2 CORINTIOS 13

1 Ésta es la tercera vez que voy a vosotros. Por boca de dos o de tres testigost se decidirá todo asunto. 2 He dicho antes, y ahora digo otra vez como si estuviera presente, y ahora ausente lo escribo a los que antes pecaron, y a todos los demás, que si voy otra vez, no seré indulgente; 3 pues buscáis una prueba de que habla Cristo en mí, el cual no es débil para con vosotros, sino que es poderoso en vosotros.

4 Porque aunque fue crucificado en debilidad, vive por el poder de Dios. Pues también nosotros somos débiles en él, pero viviremos con él por el poder de Dios para con vosotros.
5 Examinaos a vosotros mismos si estáis en la fe; probaos a vosotros mismos. ¿O no os conocéis a vosotros mismos, que Jesucristo está en vosotros, a menos que estéis reprobados? 6 Mas espero que conoceréis que nosotros no estamos reprobados. 7 Y oramos a Dios que ninguna cosa mala hagáis; no para que nosotros aparezcamos aprobados, sino para que vosotros hagáis lo bueno, aunque nosotros seamos como reprobados. 8 Porque nada podemos contra la verdad, sino por la verdad. 9 Por lo cual nos gozamos de que seamos nosotros débiles, y que vosotros estéis fuertes; y aun oramos por vuestra perfección.

10 Por esto os escribo estando ausente, para no usar de severidad cuando esté presente, conforme a la autoridad que el Señor me ha dado para edificación, y no para destrucción.

Saludos y doxología final

2 CORINTHIANS 13

Final Warnings and //Greetings

1  t I am on my way to visit you for the third time. And as the Scriptures say, “Any charges must be proved true by at least two or three witnesses.” 2 During my second visit I warned you that I would punish you and anyone else who doesn't stop sinning. I am far away from you now, but I give you the same warning. 3 This should prove to you that I am speaking for Christ. When he corrects you, he won't be weak. He will be powerful!

4 Although he was weak when he was nailed to the cross, he now lives by the power of God. We are weak, just as Christ was. But you will see that we will live by the power of God, just as Christ does.
5 Test yourselves and find out if you really are true to your faith. If you pass the test, you will discover that Christ is living in you. But if Christ isn't living in you, you have failed. 6 I hope you will discover we have not failed.

7 We pray you will stop doing evil things. We don't pray like this to make ourselves look good, but to get you to do right, even if we are failures.
8 All we can do is to follow the truth and not fight against it. 9 Even though we are weak, we are glad that you are strong, and we pray you will do even better.

10 I am writing these things to you before I arrive. This way I won't have to be hard on you when I use the authority the Lord has given me. I was given this authority, so I could help you and not destroy you.

11 Goodbye, my friends. Do better and pay attention to what I have said. Try to get along and live peacefully with each other.
Now I pray that God, who gives love and peace, will be with you.

12 Give each other a warm greeting. All God's people send their greetings.
13 I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will bless you and be kind to you! May God bless you with his love, and may the Holy Spirit join all your hearts together.
