2 Corinthians 13 — TOJB

See Hebrew/Greek in BSB →

13Verse 1This is the pa'am hashlishit I am coming to you;+by the PI SHNAYIM SHLOSHAH EDIM+(by the mouth of two or three witnesses), every dvar shall be established.Verse 2I warned those who committed averos before and all the rest, and, now absent, I warn them again, as I did when I made pakad (visit) the pa'am hashenit, that if I come again, I will not spare, I will not be lenient,Verse 3Als (since) you seek to test if Moshiach is speaking in me. Moshiach is not weak toward you, but is GIBBOR in you.+Verse 4For indeed he was talui al HaEtz+(being hanged on the Tree) out of weakness,+but Moshiach lives by the gevurat Hashem. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet we will live with him by the gevurat Hashem(the power of G-d) toward you.Verse 5Perform a bedikah (examination) on yourselves to see if you are in the+emunah (faith). Test and prove yourselves.+Or do you yourselves not have da'as that Moshiach is in you? Unless you are reprobate and unapproved.+Verse 6But I have tikvah that you will have da'as that we are not unapproved.Verse 7Now we daven (pray) to Hashem that you do not do any rah (evil), not that we Shlichim may appear to have stood the test, but that you may do hatov (the good), though we may seem to have failed.Verse 8For we are not able to do anything against HaEmes, but only for HaEmes.+Verse 9For we have lev same'ach when we are megareia (weakened) and you are strong, for this also we daven (pray), that is, for your shelemut (perfection), your tikkun (restoration repair).Verse 10Therefore, while I am absent I write this iggeret so that when I am present I may not treat you with severity, according to the samchut (authority) which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu gave me for your chozek (strength) and not for your churban.+Verse 11For the rest, Achim b'Moshiach, rejoice with simcha.+Come to order and chazzak (be strong)! Have achdus (unity) in your machshavot (thoughts). Live in shalom. And the G-d of ahavah and shalom will be with you.+Verse 12Greet one another with a neshikat hakodesh.Verse 13All the Kedoshim say, “Shalom!”Verse 14The Chen v'Chesed Adoneinu Moshiach and the ahavas Hashem and the dveykus HaRuach Hakodesh be with you all.+
