CHAP. XIII.

1 He threatneth seueritie, and the power of his Apostleship against obstinate sinners. 5 And aduising them to a triall of their faith, 7 and to a reformation of their sinnes before his comming, 11 He concludeth his Epistle with a generall exhortation and a prayer.

¹This is the third time I am comming to you: in the mouth of two or three witnesses shal euery word be established.

²I told you before, and foretell you as if I were present the second time, and being absent, now I write to them which heretofore haue sinned, and to all other, that if I come againe I will not spare:

³Since ye seeke a proofe of Christ, speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weake, but is mightie in you.

⁴For though hee was crucified through weaknesse, yet he liueth by the power of God: for wee also are weake in him, but wee shall liue with him by the power of God toward you.⁴

⁵Examine your selues, whether ye be in the faith: proue your owne selues. Know yee not your owne selues, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

⁶But I trust that yee shall knowe that we are not reprobates.

⁷Now I pray to God, that ye doe no euill, not that we should appeare approued, but that ye should doe þ^t which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

⁸For wee can doe nothing against the trueth, but for the trueth.

⁹For wee are glad when wee are weake, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, euen your perfection.

¹⁰Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should vse sharpnesse, according to the power which the Lord hath giuen me to edification, and not to destruction.

¹¹Finally, brethren, farewell: Bee perfect, bee of good comfort, bee of one minde, liue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you.

¹²Greet one another with an holy kisse.
