New International Reader's Version

2 Corinthians 13:10-13 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

10. That's why I write these things before I come to you. Then when I do come, I won't have to be hard on you when I use my authority. The Lord gave me the authority to build you up. He didn't give it to me to tear you down.

11. Finally, brothers and sisters, good-by. Try to be perfect. Pay attention to what I'm saying. Agree with one another. Live in peace. And the God who gives love and peace will be with you.

12. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13. All of God's people send their greetings.
