2 Corinthians 13:8

Final Warnings To The Church At Corinth

⁷ Now we pray to God that you people will not do anything wrong. That is not so that we will appear approved [by God], but so that you will do what is right, even though we may appear to be counterfeits. ⁸ For we [apostles] have no power [to act] against the truth, but [only] for the truth. [Note: Paul here alludes to his gifts and ministry being intended only to promote what was right according to God's truth]. ⁹ For we are glad when we are weak and you are powerful. And we are also praying for your complete restoration [i.e., to spiritual maturity].
