2 Corinthians 13

New American Standard Bible 1995

Examine Yourselves

11ThisG3778 is the thirdG5154 timeG5154 I am comingG2064 to you. 2EveryG3956 3factG4487 4is to be confirmedG2476 by the 5testimonyG4750 of twoG1417 orG2532 threeG5140 witnessesG3144. 2I have previouslyG4275 saidG4275 whenG5613 presentG3918 the secondG1208 timeG1208, and though nowG3568 absentG548 I sayG4302 in advanceG4302 to thoseG3588 who have 6sinnedG4258 in the pastG4258 and to allG3956 the restG3062 as well, that 7ifG1437 I comeG2064 againG3825 I will not 8spareG5339 anyone, 3sinceG1893 you are 9seekingG2212 for proofG1382 of the 10ChristG5547 who speaksG2980 in me, and whoG3739 is not weakG770 towardG1519 you, but 11mightyG1414 in you. 4For indeedG2532 He was 12crucifiedG4717 becauseG1537 of weaknessG769, yetG235 He livesG2198 13becauseG1537 of the powerG1411 of GodG2316. For we alsoG2532 are 14weakG770 15in Him, yetG235 16we will liveG2198 with Him becauseG1537 of the powerG1411 of GodG2316 directed towardG1519 you.

517TestG3985 yourselvesG1438 to see ifG1487 you are in the faithG4102; 18examineG1381 yourselvesG1438! OrG2228 do you not recognizeG1921 this about yourselvesG1438, that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is in you--unlessG1487G3385 indeed you 1920failG96 the testG96? 6But I trustG1679 that you will realizeG1097 that we ourselvesG1473 21doG1510 not failG96 the testG96. 7NowG1161 we prayG2172 to GodG2316 that you doG4160 noG3361 wrongG2556; not that we ourselvesG1473 may appearG5316 approvedG1384, but that you may doG4160 whatG2570 is rightG2570, evenG1161 thoughG5613 we may 22appearG1510G5613 unapprovedG96. 8For we canG1410 do nothingG3756G5100 againstG2596 the truthG225, but only for the truthG225. 9For we rejoiceG5463 whenG3752 we ourselvesG1473 are 23weakG770 but you are strongG1415; thisG3778 we alsoG2532 prayG2172 for, 24that you be 25madeG2676 completeG2676. 10For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I am writingG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778 while absentG548, soG2443 that when presentG3918 26I need not useG5530 27severityG664, in accordanceG2596 with the 28authorityG1849 whichG3739 the LordG2962 gaveG1325 me for buildingG3619 up and not for tearingG2506 downG2506.

1129FinallyG3062, brethrenG80, 30rejoiceG5463, 3132be madeG2675 completeG2675, be comfortedG3870, 33be like-mindedG846, 34liveG1514 in peaceG1514; and 35the GodG2316 of loveG26 and peaceG1515 will be with you. 1236GreetG782 oneG240 anotherG240 with a holyG40 kissG5370. 1337AllG3956 the 38saintsG40 greetG782 you.

1439The graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and the 40loveG26 of GodG2316, and the 41fellowshipG2842 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, be with you allG3956.
