2 Corinthians 13:5-14 ▼

5 Test yourselves, whether you? are in the faith; examine yourselves. Or do you? not recognize yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you??—unless you? are unapproved.

6 And I trust that you? will learn that we are not unapproved.

7 Now we pray to God for you? to do nothing wrong, not that we might appear approved, but that you? may do what is right, though we might appear as unapproved.

8 For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth.

9 For we rejoice when we may be weak but you? may be powerful. This also we pray for: your? perfection.

10 Because of this, I write these things being absent, so that being present I should not treat you severely according to the authority that the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected, be exhorted, 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.

13 All the saints greet you?.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you?.
