2 Corinthians 13

Examine Yourselves

^{Tools
1} ^(A)This is the third time I am coming to you. ^(B)Every ^(a)fact ^(b)is to be confirmed by the ^(c)testimony of two or three witnesses. ^{Tools
2} I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have ^(C)sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that ^(D)if I come again I will not ^(E)spare anyone, ^{Tools
3} since you are ^(F)seeking for proof of the ^(G)Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but ^(H)mighty in you. ^{Tools
4} For indeed He was ^(I)crucified because of weakness, yet He lives ^(J)because of the power of God. For we also are ^(K)weak ^(d)in Him, yet ^(L)we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.

^{Tools
5} ^(M)Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; ^(N)examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you ^(e)^(O)fail the test? ^{Tools
6} But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves ^(f)do not fail the test. ^{Tools
7} Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may ^(g)appear unapproved. ^{Tools
8} For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth. ^{Tools
9} For we rejoice when we ourselves are ^(P)weak but you are strong; this we also pray for, ^(h)that you be ^(Q)made complete. ^{Tools
10} For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present ^(R)I need not use ^(S)severity, in accordance with the ^(T)authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

^{Tools
11} ^(U)Finally, brethren, ⁽ⁱ⁾rejoice, ^(j)^(V)be made complete, be comforted, ^(W)be like-minded, ^(X)live in peace; and ^(Y)the God of love and peace will be with you. ^{Tools
12} ^(Z)Greet one another with a holy kiss. ^{Tools
13} ^(AA)All the ^(k)saints greet you.

^{Tools
14} ^(AB)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the ^(AC)love of God, and the ^(AD)fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
