2 Corinthians 13 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Examine Yourselves

2Co 13:1

2Co 13:1This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY [fn]FACT [fn]IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE [fn]TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.

2Co 13:2

2Co 13:2I have previously said when 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 for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and 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 also are weak [fn]in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.

2Co 13:5

2Co 13:5Test 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 trust 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 no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may [fn]appear unapproved.

2Co 13:8

2Co 13:8For we can do nothing 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 be made complete.

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 13:11Finally, brethren, [fn]rejoice, [fn]be made complete, 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 13:14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
