2 Corinthians 13:4-10

4For indeedG2532 He was 1crucifiedG4717 becauseG1537 of weaknessG769, yetG235 He livesG2198 2becauseG1537 of the powerG1411 of GodG2316. For we alsoG2532 are 3weakG770 4in Him, yetG235 5we will liveG2198 with Him becauseG1537 of the powerG1411 of GodG2316 directed towardG1519 you.

56TestG3985 yourselvesG1438 to see ifG1487 you are in the faithG4102; 7examineG1381 yourselvesG1438! OrG2228 do you not recognizeG1921 this about yourselvesG1438, that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is in you--unlessG1487G3385 indeed you 89failG96 the testG96? 6But I trustG1679 that you will realizeG1097 that we ourselvesG1473 10doG1510 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 11appearG1510G5613 unapprovedG96. 8For we canG1410 do nothingG3756G5100 againstG2596 the truthG225, but only for the truthG225. 9For we rejoiceG5463 whenG3752 we ourselvesG1473 are 12weakG770 but you are strongG1415; thisG3778 we alsoG2532 prayG2172 for, 13that you be 14madeG2676 completeG2676. 10For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I am writingG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778 while absentG548, soG2443 that when presentG3918 15I need not useG5530 16severityG664, in accordanceG2596 with the 17authorityG1849 whichG3739 the LordG2962 gaveG1325 me for buildingG3619 up and not for tearingG2506 downG2506.
