2 Corinthians

Chapter 13

Phonetic (Greek): Triton toyto erchomai pros hymas· epi stomatos dyo martyron kai trion stathesetai pan ῥema.

Edified Edition (EDE)This will be the third time I am coming to you. "By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established."

Τρίτον τοῦτο ἔρχομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς· ἐπὶ στόματος δύο μαρτύρων καὶ τριῶν σταθήσεται πᾶν ῥῆμα.

Phonetic (Greek): proeireka kai prolego hos paron to deyteron kai apon ⸀nyn, tois proemartekosin kai tois loipois pasin, hoti ean eltho eis to palin oy pheisomai,

Edified Edition (EDE)I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare,

προείρηκα καὶ προλέγω ὡς παρὼν τὸ δεύτερον καὶ ἀπὼν ⸀νῦν, τοῖς προημαρτηκόσιν καὶ τοῖς λοιποῖς πᾶσιν, ὅτι ἐὰν ἔλθω εἰς τὸ πάλιν οὐ φείσομαι,

Phonetic (Greek): epei dokimen zeteite toy en emoi laloyntos Christoy· hos eis hymas oyk asthenei alla dynatei en hymin,

Edified Edition (EDE)since you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

ἐπεὶ δοκιμὴν ζητεῖτε τοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ λαλοῦντος Χριστοῦ· ὃς εἰς ὑμᾶς οὐκ ἀσθενεῖ ἀλλὰ δυνατεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν,

Phonetic (Greek): kai ⸀gar estaurothe ex astheneias, alla zῇ ek dynameos theoy. kai gar hemeis asthenoymen en aytῷ, alla ⸀zesomen syn aytῷ ek dynameos theoy eis hymas.

Edified Edition (EDE)For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives 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.

καὶ ⸀γὰρ ἐσταυρώθη ἐξ ἀσθενείας, ἀλλὰ ζῇ ἐκ δυνάμεως θεοῦ. καὶ γὰρ ἡμεῖς ἀσθενοῦμεν ἐν αὐτῷ, ἀλλὰ ⸀ζήσομεν σὺν αὐτῷ ἐκ δυνάμεως θεοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς.

Phonetic (Greek): Ἑautoys peirazete ei este en tῇ pistei, heautoys dokimazete· e oyk epiginoskete heautoys hoti ⸂Ἰesoys Christos⸃ en ⸀hymin; ei meti adokimoi este.

Edified Edition (EDE)Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?, unless indeed you are disqualified.

Ἑαυτοὺς πειράζετε εἰ ἐστὲ ἐν τῇ πίστει, ἑαυτοὺς δοκιμάζετε· ἢ οὐκ ἐπιγινώσκετε ἑαυτοὺς ὅτι ⸂Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς⸃ ἐν ⸀ὑμῖν; εἰ μήτι ἀδόκιμοί ἐστε.

Phonetic (Greek): elpizo de hoti gnosesthe hoti hemeis oyk esmen adokimoi.

Edified Edition (EDE)But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

ἐλπίζω δὲ ὅτι γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἐσμὲν ἀδόκιμοι.

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀eychometha de pros ton theon me poiesai hymas kakon meden, oych hina hemeis dokimoi phanomen, allʼ hina hymeis to kalon poiete, hemeis de hos adokimoi omen.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honourable, though we may seem disqualified.

⸀εὐχόμεθα δὲ πρὸς τὸν θεὸν μὴ ποιῆσαι ὑμᾶς κακὸν μηδέν, οὐχ ἵνα ἡμεῖς δόκιμοι φανῶμεν, ἀλλʼ ἵνα ὑμεῖς τὸ καλὸν ποιῆτε, ἡμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἀδόκιμοι ὦμεν.

Phonetic (Greek): oy gar dynametha ti kata tes aletheias, alla hyper tes aletheias.

Edified Edition (EDE)For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

οὐ γὰρ δυνάμεθά τι κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας, ἀλλὰ ὑπὲρ τῆς ἀληθείας.

Phonetic (Greek): chairomen gar hotan hemeis asthenomen, hymeis de dynatoi ete· ⸀toyto kai eychometha, ten hymon katartisin.

Edified Edition (EDE)For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.

χαίρομεν γὰρ ὅταν ἡμεῖς ἀσθενῶμεν, ὑμεῖς δὲ δυνατοὶ ἦτε· ⸀τοῦτο καὶ εὐχόμεθα, τὴν ὑμῶν κατάρτισιν.

Phonetic (Greek): dia toyto tayta apon grapho, hina paron me apotomos chresomai kata ten exousian hen ⸂ho kyrios edoken moi⸃, eis oikodomen kai oyk eis kathairesin.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.

διὰ τοῦτο ταῦτα ἀπὼν γράφω, ἵνα παρὼν μὴ ἀποτόμως χρήσωμαι κατὰ τὴν ἐξουσίαν ἣν ⸂ὁ κύριος ἔδωκέν μοι⸃, εἰς οἰκοδομὴν καὶ οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν.

Phonetic (Greek): Loipon, adelphoi, chairete, katartizesthe, parakaleisthe, to ayto phroneite, eireneyete, kai ho theos tes agapes kai eirenes estai methʼ hymon.

Edified Edition (EDE)Finally, brothers, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Λοιπόν, ἀδελφοί, χαίρετε, καταρτίζεσθε, παρακαλεῖσθε, τὸ αὐτὸ φρονεῖτε, εἰρηνεύετε, καὶ ὁ θεὸς τῆς ἀγάπης καὶ εἰρήνης ἔσται μεθʼ ὑμῶν.

Phonetic (Greek): aspasasthe allelous en hagiῳ philemati. aspazontai hymas ohi hagioi pantes.

Edified Edition (EDE)Greet one another with a holy kiss.

ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν ἁγίῳ φιλήματι. ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς οἱ ἅγιοι πάντες.

Phonetic (Greek): he charis toy kyriou Ἰesoy Christoy kai he agape toy theoy kai he koinonia toy hagiou pneymatos meta panton ⸀hymon.

Edified Edition (EDE)All the saints greet you.

ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἡ κοινωνία τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος μετὰ πάντων ⸀ὑμῶν.
