哥林多后书 13
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
劝勉和祝福
13 这是我第三次到你们那里去，各样事情必须凭两三个证人的口，才能确定。 2 我第二次到你们那里去的时候说过，现今不在你们那里，再预先对那些从前犯了罪的和其余的人说：我若再来，必不宽容， 3 因为你们在找基督借着我说话的凭据。基督对你们不是软弱的，相反地，在你们身上是有能力的。 4 他因着软弱被钉死了，却靠着 神的大能活着。我们在他里面也是软弱的，但靠着 神向你们所显的大能，也必与他一同活着。
5 你们应当察验自己是不是持守着信仰，也应当考验自己。难道不晓得基督耶稣是在你们里面吗？（除非你们是经不起考验的人。） 6 我盼望你们晓得，我们不是经不起考验的人。 7 我们祈求 神，使你们不作甚么恶事。这并不是要显明我们是经得起考验的，而是要你们行善；我们呢，就让我们作经不起考验的人好了！ 8 我们不能作甚么事违背真理，只能维护真理。 9 当我们软弱、你们刚强的时候，我们就欢喜；我们所求的，就是要你们完全。 10 因此，我趁着不在你们那里的时候，把这些话写给你们，到我来了，就不必凭着主所给我的权柄严厉地对待你们。这权柄不是要拆毁你们，而是要建立你们。
11 最后，弟兄们，你们要喜乐，要完全，要受安慰，要同心，要和睦。这样，施慈爱赐平安的 神必与你们同在。 12 你们要用圣洁的亲吻彼此问安。
13 众圣徒都问候你们。
14 愿主耶稣基督的恩惠， 神的慈爱，圣灵的契通，常与你们众人同在。

最后的警告
13 这是我第三次要去你们那里。圣经上说：“任何控告必须有两三个证人作证才能成立。” 2 我第二次去探望你们的时候已经警告过了，如今我虽然不在你们那里，但仍要再次警告那些犯罪的人以及其余的人：我再来的时候，必不宽容。 3 既然你们要我证明是基督借着我说话，那么你们当知道，基督处理你们这类的事绝不软弱，祂在你们当中充满力量。 4 不错，祂的软弱之躯曾被钉在十字架上，但如今祂靠上帝的大能活着。我们也跟祂一样软弱，但为了你们，我们要靠上帝的大能和祂一同活着。
5 你们要自我省察，看看自己是否真正信主，也要察验自己。除非你们经不起察验，否则，你们应该知道耶稣基督住在你们里面。 6 我希望你们会知道，我们是经得起考验的。 7 我们祈求上帝使你们一件恶事都不做，不是为了要显明我们经得起考验，而是要你们行事端正，就算我们经不起考验也无妨。 8 因为我们不能抵挡真理，只能拥护真理。 9 只要你们刚强，我们就是软弱也欢喜。我们为你们祈祷，盼望你们做纯全的人。 10 我写这封信是预先警告你们，免得我到你们当中的时候，必须运用基督给我的权柄严厉地对待你们。基督赐给我这权柄是为了造就人，不是毁坏人。
劝勉与祝福
11 最后，弟兄姊妹，我还有几句话要说：你们要喜乐，追求完善，接受劝勉，同心合意，和睦共处。这样，仁爱和平的上帝必常与你们同在。
12 你们要以圣洁的吻彼此问候。 13 全体圣徒都问候你们。
14 愿主耶稣基督的恩典、上帝的慈爱、圣灵的感动，常与你们众人同在！
2 Corinthians 13
King James Version
13 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth 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.
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13 All the saints salute you.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13
New King James Version
Coming with Authority
13 This will be (A)the third time I am coming to you. (B)“By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.” 2 (C)I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent [a]I write to those (D)who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again (E)I will not spare— 3 since you seek a proof of Christ (F)speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty (G)in you. 4 (H)For though He was crucified in weakness, yet (I)He lives by the power of God. For (J)we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.
5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, (K)that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you [b]are (L)disqualified. 6 But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.
Paul Prefers Gentleness
7 Now [c]I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though (M)we may seem disqualified. 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we are glad (N)when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, (O)that you may be made complete. 10 (P)Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the (Q)authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.
Greetings and Benediction
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. (R)Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love (S)and peace will be with you.
12 (T)Greet one another with a holy kiss.
13 All the saints greet you.
14 (U)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and (V)the [d]communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
