1Lo this is the thirde time that I come vnto you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall euery worde stand 2I tolde you before, and tell you before: as though I had bene present the seconde time, so write I nowe being absent to them which heretofore haue sinned and to all others, that if I come againe, I will not spare, 3Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. 4For 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. 5Examine 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? 6But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. 7Now 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. 8For wee can not doe any thing against the trueth, but for the trueth. 9For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, [even] your perfection. 10Therefore write I these thinges being absent, least when I am present, I should vse sharpenesse, according to the power which the Lorde hath giuen mee, to edification, and not to destruction. 11Finally, 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. 12Greet one another with an holy kiss. 13{\cf2 (13:12)} All the Saintes salute you. 14{\cf2 (13:13)} The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, and the loue of God, and the communion of the holy Ghost be with you all, Amen.
