2 Corinthians 13:7-9

American Standard Version

⁷ Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is honorable, ^[a]though we be as reprobate. 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 we also pray for, even your perfecting.
