13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”
13:2 I had said this to you from the first and again beforehand I am saying it, as also the second time when I was with you I said it to you; even now, as I am absent, I write to these who have sinned and to all the others, whom, if I come again, I shall not spare,
13:3 Because you seek a proof of The Messiah that he speaks in me, he who is not weak among you, but is mighty among you;
13:4 For although he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by the power of God; and we also are weak with him, but we are living with him by the power of God, who is in you.
13:5 Examine your souls, whether you stand in the faith. Tend to your souls, or are you not aware that Yeshua The Messiah is in you, and that if not, you are worthless?
13:6 But I hope that you will know that we are not worthless.
13:7 But I ask of God that nothing evil shall be in you, so that our proofs may appear, but that you would be doing good, and we may be as if worthless.
13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the cause of the truth.
13:9 But we rejoice whenever we are weak and you are strong; for we pray for this also, that you may be perfected.
13:10 Therefore, as I am absent I write these things, lest when I come, I deal severely according to the authority that my Lord gives to me for your building up, and not for your destruction.
13:11 From now on, my brethren, rejoice; be perfected and be comforted, and harmony and peace shall be in you, and The God of love and of peace shall be with you.
13:14 The Peace of our Lord Yeshua The Messiah, the Love of God and the Fellowship of The Spirit of Holiness, be with all of you. Amen.
