2 Corinthians 13 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Examine Yourselves

2Co 13:1

2Co 13:1

This is the third time that I am coming to you. ON THE [fn]TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY MATTER SHALL BE CONFIRMED.

2Co 13:2

2Co 13:2I have previously said when I was present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,

2Co 13:3

2Co 13:3since you are seeking proof of the Christ who speaks in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

2Co 13:4

2Co 13:4For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we too are weak [fn]in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.

2Co 13:5

2Co 13:5

Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you [fn]fail the test?

2Co 13:6

2Co 13:6But I expect that you will realize that we ourselves [fn]do not fail the test.

2Co 13:7

2Co 13:7Now we pray to God that you do nothing wrong; not so that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, though we may [fn]appear unapproved.

2Co 13:8

2Co 13:8For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

2Co 13:9

2Co 13:9For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak, but you are strong; this we also pray for, [fn]that you become mature.

2Co 13:10

2Co 13:10For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

2Co 13:11

2Co 13:11

Finally, brothers and sisters, [fn]rejoice, mend your ways, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

2Co 13:12

2Co 13:12Greet one another with a holy kiss.

2Co 13:13

2Co 13:13All the [fn]saints greet you.

2Co 13:14

2Co 13:14

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