Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
1τριτον τουτο ερχομαι προσ υμασ επι στοματοσ δυο μαρτυρων και τριων σταθησεται παν ρημα
2I already warned you the second time I was with you. So now in my absence I warn those who sinned earlier and everyone else: If I return, I will not spare anyone,
2προειρηκα και προλεγω ωσ παρων το δευτερον και απων νυν γραφω τοισ προημαρτηκοσιν και τοισ λοιποισ πασιν οτι εαν ελθω εισ το παλιν ου φεισομαι
3since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.
3επει δοκιμην ζητειτε του εν εμοι λαλουντοσ χριστου οσ εισ υμασ ουκ ασθενει αλλα δυνατει εν υμιν
4For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you.
4και γαρ ει εσταυρωθη εξ ασθενειασ αλλα ζη εκ δυναμεωσ θεου και γαρ ημεισ ασθενουμεν εν αυτω αλλα ζησομεθα συν αυτω εκ δυναμεωσ θεου εισ υμασ
5Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you actually fail the test?
5εαυτουσ πειραζετε ει εστε εν τη πιστει εαυτουσ δοκιμαζετε η ουκ επιγινωσκετε εαυτουσ οτι ιησουσ χριστοσ εν υμιν εστιν ει μητι αδοκιμοι εστε
6And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.
6ελπιζω δε οτι γνωσεσθε οτι ημεισ ουκ εσμεν αδοκιμοι
7Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not that we will appear to have stood the test, but that you will do what is right, even if we appear to have failed.
7ευχομαι δε προσ τον θεον μη ποιησαι υμασ κακον μηδεν ουχ ινα ημεισ δοκιμοι φανωμεν αλλ ινα υμεισ το καλον ποιητε ημεισ δε ωσ αδοκιμοι ωμεν
8For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
8ου γαρ δυναμεθα τι κατα τησ αληθειασ αλλ υπερ τησ αληθειασ
9In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.
9χαιρομεν γαρ οταν ημεισ ασθενωμεν υμεισ δε δυνατοι ητε τουτο δε και ευχομεθα την υμων καταρτισιν
10This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.
10δια τουτο ταυτα απων γραφω ινα παρων μη αποτομωσ χρησωμαι κατα την εξουσιαν ην εδωκεν μοι ο κυριοσ εισ οικοδομην και ουκ εισ καθαιρεσιν
11Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
11λοιπον αδελφοι χαιρετε καταρτιζεσθε παρακαλεισθε το αυτο φρονειτε ειρηνευετε και ο θεοσ τησ αγαπησ και ειρηνησ εσται μεθ υμων
12Greet one another with a holy kiss.
12ασπασασθε αλληλουσ εν αγιω φιληματι
13All the saints send you greetings.
13ασπαζονται υμασ οι αγιοι παντεσ
14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
14η χαρισ του κυριου ιησου χριστου και η αγαπη του θεου και η κοινωνια του αγιου πνευματοσ μετα παντων υμων αμην
