فَالمَسِيحُ لَيْسَ بِضَعِيفٍ تُجَاهَكُم، بَلْ هوَ قَوِيٌّ بَيْنَكُم
رسالة القدّيس بولس الثانية إلى أهل قورنتس12/21//13/من01حتى05/”يا إخوَتِي، إِنِّي أَخْشَى، مَتَى عُدْتُ إِلَيْكُم، أَنْ يُذِلَّنِي إِلهِي عِنْدَكُم، فَأَحْزَنَ عَلى كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ خَطِئُوا فِيمَا مَضَى، وٱرْتَكَبُوا النَّجَاسَةَ والفُجُورَ والدَّعَارَة، ولَمْ يَتُوبُوا! هَا أَنا قَادِمٌ إِلَيْكُم لِلمَرَّةِ الثَّالِثَة: «وعَلى فَمِ شَاهِدَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٍ يُحْكَمُ في كُلِّ قَضِيَّة». قُلْتُ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وأَنا حَاضِرٌ عِنْدَكُم لِلمَرَّةِ الثَّانِيَة، وأَقُولُ الآنَ وأَنا غَائِب، لِلَّذِينَ خَطِئُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلِلبَاقِينَ جَمِيعًا: إِنِّي، إِذَا عُدْتُ إِلَيْكُم، لَنْ أُشْفِق! لأَنَّكُم تَطْلُبُونَ بُرْهَانًا عَلى أَنَّ المَسِيحَ هوَ المُتَكَلِّمُ فِيَّ. فَالمَسِيحُ لَيْسَ بِضَعِيفٍ تُجَاهَكُم، بَلْ هوَ قَوِيٌّ بَيْنَكُم. أَجَلْ، لَقَدْ صُلِبَ بِضُعْف، لكِنَّهُ يَحْيَا بِقُدْرَةِ ٱلله. وفيهِ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا ضُعَفَاء، لكِنَّنا سَنَحْيَا مَعَهُ بِقُدْرَةِ ٱللهِ مِنَ أَجْلِكُم. إِخْتَبِرُوا أَنْفُسَكُم، هَلْ أَنْتُم رَاسِخُونَ في الإِيْمَان. إِمْتَحِنُوا أَنْفُسَكُم. أَلا تَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّ المَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ فِيكُم؟ إِلاَّ إِذَا كُنْتُم مَرْفُوضِين!”

Christ is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you.
Second Letter to the Corinthians 12/21/13/01-05/: “I fear that when I come again, my God may humble me before you, and that I may have to mourn over many who previously sinned and have not repented of the impurity, sexual immorality, and licentiousness that they have practised. This is the third time I am coming to you. ‘Any charge must be sustained by the evidence of two or three witnesses.’I warned those who sinned previously and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again, I will not be lenient since you desire proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful in you. For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God. Examine yourselves to see whether you are living in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? unless, indeed, you fail to pass the test!”
