2 Corinthians 13:9-11
New English Translation

9 For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. And we pray for this: that you may become fully qualified.[a] 10 Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive[b] I may not have to deal harshly with you[c] by using my authority—the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!

Final Exhortations and Greetings

11 Finally, brothers and sisters,[d] rejoice, set things right, be encouraged, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
