Entry: The plan to come the third time, and why the writer writes these things while absent (event-2co-13-the-third-coming-and-the-writing-while-absent)
Address: https://bibliadatum.org/en/wiki/event/2co-13-the-third-coming-and-the-writing-while-absent
Current wording: 2 Corinthians 13:1–10: The writer (“I”) says, “This is the third time I am coming to you. ‘At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.’ 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, seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you. 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. 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. But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified. 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. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect. 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.” The third coming is told as something to come, not as done. At 13:2 the Korean Revised Version reads 미리 말하노니, where WEB reads “I write to those who have sinned before now”; at 13:4 it names Christ (그리스도께서 약하심으로 십자가에 못 박히셨으나), where WEB reads “For he was crucified through weakness”; at 13:7 it reads 우리가 하나님께서 너희로 악을 조금도 행하지 않게 하시기를 구하노니, with “we”, where WEB reads “Now I pray to God that you do no evil”.
