2 Corinthians 13:9-11
New Life Version
2 Corinthians 13:9-11
New Life Version
9 We are glad when we are weak and you are strong. We pray that you will become strong Christians. 10 This is why I am writing these things while I am away from you. Then when I get there, I will not have to use strong words or punish you to show you that the Lord gives me this power. This power is to be used to make you stronger Christians, not to make you weak by hurting your faith.
11 Last of all, Christian brothers, good-bye. Do that which makes you complete. Be comforted. Work to get along with others. Live in peace. The God of love and peace will be with you.

New International Version
9 We are glad whenever we are weak(A) but you are strong;(B) and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.(C) 10 This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh(D) in my use of authority—the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.(E)
Final Greetings
11 Finally, brothers and sisters,(F) rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace.(G) And the God of love(H) and peace(I) will be with you.
