- 1. This is the third time I am comming to you: in the mouth of two or three witnesses shal euery word be established.
- 2. 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 haue sinned, and to all other, that if I come againe I will not spare:
- 3. Since ye seeke a proofe of Christ, speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weake, but is mightie in you.
- 4. For though hee was crucified through weaknesse, yet he liueth by the power of God: for wee also are weake in him, but wee shall liue with him by the power of God toward you.
- 5. Examine your selues, whether ye be in the faith: proue your owne selues. Know yee not your owne selues, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
- 6. But I trust that yee shall knowe that we are not reprobates.
- 7. Now I pray to God, that ye doe no euill, not that we should appeare approued, but that ye should doe that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
- 8. For wee can doe nothing against the trueth, but for the trueth.
- 9. For wee are glad when wee are weake, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, euen your perfection.
- 10. Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should vse sharpnesse, according to the power which the Lord hath giuen me to edification, and not to destruction.
- 11. Finally, brethren, farewell: Bee perfect, bee of good comfort, bee of one minde, liue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you.
- 12. Greet one another with an holy kisse.
- 13. All the Saints salute you.
- 14. The grace of the Lord Iesus Christ, and the loue of God, and the communion of the holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.The second Epistle to the Corinthians, was written from Philippos a citie of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.
