II Corinthians . 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 ..... examine yourselves
13:01 .. this is the third time I am coming to you .. every fact is to be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses
13:02 .. I have previously said when present the second time .. and though now absent I say in advance to those who have
......... sinned in the past and to all the rest as well .. that if I come again I will not spare anyone
13:03 .. since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me .. and who is not weak toward you .. but mighty in you
13:04 .. for indeed he was crucified because of weakness .. yet he lives because of the power of God .. for we also are weak in him ..
......... yet we will live with him because of the power of God directed toward you
13:05 .. test yourselves to see if you are in the faith .. examine yourselves .. or do you not recognize this about yourselves ..
......... that Jesus Christ is in you .. unless indeed you fail the test
13:06 .. but I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test
13:07 .. 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 appear unapproved
13:08 .. for we can do nothing against the truth .. but only for the truth
13:09 .. for we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong .. this we also pray for .. that you be made complete
13:10 .. for this reason I am writing these things while absent .. so that when present I need not use severity ..
......... in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down
13:11 .. finally .. brethren .. rejoice .. be made complete .. be comforted .. be like-minded .. live in peace ..
......... and the God of love and peace will be with you
13:12 .. greet one another with a holy kiss
13:13 .. all the saints greet you
13:14 .. the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ .. and the love of God .. and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit .. be with you all
The great burden of God’s faithful representatives is that the Gospel they preach may be honored .. however their persons may be vilified .. their heavenly commission is verified through the lives of those in whom Christ is living with power .. having believed in Christ through their ministry .. let us examine ourselves whether we be in the faith . . . v 4 .. as Christ was crucified in weakness .. or appeared to be weak to men .. but lives by the power of God .. so his representatives .. however contemptible they may seem to some .. yet are instruments manifesting the power of God .. as proven by the souls regenerated .. and will yet be vindicated before all men .. by their resurrection unto life eternal in Christ
