2 Corinthians 13

New American Standard Bible 2020

Examine Yourselves

11ThisG3778 is the thirdG5154 timeG5154 that I am comingG2064 to you. 2On the 3testimonyG4750 of twoG1417 orG2532 threeG5140 witnessesG3144 everyG3956 matterG4487 shall be confirmedG2476. 2I have previouslyG4275 saidG4275 whenG5613 I was presentG3918 the secondG1208 timeG1208, and though nowG3568 absentG548 I sayG4302 inG4302 advanceG4302 to thoseG3588 who have 4sinnedG4258 inG4258 theG4258 pastG4258 and to allG3956 the restG3062 as well, that 5ifG1437 I comeG2064 againG3825 I will not 6spareG5339 anyone, 3sinceG1893 you are 7seekingG2212 proofG1382 of the 8ChristG5547 who speaksG2980 in me, whoG3739 is not weakG770 towardG1519 you, but 9mightyG1414 in you. 4For indeedG2532 He was 10crucifiedG4717 becauseG1537 of weaknessG769, yetG235 He livesG2198 11becauseG1537 of the powerG1411 of GodG2316. For we tooG2532 are 12weakG770 13in Him, yetG235 14we will liveG2198 with Him becauseG1537 of the powerG1411 of GodG2316 directed towardG1519 you.

515TestG3985 yourselvesG1438 to see ifG1487 you are in the faithG4102; 16examineG1381 yourselvesG1438! OrG2228 do you not recognizeG1921 this about yourselvesG1438, that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is in you--unlessG1487G3385 indeedG3385 you 1718failG96 theG96 testG96? 6But I expectG1679 that you will realizeG1097 that we ourselvesG1473 19doG1510 not failG96 theG96 testG96. 7NowG1161 we prayG2172 to GodG2316 that you doG4160 nothingG3361 wrongG2556; not soG2443 thatG2443 we ourselvesG1473 may appearG5316 approvedG1384, but that you may doG4160 whatG3588 is rightG2570, thoughG1161 we may 20appearG1510G5613 unapprovedG96. 8For we cannotG3756G1410 do anythingG5100 againstG2596 the truthG225, but only for the truthG225. 9For we rejoiceG5463 whenG3752 we ourselvesG1473 are 21weakG770, but you are strongG1415; thisG3778 we alsoG2532 prayG2172 for, 22that you 23becomeG2676 matureG2676. 10For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I am writingG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778 while absentG548, soG2443 thatG2443 when presentG3918 24I need not useG5530 25severityG664, inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 the 26authorityG1849 whichG3739 the LordG2962 gaveG1325 me for buildingG3619 upG3619 and not for tearingG2506 downG2506.

1127FinallyG3062, brothersG80 and sisters, 28rejoiceG5463, 29mendG2675 your waysG2675, be comfortedG3870, 30be like-mindedG846, 31liveG1514 inG1514 peaceG1514; and 32the GodG2316 of loveG26 and peaceG1515 will be with you. 1233GreetG782 oneG240 anotherG240 with a holyG40 kissG5370. 1334AllG3956 the 35saintsG40 greetG782 you.

1436The graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and the 37loveG26 of GodG2316, and the 38fellowshipG2842 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, be with you allG3956.
