13 这是我第三次要到你们那里去。“凭两三个人的口作见证,句句都要定准。” 我从前说过,如今不在你们那里又说,正如我第二次见你们的时候所说的一样,就是对那犯了罪的和其余的人说:“我若再来,必不宽容。” 你们既然寻求基督在我里面说话的凭据,我必不宽容。因为基督在你们身上不是软弱的,在你们里面是有大能的。 他因软弱被钉在十字架上,却因神的大能仍然活着。我们也是这样同他软弱,但因神向你们所显的大能,也必与他同活。

劝门徒自省

你们总要自己省察有信心没有,也要自己试验。岂不知你们若不是可弃绝的,就有耶稣基督在你们心里吗? 我却盼望你们晓得,我们不是可弃绝的人。 我们求神叫你们一件恶事都不做。这不是要显明我们是蒙悦纳的,是要你们行事端正;任凭人看我们是被弃绝的吧! 我们凡事不能敌挡真理,只能扶助真理。 即使我们软弱,你们刚强,我们也欢喜;并且我们所求的,就是你们做完全人。 10 所以,我不在你们那里的时候把这话写给你们,好叫我见你们的时候,不用照主所给我的权柄严厉地待你们。这权柄原是为造就人,并不是为败坏人。

劝勉

11 还有末了的话:愿弟兄们都喜乐!要做完全人,要受安慰,要同心合意,要彼此和睦,如此,仁爱和平的神必常与你们同在。 12 你们亲嘴问安,彼此务要圣洁。

13 众圣徒都问你们安。

祝福

14 愿主耶稣基督的恩惠、神的慈爱、圣灵的感动,常与你们众人同在!

13 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

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:

Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

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.

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?

But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

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.

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

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.

13 В третий уже раз иду к вам. При устах двух или трех свидетелей будет твердо всякое слово.

Я предварял и предваряю, как бы находясь [у вас] во второй раз, и теперь, отсутствуя, пишу прежде согрешившим и всем прочим, что, когда опять приду, не пощажу.

Вы ищете доказательства на то, Христос ли говорит во мне: Он не бессилен для вас, но силен в вас.

Ибо, хотя Он и распят в немощи, но жив силою Божиею; и мы также, [хотя] немощны в Нем, но будем живы с Ним силою Божиею в вас.

Испытывайте самих себя, в вере ли вы; самих себя исследывайте. Или вы не знаете самих себя, что Иисус Христос в вас? Разве только вы не то, чем должны быть.

О нас же, надеюсь, узнаете, что мы то, чем быть должны.

Молим Бога, чтобы вы не делали никакого зла, не для того, чтобы нам показаться, чем должны быть; но чтобы вы делали добро, хотя бы мы казались и не тем, чем должны быть.

Ибо мы не сильны против истины, но сильны за истину.

Мы радуемся, когда мы немощны, а вы сильны; о сем-то и молимся, о вашем совершенстве.

10 Для того я и пишу сие в отсутствии, чтобы в присутствии не употребить строгости по власти, данной мне Господом к созиданию, а не к разорению.

11 Впрочем, братия, радуйтесь, усовершайтесь, утешайтесь, будьте единомысленны, мирны, --и Бог любви и мира будет с вами.

12 Приветствуйте друг друга лобзанием святым.

13 (13-12) Приветствуют вас все святые.

14 (13-13) Благодать Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, и любовь Бога Отца, и общение Святаго Духа со всеми вами. Аминь.

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.” (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— since you seek a proof of Christ (F)speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty (G)in you. (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.

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

Paul Prefers Gentleness

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

Final Warnings

13 This will be my third visit to you.(A) “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”[a](B) I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent:(C) On my return I will not spare(D) those who sinned earlier(E) or any of the others, since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me.(F) He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you. For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness,(G) yet he lives by God’s power.(H) Likewise, we are weak(I) in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him(J) in our dealing with you.

Examine yourselves(K) to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.(L) Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you(M)—unless, of course, you fail the test? And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test. Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed. For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. We are glad whenever we are weak(N) but you are strong;(O) and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.(P) 10 This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh(Q) in my use of authority—the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.(R)

Final Greetings

11 Finally, brothers and sisters,(S) rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace.(T) And the God of love(U) and peace(V) will be with you.

12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.(W) 13 All God’s people here send their greetings.(X)

14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,(Y) and the love of God,(Z) and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit(AA) be with you all.
