Come Ready make Dem Test You
The third visit don set, and dis time Paul no go spare the people wey continue to dey sin. Dem want proof say Christ dey talk through am, so e turn the test back: check yourself. E prefer make e look weak inside our Papa power and find dem whole, than to come dey scatter things.
13 1Na di third time be dis wey I dey come meet una. “Dem must confirm every matter by di mouth of two or three witness.” 2I don warn dem wey sin before, and everybody else, before hand—as I take talk am face-to-face for my second visit—and I dey tell dem now wey I no dey there: if I come again, I no go spare dem, 3since una want proof say Christ dey talk through me. E no weak for una side, but E get power among una. 4Dem crucify am for weakness, but E dey live by di power of our Papa. We too weak inside am, but for una side we go live with am by di power of our Papa.
5Test unaself—una dey inside di faith? Check unaself well. Una no know say Jesus Christ dey inside una, unless say una fail di test? 6And I trust say una go find out say we ourself no fail di test.
7We dey pray to our Papa say make una no do anything wrong—no be say we wan show say dem approve us, but so that una go do wetin correct, even if e be like say dem no approve us. 8Because we no fit stand against di truth, na only for di truth we fit stand. 9We dey happy when we weak and una strong; we dey pray too say make una complete well well. 10Na why I dey write dis things while I no dey there, so that when I come I no go need to hard, using di authority wey Oga give me—to build una up, no be to break una down.
Di Papa Im Love and Peace
11For di end, my brothers and sisters, make una rejoice, try to complete well well, encourage each other, think di same way, live for peace—and our Papa of love and peace go dey with una. 12Make una greet each other with holy kiss.
