2 Corinthians 13:5-10

21st Century King James Version

⁵ Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith. Test your own selves. Know ye not yourselves how Jesus Christ is in you, unless ye be reprobates?

⁶ But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

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

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

⁹ For we are glad when we are weak and ye are strong. And this also we wish: even your perfection.

¹⁰ Therefore I write these things being absent, lest, were I present, I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me for edification, and not for destruction.
