II Corinthians 13

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

Evo treći put idem k vama. Svaka presuda neka počiva na iskazu dvojice ili trojice svjedoka.

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:

Onima koji su prije sagriješili i svima drugima rekoh već i opet - kao onda drugi put nazočan, tako i sada nenazočan - unaprijed velim: ako opet dođem, neću štedjeti.

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

Jer vi tražite dokaz da u meni govori Krist koji prema vama nije nemoćan, nego je snažan među vama.

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.

I raspet bi, istina, po slabosti, ali živi po snazi Božjoj. I mi smo, istina, slabi u njemu, ali ćemo po snazi Božjoj živjeti s njime za vas.

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?

Same sebe ispitujte, jeste li u vjeri! Same sebe provjeravajte! Zar ne spoznajete sami sebe: da je Isus Krist u vama? Inače niste pravi.

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

A spoznat ćete, nadam se, da smo mi pravi.

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.

Molimo se Bogu da ne činite nikakva zla; ne da se mi pokažemo pravi, nego da vi dobro činite, pa izašli mi i kao nepravi.

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

Ta ništa ne možemo protiv istine, nego samo za istinu.

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

Da, radujemo se kad smo mi slabi, a vi jaki. Za to se i molimo, za vaše usavršavanje.

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.

To vam nenazočan pišem zato da nazočan ne bih morao oštro nastupiti vlašću koju mi Gospodin dade za izgrađivanje, a ne za rušenje.

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.

Uostalom, braćo, radujte se, usavršujte se, tješite se, složni budite, mir njegujte i Bog ljubavi i mira bit će s vama.

Greet one another with an holy kiss.

Pozdravite jedni druge svetim cjelovom. Pozdravljaju vas svi sveti.

All the saints salute you.

Milost Gospodina Isusa Krista, ljubav Boga i zajedništvo Duha Svetoga sa svima vama!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.
