2 Corinthians 13:1-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Further Warning

13 This is the third time I am coming to you. ‘Any charge must be sustained by the evidence of two or three witnesses.’ ² I warned those who sinned previously and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again, I will not be lenient— ³ since you desire proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you. ⁴ For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we are weak in him,^[a] but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.
