| 13:1 | This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. |
| 13:2 | 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: |
| 13:3 | Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. |
| 13:4 | 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. |
| 13:5 | 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? |
| 13:6 | But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. |
| 13:7 | 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. |
| 13:8 | For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. |
| 13:9 | For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. |
| 13:9 | 即使我們軟弱、你們剛強、我們也歡喜．並且我們所求的、就是你們作完全人。 |
| 13:9 | 既使我们软弱，你们刚强，我们也欢喜。并且我们所求的，就是你们作完全人。 |
| 1co:4:10 | We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. |
| 2co:12:5 | Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. |
| 2co:12:9 | And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. |
| 2co:12:10 | Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. |
| 2co:13:11 | 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. |
| heb:6:1 | Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, |
| COBL | |
| 13:10 | 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. |
| 13:11 | 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. |
| 13:12 | Greet one another with an holy kiss. |
| 13:13 | All the saints salute you. |
| 13:14 | The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. |
