¹ This third time, am I coming unto you: - at the mouth of two witnesses, or three, shall every matter be established.² I have said beforehand, and do say beforehand, - as present the second time, although now absent, unto them who before sinned, and unto all the rest, - that, if I come again, I will not spare.³ Since, a test, ye are seeking, of the speaking in me of Christ; - who, unto you, is not weak, but is powerful in you, - ⁴ For, although he was crucified through weakness, yet is he living through God's power, - for, although, we, are weak in him, yet shall we live with him, through God's power unto us- ⁵ Be trying, yourselves, whether ye are in the faith, be putting, yourselves, to the test! Or do ye not recognise yourselves, seeing that, Jesus Christ, is in you, - unless perhaps ye fail in the testing.⁶ I hope, however, that ye shall come to know, that, we, fail not in the testing!

⁷ But we pray unto God, that ye may do nothing base, - not that, we, may appear, accepted, but that, ye, the honourable thing, may be doing, even though, we, should be, as it were, rejected;⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth;⁹ For we rejoice - whensoever, we, are weak, and, ye, are, strong. This, also we pray for - your restoration: - ¹⁰ For this cause, these things, while absent, am I writing, that I may not, when present, deal sharply - according to the authority which, the Lord, hath given me, for building up and not for pulling down.

¹¹ Finally, brethren, farewell! Be getting restored, be taking encouragement, be of one mind, live in peace, - and, the God of love and peace, will be with you.¹² Salute ye one another with a holy kiss.¹³ All the saints, salute you.¹⁴ The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
