| 1 | This is the third time I am coming to you. "At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word established." | 2Co 12:14 |
| 2 | I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare; | 2Co 1:23 2Co 10:1 2Co 10:2 2Co 10:8-11 2Co 12:20 1Co 4:19-21 1Co 5:5 |
| 3 | seeing that you seek a proof of Christ that speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you. | 2Co 10:8-10 |
| 4 | For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you. | Lk 22:43 Lk 22:44 Jn 10:18 1Co 15:43 Php 2:7 Php 2:8 Heb 5:7 1Pe 3:18 |
| 5 | Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don`t you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless indeed you are reprobate. | Ps 17:3 Ps 26:2 Ps 119:59 Ps 139:23 Ps 139:24 Lam 3:40 Ezk 18:28 Hg 1:5 Hg 1:7 1Co 11:28 1Co 11:31 Ga 6:4 Heb 4:1 Heb 12:15 1Jn 3:20 1Jn 3:21 Rev 2:5 Rev 3:2 Rev 3:3 |
| 6 | But I hope that you will know that we aren`t reprobate. | 2Co 13:3 2Co 13:4 2Co 13:10 2Co 12:20 |
| 7 | Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate. | 2Co 13:9 1Ch 4:10 Mt 6:13 Jn 17:15 Php 1:9-11 1Th 5:23 2Ti 4:18 |
| 8 | For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. | 2Co 13:10 2Co 10:8 Nm 16:28-35 1Ki 22:28 2Ki 1:9-13 2Ki 2:23-25 Pr 21:30 Pr 26:2 Mk 9:39 Mk 16:17-19 Lk 9:49-56 Ac 4:28-30 Ac 5:1-11 Ac 13:3-12 Ac 19:11-17 1Co 5:4 1Co 5:5 1Ti 1:20 Heb 2:3 Heb 2:4 |
| 9 | For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. This we also pray for, even your perfecting. | 2Co 13:8 2Co 11:30 2Co 12:5-10 1Co 4:10 |
| 10 | For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down. | 2Co 2:3 2Co 10:2 2Co 12:20 2Co 12:21 1Co 4:21 |
| 11 | Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. | Lk 9:61 Ac 15:29 Ac 18:21 Ac 23:30 Php 4:4 1Th 5:16 |
| 12 | Greet one another with a holy kiss. | Ro 16:16 1Co 16:20 1Th 5:26 1Pe 5:14 |
