2 Corinthians 13:1-7 ▼

1 THIS third time I am coming to you: by the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every charge be established.

2 I have told you before, and I repeat it, as when I was present the second time, and now absent, I write to those who have sinned already, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare you:

3 since ye demand a proof that Christ speaketh in me, who to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

4 For though he was crucified in 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 displayed towards you.

5 Examine yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your ownselves: know ye not your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobate?

6 But I hope that ye shall know that we are not reprobate.

7 Now I pray unto God that ye do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you may do that which is laudable, though we should be as reprobates.
