2 Corinthians 13:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ For we rejoice that we are weak, and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection.

¹⁰ Therefore I write these things, being absent, that, being present, I may not deal more severely, according to the power which the Lord hath given me unto edification, and not unto destruction.

¹¹ For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you.
