2 Corintios 13
Lutherbibel 1545
1Wir freuen uns aber, wenn wir schwach sind, und ihr mächtig seid. Und dasselbige wünschen wir auch nämlich eure Vollkommenheit.
2Derhalben ich auch solches abwesend schreibe, auf daß ich nicht, wenn ich gegenwärtig bin, Schärfe brauchen müsse nach der Macht, welche mir der HERR, zu bessern und nicht zu verderben, gegeben hat.
3Zuletzt, liebe Brüder, freuet euch, seid vollkommen, tröstet euch, habt einerlei Sinn, seid friedsam, so wird Gott der Liebe und des Friedens mit euch sein.
4Grüßet euch untereinander mit dem heiligen Kuß.
5Es grüßen euch alle Heiligen.
6Die Gnade unsers HERRN Jesu Christi und die Liebe Gottes und die Gemeinschaft des Heiligen Geistes sei mit euch allen! Amen. «Die andere Epistel an die Korinther, gesandt von Philippi in Mazedonien, durch Titus und Lukas.»
7Paulus, ein Apostel (nicht von Menschen, auch nicht durch Menschen, sondern durch Jesum Christum und Gott den Vater, der ihn auferwecket hat von den Toten),
8und alle Brüder, die bei mir sind: Den Gemeinden in Galatien.
9Gnade sei mit euch und Friede von Gott dem Vater und unserm HERRN Jesu Christo,
10der sich selbst für unsere Sünden gegeben hat, daß er uns errettete von dieser gegenwärtigen argen Welt nach dem Willen Gottes und unsers Vaters,
11welchem sei Ehre von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit! Amen.
12Mich wundert, daß ihr euch so bald abwenden lasset von dem, der euch berufen hat in die Gnade Christi, auf ein ander Evangelium,
13so doch kein anderes ist; ohne daß etliche sind, die euch verwirren und wollen das Evangelium Christi verkehren.
14Aber so auch wir oder ein Engel vom Himmel euch würde Evangelium predigen anders, denn das wir euch geprediget haben, der sei verflucht!
Reina-Valera 1909
1ESTA tercera vez voy á vosotros. En la boca de dos ó de tres testigos consistirá todo negocio.
2He dicho antes, y ahora digo otra vez como presente, y ahora ausente lo escribo á los que antes pecaron, y á todos los demás, que si voy otra vez, no perdonaré;
3Pues buscáis una prueba de Cristo que habla en mí, el cual no es flaco para con vosotros, antes es poderoso en vosotros.
4Porque aunque fué crucificado por flaqueza, empero vive por potencia de Dios. Pues también nosotros somos flacos con él, mas viviremos con él por la potencia de Dios para con vosotros.
5Examinaos á vosotros mismos si estáis en fe; probaos á vosotros mismos. ¿No os conocéis á vosotros mismos, que Jesucristo está en vosotros? si ya no sois reprobados.
6Mas espero que conoceréis que nosotros no somos reprobados.
7Y oramos á Dios que ninguna cosa mala hagáis; no para que nosotros seamos hallados aprobados, mas para que vosotros hagáis lo que es bueno, aunque nosotros seamos como reprobados.
8Porque ninguna cosa podemos contra la verdad, sino por la verdad.
9Por lo cual nos gozamos que seamos nosotros flacos, y que vosotros estéis fuertes; y aun deseamos vuestra perfección.
10Por tanto os escribo esto ausente, por no tratar presente con dureza, conforme á la potestad que el Señor me ha dado para edificación, y no para destrucción.
11Resta, hermanos, que tengáis gozo, seáis perfectos, tengáis consolación, sintáis una misma cosa, tengáis paz; y el Dios de paz y de caridad será con vosotros.
12Saludaos los unos á los otros con ósculo santo. Todos los santos os saludan.
13La gracia del Señor Jesucristo, y el amor de Dios, y la participación del Espíritu Santo sea con vosotros todos. Amén. La segunda Epístola á los Corintios fué enviada de Filipos de Macedonia con Tito y Lucas.

King James Version
1This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2I 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:
3Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4For 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.
5Examine 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?
6But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7Now 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.
8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
10Therefore 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.
11Finally, 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.
12Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13All the saints salute you.
14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
World English Bible
1This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
2I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,
3seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.
4For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
5Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
6But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.
7Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.
8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.
10For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
11Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
12Greet one another with a holy kiss.
13All the saints greet you.
14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
