2 Corinthians 13 1-9

01/11 ~ From New Testament Letters

  🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - I’m on my way to visit you for the third time. And as the Scriptures say, “Any charges must be proved true by at least two or three witnesses.” 2 During my second visit I gave warning, as also now while absent, and as I will when I come again. 3 It should prove to you that I am speaking for Christ, for when he corrects he won't be weak. He will be powerful! 4 Yes he was weak when he was nailed to the cross, but he now lives by the power of God. We are weak, just as Christ was. But you will see that we shall live by the power of God, as Christ does. 5 Test yourselves and find out if you really are true to your faith! If you pass the test, you’ll discover that Christ is living in you. But if Christ isn't living in you, you will fail. 6 I hope you will discover we have not failed. 7 So we pray to God that you may not do wrong, not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to be unapproved. 8 For we have no power against the truth, but only for the truth. 9 For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. Your restoration is what we pray for.
