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.
