2 Corinthians 13:1

Coming with Authority

1 This will be ^athe third time I am coming to you. ^b“By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”

2 ^aI have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent¹ I write to those ^bwho have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again ^cI will not spare—

3 since you seek a proof of Christ ^aspeaking in me, who is not weak toward you, but mighty ^bin you.

4 ^aFor though He was crucified in weakness, yet ^bHe lives by the power of God. For ^cwe also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.

5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, ^athat Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you¹ are ^bdisqualified.

6 But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.
