2 Corinthians 13 Christian Standard Bible Final Warnings and Exhortations 13 This is the third time I am coming to you Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses [a] 2 I gave a warning when I was present the second time, and now I give a warning while I am absent to those who sinned before and to all the rest: If I come again, I will not be lenient, 3 since you seek proof of Christ speaking in me He is not weak in dealing with you, but powerful among you 4 For he was crucified in weakness, but he lives by the power of God For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by God’s power 5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith Examine yourselves Or do you yourselves not recognize that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless you fail the test [b] 6 And I hope you will recognize that we ourselves do not fail the test 7 But we pray to God that you do nothing wrong—not that we may appear to pass the test, but that you may do what is right, even though we may appear to fail 8 For we can’t do anything against the truth, but only for the truth 9 We rejoice when we are weak and you are strong We also pray that you become fully mature [c] 10 This is why I am writing these things while absent, so that when I am there I may not have to deal harshly with you, in keeping with the authority the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down 11 Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice [d] Become mature, be encouraged,[e] be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you 12 Greet one another with a holy kiss All the saints send you greetings 13 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all Esther 1 Christian Standard Bible Vashti Angers the King 1 These events took place during the days of Ahasuerus, who ruled 127 provinces from India to Cush 2 In those days King Ahasuerus reigned from his royal throne in the fortress at Susa 3 He held a feast in the third year of his reign for all his officials and staff, the army of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the officials from the provinces 4 He displayed the glorious wealth of his kingdom and the magnificent splendor of his greatness for a total of 180 days 5 At the end of this time, the king held a week-long banquet in the garden courtyard of the royal palace for all the people, from the greatest to the least, who were present in the fortress of Susa 6 White and blue linen hangings were fastened with fine white and purple linen cords to silver rods on marble[a] columns Gold and silver couches were arranged on a mosaic pavement of red feldspar,[b] marble, mother-of-pearl, and precious stones 7 Drinks were served in an array of gold goblets, each with a different design Royal wine flowed freely, according to the king’s bounty 8 The drinking was according to royal decree: “There are no restrictions ” The king had ordered every wine steward in his household to serve whatever each person wanted 9 Queen Vashti also gave a feast for the women of King Ahasuerus’s palace 10 On the seventh day, when the king was feeling good from the wine, Ahasuerus commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas—the seven eunuchs who personally served him— 11 to bring Queen Vashti before him with her royal crown He wanted to show off her beauty to the people and the officials, because she was very beautiful 12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s command that was delivered by his eunuchs The king became furious and his anger burned within him The King’s Decree 13 The king consulted the wise men who understood the times,[c] for it was his normal procedure to confer with experts in law and justice 14 The most trusted ones[d] were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan They were the seven officials of Persia and Media who had personal access to the king and occupied the highest positions in the kingdom 15 The king asked, “According to the law, what should be done with Queen Vashti, since she refused to obey King Ahasuerus’s command that was delivered by the eunuchs?” 16 Memucan said in the presence of the king and his officials, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king, but all the officials and the peoples who are in every one of King Ahasuerus’s provinces 17 For the queen’s action will become public knowledge to all the women and cause them to despise their husbands and say, ‘King Ahasuerus ordered Queen Vashti brought before him, but she did not come ’ 18 Before this day is over, the noble women of Persia and Media who hear about the queen’s act will say the same thing to all the king’s officials, resulting in more contempt and fury 19 “If it meets the king’s approval, he should personally issue a royal BGM: Kevin MacLeod "Ambiment" / /
