2 Corinthians 13:1-4

Revised Geneva Translation

13 This is the third time that I come to you. In the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word stand.

²I told you before, and tell you now beforehand, as though I had been present a second time. So I write now - being absent from those who until now have sinned, and to all others - that if I come again, I will not spare anyone;

³since you seek proof of Christ speaking in me, Who is not weak toward you, but is mighty in you.

⁴For though He was crucified through His weakness, yet He lives through the power of God. And we, no doubt, are weak in Him. But we shall live with Him, through the power of God, toward you.
