of the power<1411> of God<2316> directed toward<1519> you.
5Test<3985> yourselves<1438> to see if<1487> you are in the faith<4102>; examine<1381> yourselves<1438>! Or<2228> do you not recognize<1921> this about yourselves<1438>, that Jesus<2424> Christ<5547> is in you--unless<1487><3385> indeed you fail<96> the test<96>?
6But I trust<1679> that you will realize<1097> that we ourselves<1473> do<1510> not fail<96> the test<96>.
7Now<1161> we pray<2172> to God<2316> that you do<4160> no<3361> wrong<2556>; not that we ourselves<1473> may appear<5316> approved<1384>, but that you may do<4160> what<2570> is right<2570>, even<1161> though<5613> we may appear<1510><5613> unapproved<96>.
8For we can<1410> do nothing<3756><5100> against<2596> the truth<225>, but only for the truth<225>.
9For we rejoice<5463> when<3752> we ourselves<1473> are weak<770> but you are strong<1415>; this<3778> we also<2532> pray<2172> for, that you be made<2676> complete<2676>.
10For this<3778> reason<1223> I am writing<1125> these<3778> things<3778> while absent<548>, so<2443> that when present<3918> I need not use<5530> severity<664>, in accordance<2596> with the authority<1849> which<3739> the Lord<2962> gave<1325> me for building<3619> up and not for tearing<2506> down<2506>.
11Finally<3062>, brethren<80>, rejoice<5463>, be made<2675> complete<2675>, be comforted<3870>, be like-minded<846>, live<1514> in peace<1514>; and the God<2316> of love<26> and peace<1515> will be with you.
12Greet<782> one<240> another<240> with a holy<40> kiss<5370>.
13All<3956> the saints<40> greet<782> you.
14The grace<5485> of the Lord<2962> Jesus<2424> Christ<5547>, and the love<26> of God<2316>, and the fellowship<2842> of the Holy<40> Spirit<4151>, be with you all<3956>.
