절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Final Warnings and Greetings I am on my way to visit you for the third time. And as the Scriptures say, “Any charges must be proved true by at least two or three witnesses.”	This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2	During my second visit I warned you that I would punish you and anyone else who doesn't stop sinning. I am far away from you now, but I give you the same warning.	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:
3	This should prove to you that I am speaking for Christ. When he corrects you, he won't be weak. He will be powerful!	Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4	Although he was weak when he was nailed to the cross, he now lives by the power of God. We are weak, just as Christ was. But you will see that we will live by the power of God, just as Christ does.	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.
5	Test yourselves and find out if you really are true to your faith. If you pass the test, you will discover that Christ is living in you. But if Christ isn't living in you, you have failed.	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?
6	I hope you will discover we have not failed.	But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7	We pray you will stop doing evil things. We don't pray like this to make ourselves look good, but to get you to do right, even if we are failures.	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.
8	All we can do is to follow the truth and not fight against it.	For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9	Even though we are weak, we are glad that you are strong, and we pray you will do even better.	For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
10	I am writing these things to you before I arrive. This way I won't have to be hard on you when I use the authority the Lord has given me. I was given this authority, so I could help you and not destroy you.	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.
11	Goodbye, my friends. Do better and pay attention to what I have said. Try to get along and live peacefully with each other. Now I pray that God, who gives love and peace, will be with you.	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.
12	Give each other a warm greeting. All God's people send their greetings.	Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13	I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will bless you and be kind to you! May God bless you with his love, and may the Holy Spirit join all your hearts together.	All the saints salute you.
14	—	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.
