2nd Corinthians — 13
The Final Advice of Shaul
1 This is the third time I am coming to visit you and as the Scriptures say, “The facts of every case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses”.
2 I have already warned those who had continued sin when I was there on my second visit. Now I again warn them and all others, just as I did before, that next time I will not spare them.
3 I will give you all the proof you want that Ha'Mashyach speaks through me. Ha'Mashyach is not weak when he deals with you; he is powerful among you.
4 Although Ha'Mashyach was impaled in weakness, Ha'Mashyach now lives by the power of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. We, too, are weak, just as Ha'Mashyach was, but when we deal with you we will be alive with Ha'Mashyach and will have the power of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
5 Examine yourselves to see if your Amunah is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine Amunah.
6 As you test yourselves, I hope you will recognize that we have not failed the test of the Shaliach's authority.
7 We pray to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH that you will not do what is wrong by refusing our correction. I hope we will not need to demonstrate our authority when we arrive. Do the right thing before we come, even if that makes it look like we have failed to demonstrate our authority.
8 For we cannot oppose the truth, but must always stand for the truth.
9 We are glad to seem weak if it helps show that you are actually strong. We pray that you will become mature.
10 I am writing this to you before I come, hoping that I will not need to deal severely with you when I do come. For I want to use the authority Ha'Mashyach has given me to strengthen you, not to tear you down.
The Final Greetings of Shaul
11 Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and Shalum. Then the 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH of Ahaba (love) and Shalum will be with you.
12 Greet each other with a Qadash kiss.
13 All of the people of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH here send you their greetings.
14 May the favor of our Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach, and the Ahaba (love) of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and the fellowship of the RUACH Ha'Qadash be with you all.
