2 Corinthians 13:1-4
Wycliffe Bible
13 Lo! this third time I come to you, and in the mouth of two or of three witnesses [and in the mouth of two or three witnesses] every word shall stand.
2 I said before, and [I] say before, as present twice, and now absent, to them that before have sinned, and to all others; for if I come again, I shall not spare.
3 Whether ye seek the proof of that Christ, that speaketh in me, which is not feeble in you, [but is mighty in you]?[a]
4 For though he was crucified of infirmity, but he liveth of the virtue of God. For also we be frail in him [For why and we be sick in him], but we shall live with him of the virtue of God in us.

2 Corinthians 13:1-4
New Matthew Bible
He promises to come to them, and he exhorts them to get themselves in order so that he may find them perfect and in harmony.
13 Now I am coming the third time to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall everything be established. 2 I told you before and I am warning you now, and as I said when I was present with you the second time, so I write now, being absent, to those who in time past have sinned and to all others: if I come again, I will not spare, 3 seeing that you seek proof of Christ who speaks in me – who among you is not weak, but is mighty in you. 4 And indeed, though it came of weakness that he was crucified, yet he lives through the power of God. And we no doubt are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the might of God among you.

2 Corinthians 13:1-4
Authorized (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.
