2 Coríntios 13

1 This is the third time I am coming to you. "At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established."✝13:1 Deuteronomy 19:15 2 I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare, 3 seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you. 4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. 6 But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed. 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect. 10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. 12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13 All the saints greet you.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

He Whakatūpato, he Mihi Whakamutunga

1 Hei tuatoru tēnei mō ōku haerenga atu ki a koutou. "Mā te māngai o ngā kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru rānei, ka ū ai ngā kupu katoa." 2 Kua kōrero anō ahau i mua, ka kōrero anō ināianei, pērā i te tuarua o ōku wā i konā, ā, i ahau e ngaro mai nei, ki te hunga i hara i mua, ki ērā katoa anō hoki, nā, ki te tae atu anō ahau, e kore e tohungia e ahau; 3 e rapu tohu nā hoki koutou o te Karaiti e kōrero ana i roto i ahau; kāhore nei ia e ngoikore ki a koutou, engari e kaha ana i roto i a koutou. 4 I rīpekatia hoki ia i te mea e ngoikore ana, otiia kei te ora ia, nā te kaha o te Atua. He ngoikore hoki mātou i roto i a ia, heoi ka ora tahi anō me ia, he meatanga nā te kaha o te Atua ki a koutou.

5 Whakamātauria iho koutou anō, mehemea rānei koutou kei roto i te whakapono; tirohia iho ō koutou tohu e koutou anō. Tēnā rānei kāhore koutou e mātau ana ki a koutou anō, kei roto i a koutou a Īhu Karaiti? Ki te mea ia ehara koutou i te mea ākiri. 6 Otirā, e ū ana tōku whakaaro, e mātau ana anō koutou, ehara mātou i te mea ākiri. 7 Nā, ko tā mātou īnoi tēnei ki te Atua, kia kaua koutou e mea i tētahi kino; ehara i te mea mō mātou kia kitea e paingia ana, engari mō koutou kia mahi i te pai, ahakoa ko mātou hei mea ākiri. 8 E kore hoki e taea e mātou tētahi mea e hē ai te pono, engari te mea e ū ai te pono. 9 E hari ana hoki mātou ina ngoikore mātou, ina kaha koutou. Ko tā mātou hoki tēnei e īnoi nei, ko koutou kia tino tika. 10 Koia ahau ka tuhituhi atu nei i ēnei mea, i ahau e ngaro mai nei, kei tae atu ahau ki konā, ka koi tāku i runga i te mana kua tukua mai nei e te Ariki ki ahau hei hanga mō te whare, ehara i te mea hei wāhi.

11 Kāti rā, e ōku tēina, hei konā. Kia tino tika; kia mārie te ngākau; kia kotahi te whakaaro; kia mau te rongo; ā, tērā te Atua o te aroha, o te maunga rongo e noho ki a koutou.

12 Oha atu tētahi ki tētahi, hei te kihi tapu anō. 13 Tēnei te hunga tapu katoa te oha atu nei ki a koutou.

14 Kia tau ki a koutou katoa te atawhai o te Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti, me te aroha o te Atua, me te whiwhinga tahitanga ki te Wairua Tapu.
