2 Corinthians 13:1-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

Examine Yourselves

13 ^(A)This is the third time I am coming to you. ^(B)Every ^[a]fact ^[b]is to be confirmed by the ^[c]testimony of two or three witnesses. ² I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have ^(C)sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that ^(D)if I come again I will not ^(E)spare anyone, ³ since you are ^(F)seeking for proof of the ^(G)Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but ^(H)mighty in you. ⁴ For indeed He was ^(I)crucified because of weakness, yet He lives ^(J)because of the power of God. For we also are ^(K)weak ^[d]in Him, yet ^(L)we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.

^5 (M)Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; ^(N)examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you ^[e](O)fail the test? ⁶ But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves ^[f]do not fail the test.
