13 This is the third time that I come to you. In the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word stand.
2 I told you before, and tell you now beforehand, as though I had been present a second time. So I write now - being absent from those who until now have sinned, and to all others - that if I come again, I will not spare anyone;
3 since you seek proof of Christ speaking in me, Who is not weak toward you, but is mighty in you.
4 For though He was crucified through His weakness, yet He lives through the power of God. And we, no doubt, are weak in Him. But we shall live with Him, through the power of God, toward you.
5 Test yourselves, whether you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Do you not know yourselves how that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are disqualified?
6 But I trust that you shall know that we are not disqualified.
7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we should seem approved, but that you should do that which is honest, though we may be disqualified.
8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but for the truth.
9 For we are glad when we are weak, and you are strong. For this also we pray: even your perfecting.
10 Therefore, I write these things while being absent (so that when I am present, I should not use sharpness) according to the power which the Lord has given me to edification, and not to destruction.
11 Finally brothers, 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 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the Saints salute you.
13 The grace of our 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 written from Philippi - a city in Macedonia - and sent by Titus and Lucas)
57 Have mercy upon me, O God. Have mercy upon me, for my soul trusts in You, and in the shadow of Your wings I will trust till afflictions pass over.
2 I will call to the Most High God, the God Who performs toward me.
3 He will send from Heaven and save me from the reproof of him who would swallow me. Selah. God will send His mercy and His truth.
4 My soul is among lions; I lie among the children of men, who are set on fire; whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Exalt Yourself, O God, above the heaven. Let Your Glory be upon all the Earth.
6 They have laid a net for my steps. My soul is pressed down; they have dug a pit before me and have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
7 My heart is prepared, O God. My heart is prepared. I will sing and give praise!
8 Awake, my tongue! Awake, viol and harp! I will awake early!
9 I will praise You, O LORD, among the people. I will sing to You among the nations.
10 For Your mercy is great unto the heavens; Your Truth unto the clouds!
11 Exalt Yourself, O God, above the heavens! Let Your Glory be upon all the Earth! To him who excels: Do not destroy. A Psalm of David, on Michtam
9 Do not speak in the ears of a fool. For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Do not remove the ancient boundaries. And do not enter into the fields of the fatherless.
11 For He who redeems them is mighty. He will defend their cause against you.
