| 1 | This will be the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.” |
|
Τρίτοντοῦτοέρχομαιπρὸςυμᾶς·επὶστόματοςδύομαρτύρωνκαὶτριῶνσταθήσεταιπᾶνρῆμα.
|
|
| 2 | I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare— |
|
προείρηκακαὶπρολέγωωςπαρὼντὸδεύτερονκαὶαπὼννῦντοῖςπροημαρτηκόσινκαὶτοῖςλοιποῖςπᾶσιν,ότιεὰνέλθωειςτὸπάλινουφείσομαι,
|
|
| 3 | since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you. |
|
επεὶδοκιμὴνζητεῖτετοῦενεμοὶλαλοῦντοςΧριστοῦ·ὸςειςυμᾶςουκασθενεῖαλλὰδυνατεῖενυμῖν.
|
|
| 4 | For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives 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. |
|
καὶγὰρεσταυρώθηεξασθενείας,αλλὰζῆεκδυνάμεωςθεοῦ.καὶγὰρημεῖςασθενοῦμενεναυτῶ,αλλὰζήσομενσὺναυτῶεκδυνάμεωςθεοῦειςυμᾶς.
|
|
| 5 | Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. |
|
Εαυτοὺςπειράζετεειεστὲεντῆπίστει,εαυτοὺςδοκιμάζετε·ὴουκεπιγινώσκετεεαυτοὺςότιΧριστὸςΙησοῦςενυμῖν;ειμήτιαδόκιμοίεστε.
|
|
| 6 | But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified. |
|
ελπίζωδὲότιγνώσεσθεότιημεῖςουκεσμὲναδόκιμοι.
|
|
| 7 | Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified. |
|
ευχόμεθαδὲπρὸςτὸνθεὸνμὴποιῆσαιυμᾶςκακὸνμηδέν,ουχίναημεῖςδόκιμοιφανῶμεν,αλλ᾿ίναυμεῖςτὸκαλὸνποιῆτε,ημεῖςδὲωςαδόκιμοιῶμεν.
|
|
| 8 | For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. |
|
ουγὰρδυνάμεθάτικατὰτῆςαληθείας,αλλὰυπὲρτῆςαληθείας.
|
|
| 9 | For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete. |
|
χαίρομενγὰρότανημεῖςασθενῶμεν,υμεῖςδὲδυνατοὶῆτε·τοῦτοκαὶευχόμεθα,τὴνυμῶνκατάρτισιν.
|
|
| 10 | Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction. |
|
διὰτοῦτοταῦτααπὼνγράφω,ίναπαρὼνμὴαποτόμωςχρήσωμαικατὰτὴνεξουσίανὴνοκύριοςέδωκένμοι,ειςοικοδομὴνκαὶουκειςκαθαίρεσιν.
|
|
| 11 | Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. |
|
Λοιπόν,αδελφοί,χαίρετε,καταρτίζεσθε,παρακαλεῖσθε,τὸαυτὸφρονεῖτε,ειρηνεύετε,καὶοθεὸςτῆςαγάπηςκαὶειρήνηςέσταιμεθ᾿υμῶν.
|
|
| 12 | Greet one another with a holy kiss. |
|
ασπάσασθεαλλήλουςεναγίωφιλήματι.ασπάζονταιυμᾶςοιάγιοιπάντες.
|
|
| 13 | All the saints greet you. |
|
ΗχάριςτοῦκυρίουΙησοῦΧριστοῦκαὶηαγάπητοῦθεοῦκαὶηκοινωνίατοῦαγίουπνεύματοςμετὰπάντωνυμῶν.
|
|
| 14 | The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. |
|
