¹

This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every word be established.

¹

Трети́цею сѐ грѧдꙋ̀ къ ва́мъ: при оу҆стѣ́хъ двою̀ и҆лѝ трїе́хъ свидѣ́телей ста́нетъ всѧ́къ глаго́лъ.

²

I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as if I were present the second time; and being absent now I write to them that have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;

²

Пре́жде рѣ́хъ и҆ предглаго́лю, ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆ ва́съ бы́въ второ́е, и҆ ѿсꙋ́тствꙋѧ нн҃ѣ пишꙋ̀ пре́жде согрѣши́вшымъ и҆ про́чымъ всѣ̑мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще прїидꙋ̀ па́ки, не пощаждꙋ̀:

³

seeing that ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me; who to you-ward is not weak, but is powerful in you:

³

(Заⷱ҇ р҃ч҃з҃.) поне́же и҆скꙋше́нїѧ и҆́щете гл҃ющагѡ во мнѣ̀ хрⷭ҇та̀, и҆́же въ ва́съ не и҆знемога́етъ, но мо́жетъ въ ва́съ:

⁴

for though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God toward you.

⁴

и҆́бо а҆́ще и҆ ра́спѧтъ бы́сть ѿ не́мощи, но жи́въ є҆́сть ѿ си́лы бж҃їѧ: и҆́бо и҆ мы̀ немощствꙋ́емъ въ не́мъ, но жи́ви бꙋ́демъ съ ни́мъ ѿ си́лы бж҃їѧ въ ва́съ:

⁵

Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate.

⁵

себѐ и҆скꙋша́йте, а҆́ще є҆стѐ въ вѣ́рѣ: себѐ и҆скꙋша́йте. И҆лѝ не зна́ете себѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́съ въ ва́съ є҆́сть; Ра́звѣ то́чїю чи́мъ неискꙋ́сни є҆стѐ.

⁶

But I hope that ye shall know that we are not reprobate.

⁶

Оу҆пова́ю же, ꙗ҆́кѡ разꙋмѣ́ти и҆́мате, ꙗ҆́кѡ мы̀ нѣсмы̀ неискꙋ́сни.

⁷

Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is honorable, though we be as reprobate.

⁷

Мо́лимсѧ же къ бг҃ꙋ, не сотвори́ти ва́мъ ни є҆ди́нагѡ ѕла̀, не ꙗ҆́кѡ да мы̀ и҆скꙋ́сни ꙗ҆ви́мсѧ, но да вы̀ до́брое сотворитѐ, мы́ же ꙗ҆́кѡ неискꙋ́сни бꙋ́демъ.

⁸

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

⁸

Ничто́же бо мо́жемъ на и҆́стинꙋ, но по и҆́стинѣ.

⁹

For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this we also pray for, even your perfecting.

⁹

Ра́дꙋемсѧ бо, є҆гда̀ мы̀ немощствꙋ́емъ, вы́ же си́льни быва́ете: ѡ҆ се́мъ же и҆ мо́лимсѧ, ѡ҆ ва́шемъ соверше́нїи.

¹⁰

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down.

¹⁰

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди не сы́й оу҆ ва́съ сїѧ̑ пишꙋ̀, да не прише́дъ безща́днѡ сотворю̀ по вла́сти, ю҆́же гдⷭ҇ь да́лъ мѝ є҆́сть въ созда́нїе, а҆ не на разоре́нїе.

¹¹

Finally, brethren, rejoice; be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

¹¹

Про́чее же, бра́тїе, ра́дꙋйтесѧ, соверша́йтесѧ, оу҆тѣша́йтесѧ, то́жде мꙋ́дрствꙋйте, ми́ръ и҆мѣ́йте. И҆ бг҃ъ любвѐ и҆ ми́ра бꙋ́детъ съ ва́ми.

¹²

Salute one another with a holy kiss.

¹²

Цѣлꙋ́йте дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га лобза́нїемъ ст҃ы́мъ. Цѣлꙋ́ютъ вы̀ ст҃і́и всѝ.

¹³

All the saints salute you.

¹³

Блгⷣть гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, и҆ любы̀ бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀, и҆ ѻ҆бще́нїе ст҃а́гѡ дх҃а со всѣ́ми ва́ми. А҆ми́нь.

¹⁴

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.
