1 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:

<>I told you before, and foretell you … the second time, <>I write, <>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.

<>he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God … we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God, <>yet he liveth, <>he liveth, <>the power of God … the power of God

5 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?

<>Examine yourselves, <>Examine, <>prove your own selves, <>prove, <>Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates

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

7 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.

<>do that which is honest

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

<>v. 8, <>we can do nothing against the truth, <>the truth … the truth

9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

<>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.

<>the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, <>which the Lord hath given, <>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.

<>farewell, <>be of good comfort, <>be of one mind, <>live in peace, <>peace … peace, <>the God of love, <>the God of … peace

12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.

<>an holy kiss

13 All the saints salute you.

<>v. 13, <>saints

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. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.

<>The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, <>grace
