¹This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” Deuteronomy 19:15

¹Haur da çuetara ethorten naicén heren aldia Biga edo hirur testimonioren ahoan fermu içanen da hitz gucia.

²I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, 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;

²Aitzinetic erran vkan dut, eta berriz aitzinetic diot, present baninz beçala, eta absent naicelaric orain scribatzen drauet lehen bekatu eguin duteney, eta goitico guciey, ecen berriz banathor eztudala nehor guppida vkanen.

³seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.

³Christ nitan minço denaren experientiaren ondoan çabiltzatenaz gueroz, cein ezpaita infirmo çuetara, baina da botheretsu çuetan.

⁴For 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.

⁴Ecen crucificatu içan bada-ere infirmitatez, alabaina vici da Iaincoaren verthutez: ecen gu-ere infirmo gara harequin, baina vici gara harequin Iaincoaren verthutez çuec baithara.

⁵Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

⁵Çuen buruäc experimentaitzaçue eya fedean çaretenez, çuen buruäc phorogaitzaçue: ala eztituçue çuen buruäc eçagutzen, ecen Iesus Christ çuetan dela? baldin reprobo ezpaçarete.

⁶But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

⁶Baina sperança dut eçaguturen duçuela ecen gu ezgarela reprobo.

⁷Now 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 are as reprobate.

⁷Eta othoitz eguiten draucat Iaincoari, deus gaizquiric eguin ezteçaçuen: ez gu approbatu eriden gaitecençát, baina çuec vngui daguiçuençát, eta gu reprobo beçala garençát.

⁸For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

⁸Ecen deus ecin daidiquegu eguiaren contra, baina eguiaren alde.

⁹For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.

⁹Ecen alegueratzen gara gu flaccu garen, eta çuec erscon çareten: eta haur-ere desiratzen dugu, diot, çuen perfectionea.

¹⁰For 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.

¹⁰Halacotz gauça hauc absent naicela scribatzen ditut, present içanen naicenean seueritatez vsat ezteçadançát, Iaunac edificationetacotz eta ez destructionetacotz eman drautan botherearen araura.

¹¹Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

¹¹Gaineracoaz, anayeác, aleguera çaiteztez, auança çaiteztez perfect içatera, consola çaiteztez, çareten consentimendu batetaco, çareten vici baquean, eta charitatezco eta baquezco Iaincoa içanen da çuequin.

¹²Greet one another with a holy kiss.

¹²Elkar saluta eçaçue pot saindu batez. Salutatzen çaituztez saindu guciéc.

¹³All the saints greet you.

¹³Iesus Christ Iaunaren gratiá, eta Iaincoaren charitatea, eta Spiritu sainduaren communicationea dela çuequin gucioquin. Amen.

¹⁴The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.
