Chapter 13

1

 This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every matter be established. 

 


2

 I have declared beforehand, and I say beforehand as present the second time, and now absent, to those that have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare. 

 


3

 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, (who is not weak towards you, but is powerful among you, 

 


4

 for if indeed he has been crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power; for indeed we are weak in him, but we shall live with him by God's power towards you,) 

 


5

 examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates? 

 


6

 Now I hope that ye will know that we are not reprobates. 

 


7

 But we pray to God that ye may do nothing evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do what is right, and we be as reprobates. 

 


8

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

 


9

 For we rejoice when we may be weak and ye may be powerful. But this also we pray for, your perfecting. 

 


10

 On this account I write these things being absent, that being present I may not use severity according to the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for overthrowing. 

 


11

 For the rest, brethren, rejoice; be perfected; be encouraged; be of one mind; be at peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 

 


12

 Salute one another with a holy kiss. 

 


13

 All the saints salute you. 

 


14

 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, [be] with you all. 

 


Galatians 1
