1
This is the third time I am coming to you. “Upon the mouth of two witnesses or three every matter shall be established.”
2
I have said before, and I say beforehand, as when present the second time, and now absent, to those who sinned before and to all the rest: if I come again, I shall not spare.
3
Since you seek proof of the Anointed speaking in me, who toward you is not weak but is powerful among you.
4
For indeed he was executed from weakness, yet he lives from the power of Elohim. For we also are weak in him, yet we shall live with him from the power of Elohim toward you.
5
Test yourselves whether you are in the trust. Prove yourselves. Or do you not recognize concerning yourselves that Yahushua the Anointed is in you— unless indeed you are disqualified?
6
But I hope you shall know that we are not disqualified.
7
Now we petition Elohim that you do nothing evil, not so that we may appear approved, but so that you may do what is good, even if we appear as disqualified.
8
For we are not able to do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
9
For we rejoice whenever we are weak and you are strong. And this we also petition: your restoration.
10
Because of this I write these things while absent, so that when present I may not act severely according to the authority which the Master gave me for building and not for tearing down.
11
Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be restored. Be encouraged. Be of one mind. Live in shalom. And the Elohim of love and shalom shall be with you.
12
Greet one another with a set-apart kiss.
13
All the set-apart ones greet you.
14
The grace of the Master Yahushua the Anointed, and the love of Elohim, and the fellowship of Holy Ruach be with all of you.
