2 Corinthians 13:5-14 ▼

5 Try yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove yourselves. Or know ye not as to yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless ye be rejected?

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

7 Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do what is honorable, though we be rejected.

8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

9 For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong; this also we pray for—your perfection.

10 For this cause, I write these things while absent; that I may not, when present, deal sharply according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not casting down.

11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfected, be comforted, think the same thing; be at peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

12 Salute one another with a holy kiss.

13 All the saints salute you.

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