013:001
This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

013:002
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:

013:003
Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

013:004
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.

013:005
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?

013:006
But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

013:007
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.

013:008
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

013:009
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

013:010
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.

013:011
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.

013:012
Greet one another with an holy kiss.

013:013
All the saints salute you.

013:014
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
