| Vers | English: King James Version | Spanish: Reina Valera NT (1858) † |
| 1 | This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. | ESTA tercera vez voy á vosotros. En la boca de dos ó de tres testigos consistirá todo negocio. |
| 2 | I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: | He dicho ántes, y ahora digo otra vez como presente; y ahora ausente lo escribo á los que ántes pecaron, y á todos los demás; que si voy otra vez, no perdonaré: |
| 3 | Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. | Pues buscais una prueba de Cristo que habla en mí, el cual no es flaco para con vosotros, ántes es poderoso en vosotros. |
| 4 | For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. | Porque aunque fué crucificado por flaqueza, empero vive por potencia de Dios. Pues tambien nosotros somos flacos con él, mas vivirémos con él por la potencia de Dios para con vosotros. |
| 5 | Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? | Examináos á vosotros mismos si estais en fé; probáos á vosotros mismos. ¿No os conoceis á vosotros mismos, que Jesu-Cristo está en vosotros? si ya no sois reprobados. |
| 6 | But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. | Mas espero que conoceréis que nosotros no somos reprobados. |
| 7 | Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. | Y oramos á Dios que ninguna cosa mala hagais; no para que nosotros seamos hallados aprobados, mas para que vosotros hagais lo que es bueno, aunque nosotros seamos como reprobados. |
| 8 | For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. | Porque ninguna cosa podemos contra la verdad, sino por la verdad. |
| 9 | For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. | Por lo cual nos gozamos que seamos nosotros flacos, y que vosotros esteis fuertes; y aun deseamos vuestra perfeccion. |
| 10 | Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. | Por tanto [os] escribo esto ausente por no tratar presente con [más] dureza, conforme á la potestad que el Señor me ha dado para edificacion, y no para destruccion. |
| 11 | Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. | Resta hermanos, que tengais gozo; seais perfectos, tengais consolacion, sintais una misma cosa, tengais paz; y el Dios de paz y de caridad será con vosotros. |
| 12 | Greet one another with an holy kiss. | Saludáos los unos á los otros con ósculo santo. Todos los santos os saludan. |
| 13 | All the saints salute you. | La gracia del Señor Jesu-Cristo y el amor de Dios, y la participacion del Espíritu Santo sea con vosotros todos. Amen. {La segunda [epístola] á los Corintios fué enviada de Filipos de Macedonia con Tito y Lucas.} |
| 14 | The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. |
