2 Corinthians 13:3-7

3since you are 1seeking proof of the 2Christ who speaks in me, who is not weak toward you, but 3mighty in you. 4For indeed He was 4crucified because of weakness, yet He lives 5because of the power of God. For we too are 6weak 7in Him, yet 8we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.

5 9Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; 10examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you 11 12fail the test? 6But I expect that you will realize that we ourselves 13do not fail the test. 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 14appear unapproved.
