2 Corinthians 13:3-10

3SinceG1893 ye seekG2212 a proofG1382 of ChristG5547 speakingG2980 inG1722 meG1473, whichG3739 toG1519 you-wardG4771 isG770 notG3756 weakG770, butG235 is mightyG1414 inG1722 youG4771. 4ForG2532G1063 thoughG1487 he was crucifiedG4717 throughG1537 weaknessG769, yetG235 he livethG2198 byG1537 the powerG1411 of GodG2316. ForG1063 weG1473 alsoG2532 are weakG770 inG1722 himG846, butG235 we shall liveG2198 withG4862 himG846 byG1537 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 towardG1519 youG4771.

5ExamineG3985 yourselvesG1438, whetherG1487 ye beG1510 inG1722 the faithG3588G4102; proveG1381 your own selvesG1438. Know yeG1921 notG3756 your own selvesG1438, how thatG3754 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 isG1510 inG1722 youG4771, exceptG1487 ye beG1510 reprobatesG96? 6ButG1161 I trustG1679 thatG3754 ye shall knowG1097 thatG3754 weG1473 areG1510 notG3756 reprobatesG96.

7NowG1161 I prayG2172 toG4314 GodG3588G2316 thatG4160 yeG4771 doG4160 noG3367 evilG2556; notG3756 thatG2443 weG1473 should appearG5316 approvedG1384, butG235 thatG2443 yeG4771 should doG4160 that whichG3588 is honestG2570, thoughG1161 weG1473 beG1510 asG5613 reprobatesG96. 8ForG1063 we can doG1410 nothingG3756 againstG2596 the truthG3588G225, butG235 forG5228 the truthG3588G225. 9ForG1063 weG1473 are gladG5463, whenG3752 we are weakG770, andG1161 yeG4771 areG1510 strongG1415: andG1161 thisG3778 alsoG2532 we wishG2172, even yourG4771 perfectionG2676. 10ThereforeG1223 I writeG1125 these thingsG3778 beingG2443 absentG548, lestG3361 being presentG3918 I should useG5530 sharpnessG664, accordingG2596 to the authorityG3588G1849 whichG3739 the LordG3588G2962 hath givenG1325 meG1473 toG1519 edificationG3619, andG2532 notG3756 toG1519 destructionG2506.
