New Matthew Bible
2 Corinthians 13:9-11
New Matthew Bible
9 We are glad when we are weak and you strong. This also we wish for: even that you were perfect. 10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest when I am present I must use sharpness, according to the power that the Lord has given me – to build up, and not to break down.
11 Finally, brethren, fare ye well. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

2 Corinthians 13:9-11
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.
